>There are people who honestly don't realize that Mirai Nikki is a blatant and self-aware parody of every bad anime trope in existence.
No wonder this show has such a shit fanbase. On one side, edgy teenagers who love the show but have no comprehension that it's a parody; and on the other, people who HATE it because they mistakenly believe that it is actually meant to be taken seriously.
Mirai Nikki is the Fargo of Anime. And in that sense, it is truly a work of genius.
Personally I think the concept of a batshit insane girl using omnipotence to transcend time and space and murder her own parallel self over and over again in an attempt to live with her crush forever in an endless time-loop is a pretty unique premise
Yuno is literally the only reason anyone gives a shit about this show. And the only reason people give a shit about Yuno is because there is an extreme lack of main characters who are hardcore yandere, much less shows that basically revolve around it.
I still don't understand why there aren't more full-on yandere characters.

I think it is supposed to be taken seriously. People like you will pretend Fairy Tail is supposed to be a parody of battle shonen when its just a braindead ecchi. Japs didn't exist on such levels of ironi in 2006 fuck sake.

Come for the yandere. Stay for the terrorist.
He's store brand Kaworu.

Most hardcore yandere are only found in eroge (R18 otome and BL). The trope peaked in the early 2010's and some authors stuck to it. Sadly, it didn't happen in shounen.

I just want to fuck Yuno, why do you guys have to make everything so complicated?
The only reason I gave a shit about this show was for Minene, the real best girl. I can read plenty of hentai to get hardcore yandere, but where the fuck else do I find Mad Bomber Milfs?
I remember the detective character also being based and noticing a sharp decline in the quality of the anime when he was gone.
