Japanese television has a knack for doing more with less, and Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS is a prime example. It's currently available in Australia on Amazon Prime Video and Shahid VIP, and in the US on Amazon Prime Video and Hulu, so there's no reason to keep putting it off. A 7/10 rating means the audience agrees.
The world-building is meticulous, but it's the characters who carry Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS through the more ambitious episodes. Den City is a city with advanced network systems in which a VR space called LINK VRAINS was created by SOL Technologies. The Knights of Hanoi, a group that hacks through dueling, as well as SOL Technologies are seeking a mysterious AI program. Yusaku Fujiki, also known as Playmaker, is a first year high school student who manages to capture this AI program while trying to find out the truth about an incident in the past. Shoya Ishige and Shunsuke Takeuchi lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It aired in 2017–2019.
Perfect for late-night viewing or a proper weekend binge. The kind of show that makes you feel the absence when it ends.
