Alas, Yuno cannot rescue MN from itself. Yuno has a great backstory, but the problem is, MN has set up a scenario which ought to be essentially _Death Note_ where everyone has a different kind of Death Note, and this comes with expectations of brainy strategizing and thinking - and MN generally fails on this note gets sloppy; by episode 10, I kept thinking: 'has everyone but me forgotten about Dead Ends?' You'd think that'd be a key mechanic by this point, forcing or tricking other cellphone users.
By the end, I had to face facts: what was a solid 8 dropped to a 7 series. The writing got sloppy, it reached no peak like _Steins;gate_'s relatively intricate time travel; the loop was good, but the ending a massive cop out, especially when you read the manga ending and realize how Yuno broke in. An arrant example of arbitrarily breaking a constructed universe to *force* a totally happy ending. 'Happy End'? More like' Stupid End'. Yukiteru being emo was fine; even _Madoka_ didn't feel the need to bring Madoka back after her sacrifice. Disgusted.
