Terrible, absolutely terrible.

Shoddy animation, Yuno sounds horrible, and most of all..the CGI has got to be some of the worst I've seen. It's even worse than Iron Man and that's definitely saying something.

I am really disappointed in this special/ova/trailer or whatever you want to call it. The preview, even with it's flaws looked better than this.

If this is to get a true anime adaptation I hope Asread isn't doing it since they have no idea on how to animate something.

My only real gripe is that Yukiteru's voice was a little too high for my liking, in that it was pretty obvious that his VA was female. Yuno sounded more or less how I always thought she did, which is to say she sounded like just about every other yandere I've seen. I'm not saying that it's a bad thing, it's just that I can't think of any other way it could be done.

As for the length/content, I don't really mind it too much. Of course I'd like to see more but given there's no word on an official series, I understand why they went with this format.
Ha-cha!

Wow, this was different from what I would've expected. I thought I'd be able to see at least a full length episode depicting the first few chapters, but whatever.

Art is pretty, animation is mediocre, Deus looks funny, they could definitely do better on his animation. About the characters looking a little chubby, I think it's fine for me, looks pretty ok anyways.

Yukiteru sounded ok, Yuno's just a little too high pitched. Considering the 2 seiyuus are fairly new, I'm sure they'll do better with some more practice. Just give them some time. Deus and Muru Muru sounded just about how I imagined them. As for Minene, I worried when I noticed she was being voiced by Aizawa Mai, considering most of her roles are quiet/gentle characters. I guess I worried too much, because SHE WAS FREAKING AWESOME. I almost jizzed when I heard her voice. She's going to be another seiyuu I'm going to take note of.

To put it crudely, it's just a slightly longer version of the 1 minute PV with voices. It's pretty bad considering they took so long for this, but this will do for now. I wouldn't mind Asread continuing this if they actually decide to make a real series, just, they'll have to brush up a little. Let's just hope we'll have an announcement of some sort when the manga ends.

Uhhh what? So is the 9 minute shit the OVA or not?

I'd say "not" since it felt more like a promo vid.

Jesus Christ that was horrible. I think the only thing I liked in it was Merumeru's voice, which might not have even been that appropriate for her character. Bad character design changes from the manga. Stupid music that was timed wrong for the plot, I hope they DON'T make a Mirai Nikki anime if it's going to be like this.

Disappointing. But this is kind of a trailer anyway. Hopefully the anime will be as awesome or even better than the manga when it comes out eventually.

As a trailer , I could say this was rly rly good . As an OVA ... not even watchable ... so I don't count it as an OVA xD Especially for ppl who haven't read the manga , this was confusing as hell lol xD

I liked all the voices (Yuno's is kinda high pitched but not something I wouldn't get used in an epi or 2) and surprisngly I liked how they made Deus xD It gave a dif feel to the usual animation imo :3 Also , Minene FTW <3

Generally I am disappointed by this since I waited so long for this OVA and it's more of a trailer than an actual OVA . I rly do hope they are gonna make an anime of it . It'd be so awesome !

Who cares about the first seven minutes of the OVA. Just cheap eye candy to dazzle one's untrained eye.

The real content starts when YUI's ED theme was played.

You seem to not realize that we all felt this would be a full episode and not some glorified preview. I've followed this manga for almost four years and have been waiting for this anime. And what do I get. A big epic FUCK YOU!

Sure, my opinion of the manga is that I love and worship it. But just because I love the manga doesn't mean I'm going on my hands and knees and sucking the anime preview's dicky.

This was a mediocre, half assed sizzle reel to a potentially disastrous anime series.

And yes Deus looked fucking awful. He's supposed to be a God in this series and he looks like shit.

Also take in the fact that most of the people had come to watch the OVA to see Yuno Gasai, who is the heart and soul of this series, go yandere. And we didn't get that. We got Uryuu go crazy for a few seconds. That's cool and all. But it's not Yuno being all yandere for Yuki.

The only good to come out of that OVA was the end song.

The more I watch this, the more I hate it.

Watching this 9 minute preview was like watching someone put a torch and setting fire to all the memories I have and love about the manga.

Also we have a right to criticize the animation, like we have the ability to criticize the opinions of others. But that's just it, they're opinions. Nothing to rage about.

I did like Yuno's voice and her scenes. And if the anime comes. I will watch it because I believe there's still some hope.


I agree that Mirai Nikki is carried by Yuno. Heck Yuno is my favorite anime character. I'd be the first to say that the OVA didn't have enough yandere and that is a disappointment. That said I don't think what I saw was bad because if they fleshed out the story and stayed faithful (they seem to be doing this) it would be good. The entire feel was correct. It had the ominous feel that the manga has and it would make into a good series if they ran with it. The OVA was not bad at all and it's only going to get better.

Also, the ED was godawesome. But it sure doesn't sound like Yui : / Sounds more like Yousei Teikoku or so >.> Oh wait, Yousei Teikoku's vocalist and song writer is called Yui too. That explains it.
That is all.

I don't get why people are watching this if you haven't read the manga. If I hadn't read it, it wouldn't make sense at all.

And it's seven minutes of shit. Not like you're missing out on anything.

Colossal letdown.. but as a trailer, not that bad. I was quietly hoping for Ogata Megumi to voice Yukiteru, and his VA sounded close enough that I was happy, and Minene's voice was excellent (although she did have like 2 lines..), Yuno's wasn't as atrocious as I was led to believe, art not notably bad.. but I really wish it was made more obvious that this was going to be just a trailer because I feel impossibly let down.
I think I might just reject reality and go and live in hope that we've all been trolled and areal 30-min OVA (or series) is coming out any day now.

Hmm, personally I liked it quite a bit. I mean, I totally loved Yuno's voice. She's supposed to be the "school idol", someone you would never expect to be an ax weilding psychopath and she fits that part. I really liked her.

I actually thought the CG wasn't too bad either. It did what it was supposed to do.

Either way, I thought it was pretty good, right around what I would have expected. Wanted to see more of the 9th though, her role was pretty minimal.

It's not that I hated the OVA. It could get better. I did have some gleeful squealing when Yuno came onscreen. But.......I waited months for a 9 minute video.

I can see many people dislike the series .... well , I don't blame them but agree with them afte I re-watch the series again for three time ... how could the producer of the anime create this ? Yuno does not sound like Yuno . Dues does not look like Dues except that his voice is perfect with his image and yukiteru ... well , he look the same , chicken as always and ask yuno for her help like always (damn you yukiteru) ... but the manga is different ...

but still 7/10 overall(I know , even I an't believe that I give this anime this much) , well , that is thank for the ending theme for saving the anime ...

This is amazing! We have a person named Yukiteru who is bored where the time/space God is and magically somehow makes that God get into a game. Sound like Higashi no Eden except this is way better because it's not about having a certain amount to play with to accomplish a goal. It's to have a vast power that makes you the new God of space/time. Now that's exciting but less realistic but who cares.

Yuno looks adorable and a first kiss already to Yukiteru from Yuno! O_O Oh my! So fast! I hope it won't be like that in the TV series. Any fan service going to happen? Muru muru has a nice appeal and of course Minene is nuts completely, remain to be seen how strong is that person. She does look insane to me now. Of course best are the designs of Deus Ex Machina
although the design might be appealing to some people, I like it despite having some thoughts about Digimon but anyways. Phone+diary+telling of the future+each diary having different capabilities=something I will like! :D

The reason they made this was to see if it would work as an anime. As far as I see this was a success. They even called it a Pilot implying this.

If a real Anime series will follow out of this I'll be very happy. Seeing that the Manga will end soon anyway it could be easily adapted into a series without having an open end.

I just hope if they really intend to do an Anime one day, they'll use the same wonderful ending by Yousei Teikoku.

....that was more like a really long trailer.......They fit the entire first volume of the manga into 9 mins & got it all in the wrong order. It takes skills to mess up an amazing manga like that :)

Hopefully this is just a pilot and they'll make a proper anime or OVA series, coz i like the animation - except for deus & strangely i like yuki's girly voice :)

I agree that it was good as a preview, but not as an OVA. I loved the animation and the sound was great. Yuki and Yuno's voices were okay, but I think they could have been better. Deus' animation was horrid. o_o I didn't bother to listen to the ED song until I found out how much everyone liked it, now I think it's awesome. :D I think they did a fantastic job following the manga though. Although, someone who didn't read the manga probably wouldn't get what was happening.

Wow, an 8-minute trailer... They breezed through the entire beginning of the manga, summarized it in one compact pill, spoiled stuff, and I didn't like it at all. Yuno's voice is so terrible I might skip on full anime if it ever comes out... Funnily enough, I don't mind Deus. o.O It's not like he was moving around a lot in the first place.
I agree though that Minene's voice is awesome. The only good thing in this trailer-like thing. :D

12 Episodes? Ha! Considering it's on 50 some very good, plot filled chapters that could be split into pretty long episodes, it needs 24 episodes at least. It would not make a good 12 episode series...
