Or ignorant -- seeing as this genre has become infamous for having those tropes in their games. (Not trying to generalize either, just pointing that out.)

Could be both even.
and not this genre only, Casual VN's, harems, etc. fortunately most people don't mind and choose to ignore what doesn't fit their taste and let those who like this kind of stuff enjoy it.

Story
Komori Yui is a normal high school girl, who often experiences supernatural phenomena. She moves to a school for celebrities "Reitei Academy", which has a frightening rumor of vampires. Yui borrows a room in her relative's house and begins to live with six handsome but sadistic boys. Later, she realizes they are not human...

I don't joke when it comes to nukige. And nope, I meant as in "regular" nukige, aimed at males. I'm not familiar with otome stuff, didn't even know they had otome nukige as well.
holycrap dude, i just...
You do know that there is a normal anime with the same title right? Sorry man, i just thought you were joking because that's the first thing that came to mind lol.
Actually the title is not the same. It only looks the same because in romanization many people just ignore the long sound of "u". In this case, the nukige has shojo which is "virgin" while the normal anime has shoujo which is "girl", but very often you see people writing "shojo" even though the Japanese is "shoujo". Hence the confusion.
So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old?

I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them?

I wonder how long people would put up with this.

As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series.

I'm glad the 'Reverse Harems' are on the rise. About time the girls get some dominating audience from the industry...BUT looking back at all the otome-game-become-animes most are a total flop because the heroin is so boring - Amnesia, Arcana Famiglia, Hiiro no Kakera, Hakuouki....i could go on

In the end i tend to ignore the heroin and just do what everyone else does and goggle over the bishies :3

Somehow I knew this would happen eventually. After seeing parts of the game, I can say that I'm excited for this. I just hope that they keep the seiyuu from the game and get someone kick-ass to voice Yui.

I have faith that they can adapt this without butchering the game.

Have you watched Arcana, Hiiro and Amnesia? They did quite a bit of butchering I think.
And considering that the heroine in Amnesia was given such a weak voice...I bet they'll get an even weaker voice for Yui.

Hope it won't end up as Vampire Knight.

I'm itching to know whether it's a TV anime or an OVA.

Nah. Spring? No way. If it's a TV anime, then earliest we'll get is summer 2013 or maybe even Fall 2013.

Oh my, that's something to look forward too because Kon-sama is in it and it's bloody. I love both and a combination of it and a lot of other seiyuu's I really like, too. I really really want them to keep the cast because that's all a bunch of talented boys that.
I also like the soundtrack to the game, and hope they keep it for the anime.

I guess I'll give it a shot. I dunno, I keep trying to watch otome game adaptations and can't seem to even get through the first episode in most of them. :/

I really love the artwork though.

I actually like otome anime and reverse harem no matter how bad the production or ending will be. But hey that's just me^^

I really like the character designs, reminds me of Amnesia. Can't wait for this one (vamps, bishies, reverse harem!)! I'm just hoping the girl isn't soft voiced and very timid like the heroine in Amnesia and more like Yuuki in Vampire Knight >.<

Besides, AMNESIA has like 15k followers right now and look how it's gonna sell.

Guess you haven't played the game. No they're not all the same. They're pretty different. I've played the game, so...

Just because they're all sadists doesn't mean they're all the same person... =.=

Yui is actually a pretty good heroine (depending on the route) and you people who think this is a simple game, it's not. It's really creepy, and has a twisted story line; take it from someone who's played it.

I suppose they're going to do Ayato's route, huh? I WANTED SHUU OR TSUNBARU BUT OKAY THAT'S FINE TOO.

All characters have reasons as to why they ended up the way they did. I say you give it a try (I agree Amnesia wasn't as good as I thought it'd be). I don't want to get my hopes up TOO high or I'll be let down like Amnesia let me down, but I'm quite excited.

I never thought in a million years that Rejet would try to adapt Dialovers into an anime. And it's coming. I'm excited as all get out, but I'm worried about how the anime is going to turn out.

Same here, it's not like the plot can be ignored... and that involves some pretty scary things I don't want to imagine in anime format *shudder*

It has to do with the story, but I think there was no reason for Reiji. :O

Probably OTL Too bad his route is the only one in which I bothered to do all the endings, then I only played the prologue of some, but it was so disturbing and sick (Omg, Laito's prologue... X_X) I couldn't bring myself to continue anymore... ~.~ But I heard Shuu's und Subaru's routes are the best, so I might continue them sometime after all.

When I listened to Laito's drama CDs I thought he would be the typical pervy kind of character but when I played the game... he kind of surpassed my expectations. I really hope we don't do his route. His Ends aren't even that great (well maybe because I just began to dislike him at one point). But yeah Shuu and Subarun's are the best.They're just so cute I can't even. Shuu's is pretty angsty and Subarun's just plain cute. I suggest you play their routes, because really they're just so aksflkasdf =///= I loved them the best.

Ayato... meh. He had his reasons, I guess. But I didn't LOVE him. I think I liked Kanato better than him XDDD because he had a more legit reason to be so fucked up.

according to my otome-maniac of a friend, nope, it's just fanservice i guess, or something like that, sadistic heroes are becoming popular lately, go japan lol.

Yeah, it is honestly uncommon to get 2k followers in half a day, not even a day, But then again, 2k isn't really much as a total, and as you said, Amnesia has 14k followers and it didn't sell that well, 2k people is like 0.0002% of the population, and the otaku culture makes up like, nearly 20% of japan. but the whole point is that 2k followers in half a day is impressive, but usually the rate of followers drop after a certain amount.
still, i'm impressed.

EDIT: holycrap it's almost 3k now lol

Hmm, well I don't really remember if they explain why they're sadists. I guess it's a fetish maybe. I think they ARE explained for a couple of routes. But each of the guys have issues and they have legitimate reasons for having them. Except Reiji. He's really such a bastard and has no reason for anything. You'll see why (if you choose to watch it XD)

Yeah, it's more a fetish than anything for most of the time, but i read some review about some other otome games (Aromarie's specifically) that tells the background story of a hero and why he's the way he is (Sadistic, crazy psycho lol).

Yeah i think i'll give it a shot, i mostly get involved in otome stuff because of my friend, since she consumes them like crazy, and asks me sometimes to look up some for her, but i did watch Hakuoki and Arcana, this also has an interesting sypnosis so i'm checking it out, i'd like to see this reiji dude lol

Apparently a sequel of the game is going to be released, it is called DIABOLIK LOVERS ~MORE,BLOOD~. http://www.otomate.jp/dialover_mb/

I wonder which route they are gonna do for this anime adaptation. Maybe they should do an anime original story like Utapri, it seems to be more successful and appealing rather than following the original materials.

Yeah it does explain it for a couple of characters (e.g. Ayato, Kanato, Shuu... (I guess?)) but really the rest don't have a reason. Subarun's not a sadist and Laito well... drifts from a do-M to a do-S constantly. Reiji is the real sadist, no reasons behind any of his shit.

But yes please give it a shot. XD I love the otoge and I'm going to put my faith in Rejet and those animating DiaLovers.
