About The Future Diary

Looking for background on The Future Diary (Mirai Nikki (TV))? This action, supernatural and shounen series by asread. (2011) starts out like this. At its core: Lonely high school learner, Yukiteru Amano, spends his days writing a diary on his cellphone, while conversing with his two seemingly imaginary friends Deus Ex Machina, who is the god of time and space, and Murmur. Revealing himself to be an actual entity, Deus grants Yukiteru a "Random Diary," which shows highly descriptive entries based on the future and forces him into a bloody clash royale with 11 other holders of similarly powerful.

Along the way, he reluctantly teams up with his obsessive stalker Yuno Gasai (who also possesses such a diary), and she takes it upon herself to ensure his safety. There's more to the girl than crosses paths with the eye, as she might have other plans for her unrequited love...

With action at the core, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. If you count yourself among viewers who like fast, high-impact fights, put it on your list.
