(L) Mirai Nikki (Series)

[Patriot's Blade]

if the next project were a live action, i wonder how they handle the homo kiss & Murmur

[Guardian Enzo]

There's already a live-action (no Yukiteru so presumably no yaoi kiss) so that's certainly not the announcement.

Wait, no Yukiteru? So is it a live action of Mirai Nikki Paradox?

It's not a straight adaptation of anything,it's the same concept,some similar characters and that's it.

You've still got a male protagonist (who isn't a loner and actually has friends but also seems to like observing stars like yuki and who's parents are getting divorced) who has a stalker named Yuno (not nearly as crazy as in the anime but they could be trying to just make her crazier as episodes go by).
The third looked pretty much like he was in the manga.
No murmur,deus looks very different,there's also no sign of becoming a god if you win the game.
The diaries also work differently since they tell the user their future only a short time in advance,they don't have a whole 90 days' notice.

When does this series get release on bluray?

I want to see those uncensored scenes

What's the point in killing it Mirai Nikki, honestly?

Seems like it might've started as a TV adaption with a free hand, and evolved further and further away as the realities of j-drama budgets started to kick in.

Expand the franchise.Market the manga?

The first episode had a 9.9 rating,that's much larger than the anime so it is giving more exposure to the "mirai nikki" name.Might help sell a few more mangas.

I certainly don't begrudge Esuno-san cashing in, as he deserves it. I just don't see much point in Mirai Nikki unless he's writing it, and the live seems to be proving that out.

[Battler-kun]

I've just watched Mirai Nikki to the end after having dropped it for a few weeks.

And reading the few pages here, that Wiki states that there is a true happy ending, i am glad the anime just indicated it but cut it off!

This wouldn't make sense at all, regarding the space-time continuum and its causality.
That's why i already wondered why the Ninth of the 2nd World was in the 3rd World living happily as nothing happened...and his husband even knows it.
And Yuno of the 3rd World just getting all the memory back from the others worlds is an asspull.

The 2nd World is empty then, without a God after having fought so hard? That's not possible.

The Ending reminded me of Rahxephon, where the original main character became god and let go of everything in order to change things so that himself in another dimension and the whole world could be happy again.

Well anyways, the Author has screwed up the Ending...or is it that he screwed up right from the start with his concept, well too bad.

[Guardian Enzo]

You might want to spoiler tag that Rahxephon bit, just as a courtesy.

[Randrak42]

Just noticed...the drama won't have a Yandere (It has an original plot)
Well now I've lost all interest :|

[Lord of Fire]

I refuse to watch any live-action stuff in the first place. Nothing good can come from that, no matter how good the original is.

[Sumeragi]

I don't care how they do it (except live action), but I want my Minene x Masumi ending!

[SRanger]

Anyone notice in the anime series, it would randomly cut moments? The most notable is when 9th and the Detective blow up the computers. After the explosion ,it just kind of assumes they escape, and they end up in the hills..

Yeah, I didn't mention this during the series' run, but the editing was very hit and miss. You could tell some stuff was cut from the manga, scenes were slow when they should have been quick, and all that. But when it flowed well, it flowed very well.

Glad other people noticed. I feel like Mirai Nikki could potentially have become a masterpiece; it did certain things so well, such as the mystery and suspense during the middle chunk of the series. It was really unparallel to any other series I've seen, with maybe the exception of Death Note. However, Mirai Nikki screws up in a lot of places that kind of ruins the series..

The editing was terribad, there are some iffy plot devices due to 'anime reasons' (Yukki's mom basically being okay with him being a criminal and not questioning anything..you might as well just not have a mom character if she's not going to have an impact in this regard), a really bad ending, strange character designs and developments (The mother of the adoption center didn't feel fleshed out, and her design was just an anomaly compared to the rest of the Mirai Nikki cast. WHY THE HUGE HEAD), and just overall lazy execution.

The Mirai Nikki author really seems like he had an awesome idea and just started writing like crazy, and when his story was nearing its end, he had no idea how to finish it off. I mean, the manga ending is even worse than the anime one.

With such a powerful character like Yuno that can potentially become one of Anime's most iconic characters and such a strong suspenseful plot, if things were done properly and with more care, Mirai Nikki could have seriously been one of the all-time greats.

[miketyson]

SRanger: here, here! I agree. Another example of sloppy continuity (think I've pointed it out earlier, too): what happened at the end of the first episode? Yuno invited Yukiteru to go grab a meal...did they go? Did he turn her down and go home alone again? It's just dropped after that. A small thing but it's bugged me since I first read the manga.

[Flawfinder]

@Sranger Honestly, I liked the manga ending. And I don't really care about Eighth's huge head. The whole manga ran on crazy similar to how Gurren Lagann ran on cool, so I could accept that. I liked the characters (I don't care what people say. I'll take loser Yuki over monotone Yuji Sakai anyday) and while Esuno Sakae has this habit of wanting to tell a story and not caring how he tells it, he has a way of just creating this weird logic that you just roll with because at least it's consistent and in no way does he change the rules of his logic at any point in the series.

The only problem I had with the anime was the editing. Yeah, the animation was cheap, but it at least brought the characters to life and accomplished what needed to be done. The editing on the other hand created problems that weren't in the manga. I know it's Asread and all, but come on!

What is this series about? Is it good?
