    Mirai Nikki


    Middle school 2nd year, Amano Yukiteru, is a boy who has problem making friends. He thinks of himself as a bystander and will always write down everything he sees in a cell phone diary.

    Tormented by solitude, Yukiteru began to imagine things like a friend called Deus Ex Machina who is apparently the Lord of Time & Space. Seeing Yukiteru's miserable state, Deus gives him a new ability. His diary will now record events that will happen in the near future. Yukiteru is then forced to participate in a game which the winner will become Deus's successor.

    I'm confused with the distinction between [GotWoot] and [GotSpeed]. According to the website, GS is 8-bit only whereas GW is both 8-bit and 10-bit. Maybe I'm just not tech savvy anymore, but if GW is doing 8-bit as well, why have GS as 8-bit? Or is GS supposed to be what it sounds like, a speedsub, then have GW produce the quality releases?

    If that is the difference, then I think I'll wait for the GW version.

    The stalker girl kicked ass. I might have dropped the show without her creepy love. The main character dude was annoyingly much in denial, though. I hope he'll grow balls fast or this show will break plot device records.

    Yes. GotSpeed was basically released without QC.

    Did you mistranslate the 4ths line or is the anime going in a different direction on that part? Also, why did the karaoke in the ED theme rape my CPU? :/

    That greatly surpassed my expectations, especially after that piece of shit OVA from a while back by the same animation studio. I still think the VAs are sort of crap but you got to break into the business somehow, maybe these will be their breakthrough roles!

    Will watch, get some QC up on that bitch so i can archive it.

    Traitor!

    Though actually, it doesn't seem like another group has released anything yet. I checked on Nyaa. I'm still just waiting on the GW version, since I prefer not to watch a speedsub without QC =/.

    So, question!

    Is this anime good? yeah, lol, what a question. I have heard the title of it many times, but never read the manga. From the description, it sounds rather interesting, but it could be something completely different than what I´m imagining right now. So, is it a high-quality series with Death Note-like real-world drama, supported by a single fantasy-device (the diary), or is it more of a full-fledged full on fantasy-anime with all kinds of crazy monsters and happenings?

    In short, is Mirai Nikki rather like Death Note, or is it rather like Toaru Majutsu no Index?

    For all practical purposes the fantasy in this show are those phones and the game they are connected to. Otherwise the fantasy equals to dreams or imagination that doesn't affect the bulk of the show. At least if the first ep was of any indication. So, yeah, I suppose this is closer to Death Note. Although less world-weary and overdramatized, plus the main character needs some shounen development to get up to the task. If you saw Eden of the East, this story reminds more of it, only with the phones operated by a supernatural entity, not quantum computers.

    Yuno is one of my favorite characters of all time but her presentation in the first ep felt more over the top than my impressions from the manga. It will be interesting to see how things play out with her presentation over the course of the show.

    Okay, so I watched episode 1. I like. It´s not yet as interesting as Chaos:Head was, because of the rather bland main character here, who hopefully develops into something, well, more interesting. Don´t know how I feel about the "survival game"-idea, feels like I´ve seen stuff like this a thousand times already.

    I really loved the stalker girl´s expression in the last scene, however. I guess she really "loves" the hero and will either kill herself to make him win or go for a double ko, dying together with her loved one. We´ll see.

    If you give it another read you'll notice the portrayal was pretty faithful

    I was pleasantly surprised with the first episode. It didn't hesitate to move to the main plot, and even made a decent attempt at explaining it. I don't think this "game" will go on for long though... I get the feeling the main character will find some way to stop the game, or at least prevent as many people as possible from reaching their Dead End.

    Stalker girl's face at the end of the episode screams Yandere (if it wasn't already made apparent from her diary, of course). Should the story move along to the end of the game, I'm hoping she goes for the double kill. The main character doesn't seem very interesting or likeable at the moment. Maybe that will change too, though.

    Far from me to spoil you Al, but you should bookmark that post and read it again when the show is done.

    Gotwoot - 02: 8-Bit and 10-bit

    The 10-bit file is actually larger than the 8-bit file this release, but it seems like it was on purpose.

    Wasn't planning on linking Gotspeed, unless anyone prefers speedsubs over quality.
