Good Night World does a really great job of depicting the downsides and upsides of escapism, many being related to household issues which in this day of age becomes all too relevant, the way the A.I. is portrayed isn't far from what we have been able to achieve, and this is sad and frightening at the same time. I'm amazed that this is based on a manga that seemed to be ahead of its time with all of these concepts, it's surreal... but I digress, I enjoyed this anime more than I thought that I would, sure, it's flawed and at times gets to a ... point where it seems to be leaning to cliches, but surprisingly was able to subvert some tropes that I'm used to. I recommend this anime because of how seriously it juggles these real-life problems.

Please bear in mind that this review will only cover the first 8 episodes of Digimon Ghost Game, but I'll probably update it once the show has concluded. This is my first ever written review on this site, but I'm a passionate Digimon fan who has been around since the '90s, I've been watching a lot of it to make proper comparisons to the shows we've had, don't worry, I'll leave it spoiler-free and try to take off my nostalgia goggles for any newcomers to the franchise of Digimon. Okay so Digimon Ghost game is a brand new Digimon title but adds a good amount ... of darker tones, not quite horror but suggestive implications of horror, but it retains the cheerful and adventurous wacky feeling of previous titles before it. Those who have been watching Digimon Tamers might feel very similar beats as it was also considered to be one of the darker seasons that have been made. But I hear you ask, Is it any good? Based on 8 episodes so far, the show is very creative, fun and the combat seems to be way more engaging which has been a good direction for the franchise. I like the heroes, but I do have two issues that I'm hoping to see addressed as the show continues, one which is the phasing of the story progression and the second being deeper character development. But if you're a fan or a newcomer, no matter if an adult or kid, there's much to enjoy here!
