Mirai Nikki

[Xelbair]

I thought her name was Muru Muru, not Murmur.

Of course it is Murmur - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murmur_%28demon%29 - if you write his name in katakana you get murumuru... scanlator/translator didn't knew that and just put <urumuru in manga.

Geez Sapphi, lol.



edit: Yuno came out of the shock.. much more unharmed than what I expected. Then again, I'm no expert on electric shock lethality.

9th coming to rescue Yuki's the biggest headscratcher by far. She wants to kill him, now she feels sympathy? Wtf?

Thought 4th wanted to capture the 9th.. so he only really wants to capture her heart now?

It also irked me that Yuno knew who the 5th was, yet her cautious self was letting him bath with her and all? Come one.. what happened to bringing tools with you to the battlefield, then feeling "relieved" that they were "nicer than you thought"?

Am I just disappointed because my balls didn't shrink an inch from seeing Psycho-Yuno lvl up this week?

edit2: Question about the translation - when 5th said he doesn't really need such a right (to kill Yuno), he finished with "betsuni iranai". How does that double negative turn out into what you guys had "don't really need"?

I think that Yuno noticed that he was 5th after the bath. Part with the salad was just her general paranoia.

The one big thing that has made the latest couple of episode feel off-track is that they never went back to the whole Continuality-changing - that Yuki opened that door with dead bodies. There hasn't been any real significance shown besides him running from Yuno that time.. and that's it.

Something like that wouldn't even shock you IRL. *shrug*

EDIT> Just realized something: All the diary owners shown thus far, with the exception of #4, has some sort of depressing backstory that made them start keeping the diaries in the first place. More notably, they all revolve around the motif of loneliness.

1st: Yukiteru keeps his diary because he is lonely and has no friends.
2nd: Yuno stalks Yukiteru and keeps a diary because she wants to be together with him, for she is lonely otherwise.
5th: Reisuke keeps his diary because his parents never pay attention to him.
6th: Tsubaki keeps her diary because she can't see the world, and her followers have exploited that and used her as a "sin outlet".
9th: Minene keeps her diary because her parents died during war.
12th: I suppose blindness can be depressing? Not enough about Yomutsu's past is revealed. He also seems to be someone who acts alone, however.

What is the significance of this?

Gotwoot - Episode 07 10-bit

I always feel like I'm late to the party since I wait for the quality release >_>

Edit: Yuno panty-shot ftw! Wasn't expecting yellow...

Also wasn't expecting the death of a child. I mean, the cause was understandably blurred out, but I was surprised that that was it.

curse you manga for making me want to spoil....
But in all seriousness, it's probably like you said, they all wanted to get all away,and I'm guessing that they started getting delusional (maybe) and started to imagine Deus Ex Machina. Then... well you know the rest.

[Alhuin]

@hollow: Maybe it's just me, but the fact that you say what you do in your first sentence makes it feel like the rest of it is actually spoiling... >_>.

I've always felt the best practice to be that if you read the manga, don't mention it directly before stating a theory. Otherwise you risk experiencing what I just commented about.

[shinta|hikari]

I agree. Once knowledge that you are a manga reader has come to light, anything you say about speculations and story/character development can be considered a spoiler by some of those who have not read the source material, whether it is actually a spoiler or not.

People will infer and deduce things based on the premise that you know what is going to happen, and whether or not that will lead to actually spoiling is unimportant. It's better to simply avoid doing stuff like that altogether.

[Aristocrat]

Ep 8 was much better than Ep 7. I hope the manga develops the characters in much more depth than the anime, since I plan on reading it after Mirai Nikki finishes airing.

Also, I'm fairly sure Akise is not a diary owner, since he isn't in the commune of the diary owners summoned by Deus, and doesn't show up in the credits as an owner (look for 秋瀬 或; not part of the lineup of diary owners).

Gotspeed - Episode 08

------------------------------










Hmm, well I thought that the photography girl was going to be a diary owner (as well as the heavily hinted Akise). Didn't expect the tanned girl until they showed the photogragh.. but I guess that doesn't exactly conflict with any previous statements.

What I absolutely, absolutely HATE about Yuki is that he treats Yuno as his only (deserving) friend in dire situations, but then backseats her to the overcautious, paranoid tag-along role when the going's good. It's just totally not fair.

Trust nobody

[Xelbair]

Yuki is dumb as fuck, he should just lie about the cellphone. Tell that he had the layout of the area on his phone or something.

[shinta|hikari]

Knowing the layout of the place does not enable you to predict which window the dogs are going to crash into. Even the bully knew he was foreseeing things after the first few commands.

Hmm, well I thought that the photography girl was going to be a diary owner (as well as the heavily hinted Akise).

I thought of that too, until I realized that neither of them match the silhouettes of diary owners we got before (not to mention the credits of ep1 giving us the names of every diary owner). As far as I can tell, Tsukishima gave his diary to his daughter to use; his daughter can abuse the diary as much as she wants and not risk death upon destruction of the diary, since she is not the owner. A clever plan, especially since it looks like he isn't free to move about due to having to take care of his dogs.

Yukiteru is such a fool; sigh. I'm guessing he won't fall for Yuno until he gets betrayed by every other girl he comes into contact with.

Sorry if i'm offtopic, but can anyone tell me what's the font used in OP karaoke?

[Archangel]

Yay, Kaworu is finally here! My favorite character in the whole series.

How the hell can a main character be that stupid and miserable? He even keeps repeating the same goddam mistakes, so he's not only as stupid as a rubber boot, but also has the memory of one. If it wasn't for Yuno, I'd have dropped this show without a second thought a long time ago.

What comes to explaining the situation to the others, he's so strange as a person that if he had told them he can only think rationally when fiddling with the phone, nobody would have suspected a thing. Or at least people that didn't already know of the diaries. Like an autistic person. Only a plot armour can save an idiot of that calibre. Or Yuno.

Think of Kawaru or Yuno as the main characters, you'll live longer.

[Alhuin]

I don't really know what to say about this episode. You have the continuing trend of new characters showing up that are the opposite of what they seem, Yuki being afraid of/distant to Yuno, Yuno wanting to kill everyone, and everyone getting into trouble where Yuki is a useless piece of shit. I don't even consider his use of the diary to "save" everyone a heroic feat. Different, yes, because he actually did something. But I'm contributing that more to his desire not to die, instead of the monologue he gave. Oh, and they recycled the "serial killer" this early?

Don't get me wrong, this is probably my favourite (new) series this season. But I'm really getting frustrated with several things.

[Archangel]

I'll remind you good sir that fate/zero is also a series this season.
