Mirai Nikki: Redial

Yuno Gasai lives a normal life as a first-year in high school. She gets along well with her parents and even has a small circle of friends. However, she cannot help but feel as if someone is missing from her life, someone so important to her that it was as if she had lived another life trying desperately to stay with them.

After a class trip to the beach, Yuno returns home; but in the middle of the night, she receives strange messages from a voice only she can hear. The voice informs her of the person she is desperate to meet and that she must find him. Soon, she finds herself in a mysterious realm, her only goal being reunited with the person she cannot . Though obstacles stand in her way, Yuno will stop at nothing to meet her beloved once again.

EDIT, 13/06/2014. This is a old review. It was also my first. I am leaving it here for nostalgia's sake. I may remaster it because the grammar here is horrific. Thanks for reading!

This will be a review for Mirai Nikki Redial and WILL contain spoilers.

Mirai Nikki Redial is about a few seconds over 30 minutes long. This OVA seems to focus mainly on Gasai Yuno as well as other loved characters. In this OVA, we see almost every character living a happy life, apart from Eleventh who plays the roll as a villain of comedic value and Eighth who we do not see.

Redial is not ... anything of great status on it's own. However, after watching Mirai Nikki, it was extremely refreshing to hear all the wonderful voices of wonderful characters.

I have always asked my self a question about Mirai Nikki. Is Yuno really insane? To answer that question for myself, I think not. She is just a shy girl who wants nothing more than Yuki's love. This is proved by her strong will to . In the first few minutes of Redial, she turned to see Akise and thought it was Yukiteru.

I see this as two halves. The first half of Redial was a beautiful part of various scenes containing small hints of fanservice, which can always be nice. It also serves as a comedic use in which we see many funny moments between characters like Mao and Twelfth.

The second half focuses on a more serious subject and seems to be main point of Redial. Yuno is trying to reach of certain person. She does not know whom she is trying to reach until she regains her memories due to receiving something from Murumuru.

The story ends nicely with Yuno finally finding Yuki and re-uniting beautifully. The last few moments really got me when she said she wanted to see the stars with him.

After all those good points, there is one bad thing about Redial. It left me wanting to see more Mirai Nikki and left me in a sad mood.

In conclusion, Mirai Nikki Redial is definitely worth the time and achieved many thing. Happiness, Sadness, Laughter. Redial made all those things happen.

Mixed Feelings

Honestly this OVA is nothing but a fan service, showcasing a path that the actual anime would definitely not take, as it slaughters the tragedy and eternal melancholy that ripped fans hearts out but was necessary for the success of the show, leaving an ending full of fluff and contradiction basically to the entire series.
Now if this had developed into a season 2, i.e. shown the result of this, maybe Yuno becoming the God of the third world, other complications, I would definitely this turn of events.
The episode itself is beautiful - action scenes are wonderfully choreographed, fast-paced, and artfully consistent; the Japanese ... vocal cast is intune with the needs of the character; the music is phenomenal, the opening scene blew me away with the art and fit of the song to the anime.
Unfortunately the humour (a present but not vital part of the original story) dominates the piece, and the drama, fighting and reuniting (THE GOOD BITS) are all shoved into the last minutes of the episode - come on, you haven't seen the love of your life in 1000-10,000 years Yukki! Writers please give this some time!

Overall I love the series and the concepts, but this was really underwhelming. Sorry, not sorry.

Not Recommended

Taking place 2 years after the main series, Redial explores the relationships between the characters in their new universe.

Honestly, this isn't worth watching unless you've seen the full series and even then, don't watch it. It doesn't add anything new to the characters and is just fanservice (which can be fun, but in this case, it did not leave a satisfying feeling. Also, unnecessary beach trip episode featuring sexual harassment & groping of characters + predatory lesbian trope! Awesome!).

Bad bad bad bad bad & the original ending of the anime is so much better (even though that still wasn't great), so please, don't ... even watch this. It will not make you feel anything but mildly confused and upset.
