If you're looking for anime similar to Future Diary OVA, you might like these titles.
22-year-old Ryouta is an unemployed good-for-nothing who spends his days living at home and playing Btooom, a wildly popular online game that's sold over three million copies worldwide. Alongside other teammates, Ryouta battles it out with others using powerful bombs and sonar that can reveal hidden enemies, and his dedication has earned him the title of Japan's top player. But soon, Ryouta's pastime becomes a terrifying reality, as he and many others are dropped onto a tropical island and forced to play Btooom – but this time for real. Now, he and the rest must fight to the death by whatever means necessary, as the only way to win this deadly game is by killing seven of the other players.

Both involve a twisted game, straight survival of the fittest. Both the main characters are suddenly put in a "be or be killed" situation, where they are forced to fight for their lives. But in order to survive, you have to kill. Both the main characters have something a little special about themselves (experience and brains) that helps them survive, and make friends/allies along the way. NOT THE MIRAI NIKKI OVAS, THE ACTUAL SHOW.
both are a survival game where players have to fight to the death using a speical devices. each of the players in the games have some sort of bad past or did something for them to be selected for the game
The Mirai Nikki is really good show.
The Btoom is declaring to be really good show at the moment.
Both are survival games, with blood, children, murders and spice of mystery I could recommend.
Both are survival games in which you have to kill the other players to survive. The main protagonist doesn't want to fight, but is obligated to.
Both shows pit people against one other, forcing them all to fight to the death. The only way for them to survive is to play the game using the tools they're granted and any skills they have to come out on top.
They share common themes and Character arcs.Although Mirai Nikki feels a little bit more well done, and complete, Btoom has lots of plus points and is a genuinely enjoyable story and the characters are a letter less 1 dimensional.
I agree with everyone above but I think it's important to add the romantic buildup. Beautiful, dyanmic relationships are built amidst all the chaos and drama in both shows. Not sure if I'm the only one paying attention to this because I'm part of the older crowd (25) but I almost want to say that if it wasn't for the couples in each respective anime coming together, they probably wouldn't make it too far in either story line.
Okay, both these anime are based on a situation where a group of people have to fight each other for their lives. Both have romance in them, also I'd like to add spoiler free , that both anime have satisfying romance elements. Not just silly no conclusion no choice etc. Both awesome anime as well! Also I'd also like to add that both the main characters are bad ass in their own ways.
26 years ago, something terrible happened in a middle school’s third year classroom. A popular, talented student named Misaki suddenly died, and the ramifications of that incident have caused each third year class since then to live in fear. It is now 1998, and Kouichi Sakakibara has just transferred into the notorious classroom, curious about the mysterious secret that his peers are hiding from him. He’s drawn to one enigmatic girl named Mei Misaki, a quiet student who wears an eye patch and warns him about getting involved with her, and continues to seek her out against the pleas of his classmates. And that’s when people begin to violently die...
Both have similar feelings with viewer disturbance from first observance.
Future Diary's appeal comes from wanting to know more about characters, as does Another's characters.
Both shows have similar styles and appealing artwork.
Both anime are really good. Another is much more horror one and more mysterious. Both anime have interesting ends that you cannot predict easylly.

These animes are much similar. Both animes revolve around mysterious diaries which is affecting the nature of the bearer. In death note Light(bearer of diary) want ultimate peace in the world and in Mirai nikki yukki want to make world a normal world for everyone
Both of those Anime are very psychological and very awesome. Both characters are loosing there mind after some time. Death Note and Mirai Nikki are one of my favourite Anime and they have so much potential. If you haven't watched and really like one of those Anime, I can just recommend it. (Though, Mirai Nikki is more Horror based than Death Note)

good story about psycho girlfriend and stuff. much action and story twists and turns. both are worth the time
Both include the "Yandere" thing. I personally think that if you watched and liked Mirai Nikki you will like School Days and if you watched and liked School Days you will like Mirai Nikki.
Beautiful high school girl named Satou Matsuzaka believes she has finally found the meaning of love when she begins living with a younger girl.

When Satou is with Shio, she experiences a very sweet feeling, which she understands as love. In order to protect that feeling, Satou is willing to do anything, even if it means committing murder.

Both anime’s have a pink hair yandere girl that will do anything for love including committing crimes. Future Diary has more action in it, but still recommend if you liked Happy Sugar Life.
Both of the animes involve someone who will go to extreme lengths to protect their love... both main characters also have an insane side, if you enjoy the horror psychological genres then you'll like both. They also can be a bit disturbing at times so only watch if you are comfortable with that.

If you like shows about a group of people going through some survival games these 2 shorts are for you. Both involve devices for the "games" that will help each person make their way through the trials. Both these shorts give you a taste of what is to come for later material so if you like what you see you'll know to look forward to more later.
For Kouta and Yuka, finding the bloody naked young girl on the beach would change their lives forever, for better or for worse. Unable to speak or function as a normal human being, she is named Nyu by the duo, and taken into their home in an effort to save her. But what neither teenager knows is that this innocent young girl is actually a killing machine -- an experiment gone terribly wrong -- and it is only a matter of time before the murderer in her awakens again...

Not as intense as Elfen Lied but still a great choise to watch them both. They both involve unstable female protagonists.
In the year 2010, on a day called ‘Careless Monday', ten missiles hit the cities of Japan; miraculously, there are no casualties and the event quickly fades from public memory. Some time later, Saki Morimi decides to visit Washington, DC on her graduation trip to America, but that day begins a series of bizarre events. After getting into trouble with the police, she's rescued by a young man who is completely naked save for a gun in one hand and an even stranger item in the other - a phone credited with 8 billion electronic yen and a female voice on the other end called Juiz who will fulfill his every wish. Having no recollection of his past and calling himself ‘Akira Takizawa', the young man accompanies Saki back to Japan in the hopes of discovering who he is. Akira's enigma quickly proves fascinating and Saki decides to help him rather than reunite with her family; but what neither realizes is that Akira is embroiled in a dark game of life and death linked to the Careless Monday missiles. Has Saki just made a terrible mistake, and can Akira unravel his own mystery before they both lose everything?

Takumi is a reclusive otaku who wants nothing more than to be left alone to play online games and watch anime. He only attends the minimum necessary to pass his classes, and rarely leaves his cramped room except to purchase the newest figurines. One evening, while Takumi is chatting online with his friend "Grim," a stranger called "Shogun" joins the channel and, after "Grim" leaves, posts a series of disturbing photographs depicting a man impaled to a wall with metal stakes. The following day, Takumi is horrified when he wanders into an alley and once again sees Shogun’s images – but this time, the gruesome scene is reality. From then on, Takumi sees the world through a new set of eyes; imaginary delusions meld with reality, and he isn't sure who he can trust. With suspicions and confusion at every turn, Takumi must struggle to determine what's going on - but most importantly, whose eyes are those eyes?

Similar in some ways, Nimi is very similar to Yuno and it has some other similarities that are a spoiler
When two people die at the same time, they're sent to a place that's neither heaven nor hell: a lavish bar between worlds where the stakes are high and the rules are simple: if you win you live again, if you die you're gone for good. Decim is the bartender charged with serving the souls who enter Quindecim. He may make a mean cocktail, but his true profession is to play the role of arbiter: a judge who determines whether or not a soul is worthy of reincarnation. To aid in his judgment, the bar's patrons are forced to play simple games laced with sadistic twists designed to bring their true natures to light. To Decim, judgment has always been black and white - that is until he meets a mysterious young woman whose fate seems impossible to decide. His indecision shakes the very foundation of the games and raises the biggest question of all: who is fit to judge the dead?

both very interesting and dark. Also have a good twist. Without spoiling mirai nikki becomes bery confusing especially because of the girl whilst death parade confuses the characters playing. Both worth the watch
