What is Mirai Nikki you ask?
Can be answered in one word: YANDERE
Yandere means obsessive love, stalking, and a certain measure of brutal insanity.
I have always had a soft spot for totally up-the-wall completely insane anime characters, Haruko Haruhara of FLCL being the first I can remember. But I never knew what Yandere was, or that I LIKED yandere until I watched Mirai Nikki. I was instantly hooked.
Mirai Nikki's Gasai Yuno takes the insanity cake. A character so insane I'm not sure how anyone cannot be entertained by her. The way she seesaws from cute anime girl to slasher serial killer is trance inducing.
...
When it comes to being insane, cute, and creepy all at the same time it is hard to top Yuno.
You are often caught up in the suspenseful mystery around yuno, why is she the way she is? What else is she hiding? As creepy as Yuno manages to be in episode 1, somehow she gets even crazier and scarier the longer the show goes on. Every time you think you can get used to Yuno... then it gets worse.
Throughout the series you are guaranteed to go from feeling bad for Yuno and cheering for her to thinking, 'christ, run the hell away!'
In the end though; everyone loves yuno :D
My TWO big gripes with Mirai Nikki? The male lead is boring as hell, and once you know all of Yuno's secrets, which there are many of, the show has poor re-watch value. It's not one of those shows that somehow blows your mind every time you see it no matter how many times you do. But the first time you watch it... buckle up.
