DVD Review: Mirai Nikki: Future Diary – Part 1

After several delays and an upgrade to Blu-ray the first instalment to Mirai Nikki: Future Diary, otherwise known as The Future Diary, has finally arrived in the UK; but was it worth the wait? and more importantly how does this latest KAZE release fair? Find out in our DVD Review.

Synopsis:

Reality quickly unravels for antisocial Yukiteru when Deus Ex Machina calls him into a death match to determine the new god of space and time. Each mentally scarred player possesses a prophetic device tuned to his or her personality disorder, giving them control over their future… and the fate of their opponents. It’s their strongest weapon – and their greatest weakness.

Within hours of abusing his digital diary’s predictions, Yukiteru is cornered by a crazed classmate. Yuno – who is obsessively stalking him with her own psychic cell phone – is cute, sharp, and great with an ax. Still, her psychosis hides a vile secret. As a serial killer, a cult priestess, and a volatile escape artist take a stab at eliminating the teens, Yuki can cheat death under Yuno’s maniacal protection or – DEAD END.
