Synopsis

In the online game "Planet," there is a powerful team of four players. This team goes by the name "The Akabane Family," and its members are a pseudo-family that only exists in the game. Although they aren't aware of it, these four players are actually a broken family in real life.

A shut-in older brother. A high-achieving younger brother. A father who is not respected by his own children. A mother who neglects her own household. They do not know the warmth of family. They also don't know that the warmth of their online family is only a passing feeling. And most of all, they don't know they are a real family.

Centered on the deeds of the Akabane Family in the online game "Planet," the story features battles against monsters, clashes with other guilds, and the machinations surrounding "Black Bird," the final objective of the game. The tale takes a major turn as it entangles the real world and this real family.

Really liked this anime, it puts the use of AI in an interesting perspective and avoids cliches.
Wasn't expecting anything to be honest, but I was fully surprised, it started well (fun, easy to watch) and only got more interesting as the story developed (especially with the event of episode 6 it became even more interesting)
The character design and animation in general are very beautiful and well done.
I highly recommend it, especially if you are interested in the subject of artificial intelligence and game programming.
I hope there are more seasons to come, because I watched this one in just one day.

This was such a wasted potential

This show had a very interesting premise, with some deep complex emotional and psychological topics, a nice story progression, a very interesting plot twist, with some relatively deep character development, just to throw it all away near the end, rushing into the finish line and disturbing their own established lore and logic.

The characters are basically a family of strong players in a game, they help each other and act like a real family, but under the curtains they are people with miserable lives, using the game as an subterfuge to escape from reality, the main twist making it all ...

Summary: "AI rules the world" in Ep 1 is fine as setting, but not in climax without development.

Reading the synopsis, it looked like a heart-warming story of a broken family reunited via online game. However there is no such healing at all. It was good until Ep 5, especially due to the difference of art style between real life and game, but went somewhere else after the twist in Ep 6.

Good character design (not only their looks, but also their traumen and accompanied behaviors) and animation, but it seriously lacks coherence in the story. It shares many subjects with SAO, but failed to justify ...
