| FINALLY FINISH IT ? I LIKED ALL THIS SERIE , especially yuno movements and yuki changes , i'm sad from the last part when yuki starts crying alone but it was rlly an excited ending .... |
 |
| I knew it, they are identical And the end? Yuno coming to the empty world? |
 |
| Well, well, well, my favorite dumpster fire came to a conclusion. So, it was all beta-testing Mur Mur's fault. I was happy when they cared to show the state of the Second World after buttering over the Third World (eventho I can't but laugh at the shippers seeing Yukitero with someone else, I am concerned over how similar Amano's GF is to his mother). It was pretty sweet to show the dichotomy, but the dichotomy was ruined by trying to bring back Yuno (prolly First World). Don't get me wrong, I am all for happy endings, but moving on is an important thing and this ending didn't reflect that. And I can't agree more with 2nd Mur Mur over how boring ripoff One Piece can be lol. |
 |
| How can you be considered a god if you die? So Yuno(3) is sad and doesn't get with Yuki(3). sad ending. Yuki(2) is sad then finally starts building a universe and then we hear Mur Mur talk about a new game (to replace Yuki(2)?). Yuno never wins. Yuki never wins. So this series was about 2 losers in the end. Pretty fitting. What sussy does to mfers. I am sad now after finishing this. A sadness not felt from other animes. Its a strange kinda sadness almost surreal. Starts out 8/10 ; midway hit 9/10 and a 10/10 episode in the middle ; then the ending goes down 7/10. The production consistency and plot holes all over not a big deal but everything said I give it a 7/10 overall. |
 |
| Wtf was that ending, this reminds me of Rick and Morty |
| all right, a LOT of people like to shit on this anime, most reasons understandable, but I really loved it. I just like anything that entertains me, doesn't necessarily have to be AOT type logical. I'm so happy to see the other diary owners living happily, especially Minene and Nishijima :D seems to be that Yukki's the only one who didn't get a happily ever after, the one we know, anyway. but I'm glad there was more to Yuno than just being your stereotypical yandere girl after all xD overall, this anime is definitely one I'd rewatch for sure (*´ω｀*)  |

| Original Notes of 2012: |
| Worst of all time. Trench of the medium. Denunciation of media. Dirt standard of storytelling. Bottom of creativity. Bedrock of invention. Foot of ingenuity. Underbelly of imagination. Nadir of innovation. Worst of the worst. Failure among failures. Abyss fiction. |
| Who are you and why do you show your hostility towards a complete stranger whom you've not once spoken with before. Are you seriously asking to get blocked? Well, if that's what your intent is; to tempt me into throwing hands with someone as lowly and insignificant as you, then i may grant your wish provided you articulate yourself a bit better when trying to spite a person of my wavelength. |

| @Eyokolas my exact thoughts fjdjshdbjckfkksns |
> Hi! I'm 
| This show was unbelievably shit but in an entertaining way. funniest part was when the dad parachutes off the building then stabs his wife immediately after. |
| one of the worst shows I've ever watched |
| Objectively it is not good and it is pretty ridiculous overall, not written well at all (if you care about that). However, i cant help but like it, since i watched it on the early 2010s when i was very young. The openings, yuno, the ridiculousness of the whole plot, it all just seems fun in the most campy and entertaining ways possible. Yuno also made the show, though i liked minene too. Honestly, wouldnt object to be in Yuki´s place regarding that relationship, outside of the awful death games haha. It is really surprising how something so objectively bad can feel that good to watch. I love this show for what it is. |

| I finally rewatched this underrated great franchise, 12 years later since first completing it in 2012. It's kind of greater than I remember. 9/10. |
| Ngl I skipped through most of this episode. I was just so fed up with the plot that I didn't really care anymore. From what I saw, Yukki became god, and fixed everyone's lives. So now everyone's happy, including his other self, who I think is dating that other girl, meanwhile Yuno... Got friends or something? idk. Minene had babies with Nijishima (one could fly... for some reason?), and the couple who had the exchange diary are having a kid too. Everyone's happy. Great. Pretty much none of those deaths we saw meant anything because everyone's alive and their lives are fixed. This show did not go the way I thought it would. It really had my interested for I think the first half but man it really started to lose me after that. The writing felt all over the place, and I feel like Yuno's motivations fell apart too. Things got way too convoluted. Don't think I'll be picking this show up again for a rewatch, at least not anytime soon. This is like a 5 or 6 out of 10 for me. It was like a 7 or 8 in the first half before the plot really went off the rails. |
 |
| I did not see a “happy” ending coming for this after a certain point in the show, it really seemed impossible, and maybe it was for the characters we knew in the 2nd cycle, but the 3rd cycle really became the perfect world for every character that participated in the future diary game thanks to the interference of Yuno, Yukiteru and Minene, and man I can’t help but love it because it’s like I said after each death of the players in the game, they were mostly good people turned bad by the game, yeah their lives were in rough spots for one reason or another, but even that was fixed in the 3rd world, and this led to things like Keigo’s son being alive, the 12th meeting up with the 3rd in prison, Ai and Marco having a kid, or the most surprising of all being John and the matron of the orphanage ending up together lmao, as weird as that is, I can’t help but say good for them. There is one weird instance of the Minene of the 2nd cycle surviving and ending up with the 3rd’s Nishijima while the 3rd’s Minene’s is out on the run still, but hell I even love this too lol, Minene really came around for me as a character so I’m glad she got her happy ending, had kids and is still being the cutest gap moe, gotta love it, looks like her kids inherited the weird god powers too lol. But there’s two important ones I haven’t mentioned yet, and that is Yukiteru and Yuno, their last moments together were awesome and I really loved seeing Yuno finally see the light after seeing her 3rd cycle’s self’s future (and there was the 2nd cycle’s Mur Mur finally appearing, I was right to question that apparently lol), but the ending for the two of them feels kinda bad, the 3rd cycles of each had good lives but our Yukiteru lost his Yuno, became god, and did nothing with his power while being alone for TEN THOUSAND years, holy shit lol, I’m glad there’s an OVA because damn that is a rough place to end for those two, I just hope them getting a better ending doesn’t ruin everyone else’s in the process lol. And that was the future telling phone battle royale anime, I know it’s not really the end yet but it is the end of the TV anime so I’ll still put my final thoughts here anyway. That was quite the insane watch I must say lol, it had a lot of issues but overall I’d say it was super fun and unique, I was thoroughly entertained for the majority of the show. And it had a lot of really memorable characters including the generational waifu that’s still relevant today, Yuno Gasai, I think it’s safe to say she defined a whole archetype of waifu, I know she’s not the first yandere but I think this show did such a good job with that type of character that she’s without a doubt one of the bests, although best girl is Minene tho lol, I’m surprised at myself for thinking that by the end but they really made me go from hating her to loving her, I may even slap her on my favorite characters list after this, I think she deserves it. This had some really nice ost too, the use of stock sounds was off putting but the original music was really good, I especially loved the somber piano track, I really gotta find that one later. And along with the ost was a great combo of OPs and EDs, I think they were all really good and fitting for the show, but if I had to compare, I’m thinking OP1>OP2 and ED1>ED2, they were all good of course but I think the first two were a tad bit better. I’m glad I finally got around to watching this now classic anime with my buddy, it was a really good time. |

| Mirai Nikki is very likely to be the worst written anime to ever become popular and certainly the worst anime I have ever seen. At the root of it is a citation of ex-anime youtuber Digibro who said in defense of SAO against Asterisk Wars in one of his videos: "There are shows of bad ideas, and there are shows of no ideas, this is a show of no idea", which is something I think defines Mirai Nikki in every possible instance. The most egregious thing in this show's writing stems from the fact there is not one moment where real world logic applies to anything happening within the universe the characters are inhabiting and the anime never once claims itself to be cartoon where it could bypass this issue, even worse, Mirai Nikki takes itself completely seriously, like to an excruciating extent. I could list every incoherences and plotholes within the plot (and I already did several times on episodes discussion threads) but it would actually take me several hours to be exhaustive and I can even to pinpoint everything. Therefore, I'm going to be quick with the biggest offenders: Murder, despite being at the center of the entire script, is never once treated like a severe and serious act by any of the characters. Something I cannot tolerate is how much the writer expects you to be empathic towards all the psychopaths filling the whole cast and discard every despiseful acts they commit during the show. Minene Uryuu is introduced as a clear antagonist and a terrorist, she plants c4 and mines in a school and blows up multiple classrooms, the story insists upon the fact she has killed a numerous amount of children and yet, every time she appears afterwards she is considered as somehow of an anti-hero with a grey sense of morality and not once her previous acts are frowned upon by any other character, worse than that, multiple character ally with her without second thoughts. I have no issue with having serial murderers as protagonists however they need a reason to explain their vicious actions especially if it's this extreme and when death is supposed to be taken seriously. Minene Uryuu has no reason to ever be forgiven, she is a terrorist from beginning to end, she kills dozens of children during her first appearance and never feel an ounce of remorse about it, she gets to be one of the few who stays alive and got away scot-free with everything she commited. She isn't the only one, Kurusu Keigo has no problem with executing a child in cold blood during an interrogation despite being a police officer, Hinata's father had killing dogs and is presented as a tragic figure, Mao was ready to stab another kid for no reason and of course Yuki's father killed his ex-wife without any care and for no other reason than she angered him a bit. Second issue is how no character seem to have any opinion about all the supernatural elements occuring around them. Not at one point a single character was even shocked by how absurd and terrifying the situtation they are in is. Many, MANY characters who aren't involved within the Death Game are aware of its existence, the future-reading devices and the possibility of the winner becoming god itself, such as Yuki's friends Hinata, Mao and Kosaka, Nishijima, Akise and else. In the world of Mirai Nikki, this death game is supernatural, in other words, a supernatural element occuring in the real world, despite its sudden happening and enormous stakes (the whole world will end if no one wins), once again, all character seem to have little to no care about their possible fate and condition, all of them just take part in this game and with the exception of Yukiteru, are totally fine with killing dozens of people. At no point anyone questions Deus Ex Machina role into this and why would the fate of humanity be on their shoulder, all of them just roll with it. Yuki's friend group is so unbothered by this they all seem to have an active deathwish by taking part into so many events where they would get kill easily, especially involving the serial killer psycho Yuno Gasai. Nishijima manage to reach the state of a parody character when despite being well aware of the situation, just asks for marriage an assumed child murderer terrorist who's fate was either to be killed or become god, he's knows it and just wants to fuck her anyway. Violence in Mirai Nikki is also a subject of complete nonsense, everyone is invincible except when the show needs them to die. Minene, Yuno, Yuki and others are shown multiple times to tank c4 and grenade explosions point blank without suffering any wound or injury, how hilarious then when at the end of the show, Minene happens to come across a claymore mine and despite noticing it early and dodging, she still loses part of her arm by an explosion she would have ignored in any scene beforehand. Some characters survive getting stabbed, others do not, Kurusu is equipped with a bulletproof vest in case the unarmed child he intended to kill would somehow manage to overpower him but Nishimija doesn't bring one when attacking a building filled with corrupted pistol wielding guards alongside a terrorist. Yuno is particular is the most incomprehensible character in terms of her actual capabilities. She is shown overpowering grown adults and easily swinging axe, wielding special units SMGs like MP5 without ear protection, has feats of superhuman stamina and yet, she is also often shown to be overpowered with ease by other teenagers like Akise or Yukiteru. The threat she actually incarnates never works because she is either all powerful or weak when the plot needs her to be. Coming back to the argument of Mirai Nikki being "a show of no idea", it's a problem which concerns all characters in the show even the main couple to an extent. The entire premise of Mirai Nikki is centered around the "death game", a very popular story archetype in which many characters take part in a battle among themselves and where only one person will win and survive, it was mostly popularized by the movie adaptation of Battle Royale, but also worldwide phenomenon tv serie Squid Game or also critically acclaimed VNs and anime Fate/Stay Night and Fate/Zero. In all of those examples, the story focuses mainly onto the characters, their life, ideals, motivations, and their relationship and reason towards participating in this death game. In the case of Mirai Nikki, literally zero character have any more personality or depth beyond the one trait they embody, I could just name the 12 important characters in this death game by their trope and that would resume their entire character. There's the asocial main character, the yandere girlfriend, the serial killer teacher, the solitary terrorist, the police officer, the blind cult leader, the crazy guy who wants to be a superhero, the vengeful kid, the dad who likes dogs, the couple who really loves each other, the evil mayor and the mama in charge of an orphanage, that's the only trait of personality they all have and none are ever expanded upon. The story is so unconcerned with their existence that apart from 3 of them, the majority gets barely 2 if not one episode of screentime before dying and 4 of them do not have more than 5 lines of dialogue in the entire anime (3, 12, 10 and 8). As for the death game itself, it is simply absurd how nothing about it is explained and in how it doesn't hold any subtext or purpose beyond being a pretext for action to occur. To make some comparisons, in Squid Game, the aforementionned is a metaphor about how South-Korea's socio-economic system can reduce individuals life to a point where dying would be a better fate than living under society, and in Fate/Zero, the holy grail war is fake quest where the true nature of its participants is revealed in hope of attaining their wish. In Mirai Nikki, the death game comes from nowhere, for no reason, involving random people for a quest which ended up unresolved. The writer just throws at you Deus Ex Machina and Murmur expecting you to already know who they are and what are their purpose and you remain asking yourself what are their deal for the entire story while they just talk about unexplained concepts like causality. This would have work for a mystery show, the grail isn't much explained in Fate either but here it doesn't because the show isn't a mystery at any point, the author never wants you to ask yourself about the death game, he just uses as a setting and do not extrapolate beyond. At the very end, Murmur and Minene fight each other using godlike magical abilities and you're supposed to accept they can do that because it wasnt foretold at any moment before, just for the sake of having a climatic boring shonen fight. On top of what I said before about the shallowness of these characters, all of them have no desire at all towards achieving the goal of this death game. Some of them are downright denying the wish of becoming god yet still participates in the game and for the few who wants to become god, it's always for such trivial things it feels like they do not even realize the plot they're taking part of, Kurusu wants to heal his son and that's it, the mayor throws a vague line about the roman empire and nothing else. You cannot be attached about a story premise the characters are actively avoiding at any possible instance, if they don't care about becoming God, while would I care about them being part of this game and why would they take part of this game in the first place? Them being forced into the death game is also an idea that's entirely unexplored apart from the main character even though him and Yuno are the only one doing anything of importance, which transitions into my next point. Mirai Nikki is the most predictable I ever had the displeasure to come across. I would have never expected when starting this anime about a death game to be this incompetent in depicting a death game. First of all, discovering each participants identities, which is one of the keypoint of Fate or many other death game stories, is completely ignored because everyone's identities are BARELY hidden behind some weird silhouettes but if there was still doubt, the anime goes out of its way to spoil them in the opening anyway. Virtually everything that happens can be predicted minutes if not entire episodes before. Every other participants are killed by Yuki and Yuno, this makes any possibility of suspense disappear, after the second fight you already know how every confrontation will turn out and they all turn out the same. The show becomes the most pathetic monster-of-the-week possible because barely anyone poses an actual threat and it feels like none of them would actually fight together if Yuno wasn't participating. All betrayals are obvious from the beginning by the very premise of a death game, what is even crazier is the way Yukiteru still acts surprised about getting betrayed for the 4th time while he also betrayed another participant before. You can tell who's going to die and who's going to live just from their character design alone, after all it doesn't matter because everybody ends up dead just for shock value and yet not a single death feels remotely impactful, sometimes they are laughable in the way some characters go from obsessed murderer to depressed crybabies when they're about to die. The whole script is so formulaic it doesn't stray once from the scheme it established in the first episode; they're trying to find a diary user, they stumble upon them, they struggle or lose at first, then yuno goes insane and kills them/ they get a pep talk and decide to kill themselves. No character manages to escape the game, no character tries to cheat the rules, no character attempt to stop the games and no one but the main cast look to kill each other. Funny thing is, when the show is actually unpredictable, it doesn't expand on its ideas whatsoever, 2 characters are revealed to be openly homosexual and lesbian at the very end, only to be both killed mere seconds afterwards or made irrelevant. Last thing I want to say is how boring, ugly and souless the whole presentation is. Never seen such lack of idea in both visual quality and visual direction. The whole anime is absolutely filled with CGI assets, most criminally Deus Ex Machina which looks so old and dated it makes modern ugly CG looks like ILM tier in comparison. Everything is shot in the most unimaginative way possible, actions scenes are a chaotic mess of characters flaying around. There is no sense of space and locations seem to become either gigantic or miniscule when they need to be. Once the camera is away by just a few meters for a wideshot everyone turns offmodel for the derpiest faces possible. Sakuga is absent, the 2 only money shots are still frames of Yuno's crazy face, which, I know for a fact, are the only sequences anyone remember from this edgefest. The anime never ever moves and when it does move it's janky and jarring, all attempts to close combat is hilariously bad and considering no balistic works like it should with people missing bullets from centimeters away and infinite ammo, most fight scenes are as uninteresting as they could be. Fire is useless and doesn't harm anyone, neither do explosions, falling debris will only hurt ennemies but the good guys will stay unscathed, for an anime where writing only exists for action to take place, action is not once entertaining. Also I need to shout out the composer, he was so bored scoring the anime he recycled all his tracks twice at least and managed to incorporate the funniest sound effects inside them, I'm almost sure some of these sound effects are actual memes, I have no idea if they actually come from this show but considering how ridiculous they are it would not be a good point. This show has also one of the most confusing approach to displaying sexual content. Nudity often happens early in the show but the tits are always censored typical of anime but at some point, Minene Uryuu is undressed and her tits are entirely shown uncensored on screen, same goes for number6 and Yuno soon after. Nudity appears and disappears at regular intervals in an absolute tasteless way, it's always for the most basic fanservice but it's so random and misplaced it's obvious the only reason of showing bare tits is to seem even more """mature""". Mirai Nikki still fails at everything though, because the only times where showing nudity would seem reasonable, the ending sex scene between the main couple, is cut short by lasting barely 30 seconds to completely annihilate the little impact this moment could have had in displaying their relationship. This is insane for me to say for how rare it is but I must say it as well, this is the worst seiyuu performance out of any anime I've seen. Yuno first, has the single most annoying anime girl voice imaginable, she screeches constantly and keeps alternating in range in an attempt to create personality, the reason this was her only notable role isn't surprising to me. Yukiteru's seiyuu isn't better, she makes Asta's voice sounds bearable, crying and whining without stop for the most shitty Shinji impersonation possible. Ishida Akira is bored out of his mind, Norio Wakamoto as well is doing his king brittania's voice and it once again almost reaches parody by making him spew broken english words to sound cool, it's just terrible and he clearly has no idea what the hell the story is even about. No one even wants to put a decent performance, there's no aspect of this anime deserving of it. This is a very long rant but the sad reality is, I actually have nothing compelling to say about Mirrai Nikki. Despite everything I have written, it's the quintessential fast-food anime. It was never made to be deep, original or tell anything, it was made to sell merch, dvds and manga volumes because the main girl has an attractive design, nothing more than that. Mirai Nikki never even existed, it was just Yuno. The whole premise of the story is just having a yandere as a main character, everything else built around it was just a pretext for her to exist and do things. There is no symbolism, no metaphor, no subtext, no morale, no message, no desire to convey anything from the author to the viewer, it isn't art, it's a product, and a failed one. I hope this edgefest remains forgotten by anime culture for the decades to come until it falls into absolute obscurity, and it's already on a good path to do so. |

| holy yap brother ^ it was an alright show, nice to see everyone get their happy ending in this third incarnation; wonder what that ending was where Yukki got visited by Yuno |
 |
| IT'S SOOO BAAAD, INCOHEREDNESS, SO A$$$$$. How could they leff that mediocre dung on this finale, man, ithought nothing could be worse than AoT.. I'VE ONLY REALISED JAJAJJA, the outro sounds like "Mr Incredible becomeing canny" before "Four Seasons - Spring" |
| Rewatched this anime and I hate the most is Yukki at this rate... Why did you let her die, Yukki?! She gave up everything, her sanity, her humanity, her very life for you can be together. Yuno killed, lied, and suffered just to keep you alive, to stay by your side, and what did you do? You hesitated. You doubted her when she needed you the most. You always rely on her for your selfishness. You stood there like a coward while she carried the weight of a world built on pain and obsession, all for *you*. And in the end, when she was broken and at her lowest, you *let* her go. You let the one person who loved you more than anything end her life because you were too weak to save her, too selfish to see past your fear. Yuno didn’t just die she was abandoned by the only person she ever lived for. Damn you, Yukki. You didn’t deserve her. Muru-Muru is better than Yukki, she did everything for her master even saving her memories inside her till Yuno died. And what did you do Yukki? You became a depressed NEET God! SEVENTH (Marco) was right, "How long do you want to keep being a coward? You better die." Why can't you just destroy Yuno phone and you two live forever as God. I don't understand at all. Even if Yuno get sucked like other players when their diaries broken, Yuno still a God of Time and space. She can free herself right? But again, Yuno did everything even carried this anime. She's the best Yandere who did everything for her love. Ngl I need girl like her. |
