Anime 8460 Mirai Nikki Reviews Filter Check 2

I'm going to say what everyone already knows. This looked like an animation and concept test. Much like how marvel studios leaked a concept animation for Deadpool.

So when I watched this particular OVA I was doing it to clean up loose ends with the series. (Like I do with all series).

Watching it right off the back I could tell it was a trailer or a concept test footage.

However if you are wanting to get into the series I would suggest watching this first, (there are spoilers, but they are very mediocre and don't really ruin anything).

It was also a reminder about ... how much I love Yuno Gasai as a character.

I am giving it a lower score because of the fact that it is a concept trailer, and doesn't seem to flow correctly

If your looking for a good troll of a OVA, go ahead and watch. If your looking for a trailer for Mirai Nikki a.k.a. Future Diary before it airs in the fall, go ahead and watch. If you expect content and such, then don't bother. The only reason that i even scored it a 5 is because it got me exited about the fact that it was obvious that it would be made into a tv show. Other then that it was a waste even calling it a OVA. To those who haven't caught on yet, its nothing more then some clips of what ... is obviously going to be a tv show. I can't wait till i see the real show but the fact that everyone even gives this a tittle of OVA is just pathetic. I was expecting something like a short from Mirai Nikki: Mosaic since it would make for a good OVA short to kick off the TV version. It didn't even have to be where it started off from for all i cared. In fact i would have even prefer seeing the start where the third and gets his phone since he is the only one we don't really know much about except that he is a mad man.

In summery don't bother watching it because this "OVA" is basically a redundant trailer for the real thing. Watch the real TV show not this because the real series is good for all its worth.A good OVA would be the Mirai Nikki: Mosaic or even Pandora for that matter.

When I went into this I was hoping to get more story and/or something extra to add on to the series but instead its just like a basic trailer or a summery of what happened the first few episodes kinda disappointing
although the animation characters and sound had decent a quality like in the original the fact that it didn't add anything to the story made me give it a 6 out of 10
I hope that mire nikki will soon get another ova series or even a new season so they can add on to what happened at the end

This is my first review.

Mirai Nikki OVA is essentially a preview/condensed version of the first episodes of the TV series. In short it was suppose to serve as the introduction to one of the best series of last year.

I say suppose to as it did not do a good job.

What it managed to do in eight minutes was introduce the protagonist Amano Yukiteru, the basis of the story and give us a peek of what was to come.

Normally that would be fine but it lacked what made Mirai Nikki such a big hit. Killing, blood, mystery and the Queen of Yanderes, Yuno.

Yes, as intricate ... and interesting as the story goes it is incomplete without Yuno. With little about her in this OVA, viewers are either misled, unconvinced or oblivious to Yuno's murderous and insane antics.

It's just not right to start the series believing Yuno as "normal".

Now the OVA did show off the stellar animation and the perfect backdrop of music but being as condensed as it is, it's hard to follow and even confusing.

If you really want a taste of Mirai Nikki just watch the first episode of the series. However if you're like me up at four in the morning with nothing better to do but to watch the OVA of a series you've already seen and loved, then by all means watch this OVA.

In short, if you have already seen Future Diary, you do not need to watch this. However, if you haven't seen it, this is something you may want to watch.

This was a trailer of manga scenes released before the series, so if you’re not sure whether you would want to watch future diary, this would be a good fit for you. It covers basic plot points for the story and and the death game, as well as some key character traits for both Yuki and Yuno.

Some of the art is strange, and since I watched it after already being familiar with the anime, I ... was a little thrown off by some bits because it was a little different than what I was used to, but it’s a good lead it. It summarizes pretty much everything in the first episode too.

There was nothing special about the sound, though some of the voices didn't seem to quite fit and felt very odd for the characters. The background music also felt a little unfitting at times to me.

Most of the characters were pretty true to themselves, so it wasn't bad.

All in all, it's a good trailer, and if you don't know if you want to watch this series, I would definitely recommend trying this out.

I would recommend this if you: like violent/ kinda sexual anime, like death games, like yandere chicks, like twisted romances, like crazy characters

I would NOT recommend if you: can't can't stomach violence/rape/sex, don't like unconventional characters, don't like fights to the death, like regular/real romances

Have a great day everyone!
