Welcome to the Night World. Your friend, Yoru, is at your service.
'Yoru no Kuni' or 'Night World' is a short ONA that I found to have greater pleasures than I initially thought it could. It follows a 3 part story about individuals who have faced a loss (not necessarily death) in some shape or form. The TLDR of it is that Yoru here helps out these characters in their misfortunes and brings them towards a more lit path in life. I suppose there isn't a lot to feed of with, but for my 42nd iteration, I will once again say short and simple stuff is really good. The presentation here and execution is nothing short of profound, and the whole episodic narrative may not sound like a lot, but it is one that emphasises on feels more than anything else for it to be as great as it is. Overall, well-made stuff.
The audiovisuals are spectacular, nothing but fluid animation, great aesthetics that are coherent with this dreamy night world, somewhat cartoonish character design as well which I think makes it more appealing to all audiences. The selling point is Aimer amazing performances in this anime, from what I recall, it was great listening to what she had to sing. I loved it all around, and the other sounds that set the scene.
Overall, this anime is very enjoyable if you are in need of something quick to watch and easy to watch, it focuses a lot on feels, so if that is your go-to I'd have a look into this. Maybe you'd like to watch it as sleep material, I suppose it would work, after all, this is the Night World.
