Summary:

Yuki is a disaffected middle school boy who has no dreams or goals in life; in fact, the only thing he has is his diary. Writing down everything he observes and documenting every thought, the young boy uses it as an outlet for his imagination. One morning, however, Yuki wakes up to find his cell phone filled with diary entries for the next ninety days. Thinking nothing of it, he continues his morning until he begins to realize that everything on his phone is rapidly coming to pass, and it isn't just mere coincidence. Now, Yuki suddenly finds himself thrust into a survival game against other future diary owners to become the new Lord of Time.

This is a must see! Maybe the best high stakes game type anime I've ever seen. I got my sister watching it and by episode five we were both reading the manga because we couldn't wait week to week for the next episodes to come out. Plus my sister has this thing about trying to spoiler every anime I get her to watch.

The story is crazy, just has so many twists and turns. This anime will also introduce you to the Queen of Yandere, Yuno Gasai. She has been dubbed the queen not only because she has both the possessive and obsessive traits of a Yandere, but Yuno also takes it on a level no other character has ever done before. Yuno is willing do anything to make Yukiteru stay with her, and is very good at everything short of not freaking him out. This is why her body count is higher than the rest of the cast combined. And she's one of the main characters. Indeed, Yuno is the rare heroic example of this trope, given how completely screwed up and outright evil the rest of the main cast are.

I found Yuki to be kind of pathetic, but its understandable. Being tossed into a game where its kill or be killed, having crazy Yuno around all the time, and he was an introverted person anyway. Most of the time he was just hiding behind Yuno's back letting her do all the work. At one time another character even pointed it out.

The side picture is of Reisuke Houjou and I choose this video because I thought is was funny. But also because it give a picture of what the show it like with out a ton of spoilers.

I give this a 4.5 out of 5.
