Synopsis

Yukiteru Amano is a shy middle schooler who regularly keeps track of what he does in his daily life by writing down all of his activities on his phone—a digital diary. Despite having no friends at school, Yukiteru is frequently seen talking to his supposedly imaginary friends Deus Ex Machina, the god of time and space; and Deus' servant, Mur Mur.

One day, Yukiteru wakes up and discovers that certain events of his day are preemptively displayed on his cellphone. While initially dismissing it as a coincidence, he slowly realizes that the incidents written in his phone actually take place in the near future. After spending the day benefiting from this new asset, Yukiteru learns that his classmate Yuno Gasai possesses a similar diary.

As the two team up to defeat an odd pursuer and head back to their respective homes, Deus Ex Machina explains that they—alongside 10 other contestants—have been drawn into a survival game whose victor will become the deity's successor. With no other options, Yukiteru and Yuno must use their cellphones—now called "Future Diaries"—to survive this unforgiving battle royale.

Absolutely Underrated...This hurts me to see how underrated this anime is.
From Romance to Suspense this anime holds everything that a viewer crave for. The plot is amazingly good and the plot twist is so unexpected.Really one of the best physiological pieces out there.
100% Recommended to all physiological freaks.
The characters are well written. Especially Yuno and Yuki...The ending kinda sets the pace off and it's really not what we watchers wanted but still it's acceptable tbh... Not a big bunlder or anything like that.
Really appreciate the Suspense this anime holds and the love angle is really trippy.
Thankyou 😁

So, Mirai Nikki, where do I even start? It's one of those animes that left me more uncomfortable than a plastic chair on a hot day. The characters? Seriously, none of them are cool. Zero charisma. Yuno, that crazy girl over there, I can't even remember her name – I just know she infuriates me. Just hearing her say "Yuki" gives me nightmares.

I finished this roller coaster in a day, all 24 episodes. Worst decision of my life. Tried to sleep afterward, but all I could manage was being disturbed by what I saw. I don't know how an anime can mess with someone's head ...
