Do you think people are overexagerating?

I'm not saying the game is bad. I'm saying that the anime is shit. Idea factory is so good at making shitty anime(Mars of destruction, etc.) sales does not mean a show is good. I'm sure that the game is fun, but this adaptation was unbelievably poor.

Btw you'll notice that basically only females like this show. It's completely targeted towards women, which isn't a bad thing and makes sense, but that just makes it an awful watch for guys. And no, if you know one or two guys who like this anime it doesn't disputed my point, the vast majority of DL fans are female.

Everyone who say that this anime has rape is either lying or just don't know what rape means. Sucking blood = rape ?! LOL

It is strange how many reviewers saying that this anime has rape, and what is more strange is they are giving it low rating because of the rape. If this has rape then it that means it deserve higher score. This show meant to have a dark theme, and rape will only make it more intense. Aren't people bored with those animes that always have good ending

I really don't understand why many people are so afraid to watch rape ! Why it is ok to watch murder for example, but not rape ? I'm noticed that many people have some kind of rape phobia. In any anime that something like rape or close to it, they will always give a lower score, and complain about it. WHat is the big deal ? It is just an anime.


I also find it strange that this anime is targeting female audience. I thought that males who usually enjoy these types of animes.

Oh my God, this thread is stupid. OP, please, I don't think you know what sexism is. You can't be sexist towards men - it's impossible. It's the same in the respect that you can't be racist towards white people. Yeah, maybe your pathetic "man pride" got hurt, but you haven't been hated on for millennia just because of what you were born as, which women have.

And actually, although I didn't watch the episode, a friend informed me that the Bitch-chan guy with the fedora had an ambiguous rape scene in a church where he bites up the girl's thigh despite her crying out for him to stop. The scene cuts out, but we honestly don't know what happened - he probably raped her, considering the themes. So don't sit there and say there was no "actual rape" in this anime.

Besides that, the rape that I referred to in my review was the biting. Vampire bites have been sexual for years, as someone else in this thread already said. They're obviously being used as a sexual tool here too. A lot of fiction has girls offering their blood up as a romantic gesture, one that makes her moan when she is bitten. Other examples of vampiric sexualisation would be the 1992 movie Bram Stoker's Dracula, where girls are changed into vampires during sex. Here the vampires are approaching the girl in bed, pinning her down, dragging her into baths, doing things to her thighs and breasts. One of them even tells her she needs pleasure from it too - ie, he is gaining sexual pleasure from the act, which is what rapists gain too.

The thing that romanticises this anime most though is that it is aimed at women with the intention of having women desire this girl's situation. It's not just rapey, but continually abusive. A hell of a lot of women suffer abuse - no-one desires that, even in fantasies. That is the problem here. There's a difference between S&M and rape/abuse, which 50 Shades of Grey helped to blur the lines of with its shitty writing, so please don't compare BDSM to this anime. That's really gross and insulting to people that practice it. Getting beaten because you want to be is so very different from abuse. Nobody wants psychological and physical abuse. This anime panders to noncon fantasies specifically, which have much better sources than this pile of abusive shit. It's a bad anime besides any offensive material, which I also said in my review. If you want noncon, at least watch something fucking decent.

Double standard? you wot m8?

This isn't a double standard, Prison school is a parody manga with over the top ecchi and great comedy. The story was never meant to be taken seriously ( the whole premise is crazy like everything else) nor does it ''masquerades it with some ecchi'' the ecchi is not to distract from the abuse the guys have, it's a key part of the manga, it's not just a bonus. I think the manga is brilliant and knows how to make full use of it's ecchi and take it to a whole new level. Making absurd and stupid situations look epic as fuck

Diabolik lovers is taken itself seriously and it's not the first ''rape fantasy'' story that is directed towards women. Otome games are full of those.

This thread is still going? Man I gave birth to something evil here^^. Well my last 2 cents on this is that most people here have heavily flawed logic. You say its bad that rape is glorified in some anime,altough we already said that sucking someones blood in a slighlty sexual way is not rape, but its totally ok an fine when murder is glorified? There are way more anime that glorify murder as something great, way more than DL glorifies abuse, and people dont mind at all, but with rape its like the end of the world happened. You have to get your values straight murder is WAY WAY worse than rape, no matter what feminists say, rape is not the worst thing in the world. Disfiguration and torture with lasting phyisical defects are also worse, but no one bats an eye when those are glorified in anime either. People should stop looking at things with their emotions and not judge things based on how they feel, but look at it objectively. Rape is not as bad as murder or disfiguration/lasting physical defects. Id much rather get raped then getting an limb or one of my 5 senses destroyed or maybe even left paralyzed for the rest of my life. And that should be a conclusion every person thinking at it objectively should take. But people taint their thinking too much by emotions, and thats the only reason I can think of why people are totally ok with glorifing murder and torture/disfiguration but think its the end of the world when S/M bloodsucking which isnt even real rape is glorified. I mean lets be honest she got a bit thrown around and her blood was sucked, objectively speaking nothing much horrible happened to her, aside from the fact of living in constant fear. But physically? Nope she hardly got hurt at all.

The show is still bad , the whole rape criers are thinking irrationally toough. Detach yourself from any emotions and look at it again. Look at it like you would at a math formula, and then count 1 + 1 and then reach the conclusion if its really as bad (the apparent rape).
