The Future Diary (Season 1)

The Future Diary (Mirai Nikki, 2011) is a dark psychological thriller anime you can watch online on iFILM, built around a teenager whose phone starts predicting what comes next. Loner Yukiteru Amano spends his days jotting down everything around him, never taking part.

Deus, the imaginary friend Yuki always dismissed, turns out to be a real god of time — and he rewrites the boy's diary into a window onto the near future. The gift has teeth. Eleven other people hold diaries of their own, and all twelve are forced into a survival game where only one can live. Yuki's fiercest ally and biggest danger is Yuno Gasai, a girl obsessed with him and one of anime's most unnerving characters.

Across 26 episodes the show swings between tender romance and outright slaughter, each diary working by its own twisted rules. Adapted from Sakae Esuno's manga, it became a cult favorite for fans of brutal death-game stories like Battle Royale. Stream every episode of The Future Diary online on iFILM.
