I don't usually hate series; if I don't like a series I either just note down what it did wrong or assume it just wasn't for me and move on with my life. But this series... is the first and so far only series I watched that I hate with a passion.

Plot: Yukiteru is a lonely anti social introvert that has a imagery friend Deus ex Machina who turns out to be a real God and gets Yuki involved in a death game against 11 other diary users. What's a diary users? It's somebody with a phone that predicts certain aspect of their future. The ... last one still alive get to replace Deus Ex Machina as God. Overall the plot is quite standard for a death battle anime. The plot itself could have a lot of potential if the anime didn't waste it. So let's get right into the rant... unfortunately I can't speak about the dozens of plot holes and Deus ex Machinas in the series as that would be spoilers but tbis story has more a$$ pulls than most harem protagonists have girls.

The characters: despite being the aspect of the show that gains the most praise I found most characters to be painful to watch. They constantly act out of whenever the plot requires them to. The MC is the definition of wimp, he's characters suffers the most from the inconsistent characterisation because the plot makes him say and do stuff that nobody would ever do. The few interesting characters get barely any screen time. The only saving point of this show is Yuno, the yandere queen that popularised this show to begin with but I personally don't believe that she makes up for every other bad aspect of this show. You are better off watching a compilation of Yuno moments and never watching the show because everything else is bad.

Overall: Mirai Nikki is a inconsistent show with a ridiculous amount of ex machinas and characters acting out of character that make enjoying a few good parts of the show impossible. Watch a Yuno compilation because anything past that isn't worth it.

This anime was the dark horse of the season; when it first was announce nobody expected much from this series but when it finally came out it became an instant favourite of most people, me included.

One of the best aspects of Made In Abyss (MIA) is its world; unlike most fantasies nowadays which are either a game inspired isekai or a Tolkien rip off, MiA manages to create a completely unique world with creative lore, creatures and environments. This series constantly hints about the history of the Abyss (the place where majority of the story takes place) but at the same time gets the ... audience to ask more questions the more they find out. Even parts of the Abyss that we spend incredibly short amount of time in, have a striking amount of detail. The author of Made In Abyss clearly loves world building.

Riko (main female character) and Reg (main male character) are good characters; the series quickely get you attached to them and they are written excellently. In most series child characters are either too adult like or too stupid but this series manages to portray them very realistically. But the best characters are introduced later in the series so I have to refrain from talking about them to avoid spoilering anyone.

Overall MiA is a amazing series with fantastic world building and characters, in my opinion the two most important aspects of story telling; I would recommend this series to anyone who loves great fantasies.
