Anime Review: Mirai Nikki (The Future Diary)

Of all the anime i've watched there has always been endings that stuck with me, and I usually end up having something about the ending I wish could have happened differently. This anime however, is definitely an exception, today I will review the anime Mirai Nikki, otherwise known as, The Future Diary. This story focuses on two main characters, one is Yukiteru Amano, a small wimpy boy who finds himself with no friends and a terrible family life. The other is Yuno Gasai, a beautiful young girl with an enormous obsession with Yukiteru, or "Yuki" for short. These two characters as well as ten other characters are locked in a survival game to the death with the reward being the ability to be God. The weapon used primarily in this game is the "Future Diary", a setting on the players phones which gives  them details about the future with the phrase "DEAD END" meaning death to the player. This series is grade A story, characters, and animation. This story is mostly sad with some comedy thrown in which gives Mirai Nikki a Fullmetal Alchemist/Elfen Lied tone. The series though does have its happy moments or "HAPPY ENDs". Overall I give this series an 9 out of 10, I personally recommend any anime fan watch this show. Check out episode 1 in the link below and let me know what you think, thank you very much.
