Diabolik Lovers

At the behest of her father, Yui Komori goes to live in a secluded mansion, home to the six Sakamaki brothers—Shuu, Reiji, Ayato, Kanato, Laito, and Subaru—a family of vampires. Though at first the siblings are confused as to why the girl has arrived, they soon realize that she is to be their new "sacrificial bride," not to mention their other, more carnal intentions for her. After meeting the brothers, Yui quickly begins to question why her father would have sent her here and why she feels a strange, new pain in her chest. With each brother more sadistic than the last, Yui's life as a captive takes a harrowing turn in her new home. As her days turn into endless nights, and each brother vows to make her his own, Yui falls deeper and deeper into madness and ecstasy.

you're an inocent girl and one day your dad decides to drive you to a mansion in the middle of nowhere full of sexy horny vampires. perfect reverse harem isnt it?

Apperently this vampires havent seen one sigle woman in their entire lifes besides their mothers so whenever they see the protagonist they cant help but abuse her.
you have the fuck boy, the fedora man, the psychopatic kid, the angry issues, the fuck everyone around me face and the... i duuno what to call glasses guy. basicly they're all mentaly disturbed.

Mixed Feelings

It's what you expect from a otome anime adaption, it just doesn't really work because of the many routes... Also I know a lot of people had a issue with the plot because everything about it is morally fucked but personally I kinda like the idea, its just I had a big issue with the main character... We had little insight about how she was feeling, every scenario doesn't feel like it's ACTUALLY from the perspective of the MC as the scenes don't portray just how scary and traumatizing it is (Kinda makes it hard to relate and understand the MC), each past event also ...

Not Recommended

As Kiba Snowpaw and Ice Wolf Alpha, I can't help but feel disgusted and appalled by this anime. Diabolik Lovers is a trainwreck of a series that should never have been adapted into an anime. The story is nonsensical and lacks any real plot development or characterization. Yui, the main character, is portrayed as a helpless and submissive girl who allows herself to be molested and beaten up by the vampire brothers for their pleasure. It's a story gone wrong with Yui being the heroine, but instead of being strong and fighting back, she submits to her tormentors without any resistance.

The construction of the story ... is ridiculous, with almost no character development or growth. The guys all view Yui as food with their vampiric eyes, and there's no limit to their cruelty towards her. Each episode focuses on one of the brothers spending time with Yui, which usually ends in Yui losing blood and crying herself to tears. The show assumes that there's a form of romance between Yui and the vampire brothers, but it comes out in an atrocious way that leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

The artwork is unremarkable, with nothing particularly special about the characters' designs besides their outfits. The mansion they live in has some artistic value, but the atmosphere of the series obliterates any sense of artistic value due to its focus on sexual abuse.

The soundtrack is mediocre at best, with an eerie background that becomes unbearable during the scenes where Yui is fighting for her life and screaming for help. The voice tones of Ayato and Raito are sadistic and get the job done in that field.

As a male wolf-like human from an ice world called HowlStrom, I find this anime to be an insult to viewers themselves. The humor is blend as dry paint, trying to add some humor to dialogues but coming out as awkward and senseless. The screams Yui lets out are a cry for help, but no one ever comes to her aid. I do give some credit to the ED song for creating a sense of darkness, but it's not enough to make up for the show's sadism and vampire rape tones.

Diabolik Lovers is a perfect example of how not to adapt a shoujo anime series based off a game. The shows' sadism and vampire rape tones are almost an insult to viewers themselves. Yui is one of those characters that is unbearable to watch, as she allows herself to be played by the vampires who view her as food with their vampiric eyes. At various times, I found myself siding with the vampires since they at least have some control over their characters' degree. Thank goodness each episode is less than the typical 24 minutes or I would have screamed my lungs out for it to be over. Ultimately, I did stick around the show to see how it developed or ended, but it proves once again just how much of an abomination it really is.

As for who this anime is targeted towards, I have no idea. This reverse harem shit just makes guys like me want to punch a hole in my screen, and I don't think girls would find joy in watching other girls getting assaulted either. This anime has failed both male and female viewers alike. I'm surprised feminists haven't shoved the creators of this anime in a deep pile of gender equality shit yet.

The ending cannot even be explained; it's not even an ending. The creators were probably just tired with this shit and made sure that the ending was extra shit as atonement for the deaths of their co-workers during the creation of this anime. As Kiba Snowpaw and Ice Wolf Alpha, I strongly advise against watching this piece of shit; it's a waste of everybody's time.
