Favourite Character(s): Minene Uryuu and Yuno Gasai

Characters: Perhaps one of the most brilliantly thought out series. Each character is given their own device (usually a mobile) for their future diary. These characters have a parallel to their device, and it reflects their personality, career and aims. 

Artwork: The art is extreme. The colours are rich and dynamic. It's in the newish style of anime that I've come to love so much. Super smooth animation styles used. 

Plot: Well....This anime tells a pure and heartfelt story. It contains hilarious moments, moments that will make you go "D'awwwn", gory battles, tearjerkers, and those ones that make you go "WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED?!?!?!" It is very consistent with the main goal of the anime. Fillers aren't really the Mirai Nikki style, you'll find something amazing happening in every episode. 

OP and ED: Alright, well the first OP is seriously creepy. If that doesn't turn you away then nothing will. Once you start this, you'll be unable to quit. It's that good.  The first ED is alright, much more interesting to watch than listen to. 

With the second part, the ED is much more worth mentioning than the OP. Tis good listening, yo.

If you want a loop of Yuno for 10 hours, I have you covered. :3
