St.Peter: Ah jeez God, you’re such a nice guy. Giving that humble Irish anime blogger the anime of his dreams. You truly are an all-loving being.
God: What? No I’m not. That anime is going to be rubbish. The writer I chose only wrote one or two episodes of Geass, he won’t be able to produce anything other than a lazy knock-off. Besides, have you seen the crap Noitamina have been producing lately? I can’t wait to see the look on that bloggers face when he sees what he thought would be a jewel encrusted crown turns out to be a pile of rubbish.
St. Peter: Hahahahaha
God: Hohohohohoho
St.Peter: Hahahaha yeah God that’s kind of a dick move
God: Hmmmm, you could be right Peter. You know, I’ll make it up to the lad. I’ll fix some minds to create the perfect anime for him.
St. Peter: Oh, so you’re going to create that 26 episode TV series by Studio Rikka?
God: Don’t be silly Peter, you know that’s never going to happen. I’ll create a 26 episode over the top thriller/horror anime, except make it come from a place he doesn’t expect. Now, which animation studio will I descend upon…hmmm…
*Some time later, in a office belonging to a small animation studio in Japan*
God: Greetings mortals! I have come to you with a most noble of tasks. You are to cease creating worthless animation projects and work on the greatest piece of television entertainment known to man. I shall bestow upon you vocabulary skills to render Shakespeare speechless, a hand to create artistic works that would make Michelangelo weep, and the story telling capabilities that would make even Kentaro Miura throw down his pen. Are you ready?
Asread staff member 1: durrrr?
God: Ummm, I said, are you ready to make this great anime?
Asread staff member 1: Duh make anime?
God: Yes, make anime. Great anime. Do you understand?
Asread staff member 1: …make more Shuffle?
God: Yes. Wait, I mean-
Asread staff member 1: MAKE MORE SHUFFLE!
God: No, bad man. No more Shuffle
Asread Staff Member 1: *turns to the rest of the room* hey guys, we’re going to make more Shuffle!
Asread Staff Member 2: Wooh Shuffle!
God: No, stop, no please stop
Asread Staff Member 3: MOAR SHUFFLE!
Asread Staff Member 4: om nom nom my shoes are tasty
Asread Staff Member 2: We should make it a recap of the last season. We’ll call it ~Memories of Memories~
God: No don’t do that, please stop-
Asread Staff Member 1: That’s a brilliant idea!
Asread Staff Member 3: MOAR SHUFFLE!!!
Asread Staff Member 4: om nom nom socks
God: Oh dear, this may be harder than I thought…
*Some time later, back in heaven*
St. Peter: So, how did it go?
God: Well, I think I got it. There might be some hiccups though. I used up my ‘budget creation’ power when I made Guilty Crown, so it will lack that. And there may be some down episodes where the main character spends his time getting really embarrassed by his mother. But I think it may have worked…
The Cart Driver 
Yeah. . .
Fair word of warning since you talked about the “ludicrous plot conveniences” and “turn off you brain” logic in the first few episodes: This arc has probably the loopiest logic in the whole series. Its not BAD per say, its rather quite entertaining but I would not think to hard about whats going to happen over the next episode or two. Although the fact that the antagonist this time is a toddler may have led you to pick up on that. I’m just gonna have to assure people who haven’t already read the manga that nothing quite as ludicrous as what you are about to see happens again.
Tl;DL: IT GETS BETTER I SWEAR
Oh thank god it wasn’t just me who thought this episode was a pile of shit.
It wasn’t that bad…
LOL. Next week is just insane, no way it doesn’t turn out insane. IT GETS BETTER I SWEAR, except actually it just gets more insane (for manga readers: concrete doesn’t work that way, lol!).
This episode is dumb and lame but at least it has good fridge logic.
Why is Yuki trying to hide Yuno from his mom? B/C he knows his mom will be so thrilled he has a girlfriend that it’ll be even harder to keep his distance from Yuno.
The concrete is what gets you? Not the Cherry Tomato incident?
Yeah, b/c concrete doesn’t work that way, and everyone — author, Yuno, etc. — should know better.
Cherry Tomato I thought was intentionally ludicrous, as a bit of a nod-and-wink to the stuff we can’t talk about without spoilers.
This is all Baka-Raptor’s fault. At least God smote his eyes for his sins.
I saw this episode coming and was hoping they would edit it to be less annoying, but I can’t fault them for staying faithful.
God sure is unforgiving
Maybe you should ask Santa Claus to make Guilty Crown better.
And maybe he’ll just laugh in his face and give him a ton of coal
I think I’ll just keep asking for that Studio Rikka anime
That is pretty fun. Personally, I liked the episode because while not as good as Episode 3, I liked how the happy stuff contrasted with…Yuno. Plus, Yuki carrying his mom out of his room was funny.
I meant to say that your post was funny.
Nice, you should make more posts in fiction god mode. Maybe each season one. At any rate, I’m probably the only one who tought the CG in this episodes was rather bad quality.
And I’m gonna stop with this post to make up for my spamming of the last one.
I just hope it doesn’t bite you back again like Guilty Crown.
There’s a limit to what even God can do when working with asread
I actually liked this episode.
Also, I like your writing.
I concur with the statement above.
Also I would note that Yuno frightened me more in this episode then any other anime character in this time-space continuum.
This is not a review! It’s just a bias praising!
Oh wait
Scratch bias, it’s actually GOOD
You lost me at humble Irish anime blogger…
Okay so the title says this post is about Mirai Nikki, but instead it’s about Guilty Crown and Shuffle?
Wat
This post honestly made me laugh out loud.
+1 internets for you.
This is the fumiest shit I’ve read in a while.
mmm…all i got from this episode was yuno is a crazier bitch than i thought & his mom just dodged a bullet for being a dumbass.
