GOOD NIGHT WORLD (Season 1)

Good Night World (2023) is a Netflix sci-fi anime you can watch online on iFILM, about a family that's broken in real life and whole inside a video game. The four Arakawas barely speak when they share a table.

Log into the immersive game "Planet," though, and they're a tight-knit guild — calling themselves Good Night World — with no clue they're fighting alongside their own relatives. A distant father, a worn-out mother, a shut-in older son, and a younger boy still in school found each other only behind borrowed avatars. As the wall between the server and the apartment starts to thin, one question sharpens: which of the two families is the real one?

Adapted from Uru Okabe's manga, the show leans on quiet hurt rather than spectacle, tracing people who've been written off by everyone around them. It's for viewers who like science fiction that talks about loneliness at home instead of war in space. Stream Good Night World (2023) online on iFILM.
