The biggest twist in the whole story, which unfolds in the last few episodes, took me by surprise. Remember what I said about there being a lot of predictable twists? I kinda lied. A shame, really, because the anime IS able to create a good, creepy atmosphere at times (ex.: the end of episode 3).

Since we're talking about the atmosphere, have I mentioned that some details in crucial moments are overlooked, which obliterates the immersion? Empty hospitals, incompetent cops, silent 's the little things that can make or break the mood. Even in the more lighthearted scenes it's not funny. It really kills the atmosphere and it's not funny. It's astonishing how everyone can easily get away from anything.Īnother problem with this anime is its bad habit of throwing in bits of humor in the middle of serious moments.

Normally the media would be all over a series of bombings, massacres, etc. Speaking of insulting, this show has a nasty tendency to have its world just forget about some of the big events related to the diary holders. Many battles are over within a minute and are so basic it's insulting. When you've got tools as powerful as those, you'd think there'd be gambits just piling up on each other, but no.

The whole concept of using Future Diaries to outsmart opponents in deadly, tense battles is BARELY explored, plus the battles themselves seldom involve complexity. Many questions are left unanswered, some of the writing choices are just plain stupid, half of the characters have a very low IQ and, for a mystery, there aren't that many twists, and those the anime DOES have are often predictable. Thing is, Mirai Nikki is a shounen trying (and failing) to be a seinen thus, it lacks the maturity and depth needed to handle the kind of story it offers. While the premise is amazing, the story & script are very poorly written. I'm sorry, but her voice was annoying and hearing that infamous "Yukki!" every god damn minute was painful. Voice acting-wise, everyone does a solid, consistent job, except for Yuno's seiyuu. The OPs and EDs are also very nice, with the first OP being particularly awesome. Most of the tracks are somewhat memorable and fit their scenes well. Some characters look OK, while others are so ridiculous it makes the anime seem/feel less serious than it should be, which is NOT a good thing for a thriller/mystery. As for character designs, it's pretty hit-and-miss. The art and animation in Mirai Nikki are, for the most part, rather good,īut nothing very impressive. Let's begin with the positive aspects of this show. Unfortunately, after an excellent first episode, this series began to get worse and worse by the end of it all, it had become nothing but a huge disappointment. So naturally, when I heard about Mirai Nikki's premise, I was greatly looking forward to it. Survival games have always been one of my favorite kinds of stories. I'll mark them but if you haven't watched this yet, proceed with caution.

Notice: this review will contain a few spoilers. With no other options, Yukiteru and Yuno must use their cellphones-now called "Future Diaries"-to survive this unforgiving battle royale. After spending the day benefiting from this new asset, Yukiteru learns that his classmate Yuno Gasai possesses a similar diary.Īs the two team up to defeat an odd pursuer and head back to their respective homes, Deus Ex Machina explains that they-alongside 10 other contestants-have been drawn into a survival game whose victor will become the deity's successor.

While initially dismissing it as a coincidence, he slowly realizes that the incidents written in his phone actually take place in the near future. One day, Yukiteru wakes up and discovers that certain events of his day are preemptively displayed on his cellphone. Despite having no friends at school, Yukiteru is frequently seen talking to his supposedly imaginary friends Deus Ex Machina, the god of time and space and Deus' servant, Mur Mur. Yukiteru Amano is a shy middle schooler who regularly keeps track of what he does in his daily life by writing down all of his activities on his phone-a digital diary.
