Interesting concept, Poor Execution
7 October 2016
The concept alone for Mirai Nikki was actually very interesting, but the execution of that concept was a total waste on this anime.

1) Most of the characters you're suppose to get invested in are not only unlikable, but most of their actions aren't even the least bit realistic. Yuki is one of the most poorly-written characters I have seen in any anime, being nothing more than a loser, sack of sh*t crybaby that has no depth whatsoever. The same can be said about Yuno, who also lacks depth and her motives are often never explained.

2)The story itself is riddled with plot holes and contains plenty of inconsistencies. Most actions made by the characters were so contrived, it was laughable. Even the anime itself doesn't take anything seriously when one of the characters looks like a stuffed strawberry shortcake doll or when a woman farts out rockets and a motorcycles comes out from in between her legs.

3)The fact that this anime tries to use rape as a plot device not only once, but twice, is simply mind-boggling. It just shows how tasteless the writing can be.

4)The animation was passable, though the use of CG for one of the characters is just laughably terrible.

So much wasted potential is what this anime is.
