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 especially this 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 ver…

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 who gets 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…

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.

Once you put your time and effort of understanding into this anime , things start to become more clear. Second time watching the first 26 eps, and this is my first time with the Redial:) They have simplified many aspects and left for a very pleasing wrap up ! Some of the things I had to really look into will be listed:) I would overall agree with others, please watch the anime fully before watching this , there may be a lot of parts you will not understand otherwise.
Amazing anime , I found nostalgia, realism, polotics, fantasy,beauty,artwork,history,romance,curiosity and so many more things while indulging myself in every moment ^.^ It is well worth the watch :3

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 prefe…

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 the fuck you are to call it, is the exact same as Mirai Nikki. Now... that's about it.

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)

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 thats the 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…

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 the beach 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 prolog…

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 :)

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 amicable paradigm 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 o…

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 the world 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 goe…

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 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…

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 minimum expectations 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…

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 though I 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…

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 of emotions 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.

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 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'…

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

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!

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…
