In this thread you can speak about Mirai Nikki, a very good anime ( in my opinion ,_, ).

( if you don't know it, you can read scans here or watch the ep's on Dailymotion ).



Plot ( in brief ).



Characters ( don't read this if you haven't seen the hole anime, there's a lot of spoil down there !! é.è )

Yukiteru Amano - kun


The main male protagonist of the series and the First diary user. Also known as Yuki (ユッキー Yukkī?), he is a 14 year old middle school student who is a rather quiet boy and does not talk much, with behavior bordering on un-social. He mostly sees things around him as a bystander and writes it down in his cell phone diary. Yuki becomes involved in the Diary Game when to his shock Deus, a god-like being whom he thought was an imaginary friend, turns out to be real and selects him as one of twelve contestants in a 90 day battle royale where the contestants must kill each other using their special diaries; the last survivor becomes Deus' new heir. Yuki's diary is called the Random Diary (無差別日記 Musabetsu Nikki?), which written from his point of view, gives a detail explanation of his surroundings very accurately, whether it be the present or the future. While versatile in any situation, the main disadvantage of the Random Diary is that the diary does not tell him what is happening to himself, which leaves him vulnerable. Furthermore, since the diary is written from his point of view, Yuki can be tricked into thinking something he sees is true without realizing it, which is a disadvantage for other people who use the Random Diary.



Yuno Gasai
The main female protagonist and the Second diary user. Smart, beautiful, and diligent, to most students she is seen as the model student but in reality, she is secretly obsessed with Yuki and constantly stalks him. Having Yandere-like tendencies, she is so obsessed with Yuki that she is willing to hurt or kill anyone who hurts him and is constantly jealous if anyone other than her is getting close with Yuki. So obsessive was her love that she won't hesitate to sacrifice them because to her, the only important thing is that she and Yuki survive the game. Her obsession and possessiveness of Yuki is so extreme that she has no concern for anyone else's well-being: she frequently states to Yuki that he should not care about what happens to his friends. Her diary is the Yukiteru Diary (雪輝日記 Yukiteru Nikki?), a stalker diary which gives her details of whatever Yuki is doing in the present 10 minutes. Because it only focuses on Yuki, her diary does not specify anything about her unless it has to do with Yuki. But by working together with Yuki's Random Diary, they are able to solve their diaries' weaknesses.Yuno can use guns, knives and other weapons.

Takao Hiyama
The Third Diary user. Takao is a teacher at Yuki's school who is secretly a serial killer who wears a heavy bulletproof trenchcoat with a hat and mask that hides his identity. Takao's diary is the Murder Diary (殺人日記 Satsujin Nikki?) which gives him details on who his next victims are and where and how he kills them. While the diary helps him catch his victims and prevents them from escaping, it does not tell him what to do if his victims will fight back thus he can be easily defeated. He was killed by a dart Yukiteru threw at his diary

Keigo Kurusu


The Fourth Diary user. Keigo is a police captain who was chosen for the Diary Game to balance out the other Diary users who were much worse. Calm, cool and collected, Keigo has no interest in the game and wants to find a way to stop it before more people get hurt and thus becoming Yuki's ally. His diary is the Criminal Investigation Diary, which gives him details of crimes that will happen within the next 90 days, but it cannot predict the future of an investigation done by someone other than himself.

Tsubaki Kusugano


The Sixth Diary user. A frail girl with bad eye-sight, she is the leader of the Omekata cult (御目方教 Omekata Kyō?) where she's serves as the group priestess. The scroll she carries is actually her Future diary called the Clairvoyance Diary which allows her to read what her followers see. However, Tsubaki does not trust what her diary tells her because what her followers see may not be accurate and her fear of traitors from within.

Reisuke Hojo


The Fifth Diary user. Reisuke is a four year old boy who despite looking seemingly harmless, is very intelligent for his age and has a very diabolical mind. He sometimes speaks in third person with his hand puppets whom he talks with. Reisuke's diary is the Hyper Vision Diary, a coloring book that gives a small summary of the activities that he will perform for the day. However, his diary only shows three entries for the day during the morning, noon, and night. Despite that, it has a certain advantage of giving Reisuke all three entries at the same time, which allows him ample time to carefully plot his next move, as well as some pictures drawn by him, giving him some source material other than writing.

Marko Ikusaba and Ai Mikami



Originally assumed to be two separate Diary users, Marco and Ai are in fact both the Seventh Diary user. When first introduced, Marco and Ai were using apprentice diaries which were assumed by Yuki and his allies as their real Future diaries with Marco's The Unbeatable Brawler Diary predicting attacks before they happened, while Ai's Flirting Diary locates any man she wants to flirt in the future. Their real diaries are the Exchange Diaries which report each other's immediate future. The couple displays excellent teamwork as they use their diaries to cover each other's weaknesses.

Kamao Ueshita


The Eighth Diary user. A large, strangely shaped woman, she is in charge of the "Mother's Home" orphanage where Marco, Ai and Orin were raised. Her diary, the Blog Diary, is actually a server that can be accessed by the people she allows in, giving each person their own "Apprentice Diary" that can predict the future in their own various ways. Kamado has no interest in the Diary Game as the only thing she cares about looking after her orphans. Ironically, it is her orphans who want her to win as they love Kamado and will kill anyone who harms her.

Minene Uryuu


The secondary female protagonist, the Ninth Diary user and the protagonist of the side-story manga, Future Diary: Mosaic. An infamous atheist terrorist, Minene is a young woman who has hatred against organized religion particular God. Her hatred of religion stems from her past when she and parents were traveling in a city in the Middle East but got caught in a battle, which is hinted between Israelis and Palestinians, where her parents were killed in the crossfire. Blaming God for her parents death, she leads a crusade of destruction against those associated with God. Minene got involved in the Diary game when after a failed assassination to kill a Catholic Cardinal, she tried to escape but almost fell to her death but was saved by Deus who gave her an offer to save her if she join his game. Minene's diary is the Escape Diary (逃亡日記 Tōbō Nikki?), which will chart out the best course of actions for her to escape whenever she finds herself in a dangerous situation. While it means she can escape anything, it is not perfect as the diary can only tell her how to escape if there are favorably conditions that allow her any chance to escape.

Karyuudo Tsukishima


The Tenth Diary user. A rich man with elegant taste, Karyuudo is a dog breeder who loves and cares about his dogs so much that he neglects his family. His diary is the Breeder's Diary (飼育日記 Shiiku Nikki?), which allows him to control his dogs to attack his enemies using his cell phone by voice command. However, it's the disadvantage is that the more dogs that user control, the greater concentration needed to command all of them which leaves the user vulnerable. He uses his daughter Hinata to attack Aru Akise, believing that he knew that Karyuudo was responsible for the recent savage murders and that Akise was a Diary Holder, though he was mistaken on the latter. He pretends to form a closer kinship with his daughter to agree to this, though he was ultimately revealed to be using her. After his daughter fails to kill Akise, Karyuudo reveals his use of her and tells Hinata not to end up like her father before getting shot to death by Keigo, also revealing that Keigo was his murderer to Hinata and her nearby friends, including Yuki and Yuno.

John Bacchus


The Eleventh Diary user and final one to be introduced. Bacchus is the Mayor of Sakurami City and is mastermind behind the Diary Game as he was the one who convince Deus to create the battle royale that will determine Deus' successor. Bacchus diary is the Watcher Diary ("The Watcher" in the Japanese version) which enables him to read the other diary users entries including the Apprentice Diary users. A believer in Nazi ideology, Bacchus' main goal is to create a race of superior beings with him as their leader. Despite his ideology, he is a gentleman, befriending Kamado and inviting her to help him in his place to give everyone in Sakurami City the power of the Future Diaries.

Yomotsu Hirasaka


The Twelfth Diary user. Blind and insane, he is a vigilante who acts like a super sentai hero including wearing spandex and a large, round one eye mask. While claiming to be fighting for "Justice", his view of justice is very different as to him, justice is the one who wins. His tape recorder called the Justice Diary (正義日記 Seigi Nikki?), has the ability to tell him what evil deeds that will happen in the future which range from normally criminal like plotting murder to the nonsensical like littering. Furthermore, his diary can hypnotize people by giving them illusions
