Anime ChannelApril 23, 2011Mirai Nikki Anime Confirmed, Coming October 20118by YoU 390 days ago Folks who have read the Manga of the series Mirai Nikki (Future Diary, 未来日記) could easily get excited about the Anime adaptation. In fact there was an Anime for the series which was bundled with the limited edition of the 11th volume of the Manga as a “pilot Anime”. And recently it was confirmed by the official that the series is going to be aired in October 2011. It was really a great news to the fans of the series, especially for those who have watched the pilot anime and finally see the TV Anime coming. As for the Manga, there are total 11 volumes 59 chapters, so it could easily be made into an Anime around 24 episodes and please, do not compress it into a one season (13 episodes) series.The plot: Yukiteru always rejected any offers to go with friends and just keeps writing a diary on his cell phone. He has what he believes is an imaginary friend called Deus Ex Machina. However, one day Deus asks him to play a survival game along with eleven others. The winner becomes the next Deus Ex Machina. In order to win, the contestants must use their diaries of the future to eliminate one another. For Yukiteru to survive, he must team up with another diary holder, a girl named Yuno.Each player is assigned a number based on the order that Deus modified his or her diary. The diaries begin to record the future in the same manner their future selves would have written down events, with some even being able to influence the beings whose future they divulge to the owner; the only exception to this rule is when the holder reaches a Dead End, a time when their lives would be finished without significant intervention. Each diary varies in its properties and functions depending on the owner’s personality, occupation and lifestyle and they all have their shortcomings. The diaries can be used without the owner’s consent should they fall into another’s hands. Since the diaries are written from the perspective of the owner’s future self, the future can still be misinterpreted and thus the entries can become inaccurate. In addition to killing someone through normal means, if a diary is destroyed or broken, the owner also dies. (via Wikipedia)Really like the series and can’t wait for the coming October!
