There's also the way the "game" actually plays out the setup and the first few episodes had me thinking that we were in for a battle royale situation with a bit more cunning to trap the other players into their "DEAD END", but that wasn't always the case. Without mentioning major spoilers, some of this was set up (one as early as the first episode) yet they ultimately play out as though the writers, or the manga, ran out of ideas. Many of these come out towards the end of the show, when the plot seems to trip on it's own feet by adding in what feel like several deus ex machinas (which, admittedly, is fitting since the character mostly resposible for them is named Deus). I say "camp" because there are a lot of elements in Future Dairy that are flat out ridiculous, even by it's own crazy standards. While Future Diary did not turn out to be everything that I thought it would be, it was a fun ride and a welcome addition to the campy horror genre of anime. The premise was pretty interesting-a group of people with diaries that can predict the future compete to become the next god of time-and the first episode was pretty gripping, so I was sold from the outset. I went into this show with some high expectations, since I'd always heard good things about the manga. To quote a NicoNico anon: "Plot Twist: The Anime."
