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.
Ok, so where do I start I read the manga first before watching it. Because I am one of those who likes to read to get the gist and actually like it before I watch it. And let me tell you I was happy I did because its honestly a really good survival anime. Its so wonderfully scripted and written well however some may disagree and I would say that they might be right but meh. I was at first wary because I did not want something of battle royale coming back but in futuristic style. I was wrong because from being slow paced at first it had become fast paced, its highly popular and some may not agree and give it average opinions but for me I am surprised by its consistency of twists.
With only 12 participants unknown identity, they all must battle for the throne of the deus ex machina. It is probably a very interesting concept of a written diary by phone, from what it looked like the diary itself is the owner and once that is destroyed aka phone. Then you will not live any longer either its a survival of the best. And what Yuki does is just that with the help of several people and of course the crazy Yandare Yuno.
Overall there wasnt a lot of character development besides here and there number 9 being one in depth. Yuno and Yuki were the main stars of course. It was a series of plot twists which I loved and it engraved into a lovely set of scenes with psychological thrillers. I am extremely surprised and happy about this anime so i wont continue to gravel about it. I loved the animation and music, I think the development between yuno and yuki were at most creepy but sweet.
Its not the best of the best or the worst. Its smack dab as wonderful though something different for a different plotline and all I recommend this to those who havent touched it. Its worth every watch plus you can tick of the list as to why you watched it and wonder what was wrong with it in the first place!
So get watching and I'll leave you with some songs for now ~
Dopes ~
