For decades now, anime and manga have churned out story after story about people becoming trapped within a virtual reality world, and their adventures as they seek an escape from their digital prison. Numerous series have been built upon this premise, including the classic .hack franchise, but also more contemporary works such as Real Account. Fans of the genre can now add The New Gate—Yoshiyuki Miwa's adaption of Shinogi Kazanami's novel of the same name—to this ever growing list. What sets The New Gate apart from the others, is how it repurposes the endgame of many of the series into a starting point and the potential for it to delve into the aftermath of such events.

Okay, this post is centered more around the anime than the novels or manga, but it's all related, of course. There is even mention of the spin off series!

“Shield Hero's popularity has lead to the inevitable: a spin-off! A light novel known as The Reprise of the Spear Hero, the story follows Motoyasu after he dies and returns to life, learning his spear has the ability Time Reversal. Armed with his knowledge of the past, Motoyasu aims to help Naofumi in any way he can. Unfortunately, Motoyasu's kind of a screw-up so he winds up going through several time-reversed loops as other Heroes die around him, causing him to have to do everything over again.”

I Hear The Sunspot is another series that chooses to tackle this subject matter, depicting the growing relationship between a college student Taichi and his partially deaf friend Kohei. The result is a story that is as emotionally moving as it is thought provoking.
