    A truly dark and bizarre story

    I included the anime opener above!

    • "Future Diary" is a 26-episode anime series by an animation studio called Asread that is also responsible for "Arifureta: From Commonplace to Strongest".

    • "Future Diary" is about a Japanese boy who discovers he's been chosen for a battle royale to replace God, in which candidates are armed with diaries that tell the future.

    • While I found this series entertaining due to its degree of strangeness, I must warn that while it has a rather whimsical start it quickly becomes increasingly darker and darker of a story without ever really hitting the brakes.

    • Most anime are more violent and suggestive than western cartoons but "Future Diary" is definitely one of those series that I personally think you should be at least 18 or older to watch.

    • I usually judge anime on these criteria: animation, story, characters, voice acting, opener/closer, music, and its balance or imbalance of drama versus comedy.

    • The animation is pretty good in "Future Diary" but not outstandingly stylish or super-detailed.

    • My last two anime reviews were focused more on either animatino or music but "Future Diary" is definitely a series where I think it excelled in story. It takes a seemingly mundane character, nudges him into a slightly spectacular situation and then increasingly upticks the level of danger. I couldn't stop thinking about the series for a few days after finishing it. Just a truly strange story.

    • "Future Diary" has some outlandish characters and I was definitely intrigued by their backstories and their late conflict and developments as the story went on. My favorite character was Minene Uryū who is a atheist terrorist woman who lost her parents during a vacation to the Middle East when they caught in the cross-fire between what appeared to be a battle between Israelis and Palestinians.

    • I've only watched the English dub version on Hulu but I plan on watching the Japanese sub version on a different site because of how much better the picture quality is, compared to Hulu. The English voice acting was fine but as always I expect the Japanese voice acting might be a little better.

    • I find it funny how tame and basic the opener is compared to the actual series, and while the music is great I think the opener doesn't really hint at what the show is about or how good it really is.

    • Music is okay. I think there is music that is good because it stands on its own very well but there is also music that is great because it is paired with intense scenes where it can feel very fitting for the audience.

    • There's a little bit of comedy in the series, mostly of the dark sort though. When it comes to drama I can't explain enough how crazy or strange things get but that's because I don't want to spoil it.

    • While the show's animations are in now way ugly or sub-par and the music is okay too, I think where "Future Diary" excels is in its combination of weird characters in weirder situations. While I don't think this series is for everyone due to how bizarrre and graphic it can get, I'm giving it an 8 out of 10 because of how wild and memorable it was.
