Everything Yuno does makes perfect sense to her. She’s the gold standard, the real deal – and what really makes Yuno great is that she’s totally sincere. You may think you know yanderes, but typical yanderes are to Yuno are what dirty magazines are to real live supermodels. All you need to know about Yuno (for now) you see in the scene where she runs through the school setting off bombs after seeing Yuki betrayed. If Asread are playing up her horny side a bit I’ll forgive it, because it’s so much fun to watch. If you think about it, this is a perfect match – a guy with absolutely no self-esteem and a stalker who adores him utterly. She’s a girl, she’s a noun and a verb, she’s a trope. “Protect me.” Two simple words, but a watershed moment in the series, and ones not everyone would have had the smarts (and cojones) to say.Īh, Yuno. You see something of Yukiteru’s survival instinct and cleverness creep in here, as he makes a conscious (and very wise) decision that allying with the insane Yuno Gasai is better than going it alone. And the only person he can turn to for help is just as scary – though also hot, which can’t be discounted in the 14 year-old mind – his very own stalker. I can’t talk about later events, of course, but it’s important to understand who Yuki is and the fact that the kid you see now isn’t necessarily the one you’ll see later – this is the boy who just found out he’s in a game where losing means death, and lots of scary people want to see him die. What I especially love is the way the anime captures the trapped feeling Yukiteru has at the moment, when all this is new to him. Asread may not be a top-tier studio, but what’s clear to me after two episodes is that they know what they have here – they understand the material. The OP and ED match the manic tone of the show quite well, especially the OP. But it has a certain amount of style to it, capturing the look of Sakae-sensei’s drawings while adding a little theatrical flourish. It’s not an adaptation that throws a ton of polish and ostentatiousness at the subject – the voice acting is heartfelt but raw, and the animation is hardly cutting-edge.
I’m impressed that Asread have managed to capture the paranoid, exhilaratingly out-of-control feeling from the source material. It has to punch you in the face to be really work.Īnd effective it is, at lest so far for this manga reader. I think exploding middle-schoolers (and French-kissing middle schoolers) are a pretty good indication that the manga is going to be adapted pretty much as is content-wise, which is a good thing because any attempt to sanitize Mirai Nikki would effectively kill it. You may have also figured out that there are no sacred cows in this story either, and I’m glad it’s so obvious – this alleviates some concern on my part that Asread would soften the material for TV. OP: 「空想メソロギヰ」 ( Kuusou Mesorogiwi) by 妖精帝國 (Yousei Teikoku)
You may have figured this out already, but Mirai Nikki probably isn’t the best choice if you’re looking for something to restore your faith in humanity.
