I said I would do it, and I did. Although it's not quite on the level of my 25 episode a day One Piece marathons, 9 episodes in a row is sort of intense. It was mixed with shopping for PC components (which turned out to suck more than I expected) but I'm still proud! I should be proud... right?
I made the mistake of thinking I was starting to understand this anime, but no, it just keeps getting weirder.
Warning: Spoilers
I pretty much expected the Fourth to turn out to be a douche, although he did have a decent motive to want to become God. The Ninth is also starting to grow on me as a character, even though she's a globally known terrorist. But, with only seven episodes left in the series there aren't many characters left to be revealed, and not many more that are still alive.
It's nice to see that Yuno's character is starting to develop a bit more, even if she is just getting more and more psychotic with each episode. The imprisonment part with Yuuki was weird even for her, and the whole booby-trapping the entire Hotel was crazy. Credit to the author who came up with the pickaxe in the elevator idea though, that surprised me.
Still, Akise is also proving to be an interesting character, but I think he's a bit too intelligent for his age. He reminds me a bit of Light from the Death Note series, just slightly less insane.
I also have to give credit to Yuuki. While I'm not a fan of main characters that are slightly pathetic - see Haruyuki in Accel World - he's doing well to have not lost his mind after the amount he has been through, I think I would have given up by that point.
The good thing about the plot of Mirai Nikki is that it keeps you on edge most of the time since you never know which Diary Owner is going to turn up and what kind of ridiculous power his Diary will present him with. The Seventh's Diaries were cool, albeit pretty cheesy and I quite like the Ninth's Escape Diary as well.
I'm aiming to finish the series tomorrow if my time allows me, but it might take a few more days yet, so you guys will need to wait patiently for the series review! No spoilers, I really want to enjoy this series. Especially considering I've managed to avoid using a Wiki to answer something I've been curious about, instead of waiting for something to actually happen.
In terms of PC component hunting, I tried selecting some websites that offer international shipping, only to be shot down by all of them. Tigers Direct wanted $500 for shipping and using Amazon would mean that I would need to pay $300 in import taxes. No thanks.
Well that's all for tonight, I really need to sleep. Hopefully the stupidly loud thunder won't wake me up.
