thepath said: 1st episode is better than what I expected. I thought this going to be a crap like brother conflict. I didn't expect it to have S&M The characters look very handsome. Bitch-chan looks much cuter than what I expected (100x times cuter than the girl from brother conflict) Hey.. not everyone is cute D:... i really liked brocon XD And yeah.. it's S&M. expect it to get worse if it is similar to the game XD Hope they lessen it a bit.. |
| Bishies. Ikemen. ~! >///< (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻....... (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧......(づ｡◕‿‿◕｡)づ |
| Wow...talk about all the guys being pretty much rotten to the core. Except for the eldest. Forget his name. Give it a few more episodes to see what it's about but if it keeps up with this "abuse" theme I'm gonna have to give up on it I think. Like how the clock time defines the episode count. |
| Well, this is kind of terrible, some vampire guys attemping to rape a girl? wowza. The new seiyuu is doing a nice job but the guy who says bitch-chan like every 5 seconds is really annoying. Stop adapting otome games. STOP. |

| Please understand. |
| I feel like the only one who isn't a rapist here is Shuu... Maybe Subaru will show a kinder side as he hasn't tried to rape her either. |

Cerian said: It's finally time to find out whether I'm into S&M or not. Lol i know that feel. Anywhooo, this was a hit for me. Yui's voice is great, the character designs are interesting, art is beautiful, animation is smooth not to mention a sprinkling of 3-D effects (and in the fist episode)! The plot looks interesting if a bit cliche. Looking forward to this! |
| *facepalm* |
| well i obviously liked it lol. (Diabolik Lovers bias) i had low expectations since it's an otome game anime but it exceeded my expectatons. Yui actually sounded like a normal girl and the animation wasn't terrible |
| at first i was like "ehh? another Amnesia.. aww let's watch..." then I was like "WTH!? WHAT AM I WATCHING? AND WHY DO I LIKE IT!?" so yup.. basically I really don't know why i really like it.. it would be amazing hentai.. I want it to be amazing hentai.. and I'm a giril.. *going to school brainwashed* |
| I loved the voice acting, ngl. But the rest was really painful to watch ;_; I'm still giving it a try though, hope it changes my mind. |
| I didn't have a lot of expectations from it, but I can say that I actually enjoyed it. Actually enjoy is a pretty strong word, it was just an ok episode so far. I mean, it actually keeps going with the game storyline so far and it kind of happened a lot in only one episode. Compared to the other animes that have a heroine with a few potential boyfriends, this actually was good. Not the S&M part, though. I was afraid that the heroine will be dumb and couldn't defend herself, but I was wrong. So yeah, I can say that I like the heroine. About the brothers though. Well, I can't say much cause they need to be just how they were in the game. Super psycho idiots. And they are. Which I can't say if it's a good thing or a bad thing. It's a good thing cause in a way it keeps up with the game and it's a bad thing cause... yeah, you already know why. Last thing I'm gonna say is that I love Yui's voice! |
| Lol. I guess you could like this if you don't take it too seriously. I actually somewhat enjoyed this first episode even if nothing really happened except the one dude calling the "Heroine" "Bitch-chan" But my gawd dem bishies! |
| Hmm... i'm agreeing with most of the posts here. The voice acting was very good.. 15 minutes is a bit short for my taste but looks like i'll keep watching. |
| Just too much unintentional comedy for one episode. Lolol MoonxArtemis said: I only care about who is that other Lady on the other side of the window. A mystery, love it. I agree :D Can't wait for the actual plot to be revealed (I guess there is one) and to know why was the girl sent there in the first place. |
| I already strongly dislike half of these characters. But that may be better than feeling nothing at all towards them. Good job, I guess? Not sure how the heroine will come to love some of those bastards, though. Except if she's a masochist. |
| It was actually the only drama cd i've ever listened to.. And i much preferred it to the anime. It might be because i'm not a fan of shoujo anime in the first place, and as much as i do like production IG, i wasn't a fan of the animation or the way their hair was coloured. I was really surprised to see it was done by IG. ... but i'll prob give it 1 or 2 more episodes chance since i quite like a few of the seiyuus. |
| I get the feeling they may have bitten off more than they can chew! |
greebo said: I get the feeling they may have bitten off more than they can chew! First, this. Lol Anyways, I wasn't sure what to expect when I saw this, but it surprised me a bit. I'll keep it going since I've seen far worse otome game-based animes. |
 |
| well I wanna see what happens raito's "bitch-chan" is annoying |
| I originally was not even thinking of watching this, but I took the chance. It's not too bad, love the art and the main chick is pretty damn cute. Well, for 15 minutes, this is a keeper for me... for now, at least. We'll see how this goes. |
 |
| well , I really like it :) Everytime when it comes down to vampires I expect great things :) |

It's SUPPOSED to be this way. It's just the type of game it is. Not all otome games are going to be soft and fluffy and happy. This is one where it isn't. Get used to it. But you can't expect casual fans to know about this. How did they know about Rejet? I KNOW it's supposed to be this way but I find it completely understandable that many people are turned off by this. They probably won't get used to it. That's why so many are dropping it by the first episode. I think what causes all these negative comments and hate towards this anime is because most people assume DIABOLIK LOVERS started off as an Otome Game. I agree that almost all otome game's I know of aren't this extreme, heck they are almost always fluffy typical stuff. What people don't know ( as it's unfortunatly not mentioned much..) is that the Otome Game itself is an adaption of the drama CD's, wich in my opinion, makes a huge difference. Also to the people who are like: "Omaigodz, what is this SM stuff" "Omaigod, what kind of rape is that" "The licking part was disturbing!" ... What part of "SADISTIC VAMPIRE" combined with "REVERSED HAREM" don't you understand? I really dislike people who don't pay attention to these things and then rate the series badly, comment about how much they hated it or write bad reviews.. =_= It's very rude.. |

| Yes, wow, this board. I am astonished by the amount of times "rape" or "rapist" were mentioned in this thread. I am under the impression that most, if not all, of those who labeled the show as "rapefest" don't have the slightest clue of what VAMPIRE means. They suck blood off people. People usually aren't very inclined to allow that without putting a fight, so said vampires force their way. Surprising, I know. Would you guys label Twilight characters as rapists? lmao fricking dracula, the biggest rapist of all time, who'd guess that I think it's not until far into the story that there's actual sexual abuse of some kind. VAMPIRES LICK AND BITE AND SUCK BLOOD OFF PEOPLE, it's not supposed to be sexy, you're not supposed to like it. It's supposed to be revolting and disgusting that they'd treat her like that. This isn't comedy or your typical shoujo story about falling in love. It's basically a story about a bunch of miserable people and their miserable lives together. Or maybe no story should be allowed to have issues? It's all happiness and sunshine, always. Come on, damn it. |

How is disliking something considered rude? By what I've seen most of the negative comments have been pretty polite, even the example you have given - "The licking part was disturbing!". You cannot know how exactly the show is going to be just from the synopsis. And maybe some of them were curious even after reading it, so they gave it a shot. The fact that they didn't like it and decided to leave a comment explaining why doesn't make them in any way rude, they just have a different opinion. Everyone has the right to comment, rate and write reviews, no matter if they are positive or not. Yeah, maybe it's a bit early to judge since we're only 1 episode in, but you still can't blame anybody for not liking it. If I've misunderstood what you were saying, I'm sorry. |
| I don't usually post in threads more than once but I have to say something. To the people that hated the first episode and dropped it, what the hell were you expecting? |
| Despite it only being about half an average anime episode length, it did a good job setting itself up for intrigue. Obviously, I'm in it for the cute boys. (Mum always told me I fell for the crazy ones...) So I'm not expecting much from it - aside from girl tingles, and seeing as it's probably only going to be about a dozen or so episodes I'll more than likely watch the whole thing through. I saw a comment on Crunchyroll about how this person found the show revolting, and hated every character. First of all, I can understand that the characters all do seem sadistic and "rapey", but that's obviously the point. Fan service for those girls who are into that. So personally, I don't see it as anything more obscene than your average harem show that has a group of girls rubbing themselves all over the main character within the first episode. Have I picked a presumed favorite? Not quite. But if I simply had to choose on first impressions, I'm all over Subaru - the youngest brother. Oh yeah, I forgot... they're all brothers (of some sort). So give me some of that messed up Subaru x Kanato! >__> Anyway, the first episode didn't really establish too much, so I'm looking forward to the next. Although I doubt they'll reveal anything about that mysterious purple haired girl who made an appearance for at least another 6 episodes. My end of the episode question... Why did the nickname "Pancake" bother her way more than "Bitch-chan" ?! |
| Why did the nickname "Pancake" bother her way more than "Bitch-chan" ?! Haha. I just realized this. You're right. Why does it bother her more and also bother her when she is obviously trapped in a house with a group of men she does not know? Any way, I have no idea how anyone can call this "rape". Really? It's sadistic vampires but not rape. They only lick her and talk about sucking her blood, like just about every other vampire anime out there. I'm very disappointed in the 15 min episodes and also the quality of the animation. I think I'll wait and watch all the episodes in one go so they seem more like a movie. |
| Spending more time thinking about the fictional world than reality. |
| i'm pretty sure the title is not my lovely angel lovers or something lol Sir_Lexa said: But my gawd dem bishies! |
 |
| Well, I guess I call this an okay episode, a reverse harem with vampires could be a problem with the girl. Those guys making bad remarks to the girl makes her more uncomfortable and being chased by them until that ending scene. |
Starlet79 said: I'm very disappointed in the 15 min episodes and also the quality of the animation. I think I'll wait and watch all the episodes in one go so they seem more like a movie. I thought the animation was pretty nice TBH. Better than Brothers Conflict for sure. |
| wow... this is really annoying, but it was actually decent |
| Well, what can I say? Hmm...First of all, Yui is cute. I find it cute Ayato calling her chichinashi(pancake). Plus she has a nice and sweet personality that I've never found in other reverse harems. It also shows she has a interesting back story, like discovering that she's really adopted and then her heart aches when she saw a long haired woman, which could possibly mean she's not a normal human at all. It doesn't look like she'll fall in love with one of them...I think. |
| I like how this makes me kind of uncomfortable enough that I actually feel something like what Yui feels about things so its easy to see how awful that actually would be to be in that situation. Unsure on the art. Something seems off about it. Sometimes it looks good to me and i like the style but other times it looks unusually flat and soulless and there is that misplaced use of 3d objects that made me motion sick slightly and I NEVER get motion sick. |
| I actually liked this in a campy/creepy way. |
| It was ok. OST was good and I liked the fact that the main heroine had more common sense than other heroines lol. And it kind of reminded me of Amnesia The Dark Descent |
 |
| Having read spoilers about the game, I was totally blown away with the first episode, lol. I actually sensed the creepiness (not necessarily feeling actually creeped out since it's hard for an anime to do that) but yeah. The scenery, the sound track, the pacing, character introduction, all of those really fit in with the mood. Plus, the heroine. Omergod. I expected a total dormat like everyone else, another Amnesia main lead but gosh, she was actually competent, lol. Except for the stupid tripping-scrapping-knee part, everything about her was bearable. I hope the anime maintains this level of competency and if it does, I'll start watching it as an anime instead of thinking of it as a crack anime. ;D |
| Will try to continue watching this for Shuu. |

| I just cant stand that guy calling her a bitch... idk what type of "cute compliment" that can possibly be in Japan.. but I just find that damn offensive in the english language v___v and no I cant convert the definition in my mind to a female dog x___x v_V |
| GOD DAMNIT I HATE THE 15 MINUTES EPISODES T_T |
| eh I really want to drop this, the "little bitch" part really annoyed me, and how they kept licking her....man, but they're vampires so I give them that xD but, everyone is so negative in the first ep, total downer :( but I have seen some people say this gets a lot better down the line, so I'll watch a few more eps. What I did like however, was using the clock as an episode count :D really neat |

If I've misunderstood what you were saying, I'm sorry. +1 This is what I've been trying to explain on tumblr. Stop blaming people who don't like it. It's rude to the fans, publisher etc. I am not blaming anyone, I just don't understand why people go out of their way to comment here about how they dislike something whils they know there are fans out here who'd read those comments(just like what they do on youtube etc.) If I dislike something, I don't go and say how much I disliked it etc, I just keep it to myself thinking there are people who DID enjoy that "something" and that if I said something they might get "hurt". I know it's the internet and everyone has their own opinions and all but I had expected, atleast on animelist, that people would not just badmouth something they dislike and think of their fellow "anime lovers/otaku" |
