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 remember. 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 notanything 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 remember. 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.

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 support this turn of events. The episode itself is beautiful - action scenes are wonderfully choreographed, fast-paced, and artfully consistent; the Japanesevocal 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.

You won’t be blamed if you come into redial with a bit of hesitation, whether you enjoyed or hated the original series, the fashion in which it concluded didn’t leave much in terms of stones unturned that viewers might be too curious to unearth. Redial however could leave you pleasantly surprised. Redial takes place in the 3rd world following the end of the series. A girl named Gasai Yuno experiences a sense of Déjà vu from most things around her and faintly recalls fragmented memories that she doesn’t know of and someone whose face she can’t seem to remember, Kingdom Hearts-esque stuff. There is an amicableparadigm shift in redial, gone are the future diaries and plot twists, redial take a more subtle approach and focuses on the characters. Redial takes most of the characters from the original and realizes them in very interesting fashion.
Most characters in the original were yes, a bit over the top a times, but one thing it did very well is memorability, the characters were crazy and just over the top enough that most would not be forgetting them anytime soon. Redial embraces this heritage so well and uses it to weave a very interesting side story. Redial shines the most when showing us what became of them, the various situations and sometimes friendly or goofy personalities to some of the more serious characters is sure to leave most people with a smile on their face. The writers of redial were of course aware of some of the writing issues in the original and it was a bit funny here to see them make several parodical remarks about it throughout the show.
Whether you enjoyed or hated the original, redial gives a cute and interesting look at some of the more subtle moments the original wasn’t able to realize, it’s a nice short side story that’ll certainly leave all parties satisfied.

You finished watching Mirai Nikki? Do you feel like something is still missing? You crave some kind of epilogue or closure? In that case, watching Mirai Nikki Redial... ...will do nothing for you. I'm sorry. As much I hated the plot-hole-ridden, crazy and unfinished ending of Mirai Nikki, at least it kind of ended the series on a fairly positive note. As for Redial, it's pure fan-service in every way. The first half is the obligatory beach trip, the staple filler episode that was missing from the main series. Yes, sure, we get to see a random group of the main characters again, frolicking on thebeach in swimsuits, having fun or goofing off with each other, but it's only that. It really adds nothing to anything.
The second half is where everything happens. It's a corny, tacked-on prologue, that forces in a half-assed "happy ending", continuity and plot holes be damned. It's pure fan-service. It completely destroys what meaning and power left in the original ending, the impossible choices and sacrifices made by the main characters, only to magically bring them together in some sort of weird pseudo-reality and give the fans a totally out of place, saccharine HAPPY END. So, if you just couldn't handle Yukki and Yuno not ending up together and live happily ever after, well, there you have it. The tear-soaked pillows and sleepless nights are finally over. Good for you.
Yes, it was nice to see the old gang again, some more fun, action and some extra story... But if you were looking for some real answers or closure after Mirai Nikki, well, I'm sorry, but you won't find that in Redial.

Dear God... I read & re-read the Mirai Nikki manga... What a sad story. Friend, let me tell ya... If you need a good cry, read Mirai Nikki. It was thrilling, exciting, dramatic and very VERY sad. That was a year ago now and this OVA just came out today. Guess what? It wasn't just a happy ending, but it was one of the most intensely joyful moments of my life. It was SCREAM-OUT-LOUD good. Yes. Yes. If you have read the manga... PLEASE. Watch this OVA!

I really enjoyed the original series, but the ending of ep 26 felt awfully rushed and left me craving for more - I mean, you can't just open up a whole alternative world in the last episode of your series and then just show like 50 seconds of it. That's why I was very pleasently surprised when I found out that this OVA existed: It achieves everything the final episode didn't, and even though the OVA's ending also felt kinda rushed, it still gave a very good sense of closure to the series. Most of the important characters make their appearence in this alternative world, and especiallythis alternative, pure version of Yuno is interesting - living a "perfect" live (especially in comparison the one the original Yuno had to go through), but still feeling strangely empty... like something very important to her has just been missing her whole life.

This Ova was a great addition to the series, but it would have been better if it came out sooner, because a year later I lost my emotions for mirai nikki and i didnt feel too happy when Yuno and Yukki reunited. This is defeitly good if you watch this directly after finishing the series. It will make you feel complete. Plus all those people saying the first ending is beter and all that shit. News flash the series never ended like that in the manga the Ova was supposed to happen, Only difference is that in the manga Yuno was Alot bigger then Yuki.

Mirai Nikki Redial shows what happened 2 years after the end of TV Series. You can say ''True ending'' as it was in the last chapter of the manga. I think i am not the only one who left with some kind of a ''Hole'' after the series , and this OVA really filled that hole. And made me my day happy. Also it was great that other characters and some diary owners were brought back. And some humor with Mao-chan and Hinata was great ! I'm happy for Yuno and Yukki :)
charlytanne
If you finished the anime and think you can live with that ending, you're probably a better man than me because when I watched it and I had the worst and most depressing empty feeling in my heart. The OVA is not the typical Mirai Nikki episode with betrayal, killing, and obsession but is rather silly and happy. I think the light heartedness was to convey peace in accordance to the plot, and wouldn't really be fitting. There is some action, but not nearly as distorted or grizzly as the action from the anime. Overall, it gave me the minimumexpectations of the happy ending and closure I wanted.
A lot of it shows Yuno's life as well as all the other game participants' and characters' without the existence of the future diary game. All their lives are conveyed as what the participants lives would have been if they had been emotionally undisturbed as opposed to the previous timelines.
To me, the happiness and comic nature doesn't really bother me because I didn't know what else to expect besides a happy ending for everyone except Yuki. I felt satisfied knowing the "happy endings" of all the future diary holders, but I felt so sad as I watched Yuno live her life without Yuki or knowledge of him and at moments when she feels Yuki's subtle presence in her mind and I like she needs to see someone.
At the end, when Yuki and Yuno meet I would've liked to see something more rather than Yuno just barging in to the second world and rejoicing with Yuki being all happy etc. Maybe something in regards to how they somehow would marry, come together, or be with each other. But, I was satisfied knowing that in the end they were happy.

Mirai Nikki is one of my most favorite animes ever. Mostly 'cause I love gory and psychological animes. This anime was a perfect example of that. Moving on to the OVA, I expected more of the gore and psychological stuff I loved from the anime. Instead, no blood was even spilled. Nothing that mind blowing. Just a little fanservice and comedic skits. Sure it was pretty entertaining. I really missed all the characters, especially Yuno and Akise. But nothing was really accomplished. They just confirmed what happened after the events of the last episode of the anime. Well, it was nice to see that everybody was normal(well maybe except 12th, he was still weird) whereas in the past world, they were all hungry to win the game, of course, with bloodshed. But apparently it felt rushed. We didn't even get to see the other characters such as Marco and Ai (which I really like btw). So overall the OVA was pretty entertaining with lots of comedy and slight fluff but didn't really give me the same "feel" when I watched anime.

First off, I'm warning anyone who hasn't seen Mirai Nikki that my review MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS! This episode just starts off as a special. It's summer camp so the school is at the beach. There's playful humor and a bit of girl-girl action (which seems to happen in every anime beach scene). As the episode progresses, the truth behind the ending begins to unfold. I'm a big fan of Mirai Nikki but found the ending off-putting for some reason. The last episode of the anime just killed my feelings towards Mirai Nikki as a total. After watching this OVA, I felt a better conclusion. I feel as thoughI now better understand Yuno which is something which I never grasped from the 26 episodes I watched. I don't question whether she was born a psycho or not anymore. I was happy that I was able to see more of twelfth. Eleventh was also brought in a villanous, humourous manner. So in character development, this episode did a lot for me.
*Note how I'm ignoring Yuki because I still hate the crap out of him, nothing can save him*
The art and sound were beautiful like the rest of the anime. I really loved the OP, I'm sad that it was only used once.
In total, I give this OVA an 8/10. It was done very well for an OVA. This episode isn't a must see, though if you weren't satisfied with the original ending (like me), I really do recommend this. It explains events to a further point.
ProtossDragon
I'll be honest here, sure they wrapped up the series with this OVA but to me it was a little rushed (28 minutes to give or take) and this felt nothing like the original series. I'm not looking for gore or a lot of action but this feels like a children's film. I mean it's fine to throw in a happy ending and all but there is something missing in all of this. Don't go in expecting it to be the like series.(Side note I like the cliffhanger better) :3
Ripstuff
I will assume you (the reader) saw the original series. Now redial is about what happens after the original series so if you haven't saw it then don't read this please. I'll get to the point the OVA tries to put a "closure" to the series which I find personally it only made it more complicated. Skip to Overall for final opinions on the entire series. (Spoilers) (Spoilers) Story: 5(Spoilers) So Yuno after being everyone's favourite yandere girl turns normal she feels something empty inside her and senses something is not right. In another world we have Yuki... who has lived literally 10000 years in solitude. Now thatsthe one of the things that most bothers me. I don't care if people say it is just an anime it not real but really 10000 years! He is a god couldn't he have made a new world filled with Yunos or at least a blow-up doll... Anyways Yuno is living a great life blah blah blah then decides to search for what is misssing. Plot happens and in the end.... nothing happens all you hear is "Yuki" in her yandere voice. So what can we conclude on this? Nothing. Did Yuki build a new world with Yuno as a Goddess? Did they go back to world #1 and have a normal life? And most importantly did Yuki ever grow a par of balls?
Art: 7
Nice Art, the fighting scenes were alright.
Sound: 8
Good sound quality. I really don't say much about art or sound.
Character: 3
Yuno she is so cool I guess but dumb as hell. Why because we have one of if not the most annoying character in Anime history Amano Yukiteru. How do you defend someone who is that weak, I have seen chickens who stand up for themselves more than he does. "But Kamistuff-san if you where in that situation you too would be scared" Yes I would but I would know when to hide in the corner and start to cry and when to stand up and die like a man or fight which ever it comes to.
Overall: 5
I liked the original series and its ending. I think that there was no need for this OVA. And yes most of my hate for the series comes from Yuki and the plot that sometimes doesn't make sense. Again jokes aside it had potential but the ending was too unclear and it was rather forge just for Fan service. EX: "Omg YukixYuno 4ever" Thank you for reading and if I came off as rude I do sincerely apologize.

About a month ago I was at the pub with a buddy of mine. I met him last year at University but he's apparently been a mega weeb since middle school. Unlike him, I'm actually kind of new to anime, only picking it up about a year ago due to boredom during quarantine. (which was a great choice as it quickly became one of my favourite forms of entertainment.) As conversations with a long-time weeb usually go we end up talking about anime, primarily anime he reminisced over. This is when he brought up Mirai Nikki. "So it was this anime about a guy whogets a diary that can see into the future, but eleven other people also get diaries too and they have to kill each other, the last man standing becomes the next god of time" he explains
"what the fuck? sounds kinda wacky. I've never heard of it." I reply a little uninterested as I assumed it would be another shitty Shoenan he was trying to convince to watch. Despite my new love for anime, watching 80 episodes of an overpowered guy punch stuff is not my cup of tea.
"Yeah man, from what I can remember it was a bit of a gory psychological thriller, kinda mind fucky too"
Now I'm interested "oh?" I say in response.
"YEAH, and the other main character is some insane Yandere chick whose diary is literally just about him. The show is gets fucked up as shit as he slowly gives into her"
Oh? a show about a descent into insanity, now that's up my alley
And with that I was sold, the next day I decided to watch it and man what can I say. I loved the Future Diary (Mirai Nikki) in fact it's one of the best animes I've seen in a while. The series was a great slow descent into insanity with a slam dunk of an ending, a bitter ending that was fitting for the show showing that in the end, no matter what trauma you might have faced or how good your reasons are you will always have to face the consequences of your actions. Easily a 9/10 for me.
WARNING I'M GOING TO SPOIL THE ENTIRE ENDING OF THE ORIGNAL SHOW. If you haven't seen it please watch it first, trust me it's a banger. However please don't watch Redial Thank you
I loved the ending of Mirai Nikki. Yukki and Yuno, after slaughtering everyone around them are left with just themselves in a dying world. However one of them inevitably has to die or the world simply ends. Yukki knows now that even if he were to become a god, can't undo his wrongs and bring everyone back from the dead, making his reckless killings no longer in the realm of the ends justifying the means, but turns them into killings of pure selfish greed. However, with the flawed character that Yukki is, he won't or can't acknowledge that, and instead hides behind the idea of "saving Yuna" and his own past ignorance as an excuse. Yuna on the other hand, can't be saved, she still clings onto Yukki with every fibre of her being. She can't and won't let go, in fact, she would be willing to do it all again. To subject Yukki to all the pain the game had on him, to slaughter everyone in her path all over again just to get a little more time with Yukki. Funny enough It is revealed that she already has. This isn't the first time the game happened, in fact, it happened once before. However last time, being the final two they both decided to die together but fate won't have that. Yukki happened to die just a second before her, making her the new god. Unable to go on without Yukki, she roles back the clock to do the game all over again. Not to have Yukki win, but to spend just a little more time with him. So she roles back the clock onto the third cycle of the game.
This time, however, Yuna knows there is no way for them both to win or die together, so she attempts to kill Yukki, become god again, and selfishly rewind the clock, playing the game again, endlessly. Yukki of this world defies this end, not because he wants to save the world, but because of his own selfish desire to save Yuna.
This leads them to a final battle in the third timeline. Yukki set on saving Yuna. However, he's not alone, Minene (the ninth) comes in clutch as a "half-god" to aid him, not to save Yuna but to defeat her.
(I'm not gonna explain to much as how Minene comes back because that would turn this into a 5-page long literature review. but basically the time god was like "aw shit somethings kinda wrong here, hay only likeable and least flawed player, ima stick my hand in your chest give you half my power or some bullshit. If you are about to die or shit hits the fan from the game so you can fight the Yandere chick" I'm not complaining, she's easily the best character in the show so I was kinda rooting for her from the start)
a Big fucking battle happens, and for the first time in the show, Yuna breaks from her unending insanity and spills the hardest truth on Yukki. Yukki would have fallen in love with anyone who let him hide behind them, it just happened to be her. And that she would have fallen in love with anyone who let her cling onto them. It's the hard reality, they weren't meant for each other, they might not have ever loved each other for who the other truly was. they only loved how they could suffocate themselves in ignorance and their own selfish needs within each other. With each other, neither of them can grow as people and they will do nothing both drag each other down into madness.
Despite the 26 episodes Yukki never seems to grow as a person and for the most part, neither does Yuna. Yukki attempts to convince Yuna to kill him so she can turn back the clock and go through with her plan, feeding into her mad desires. In his own flawed morals, this is saving her however all he is doing is dooming her to an endless cycle. In the end, Yuna somehow sees the inevitability of her repeated actions, sees how none of this will ever lead to Yukki's happiness and in every timeline, he will die sad, and with regret. Seeing this she kills herself, making Yukki the new god of the world they just left behind. However it's already too late, the world they left behind is already destroyed with everyone Yukki ever cared about being dead, and due to his own guilt and inability to move on he is now doomed to it never being able to build a new world, remaining alone with nothing but his regrets for the rest of time. Arguably a fate worse than death. truly a dark, terrible, tragic amazing ending.
(side note, I just wanted to add this in, the ending isn't all tragic. remember how I said Minene ended up being alive and helped Yukki in the final battle, well she survives the battle and decides "fuck it, the old world is destroyed and I lost everything I loved there, ima lives here instead" She ends up meeting this worlds version of detective Nishijima who she fell in love with during her time playing the game in the last world. He falls in love with her and one of the last seines is them having a family together years later. So at least one good character got a happy ending.)
Now, let's move on to Redial. It takes everything I just praised the ending for, and throws it out the window. Apparently, some people didn't like how the only character to get a happy ending was the only character who actually grew as a person through the show and wanted our flawed awful protags to get their happily ever after. Which I suppose is fine if you do well, I'm actually really fucking easy to please. Going into it I didn't see a need to have a happier ending but was like "hm ok, this is Mirai Nikki we're talking about, even though it's not needed at all I'm sure they'll make it fulfilling, maybe this world Yuna, since she isn't a Yandere this time will end up with this worlds Yukki."
But no, they didn't do that, not at all. Basically, the first half is just shitty fan service, most of which doesn't make sense, both in that, it doesn't fill the theme of Mirai Nikki and also that half of it is plot holes and doesn't make any fucking sense.
Yuna is on some dumb shit beach with this world's version of Yukki's friends during the game. First off, this makes no sense, Yukki only met them during the game and the only reason they met Yuna during the game is that Yukki introduced them to her, not only that. one of them was LITERALLY created before the game for the second cycle of the game thus this guy wouldn't even fucking exist in this world. The ending of Mirai Nikki literally showed that third Cycle Yuna would have a separate friend group. But whatever, fine, ill deal with it, you wanna bring the old characters back that's fine. Except have the episode is just them fucking around, and them doing a "where are they now?' with some the other diary holders. Again, this is fine, some of it doesn't make any sense, like why would the cult leader be the same age as all of them, wasn't she like 5 years older in the original show. "Whatever," I think to myself, but the episode is quickly running out of time so they better do something quick.
Apparently, the time god is like "ALMAO I'm not gonna pick a new god, fuck it we will see what happens" but why! We literally know what happens when a time God isn't in a world, that was the whole fucking point on why Yukki was doomed to a wasteland. Whatever, I think again.
So for some reason, Yuna is getting some of her memories back and is like "damn I don't know who, but I was toxicly in love with someone" Despite the fact that it already was established in the first ending that this Yuna is an entirely another person from the original Yuna and wouldn't hold any memories at all or even feel the last Yuna had. Like I get in the first ending she had the scene where she was like "I feel like I'm forgetting something" but still feels like a massive stretch.
Somehow she ends up in the god realm or some shit to get "her" memories back, and Murmurs like "yo, no way, you ended the world twice get the fuck out of here" which is the only thing anyone says in redial that makes sense. But BOOM, LOOK ITS OUR FAVOURITE CHERECTURE, MINENE and she's here to fucking help Yuna get her memories back? WHAT why? Why would she do this, she literally only helped Yukki in the last world so they could kill her. She knows what the old Yuna is like and how she is willing to sacrifice a WHOLE FUCKING PLANET OF BILLIONS OF PEOPLE TO LITERALLY GET AN EXTRA YEAR WITH YUKKI. Which mind you was filled with nothing but pain and misery.
Evangelion reference, and guy who shouldn't even exist Fuck knuckles Magee appears, somehow with all of his memories from the last him, and tries to stop her. I'm like, ah she gonna lose, this guy beat her multiple times in Mirai Nikki, and this Yuna isn't even a crazy Yandere. But no, she kicks his ass. but ndui uiabufbeuwb9ubauobd how? and he's like "ah yes, I hate you, you killed everyone i cared about and know your the destroyer of not one, but two worlds, but lmao you go get your man hun"
Time god comes in and is like "nah let her do it and become yandere again it'll be love or something"
She gets her memories back, her memories of killing Yukki's friends, kidnapping Yukki, scaring Yukki, causing nothing but pain for Yukki, her realizing this and killing herself for Yukki and the old Yuna basically returns. Literally throwing everything Yuna's ending in the original out the window.
The god of time is like "ight, ima smash time and space so you can go see Yukki in the other timeline where hes the god, fuck it, your the new god of the third world. Its not like we spent an entire series learning why that's not a good idea and why this should never happen again."
And what do we get from this. 30 seconds, yes, 30 seconds of Yuna and Yukki together again. out of this entire 30-minute episode because they did nothing but waste time for 80% of it. and 19 percent was a bullshit battle that i didn't care about. This isn't even the same fucking Yuna, GOD I FUCKING HATE REDIAL......but hay, i guess this toxic couple can love each other again but most impotently, the fanboys favourite yandere is back, and that's really all that matters right?
Its like they assumed their audience would be like
"OH YAH EPIC" I scream in my room as I grip my body pillow of Yuna holding a knife. slipping into my fantasies of me to having sadist Yandere girlfriend
however, not everyone is a masochistic teenage boy, who obsesses over Yandere Anime girls.
After watching this I really questioned what demographic they expected to watch their R-rated gore psychological thriller show.
Conclusion
Redial takes this amazing ending and basically kills it. Redial takes place after the ending of the initial anime and basically, mistakingly attempts to have things end in a happy, wholesome "YAY everything turned out fine, no one has to face the repercussions of their actions" kind of way. It takes away what made the ending great. Yuki and Yuno were awful flawed people who slaughtered everyone around them so they could get their happy ending, enemy, bystander, and in the end even the ones closest to them. Moreover, a happy ending that was impossible. No matter what they did, no matter how many they killed, no matter how many times Yuna sets back the clock, they would never get their happily ever after, they were doomed from the start. Yuna had to die, and Yukki had to face the consequences of his actions and spend the rest of eternity in a broken barren wasteland of a world which they sacrificed selfishly to achieve a dream that they both knew would never come true. Their fates were locked from the beginning, they will never end up together and it would only cause endless pain and countless deaths for them to keep trying. As depressing as it is, shown in the end, it would be better for the both of them if they never had even met each other.
It's a bitter, cold ending and it was perfect for the dark story that Mirai Nikki was. In my mind, redial never happened, or isn't canon. As said it's full of plot holes and removes any and all dark, and depressing aspects of Mirai Nikki's ending. It's solely made for those who despite the masterpiece of an ending wanted Yuna and Yikki to be together in the end and get a happily ever after. Which mind you Retail doesn't even do in a good or failing way. I hated Redial so much I put more work into this review than I've done with some of my term papers. Do yourself a favour and don't watch Redial. Watch Mirai Nikki and once you hit the ending, stop so you don't have to see this complete disappointment and story ruiner of a supposed sequel.

Mirai Nikki - Redial was an amazing ending for the real anime Even though the OVA mainly focused on Yuno Gasai, still all main chracters were there living their normal happy life without survival game. And that was satisfying to see because after all the horrors they lived trough in main story you can let out a sigh of relief. They all have happy lifes and ending of ova was best thing that creators of Mirai Nikki could do. Music and animation were outstanding. And i have to give credit for voice actors. Yuno can't be easy to voice act because of her personality and changes ofemotions and still Tomosa Murata made awesome work.
If you have watched Mirai Nikki then you just have to see this OVA also. It completes the story beautifully.
korrdn
So, uh... this... was apparently supposed to be a better ending, correct? I just wish Gasai Yuno stayed without her memories. Yukiteru Amano is just a dick of a god, and Gasai Yuno is his crazy lover. Literally... crazy. Insane. Needs help. Story: 6/10 Uhmm... There's not that much really to say. The second is dead, I guess, and... just read the description on the MAL page or some other page. I'm not explaining it, but I will say this. Second = Dead, without memories, goes to find guy that randomly appears in memories, sucks him of- no, not that part. Art: 8/10 Animation, art, character design, whatever thefuck you are to call it, is the exact same as Mirai Nikki. Now... that's about it.
Sound: 7/10
I can't remember the music used in this, except for the fact that they made a third opening just for this OVA. What the hell was the point in that, huh? HUH?! Unless they make a season 2 (for some reason).
Character: 6/10
I don't really like much of the characters in Mirai Nikki, anyways, I hate the main characters, the only ones I really like are the minor ones. Kousaka, Hinata, Mao, Akise, Uryuu, all them good minor characters. Akise and Uryuu aren't really minor, but somewhat major to the story, but fuck it, who cares.
Overall: 6/10
It's a fair score, okay?! Well, it's the exact same as my Mirai Nikki one, so... deal with it, okay?! The ending was... not really as good as... Steins;Gate's perfect ending. You know what? Fuck it, in every review of a bad anime in my opinion, I'm just going to compare it to the Steins;Gate ending, considering Steins;Gate's ending was pure fucking gold. Anyway. This is my review. And this... is.... the end of my review. You thought I was going to say Sparta? Dayum, you watch too many movies. YOU SHOULD BE WATCHING ANIME!!

The greatest ending the greatest anime could ask for. If you've seen Mirai Nikki, then you know its a masterpiece with only 1 flaw, its ending. It gives us a glimpse as to what happened at the very last moment, but leaves behind an emptiness, a gap that couldn't convey all the emotions the series deserved. That's where this OVA comes in. It explains to us what happened in that fleeting glimpse of an ending we saw. Story 10/10 The OVA starts out at the best moment it could have, that gut wrenching, tear jerking farewell between Yuki and Yuno. It then goes on to show us how theworld is without the events from the first series taking place and gives a closure of sorts to the fates or the 10 other participants in the game. That just leaves us with 1st and 2nd.
The second half of the OVA goes on to show goes on to show Yuno's struggle to find her important person whom she can't remember, to fulfill that single longing that supported her through 3 parallel worlds.
Art 9/10
The animation and art style is the same as in Mirai Nikki. I must really praise the animators in doing an excellent job not just in this episode but in the entire series, they managed to convey the characters thoughts with just the art. Yuno's psychopathic face is one that will forever remain etched into my mind.
Music 10/10
Never expected there to be a new opening and closing for just this episode. Kudos to them for that. The music is to die for, and the track from the opening scene is enough to bring tears to your eyes. Need I say more?
Characters 10/10
I'd give it an 11 if that was on the scale. Yuno is in my opinion the epitome of character creation. In this episode we tend to see her in a kinder light as it focuses more on her love for Yukiteru. No new character development here but just bringing back these guys in all their former glory for one last run is enough to earn this a 10.
Enjoyment 10/10
I never imagined this episode would come out. And I never enjoyed watching an ending more than this one.
Overall 10/10
Just one episode, in 30 minutes it brings tears streaming down your cheeks and a smile to your lips. The greatest end to the greatest anime.

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'teven watch this. It will not make you feel anything but mildly confused and upset.

I find it rather confusing... it doesn't make any sense. The original series was fine, though, except that the characters remained unchanged throughout the story. It was obvious that World 3 has Yukiteru, and its Yuno had not met him yet. But, let's discount that off - say, he didn't transfer to the same school after the destruction due to the timeline being altered heavily. The story still suffered a severe lack of progress on its characters, and this sequel certainly isn't an end even for that. It's short, though, and attempts to do that (It'd be more fitting if Yuno then entered the second world... (Edit: Reading the manga ending, I see that the anime is at fault here)), so some bonus points for that (After the edit, 1 bonus point, actually, for being short).
(Edit : You might prefer to read its manga and the normal manga ending, too... at least, that's what I'd recommend.)
