I just wrote a view for this anime and I was wondering, what are you opinions on Diabolik lovers? Was it good? was it bad? I want to know.

it's a show based 100% (and i mean 100%, not exaggerating here) on fanservice, based off the game, which is 100% fanservice. so watching it will only give you that.

you can't really judge a fanservice anime, so it was good? i guess? since it gave what it promised.

The main thing I learned in that anime is how to say 'little bitch' and 'pancake' in Japanese.

It's literally the worst reverse harem to exist, unequivocally
No challenger will ever come along to beat its awfulness

I like some fucked up shit, but this in its entirety had me internally screaming "why" while externally holding back urges to sock my laptop into oblivion

if Vampire Knight was the twilight of female animu pandering, this is the 50 shades of gray…

lol, I wouldn't even call it 50 shades a grey. At least 50 shades had some romance, diabolik lovers have 0% romance. I wouldn't even call it a reverse harem.

Even by bishounen pandering standards it's weak.

Shows like Free! and Haikyuu!! have good characters and plot that keeps people engaged, Dialovers has neither. It exists merely to attract female attention, but it even epically fails at that.

Like who greenlit this idea in the first place? Who decided to give it a second game / season?

The pity is that of all things, Dialovers, at least, in its original game incarnation, has solid character designs, voice acting and a base that can be worked with. The pity is that it's executed so poorly and in such a way that seems like it involved the laziest effort that it just comes across as a sad waste.

Conceptually, it's not the worst thing ever. But the way it's written is so fucking bad.

Well, if you don't think of it as a romance, it's pretty interesting to say the least. However, the short episodes and 12-episode season don't allow a lot of space for characterization or plot. I think that the game is way better, as it gives each character more attention and is generally more satisfying.

But yeah, it's not a romance. Yui has to deal with a lot of abuse from the brothers and is basically dehumanized; she deserves better. I liked her in the game a lot more, though, because she puts up a bit more resistance and realistic reactions.

I don't think it's the length of the episodes or the season that makes the anime bad. There's anime with even shorter lenghts with great characters and development. It's the poor execution. I did research on the games and they sounded great and the characters had great development and personalities. But the anime is just a horrible attempt at incorporating that.

Hmm. Well, that's true. I'm in the midst of playing the games right now, which are way better. ;_; It's too bad the anime was a disappointment.

I really liked this anime. It's the only reverse harem, I have watched so far that not boring as hell, and has interesting male characters. It was 9/10 for me.

Art and designs are pretty, and I guess you can't expect much story since it's based on otome game, but honestly, the way they are treating her made me want to throw up. No girl should be turned on by this, to be honest.

I recommend you to play the game if you understand Japanese. The anime is not that great, the game is awesome. You can choose any character you like plus good or bad ending.

The game is more popular than the anime.

It’s not bad considering the fact that it was based off a video game. But tbh unless u like watching characters constantly getting assaulted and hurt then this would not be a good anime ( ̄^ ̄)ゞ

This is so true. I think the series itself is good for what it is made for (fanservice), unfortunately it wasn't my cup of tea.

It's terrible. The plot is bad and makes no sense at times. The girl can't be more stupid. The only good thing are the handsome guys but wait, their personalities are horrible and abusive and all they do is suck the girl's blood every single episode. So probably there's nothing good about this anime. I enjoyed it for the simple reason that I love watching bad things just to I laugh at their stupidity.


                    I'm not lying.
                    I'd never lie.....
                    Perhaps
