「混線」 (Konsen)
“Crossed Lines”
There are an awful lot of revelations in this episode, some more obvious than others, but I suspect it will mostly be remembered as the one where Yuki finally “manned up”. I doubt that will satisfy the legions of haters out there, but at least the specifics of the complaints might change a little.

「家族割り」 (Kazoku Wari)
“Family Discount”
Sometimes in an anime, a character will say something that’s been obvious to the viewer all along, but never muttered aloud on screen. The interesting part comes in seeing how the characters react to it.

「修理」 (Shūri)
“Repairing”
“Nothing good comes from digging up the past.”

「ダブルホルダー」 (Daburu Horudaa)
“Double Holder”
With three chapters to cover and a new OP and ED to highlight, it’s no wonder the omake was skipped this week.

「非通知設定」 (Deleted Memory)
“Memory Reset”
To say that Yuno’s relationship with her “Yukkii” took a new turn would be quite an understatement, and I don’t mean her helping him to pee-pee.

「非通知設定」 (Hitsūchi Settei)
“Restricted Call”
There now, Asread – you didn’t need luminescent pink eyes to show that Yuno was batcrap insane this week, did you?

「受信圏外」 (Jushin Kengai)
“Reception Outside Range”
“Thanks for the investigation diary. I’m sure it’ll help me beat the shit out of someone.”

「サービス終了」 (Sābisu Shūryō)
“Service Termination”
This episode of Mirai Nikki was a bit of a roller-coaster, quality-wise, but it was so exhilaratingly paced that I can overlook some of the deficiencies in deference to the sheer entertainment value.

「家族プラン」 (Kazoku Puran)
“Family Plan”
This episode is proof for me that a director doesn’t have to make a word-for-word adaptation of a manga for it to be a good adaptation – or a faithful one. Manga is not anime, and the same structures that work well with one don’t always work with the other.

「着信拒否」 (Chakushin Kyohi)
“Blocked Call”
Tons of interesting stuff this week, but first things first – who would have thought it was actually the good Yuno we’ve been watching until this week?
