This review is a reflection of my own personal ideas and opinions; which means that there may be things in my review that may contradict your own opinions. So please, being such that this review is for your enjoyment, please keep any rude or abrasive "stuff" to yourself.
Otherwise, I hope you all have a good day, and that you will enjoy my review :))))))).
Baccano!.... Overall, it was a very enjoyable anime, with my enjoyment being 9/10. Because I don't have much to say beforehand, I will start with the more detailed review regarding each aspect of the anime.
Plot: 9/10
The plot for the anime is
...
probably the highest factor overall, and I would have given it a 10/10 except for the fact that I never give 10/10 to any animes (even if it does indeed deserve it). Now, the plot is not a single linear storyline, in fact; the plot has three stories that focus upon: the mafia, the situation aboard the train, and the immortals. The best thing about the plot, is probably that even though the three main stories are quite diverse, they manage to connect them all in ways I cannot say, due to spoilers. The plot manages to shift through time and different stories in a way that makes it all the more interesting, as while it does that, viewers are able to connect each story to each other piece by piece; and being such that the story is extremely fast paced, it is more enjoyable to the viewers. As the show progresses, you will learn more and more about the characters and the plot itself, making you think during the process.
Characters: 8/10
The next best thing about the anime, is the character design. Although the anime dosn't have a main character, the characters still never fail to impress, each character is very unique and has their own background and story. While the show progresses, new things will be revealed about the characters. The characters can range from being funny, to being a psychotic killer, and that is mainly one of the aspects to why this anime is amazing. The characters are also connected to each other, just as the plot is. finally, the most enjoyable part of the characters is that they all have an important role to play, and the choices and actions they make can create a large effect upon the plot of the story.
Cinematography: 7/10
The cinematography was pretty good, although it could have been better. Buuuut... then again it was made during 2007... Anyways, regarding the animations and art, I think it was OK, as it very smooth and the art had a very 1930's feel to it. The animations got through and during action scenes, it managed to feel very "refreshing". Now, the main part of the cinematography in the anime was the sound. The sound had a very 1930's feel to it, and managed to give appropriate sounds during appropriate moments; ranging from sad to ecstatic type of music.
Overall, my enjoyment of the anime was quite well and my final "grade" for it is a 9/10. This anime was an instant classic and it deserves to be watched by many.
I hope you enjoyed my review, thanks for your time! :)

Ok, before I start, I want to say that this is all my opinion, which you may or may not agree with. I am aware that everyone does not think like I do and there will be controversy, but to be fair you should respect my opinion as I am not forcing you to think like I am and this is just a review. Thanks :)
Mirai Nikki... I will start of by saying this: amazing character design, fair enough visuals, and a good story, combined with good sounds. You may think that I very well enjoyed this anime.... Well if you did, I am sad
...
to say that you are wrong. You may ask why, and I shall tell you with my heart: I extremely dislike Yuno! Why? Well, because of Yuno, she managed to ruin the plot, character design and my overall enjoyment. I will explain more as I review the rest of the aspects of the anime.
Story & plot:
Positives: Although the story is not overall original, as it was very much similar to Deadman Wonderland... The plot I may say, was very original and very intriguing as well. Every episode I was very interested to see what would happen next as each episode builds up with the "juicy stuff" and the twists and turns in the plot. Therefore, many things were unexpected , as the situation increases, and that is what makes the anime so enjoyable.
Negatives: The negatives actually overshadow the positives and that is because of one reason, for which I will get to. But, I would start of with the episodes near the end of the series; the anime tried very hard to build up the drama in each episode and tried to make it more complex. Although they somewhat achieved this, it also left with many plot holes which simply overshadow the complexity that the makers of the anime where trying to achieve. Also, including near the end, because of the plot holes, the plot simply diverged into two plots being a deathmatch survival game and a Yandere bullcrap thing. Because of the Yandere bullcrap thing, the anime gets ruined with the unnecessary scenes of "love" which made me barf. Without the Yandere bullcrap thing, the anime could've advanced in the story with less polt holes and more complexity without having to include unnecessary scenes. Oh yeah did I mention the ending is rubbish? The Yandere crap also helped made the character design fail as well.
Character design:
Positives: Mirai Nikki had one of the best character designs of all time, which eventually breaks down during near the end of the series. Characters are all very intriguing with their own backgrounds, morals, and goals. Each character also has their very own "voice" and are all very diverse with interesting personalities. Throughout the show, characters also develop more, and change sometimes their views. So, unlike most anime, the characters only become better and better as you learn more about them. The anime, being so that it has a diverse range of characters, it gives the viewer a chance to "bond" with a certain character.
negatives: Throughout the show, being so that all the characters are so different, and some don't get enough scene time, and your favorite character may only last for so long... it is very unfortunate when your favorite character dies, since no one else can replace them.... Next, because the plot diverges into two separate plots, many once was important characters become no longer important as they seem to be discarded without a good end to any of them
which makes the only two "important characters" currently existing are: Yuno and Yuki. Because of that, all of the feeling and whatnot the other characters had, are now deemed to be nothing. The only relationships that the main character has now, is with Yuno. Where did all the other characters go?! The main character also changes into being a retarded f***!
Everything else was fine enough, and wasn't very interesting to review on, as they are not bad nor too good. Therefore, this brings my call to action... Please, destroy the love relationship between Yuno and Yuki and change it to a friendly one. Although many people think that it drives the plot, there only has to be a slight fixture which everything else can still be the same. If Yuno and Yuki only had a friendly relationship, then the plot can remain fairly the same, only less disgustingly exaggerated, and with way less plot holes which makes the ending better. This can also change the character design; since Yuki and Yuno's relationship isn't that significant anymore, other characters can now be more important and the main character doesn't have to be a snot. I also won't be disgusted with the "love scenes" (they are definitely not pretty). Oh yeah, remember that horrible ending I said earlier? Yeah, with the "love" being replaced with friendship, the ending would be much better.
Final Verdict: Normally I would probably give the anime a 1/10 as I was disgusted and pissed off throughout the anime. But, if the "love" can just be friendship, then I will give the anime: 7.12/10
