DEAD END
Everyone's favorite yandere filled manga has finally got its own anime!
The fuck is a yandere?
You know how some girls are really clingy? Well these girls (and sometimes guys) are REALLY clingy. One minute they're all over you and the next they're trying to kill anyone that gets close to you.
Cool. So what's this shit about?
Stuff.
Yukiteru "Yuki" Amano is a loner who never really interacts with people and prefers writing a diary on his cell phone with his only companion being an imaginary friend named Deus Ex Machina, the God of Time and Space. However, Yuki soon learns that Deus is real when he makes him a participant in a battle royale with eleven other people. Within this "Diary Game", the contestants are given special diaries that can predict the future, with each diary having unique features that gives them both advantages and disadvantages. Within the next 90 days, the contestants must try to kill each other and survive until there is only one person standing, the winner becoming the new God of Time and Space. In order to survive, Yuki tries to find allies, with one of them being another diary user named Yuno Gasai, a girl who is madly in love with him.
So why should I watch it?
Because it's a nonstop train ride of insanity! There's a ridiculous amount of tension, crazy characters, badassery, ridiculous scenarios, etc. Any fans of high-energy drama like
Death Note owe it to themselves to check this out.
K, so who are these crazy people?
Yukiteru Amano
The main male protagonist of the series and the First Diary user. Also known as Yuki, he is a 14 year old middle schooler who is a rather quiet boy with an anti-social behavior who doesn't talk much. 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 that Deus, a god-like being whom he thought was an imaginary friend turns out to be real, selects him as one of twelve contestants in a 90 day battle royale where they must kill each other using their special diaries where the last survivor becomes Deus' new heir. Yuki's diary is called the Random Diary, which written from his point of view, gives a detail explanation of his surroundings very accurately whether it be the present or the future.
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 to the point she won't hesitant to sacrifice them because to her, what's only important is that she and Yuki survive the game. Her diary is the Yukiteru Diary, a diary which gives her details whatever Yuki is doing in the present every 10 minutes. Because it only focuses on Yuki, her diary doesn't details anything about her unless it has to do with Yuki.
Minene Uryu
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. Minene's diary is the Escape Diary, 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.
Where to watch?
Niconico will stream it eventually.
How long is it?
It is a 2 cour show, meaning it will last 26 episodes. Since the manga is 59 chapters, it is quite likely everything will be covered if not a bit rushed in certain areas.
Now pick up your cellphones and try not to die!
I'm careful with spoilers, cause that's a big one. The climax chapters were amazing, although the ending was ruined in the last few pages with fan pandering, IMO.
