Mirai Nikki Redial
I thought at first that this might be a comedy, with parodies of the strange behaviors of the various characters; and maybe not a very good one, since we get the all-too-common girls-fondling-each-other's-breasts gag. But a story comes together, as Yuno (this time quite sane and a star student) in one of the alternate universes gets strange feelings of Deja-vu. It seems that the original ending of Mirai Nikki was too sad, so an alternate take had to be made; fortunately, the bizarre premise of MN makes that relatively easy. I noticed that whereas the original series was sloppy and confusing, this OVA was skillfully done. The ending is moving and cathartic, which just goes to show that even in the original show, something must have been done right.
