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 show's a bit of a pain.
It starts slow, then you get into it for a bit, then you realise how pathetically annoying the main character is, but by now you're too far gone to stop, so you keep watching. You enjoy the action and some of the characters, but the story's a bit lazy, and the annoying characters don't get any better, just more numerous. Finally you get to the end, and even though the story wasn't really there, it ties your heart in a knot similar to a Gainax series, and leaves you feeling ultimately ... confused.
