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. In short: Lonely high school learner, Yukiteru Amano, spends his days writing a diary on his cellphone, while conversing with his two seemingly imaginary allies 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.

Soon after, 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 runs into the eye, as she might have other plans for her unrequited love...

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Think of it as a pick for viewers who like fast, high-impact fights.
