The Future Diary
Would you kill your loved one to protect them? Alternatively, if you can't have someone you love, would you murder them? To be with the person you love, would you rather cross dimensions and kill your doppelgängers, or would you repeat the same life again and again with them? Love may drive someone insane and drive them to the point where they will do anything for the person they love. Let's talk about one of the best Yandere animes ever produced.
On October 10, 2011, Asread and Naoto Hosoda released the anime version of "The Future Diary" for television. The producers include Lantis, Kadokawa Shoten, Rakuonsha, Kadokawa Pictures Japan, KlockWorx, chara-ani.com, 12 Diary Holders, Dwango, and Sakura Create. Eiji Hirayama and Ruriko Watanabe are responsible for character design.
The eleventh volume of the manga came out on December 9, 2010, in small numbers and came with a DVD with an eight-minute "pilot" edition. Funimation obtained the series' license for North American distribution, and Niconico mirrored it. Later, they declared that they had secured the rights for home video distribution. The series was transferred to Crunchyroll when Sony bought Crunchyroll.
The television show concludes with an original video animation episode named Future Diary: Redial. On June 19th, 2013, Niconico streamed a special version of it. Additionally, the same-named manga volume sequel was included in the deal. Based on a manga series of the same name, this 26-episode animation ran for 23 minutes each. It was supernatural, full of action, and full of suspense. Some themes were gore, high-stakes games, psychological issues, and survival. Shounen was the targeted demographic, receiving an R+ rating for mild nudity.
The manga was serialized in Kadokawa Shoten's Shōnen Ace magazine from January 26th, 2006, to December 25th, 2010, and it was collected into 12 volumes by the publisher, along with two side-story comics, Future Diary: Mosaic and Future Diary: Paradox, which were each collected into one book. Only 10 volumes of the manga, which Tokyopop initially licensed in English for North America, were published before Tokyopop stopped publishing on May 31st, 2011.
Viz Media, the series' current license holder, made the first nine volumes available online. The May 2013 issue of Shounen Ace, which went on sale on March 26th, 2013, had a preview of a different manga named Future Diary: Redial (Mirai Nikki Ridaiyaru), and a single volume of Redial was published in July 2013.
The protagonist of our novel, Yukiteru Amano, is a shy middle schooler who frequently keeps track of his daily events by noting them all down on his phone, which he uses as a digital journal. Yukiteru claims that Deus Ex Machina, the deity of time and space, and Deus' servant, Mur Mur, are his apparent imaginary buddies, despite the fact that he has no friends at school.
When Yukiteru wakes up one day, he finds that some of the events of his day, which are yet to pass, are already displayed on his phone. He initially brushes it off as a coincidence, but he gradually comes to the conclusion that the events noted on his phone will truly occur soon. After using this new resource all day, Yukiteru discovers that his classmate Yuno Gasai also has a diary of a similar design.
This is followed by Deus Ex Machina saying that they and 10 other contestants have been dragged into a survival game whose winner will become the deity's successor. Thrown into the bloody playing field, the two main characters cooperate to fend off a strange pursuer and return to their homes. Now with no choice but to utilize their smartphones, dubbed the "Future Diaries," they must survive this brutal battle royale.
The Future Diary narrative is fundamentally a romance but is much more than that. It investigates how one's choices and willpower may influence the future and how horrific situations can force nice people to lose their minds or do awful things. Even when there isn't much action happening, you find yourself on the edge of your seat since you know that an opponent might appear at any moment due to the quick but natural pacing of the story.
I felt various emotions throughout the anime, including fear, joy, exhilaration, and melancholy. The shock factor was irrational. Every time I watch an episode, I learn something new and surprising, whether a narrative surprise or a character reveal. And each time, the storyline twists that occurred happily surprised me.
I was glued to Future Diary for two days straight. After a long day at the office, I looked forward to relaxing with an episode of my favorite anime. I've never been so tense while watching an anime, but The Future Diary did it every time. Although the action scenes are competently done, and the art is passable, "Guilty Crown," which" aired four days after Mirai Nikki, has more action.
The Future Diary's character growth is flawless. Without a doubt, Gasai Yuno is the ideal yandere, maintaining the demure appearance of a middle-school girl. Amano Yukiteru is presented as a shy and weak-willed youngster, and his voice actress perfectly captures this aspect of his character.
For an anime, the characters are wonderful and awesome. Each of the main characters had a unique personality that was different from the average person's. I have never witnessed a cast that was so insane and wild. The only one that seems the most normal is the main character, Yukiteru, yet even he is withdrawn due to his worries and complexes. As each character's motivations are disclosed, the deranged lunacy of each one pulls the plot along.
Fantastic and wonderfully suited to the anime are the opening and closing tunes. My favorite of the opening themes is the first one, since it perfectly captures the show's spirit. The music generally fits the situations it is played over well, especially when Yuno pulls off an astounding feat.
Two opening and two ending themes comprise the four pieces of theme music used in the show. "Kūsō Mesology" (Kūsō Mesorogii, "Fantasy Mesology") by Yōsei Teikoku serves as the opening theme for the first 14 episodes, while "Blood Teller" by Faylan serves as the closing theme. Beginning with episode 15, the opening and closing themes are "Dead End" by Faylan and "Filament" by Yōseii Teikoku, respectively. “The Creator” by Yōsei Teikoku serves as the main theme for the pilot.
The characters in The Future Diary are wonderful, and the premise is brilliant. Yuno, in particular, is one of the most original characters I've ever seen in an anime. The Future Diary is undoubtedly worth a try. Extremely recommended; in fact, you cannot miss this masterpiece!
