Summary:
Middle school 2nd year, Amano Yukiteru, is a boy who has problem making friends. He thinks of himself as a bystander and will always write down everything he sees in a cell phone diary. Tormented by solitude, Yukiteru began to imagine things like a friend called Deus Ex Machina who is apparently the Lord of Time & Space. Seeing Yukiteru's miserable state, Deus gives him a new ability. His diary will now record events that will happen in the near future. Yukiteru is then forced to participate in a game which the winner will become Deus's successor.
This has got to be the best story in an anime I have ever seen. Seriously, the story in this anime is very very very unpredictable and has plenty of twists and keep the viewer right there and not lost in the complexity of the story. I have read the first 6 volumes of the manga before watching the show and I was very pleased to see that they kept the anime extremely close to the manga. Although seeing that all the volumes of the manga stopped being released I'm not sure if they kept the ending the same, but I enjoyed the ending in every way! All the main characters had been developed soo well that they felt very human. As for the entertainment, it's extremely high. Things get started right away, in the very first episode, and they continue like that for the rest of the show. Granted there may be some down times in an episode, but they only last for bout 10 minutes. A little warning though, this anime is very brutal. However most of the releases are censored so most of the violence is censored out. All in all this show has soo much good going on and for fans of the mystery/thriller genre, this is a MUST!!
