WTMG’s Oliver Shellding: “The story of No Sleep for Kaname Date goes deep and long, and I won’t lie: it gets wild and rather uncomfortable at times. As a result, the intersplices of humor and the hyperfixations of the characters act as important points of levity to remind you how wild and weird the world truly can be. Even if you’ve never touched AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES in any capacity previously, this is a solid entrypoint that might even be better thanks to pacing and plenty of extra reading to catch up on previous events. It’s captivating, it’s complex, and it’s riddled with intrigue and mystery. The moments you live are the moments you remember, and, though he is exhausted from lack of sleep, Kaname Date very much feels alive.”
