Mirai Nikki – 08
「新機種」 (Shin Kishu)
“New Model”
For Amano Yukiteru, it’s a mixed-up, muddled-up, shook-up world, except for Yuno. Well – mostly because of Yuno.

「留守応答」 (Rusu Ōtō)
“Away Message”
It’s another triumph for gritty, hard-headed realism in episode 7 of Mirai Nikki.
「マナーモード」 (Manā Mōdo)
“Vibrate Mode”
I can think of very few fictional characters that exemplify the old adage “double-edged sword” better than Yuno Gasai.
「ボイスメモ」 (Boisu Memo)
“Voice Memo”
It was a big episode for Yukkii. He’s finally come to realize that Yuno is the perfect girl, except for that one nagging flaw – she’s a stalker and her house is full of bodies. I feel you, Little Brother – haven’t we all been there?
「手書き入力」 (Tegaki Nyūryoku)
“Handwritten Input”
Purely in terms of development this was certainly the most important episode of Mirai Nikki yet. It was also the first time I felt the anime’s version of events lacked a little bit of the punch the manga packed.
「初期不良」 (Shoki Furyō)
“Early Predicament”
This was an another solid episode of Mirai Nikki with a lot to like, but only one moment stands out among all the rest for me – “You’re still hiding something from me, aren’t you?”
「契約条件」 (Keiyaku Jouken)
“Contract Conditions”
You may have figured this out already, but Mirai Nikki probably isn’t the best choice if you’re looking for something to restore your faith in humanity.
「サインアップ」 (Sain Appu)
“Sign Up”
Whatever else happens, let me make it perfectly clear that I’m not impartial when it comes to Mirai Nikki. The manga is one of the scariest, funniest, juiciest and more ruthless you’ll find in mainstream manga and I absolutely love it. So with that said, Asread has a pretty tough job on their hands to meet expectations.
