I actually wanted to watch this anime for a really long time, but somehow I didn't. I don't know why, maybe I just didn't have time for it and when finally I decided to start watching it, my computer broke.... And now I finally got new one and my autumn holiday came, so I decided to marathon few animes and mangas. Mirai Nikki was one of them.
I really loved the storyline. It was quite original and I actually didn't expect most of the plot twists. I never expected that the end would be what it was... I thought that Yuno will kill Yuki or Yuki will realize how messed up Yuno is and kill her first. Well suicide together was a possibility as well. I liked the use of diaries and how each of them had a name, though there was few diaries that I couldn't even understand what they did or why they were called the way they did. I know that most people know this anime for the blood and survival game, but I think it was extremely sad and all that gore and bloodshed came in second place for me. And the end kinda reminded me of Vampire Knight (more precisely the part where Yuki is laying in oblivion with the long hair and all that... That struck me like a scene from straight form VK chapter 63~64). Though don't get me wrong I wasn't happy with the ending. Of course everyone had their own 'happy ending', but I put so much hope that Yuki and Yuno will end up together. It just somehow made me mad.
I loved how every character was very different from the other and that they had an interesting background (at least the ones who's background were showed). I liked the main characters a lot and when most people know Yuno as one crazy biach, I think of her as a girl that had a lot of traumas. I know she's psycho and all, but at the end all I could do was cry and think how hard it must have been for her. I think Yuki was the most boring character. All he was, was a born observer (just like me..). I think it was fun to watch him react to things that happened, but he himself didn't have any baggage that he could bring into the story, except his idiot father. For me 9th was the most interesting character. She brought in something into the story that I can't describe in words. Also she was a simple character and had sense of justice (though in her own twisted way).
I couldn't decide if I should give art 10 or 9 because some of the explosions I saw in anime kinda sucked... Exceptionally the one where the tower blew up. But at the end I think I liked the art so I will give it 10. Like I said I won't be picky when it comes to art. Overall I really liked the anime. I didn't read the manga yet, but I hope it's gonna be just as good or even better.
Well I hope I did better job on this review than on the last one.
