Mirai Nikki or Future diary is the true, quintessential, crazy-to-the-core show with a true yandere character. It all starts out with Yukiteru Amano aka Yuki being a shut-in. He doesn’t really talk to anyone at school and he can’t wait to go home and write a diary on his cellphone. He talks with some deity called Deus Ex Machina. The problem is Deus is real and wants a game. Suddenly he’s thrown into a fight to the death game in real life with 11 other people. The goal is to get the happy end in their diaries and not be killed. The real shining star here though is Yuno Gasai or the second diary holder.

Yuno Gasai is the craziest person I have ever seen in an anime, ever. She does anything and everything to keep Yuki with her. She really does love him, but maaaaaaaaaaaaan is her love creepy. She will kill anyone who tries to come after Yuki in the game or in real life. She will not let anyone come between them. She is psychopathic to the core and manipulates anything that she sees to advance her and Yuki.

Even though with all the crazy flailing about within this series, she does progressively become more earnest in confessing her love for Yuki. At first, she is a borderline creepy stalker. However, as time goes on, Yuki learns that he cannot live without Yuno. This series is the perfect, and I do mean perfect, example of a true yandere. Don’t miss out on this series at all!

The crazy train is not stopping as we reach the anime School Days. School Days follows the life of Makoto Ito, a first year high school student. He sees Kotonoha on the train one day and liking her, takes a picture on his phone and saves it as his wallpaper. That day, his friend Sekai sees the photo and offers to help Makoto and Kotonoha get together. She goes back and forth between the two giving advice. Lies, betrayal, unfaithfulness, desperation, and some two timing later, lives are in ruin and lives have ended. Watch it to see (boats) what happens!

This show actually has two yandere characters. Kotonoha and Sekai. Both are actually girlfriends of Makoto at different points for different reasons. However, and I won’t spoil anything, the crazy really comes out towards the end of the series.

Kotonoha and Sekai start out as friends. They both care for Makoto with Sekai supporting the relationship between Makoto and Kotonoha. Kotonoha is the more mentally destructive yandere for the most part while Sekai is the more verbal and outburst type of yandere. Eventually, they become pitted against each other in their conquest for Makoto leading to some really intense scenes and I really do want to go on and on but I can’t without spoiling the show!

Just to let you know how good the show is, the finale was actually pulled from TV the day before it was supposed to air and was shown in a limited viewing. Instead TV stations showed pictures of nice boats. Which is where the “nice boat” meme comes from. The more you know.

Ken Kaneki is a normal boy who befriends a girl named Rize Kamishiro. However, when he walks her home one night, she reveals herself to be a zombie who loves to eat humans. An accident happens and both are injured semi-fatally. His life is saved by the doctors putting her organs into him. Now he wakes up and he is unable to eat food. It tastes revolting and makes him want to puke.

A sign that he’s a zombie. He craves blood constantly. Yet another sign. He is taken in by a coffee shop run by zombies called Anteiku. Passing himself off as a human, he learns more about himself at the café and the increasing number of zombie attacks on humans. As he learns more, he encounters more and more zombies, and cue the entrance of Shuu Tsukiyama.

Shuu is about as well… he is just… it is that kind of thing where… ok he is just plain weird. He kind of reminds me, at first, when you first meet him, as one of those weird aloof characters. Maybe he is a tsundere? Nah. Then he takes some turns and it suddenly feels like Tokyo Ghoul is not a zombie action show anymore and it is a yaoi.

Then when “Gourmet,” his nickname, can’t find a way to have Kaneki and kill him too like he wants, he goes CRAZY. It’s like, instead of being a few French fries short of a happy meal, he is all the French fries short of it… you know what, Shuu is not even that menu item anymore. He is a whole nother level of WTF.

He wants to, at one point, eat Kaneki while Kaneki eats someone else. He always stays in the picture, obsessed with Kaneki, but his trademark is going to the bathroom. There he takes a handkerchief out of a zip lock bag and places it over his mouth. Restricting his breathing to only breathing through this handkerchief stained with Kaneki’s blood, he screams “tres bien” in a very high voice. What kind of autoerotic asphyxiationis this nonsense… NO.

Hope you like the series!
