It's easier to understand when watching it, or reading the manga. (Not that I have done the latter beyond reading up to the point the anime is at to see if anything was cut.) Basically it's a survival game between the 12 people, with the first and second diary holders being the two characters we see the story being told from.
The one from the video might make more sense:
----------
Second year middle school student, Amano Yukiteru, finds it difficult to make friends. He only thinks of himself as a bystander, just someone who watches the world go by, writing down everything he sees in his cell phone diary.
Tormented by solitude, Yukiteru begins to imagine things like a friend called Deus ex Machina, who is apparently the Lord of Time and Space. Seeing Yukiteru's miserable state, Deus gives him a new ability. His diary now spells out events that will happen in the near future, updated daily, for the next 90 days. This gift inadvertently forces Yukiteru to participate in a game where the winner — the last one alive — will become Deus' successor. Should Yukiteru lose the diary he will be dead, and there are quite a few other scrupulous players participating in this very deadly game.
----------
It's about this boy named Yukiteru Amano (a translation of "Jupiter"), nicknamed Yukkii who is very shy and spends most of his time recording observations around him in a diary on his cell phone. He also has an "imaginary" friend named Deus Ex Machina, who decides to hold a game where Yukkii and 11 others will compete to win his title from him using their diaries. He modifies their diaries with special powers that help them predict the future according to how they used them before he modified them.
Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it), he has attracted the attention of Yuno Gasai (a translation of "Juno", and apparently when read it says "My Wife, Yuno"), who really, really wants to be his girlfriend at any cost. She is the second diary holder, and her diary contains nothing but observations of what will happen to Yukkii in the future, which works nicely with Yukkii's (as mentioned before, his now records observations about the future thanks to Deus, but it holds no information about what happens to himself, other than a DEAD END flag going up when another diary holder is trying to kill him). So together they form an alliance of sorts.
It just started airing in October, so right now only 8 episodes are out subbed. (9 by either tonight or tomorrow)
