Summary: This psychological thriller, based on the manga written and illustrated by Sakae Esuno, is about Yuki, a loner who's not very good with people. He prefers to write a diary on his cell phone and talk to his imaginary friend, Deus Ex Machina – The God of Time and Space. However, Yuki soon learns that Deus is more than a figment of his imagination when he makes Yuki participate in a battle royale with eleven others. The contestants are given special diaries that can predict the future, each diary possessing unique features that give it both advantages and disadvantages. Within the next 90 days, the contestants must try to survive until there is only one left standing. The winner will become the new God of Time and Space.
Thoughts: There's a lot going on in this series which is nice, It had very little to no lulls and kept my interest 100% of the time.
It's All Wrapped Up....
Yuno Gasai - Turns out she is another time lines Yuno, In the first timeline she had still stalked Yuki and killed her parents but she won the "Game" not realizing she could not bring Yuki back to life. Stricken by the grief of all she had gone through she time traveled back in time to do it all again... to be with Yuki...
When entering the second timeline she kills her second self, Which is the third body that is found in her house during the current timeline. MurMur has become her familiar and promptly locks away the current timelines MurMur and poses as her with Deus.
Although she knew that people could not be brought back once the game was won, She lead Yuki to believe that it was possible. With this as his motivation she was hoping for Yuki to kill her in the end but it didn't turn out that way.
After Yuki refuses to kill her she pretty much goes all crazy again, Revealing to him what Akise had all ready thought. She had won the game all ready. Third Time Line Time.
Going back to do everything yet again but, This time with Yuki and Ninth following to stop her from killing her Third self. In the end, First Yuno ends up killing herself and Third Line Yuno survives.
Yuki - I had thought he manned up but, This was not entirely the case. After the events with Seventh, his parents and people in general Yuki was determined to become God so that he could rezz those he or others had killed. Of course he didn't think to ask Deus if this was actually possible...
Trodding along all manlike, Akise was the one who thought to ask Deus about the possibility of rezzing those who died. The answer was negative. Even though all of Yuki's friends were telling him that it was not possible... Hinata, Mao, Kise and even Kousaka... He killed them. Believing Yuno who was lying from the start.
I did like how Yuki finally warmed up to Yuno, Even though she was an uber psycho that drugged and locked him up and...oh lets just forget all that. After saving the third Time lines Yuno, With the First Timeline Yuno killing herself he becomes the Second time lines God.
God of Nothing, He and his MurMur sit in Darkness.
Ninth - She didn't really die! In terms of the game she died but, Just as she was about to be blown up Deus yanked her out of the timeline. He knew of the fake MurMur and bestowed on Ninth half of his remaining power, She shows up near the end and "saves" Yuki from the 1st Yuno and MurMur and is also the one who brings them back in time to save the 3rd Yuno.
While in the third timeline she calls Fourth and tells him about his son being sick so that the doctors can catch it in time, She fights fairly evenly with 1st MurMur and meets up with the third lines Nishijima. Happy End for Ninth!!
Aru Akise - Yuki's friend and schoolmate. I almost didn't mention this guy really, It's an odd one... At first he was mistaken for a Diary holder but that was not the case. Then it turns out he's a plant from Deus to observe everything for him and he nearly was taken back {killed}, Deus said if he could tell him one thing that he did on his own that he'd be saved... That one thing was the fact he claimed a future diary or something like that.
He is certainly the "smart" one out of the group {Besides Yuno}, He's the one who figured out Yuno had all ready won the game and was manipulating Yuki. In the end none of this helps him though, He dies.
He also likes to flirt with Yuki, Which pissing Yuno off.
The End: It was pretty good, Certainly if I pretend like I didn't see the after credit message. The first timeline is apparently "gone" with Yunos death, The second is gone because Yuki went back to being a pathetic excuse for a male and the third is where all the happy is.
With the Yuno/Yuki/Ninth disruption in the Third Timeline it throws everyone's future off. For the better.
Changes.
2nd Ninth - Stays in the third timeline and has babies with third Nishijima, While her third self is still doing what she does best.
Fourth - His son was saved.
Third & Twelfth - Twelfth captures Third and is seen visiting him in prison. Without the eyeball on his head.
Seventh - Ai is pregnant, Seen at a cafe with Marco.
Fifth - At park with his parents who never died.
Sixth - Her parents never died and apparently the "Cult" never went evil.
Elventh & Eighth - Are Dating!
Tenth - His daughter {Hinata} is taking interest in his dogs and he is taking interest in her.
Second - Yuno Third World, Her parents have gotten help and by the looks of it don't treat her like they did in the other timelines. She's not stalking Yuki but seems to think something is missing.
First - Yuki, His parents are still together and he's apparently dating the girl he liked in the other timeline.
All is Happy.
At the very end, 2nd Yuki's phone changes... Instead Yuno has Died it says Yuno came to see me. I really would like to just forget about that and say he's just brooding alone in the darkness till he sucks it up.
Favorite Character{s}:
Eighth - Her character design is just so cool. I have no idea how anyone could kill the plump little orphan loving woman.
Seventh - Both of them, Perfect couple and at least Ai's back story is just so sad. They deserved a happy end more then most.
Least Favorite Character{s}: Yuki; He had his moments but I just cannot stand him.
Favorite Episode{s}: Episode 5 - Twelfths power ranger thing was just... X_x
Episode 6 - Yuno meets Yuki's mother.
Least Favorite Episode{s}: None, They all held my attention and were quite entertaining.
