She is actually a stalker who keeps a diary all about what Yukiteru is doing that she updates every ten minutes. The second most important character is a girl name Yuno Gasai, who despite not realizing it himself until the game brings them together as participints, she is completely obsessed with Yukiteru. He even has common delusions in his brain where he talks with the God “Deus Ex Machina” about his day, this God later revealing himself to be real and the runner of the future diary game. The main character of the show, Yukiteru Amano, is so antisocial the he has titled himself an “observer” who keeps a cellphone diary of everything that happens around him.
The Future Diary sets up its story with dark tones from the very beginning. You know that there will be and end, and you know that there will be, or should be, continuous progression all towards that end. The thing I like most about premises like this though, is that there is always an endgame in site.
It is a show that has a game like plot, where it put’s both the characters and audience under a kind of restriction on their thinking. Now, to start, The Future Diary is my favorite kind of show. The show also has a one episode OVA that is also not a part of this review as well. I still am entirely judging this on the show though, and I don’t know whether or not the things I found lacking were addressed in the manga. With these diaries though, they must fight until only one participant is left, with this individual taking over and becoming the new God.īefore I go on, I would like to point out that the anime of The Future Diary is actually based on a 12 volume manga series, and this means that there may be plenty of stuff that is left out of the television show.
It is basically a last-man-standing type plot, with 12 people chosen by “God” who have all received the power to see the future through their various “diaries” that they keep, be it a cellphone diary or one kept on a scroll. This year I received the title The Future Diary. But I really do like this project, and I am happy to be a part of it again, this year getting another show that I probably would not have had myself ever complete on my own accord. Wow! Has it been an entire year since I have posted my first review? Yep….And for the same Secret Santa project? Yep….
