Future Diary

Mirai nikki (2011) 

Quite a lot has been written about the character Yukiteru "Yuki" Amano being the worst action hero ever, so I am not going to go into that here. Speaking for myself, I have to say that Future Diary was one of the first anime series I watched after a break back in the day. Even though it had a lot of shortcomings, I remember it fondly, especially the character Yuno which I thought is for me the perfection itself. Yuno is perhaps more adorable than most other anime characters, devoted, kind, and sweet, and at the same time, scarier than Kenpachi Zaraki and Hisoka Morow combined. Watching Yuno was immensely appealing and I thought her very agreeable. If I ever got into some serious trouble where my life was on the line, I would be sure about which teammate I would choose and would probably have to call myself "Yuki". I thought Minene was just the perfect girl, and her moments with Masumi Nishijima took my romantic soul by storm. I think this show has it all; characters that move you, an original yet straightforward and understandable narrative, lots of action, entertaining scenes, a nice soundtrack, and decent animation. Sure it has its weaknesses, and I have read about them, although I am judging this subjectively, and I thought this show was just awesome. 9.5/10. (07/06/2015)
