Thing is, Mirai Nikki is a shounen trying (and failing) to be a seinen thus, it lacks the maturity and depth needed to handle the kind of story it offers. While the premise is amazing, the story & script are very poorly written. I'm sorry, but her voice was annoying and hearing that infamous "Yukki!" every god damn minute was painful. Voice acting-wise, everyone does a solid, consistent job, except for Yuno's seiyuu. The OPs and EDs are also very nice, with the first OP being particularly awesome. Most of the tracks are somewhat memorable and fit their scenes well. Some characters look OK, while others are so ridiculous it makes the anime seem/feel less serious than it should be, which is NOT a good thing for a thriller/mystery. As for character designs, it's pretty hit-and-miss. The art and animation in Mirai Nikki are, for the most part, rather good,īut nothing very impressive. Let's begin with the positive aspects of this show.
Unfortunately, after an excellent first episode, this series began to get worse and worse by the end of it all, it had become nothing but a huge disappointment.
So naturally, when I heard about Mirai Nikki's premise, I was greatly looking forward to it.
Survival games have always been one of my favorite kinds of stories. I'll mark them but if you haven't watched this yet, proceed with caution. Notice: this review will contain a few spoilers.
