Preliminary (23/26 eps)
I started watching Mirai Nikki when episode 23 aired. I finished downloading them all at around midnight, and I stayed up until I had watched them all.
-The story is amazing (10). When I started watching, I thought it would a predictable story that wouldn't entertain me at all, but it was quite the opposite. I don't want to spoil anything, though, so I'll just leave it at that.
-Art? Loved it (9). The animation is very good, and it stays with the sort of creepy feel of the anime, while at the same time looking normal when it needs to be. The characters have pupils. I don't know what it is about them, but it adds to the creepiness during the creepy parts.
-Sound. (9). I've enjoyed both of the OPs, especially the first. They both suit the anime very well, and they, unlike some other anime like this, don't show spoilers about the story. In the show itself, the voices and sound effects are great. They avoid having any music at some of the suspenseful parts, and this only adds to the suspense. I personally don't like it when suspenseful music plays at these parts because it just tells me something will happen. The voices are all good, too, especially considering how the seiyuus of both main characters are inexperienced.
-Character (9). Most of the characters develop over the course of the show, especially Yuno. I can't really say much else without super-spoilers, but the only reason this isn't a 10 is because so far, Yukiteru hasn't developed as much as I think he should have. Not to say he hasn't changed, though, because he has. It would be a 9.5 if I were allowed to give it that.
-Enjoyment (10). It kept me up for about 8 hours or so, from midnight to about 8am. I think that's enough to say how much I enjoyed it.
-Overall (10). Sure, there are more 9/10 ratings than 10/10, but considering how good everything was, 10 seems fair. I think I will forever be a fan of this show, and regardless of your type of anime, you should watch it too. I'm usually a fan of slice of life/comedy type anime, and, hold off the "lol of course, anything is better than slice of life" jokes, I enjoyed this to no end.
Get off your ass, stand up, sit back down again, navigate to a site where you can watch this in 1080p, and spend the next 8 hours of your life watching it. That is an order, and you will enjoy it.
