Episodes/Chapters: 11/3 Volumes
Synopsis: (Spoliers included!!!!)
Yukiteru Amano, or "Yuki," lived as an introvert, writing a diary on his cell phone and talking with imagery friends--or so he thought. One day, he was brought to light about a survival game; a special battle royale that involves eleven contestants with individual special powers involving their phones and prediction of the future. Unbelieving and incredulous, Yuki denies the matter-of-fact but eventually succumbs to the truth. Later, he meets Yuno Gasai and is forced to team up with her, as he is one of the first to be targeted. Gradually, as they work together, Yuno and Yuki become ever closer and their sincerely growing. Yuki is innocent and surprised of Yuno's insanity and egregious desire to sacrifice anything in the way of her dreams. Later, Yuki's parents are killed and Yuki turns into an alike version of Yuno--ruthless, unforgiving. They team up and kill every last participant, leaving them the only two. Yuki's friends try to convince him that Yuno has ulterior motives and that she is the god of time and space. He doesn't listen and that directly results in their deaths. Their deaths eclipse something in Yuki and he starts to doubt Yuno's sincerity. Yuki finds out part of the truth, enough to seriously doubt Yuno but keeps it to himself until Murmur, Yuno's servant gave to her by Deus, tells him the truth. Yuno transport herself there and argues with Yuki over the truths, half-truths, and lies. Yuno tries to kill Yuki to restart the world but Minene, the supposed to be dead 9th contestant, comes and saves Yuki. Yuno decides to restart the world anyway, but surprisingly Yuki and Minene follow her through the time and space portal. Yuki reveals his feelings for Yuno and tells her to kill him and start a new world filled with happiness; Yuno kills herself and Yuki becomes the new god of time and space. After 10,000 years of mourning for Yuno, he found himself in the third world, where Yuno lives with her memories intact; they marry and find love.
Opinion:
One of the best binge watching animes for me. The unique, interesting plot is an eye catcher as well as the peculiar romance between the two leads. Survival stories involves good character and plot development while maintaining the readers' or watchers' interest in the storyline. The survival aspect of the anime plainly shows the worse and best of humans--fear, greed, yet compassion. The anime itself is not that long--with only 11 episodes as part of the original anime-- and it's cut before things get too boring or overdrawn.
