Note: This adult-oriented anime adaptation is filled with elements of violence, humanity, crime, gore, depression, and more. しかし, this uncomfortable anime has aroused a lot of resonance in my heart, and even tears rolled in my eyes involuntarily during several orgasms. (Spoiler alert) This work is based on the battle royale game played by the god of space and time Deus in order to select the next generation of gods from 12 unknown lucky players. A warm and healing growth story between. With the development of the plot, players with different intentions appeared one after another, and fighting, tricks, conspiracies, and survival became the main theme of the early stage. This reminds me of the Danwan Lunpo series that I have followed before. It is heavy, bloody, and human nature has become changeable in style under the unique appearance of Riman. The tense melody of being hunted down and the warmth of many changes during the stable period. Unique and distinctive character design, intriguing Japanese-style black humor, undisguised portrayal of the morbid heart, not catering to the audience to destroy the good atmosphere that has been created, wonderful suspenseful plot, ingenious setting of foreshadowing and suspicious points, when people watch Don't get bored and want to watch it all in one go. (If you are not too disgusted with violent elements and depressive elements.) In the later stage, the world view gradually becomes clear, the puzzling places are explained, and the ins and outs of the story are looming. Those morbid and bizarre behaviors and ideas are not absurd, they are not depressing. Yuno-chan♡'s past is revealed, and like Xuehui, it's a family tragedy. It doesn't seem so strange that a depressed child with autism and low self-esteem is the ultimate sick girl who can ignore others for a little warmth and love. Family tragedies are being staged every day in hidden corners of every country and every city in the world, and the biggest victims are children, who are traumatized and distorted when their minds grow up. This is a topic that we should not avoid. Not only the male and female protagonists, but many of the supporting characters in the play were all in their childhood and adolescence (that is, growing up) and suffered persecution from all aspects. The 5th, 10th children, and the 8th adopted children are all victims of family tragedies, the 9th are war orphans, and the 4th are victims of power struggles and parental interests. At a certain moment, I feel that the so-called morbidity is caused by various social problems. It's actually the norm. Just as pain sets off happiness, sickness sets off beauty, and the existence of sickness is inevitable. The setting of the world view of this work is also very novel. It is a highlight that an anime full of adult reality can appear "time travel", "god" and "parallel world". There's even a superpower fight scene at the end. It is also doomed that this is not a purely depressive gray world, but a world of perfect combination of two-dimensional beautiful fantasy and three-dimensional cannibalism and despicableness. This anime is very inclusive and diverse. More than 20 chapters tell the exciting battle royale game "Future Diary", the male protagonist's search for friendship, love and family, the redemption of my wife Yuno, and the tragicomedy of the supporting characters. , The story of the time-space god Deus and the servant Lumrum's open and secret battle across parallel worlds also has ulterior motives in the details. At the end of each episode, a light-hearted and funny Lumrum theater is placed to relieve the audience's tension and depression in the main drama. . The production cost of this anime is not much. After all, it is a slightly curious work for adults, and it was not favored at the beginning. It can be seen from the simplicity and roughness of some pictures that some scenes are even like simple flash animations, with characters moving horizontally. But these scenes are at relatively unimportant moments, at critical moments, when the climax suddenly explodes (relatively speaking), it can be seen that the producer has invested a certain amount of effort in this work, making this work and the use of pictures, The cv lineup and BGM are used to impress the audience, and the popular works that use the plot to cater to the audience are fundamentally different. This book draws a lot from it. Not to mention "Battle Royale", which has evolved into a theme. What I want to say is another classic human nature masterpiece "EVA". Although this work does not have the heavy religious color of "EVA", "EVA" is a model for the depiction of human details. "The world collapses and becomes a god" in "Future Diary" is very similar to "EVA". Similarly, the male protagonist is a representative of lack of love and weakness, and he is also liked by a handsome silver-haired guy who is related to God (this is definitely not a coincidence!). In addition, "Future Diary" also uses a certain stream of consciousness technique. Having said so much, the more I talk about it, the more confusing it becomes. The deeper the analysis, the more difficult it is to sort out the thoughts. This work really makes people have mixed feelings. Finally, I want to really say something about the beautiful, warm, healing aspects of Future Diary. I'm not joking. The dark and morbid atmosphere laid out in the work is not just to make the audience uncomfortable, but to use these to set off some beauty that we ignore and don't understand. The subtle and incomprehensible feelings between the male and female protagonists: My wife Yuno's love for Amano Xuehui. Incomprehensible, scary, sick, perverted, etc. are all very correct descriptions, and these are all evaluated by us from the perspective of God and with the correct values of the mainstream of the public. In reality, the concepts held deep within each person are different and constantly changing. People like beauty, long for beauty, and pursue beauty, but they don't know what beauty they really need. Many times people pursue something but find that it is not what they really want. My wife Yuno is also a girl with the same characteristics as ordinary people. Because of the influence of the environment, she fell into despair and lives in a completely different world from most ordinary people. Naturally, she cannot be evaluated by mainstream concepts. In her eyes, this The rest of the world is sick, so she's on the defensive, suspicious of others, hating them, and wielding an axe like a worm. Xuehui is her god, her savior, and the only reason for her existence. This kind of love is different from social feelings such as love, family affection, and friendship. It is a kind of no matter what the inherent model, no matter what the society is, no matter what my instinctive desires as a human being, this kind of unique love has a simple name - "like" "This kind of love is 100% firm in my wife Yuno's heart, she does her best to stick to this kind of love, and there is no problem in killing those who protect her in the survival game of the jungle. But in the end, this love was shaken, my wife Yuno was shaken, she got what she wanted in her heart (continue to be with Xuehui in the world of the third week.) Because she was somewhat infected by Xuehui, her In fact, her character is gradually improving. In the beginning, Yuno's expression will become dull when she is happy and painful, and in the later stage, she can also show a beautiful smile and sad tears. No matter how bad people can grow, as long as there is love. Xuehui's feelings towards Yuno also changed subtly. At the beginning of the period, the male protagonist made a superficial couple with Yuno because of his fear of other gamers and Yuno, and his feelings about Yuno were very contradictory, sometimes he liked her and sometimes thought she was a lunatic. Xuehui was too indecisive, lacking in opinion, attached too much importance to other people's opinions and was very weak. His family was broken up, he was bullied by his classmates, and then autistic. It has become like this, as it should be. There are many people on the Internet who scold the male protagonist as a waste. He is indeed a waste, but I don't hate him, so I don't think the male protagonist This is a bad point of this work. If you are weak, you have to use others, and you should grow up slowly. Those viewers who like the male protagonist to be brainless and brainless may not be suitable for watching this work. After all, this is not a battle scene, and it is a very stupid thing to evaluate a character based on combat power (including tricks). The male protagonist still believes in friendship and family after being deceived many times and conspiracy. In a survival game, it is not easy to maintain a good heart. The real strength is the person who dares to be himself. He lacks love, so he wants to exchange love for love. He has infected many people, including the stubborn Yuno-chan and Yuryu Minya. He has grown up, but he has not been blackened, because what he wants in his heart has not changed, family love, friendship, a harmonious society, and the most important thing is to make Yuno happy. His fear of Yuno turned to understanding, and his previous fear of love also became bold. Nowadays, many people dare not dare to pursue love boldly. They are always influenced by the opinions of others, and even think that love is unimportant. The strong are the ones who dare to love. The male protagonist has a poor starting point, and his life is boring, but he dares to love. This is something we should learn from. People are always looking for a real partner based on their imaginary near-perfect counterpart. And my wife, Yuna, is what the male protagonist fears most, the opposite of the gentle and considerate glasses girl (the male protagonist Xinyi's classmate). The reality is often the same, the more you like what God will give you the opposite. Long live understanding, after understanding Yuno, the male protagonist discovered her pity. Yuno-chan, whose fighting power is on the top of the table, but her heart is extremely fragile. And then it's the old-fashioned plot of becoming a god for you, and then fighting your life to save you. (Although it is old-fashioned, it is very handsome. After so many episodes, it finally makes people feel good.) Finally, I reflected on it, is the ideal type really that important? Attached a few beautiful pictures: Taken from bilibili, dare to love, don't even dare to love, what else can you do. Yuno is happy. His fear of Yuno turned to understanding, and his previous fear of love also became bold. Nowadays, many people dare not dare to pursue love boldly.
