Well so far they have managed to combine diabolik lovers with high school star musical (both are at the bottom of my watchlist I might add) which means it is looking pretty grim for this anime..... that is until I saw what I hope to be the super badass brother who rekts shit up. Student council might have redeemed themselfs with that little rescue (regardless of ulterior motives) after that weak and forced introduction. So all up.... 50/50.

Also, told cops thieves broke in house and mother was attacked.
cops show up, thieves gone, mother gone
cops "she probably went out, see ya"..... 10/10 cops.
Powered by yuri.
Needless to say, I finish all anime I start, no matter my initial opinion, no matter how bad it gets, I WILL FINISH IT!

Liked the first episode(even tho reverse haram is not really my thing).
Was fearing if it would be another copy of DL. Glad to see t'is not the case. A better watch compared to most of the shows of this season.

As many others seem to be, I also am pleasantly surprised, as I, too, was expecting some kind of reverse harem setup where the heroine is a doormat.

Don't know what to think about the musical thing though, it was also surprising. It's not bad at all, just weird.

Wow. That scene at the beginning was so 10/10.

Ritsuka introduced herself through a song. I loved that part.

The concil song was hilarious tho. Similar thing happened in the first episode High School Star Musical. XD

THE OP IS SO GOOD.

I love reverse harems and I'm a big fan of 'em.
The way this episode held a potential, I believe I can expect a good reverse harem series out of this. I hope I'll enjoy the next, upcoming episodes.

I am looking forward to the 2nd one!

Exactly! xD I'm still not sure will I continue with High School Star Musical but I'll definitely watch this one. Dance with Devils seem promising for now.

As reverse harem goes, this was quite different. Sure, there were some cliches but overall it was pretty good. Decent animation, beautiful songs and what seems to be an interesting plot, oh! And don't forget the bishounens! (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧

I'm glad Ritsuka isn't like the heroin in Diabolik Lovers...

The introduction was so good along with the art/animation, seiyuu cast and almost everything was nice but is this gonna be a musical anime? i don't really want that.

The heroine is likeable so far but i'm afraid that she will turn into a lifeless doll or something, please don't be yui komori twin sister (in terms of personality lol) anyway i hope the show will get better because this episode was a little bit boring.

I really liked the introduction. It was mysterious and well done. Like the majority already said I was also caught off guard when heroine started singing but well .. we will see how it turns out with the singing.
The rest was also nice. The heroine is likeable and I am really looking forward to see her brother!

Yess! I was seriously hyping this like crazy and was afraid that I had hyped it too much BUT I didn't hype it enough! (I FREAKING LOVED IT!) I did NOT expect this to be as well done cos come on it's REJECT and Diabolic Lovers was so badly done (but i'm still watching it, lol).. but I guess it was my fault to think it'd be like DiaLovers (it's broadcasted on Nico AND it's only 10minutes) while Dance with Devils is from an ACTUAL studio and an ACTUAL full length anime *p*


I think Dance with Devils & High School Star Musical are my two animes of the season, LOL. I LOVE MUSICALS AND HOW MUCH THEY MAKE ME LAUGHH, hahaha.

First Ayanagi Academy's Kao-kai (from STARMYU) now Shiko Academy's Student Council... why all those singing school councils?

Do school council members often sing in Japan? :D
Don't take me wrong, I do love singing. The song was great, I really liked it. But it just feels little bit awkward...and kind of funny :)

I wanted to know why the demons wanted the Grimoire, Even though it will make them a race that will rule the whole world? For what kind of reason. My first impressions is that the anime is fantastic I want to know the demon families and the family background of Rem and back stories of each main character in the anime.

Glad this didn't turn out like Diabolik Lovers, and I jumped when suddenly the music got cut at the end of the episode.

Also, It feels weird to see a musical anime but I guess it is okay.

I wasn't aware that you could get more cringeworthy than Lance N' Masques this season. I stand corrected. Also, "Great Rem".... come on, crunchy. You can do better than that.

Well, it is called Dance with Devils..... though I do share the sentiment.

This was definitely an introductory episode. From what we've seen so far, it looks like it could become another girl surrounded by a whole bunch of guys show. But there's also the potential that maybe it could be more than that. This wasn't necessarily a great episode, but it wasn't bad, either.

To me, the biggest standout for this series is the musical numbers. Will this be a regular thing in the episodes? I hope so, because it would make things a little more interesting. :)

I'm curious to see where this series will head, and I'm hoping it'll be decent. At least it's not another Diabolik Lovers, since the female protagonist actually has a backbone!

So much kitsch. OF COURSE I AM GOING TO WATCH IT WHOLE.
They all are so painfully stereotypical (like, they recited their schticks already in this so-bad-it's-good Student Council Song!), but there is a chance they won't treat the Heroine like shit, so they have this one going for them. Also Sexy Shoulders and Obviously-Yandere have godly voices. Pop quiz: why the most feminine guy has the biggest harem/gets the playboy route?

I admit it: Being a film music geek, the beginning musical sequence made me laugh, and its not just the surprise that they used ACTUAL EngLISH voice overs, but the blatant rip-off of Danny Elfman and his Alice in Wonderland score: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xyspn61ccyE


Interesting bit of info. Thanks.

People said that this would be a lot like Diabolik Lovers, so I was expecting to hate this right off the bad, it's actually not terrible. That said, it's not great either. 3/5, generic. Will probably wait a few more episodes to see if it's worth watching or not.
More or less this. Though I never even tried one episode of Diabolik Lovers.

The girl seems pretty much reverse harem cliche to me, though.

Why is every guy in the reverse harem the same kind?

Everyone is some kind of jerk.Non even Keima from Twgok had such an attitude.

Lol at priest oni-chan.Even incest works in reverse.

A literal anime high school musical.

Watching this for the silly ride.

The very start of it seemed so interesting. Then it introduced the girl, she started walking, and starting singing. Oh God...



Glad to see I'm not the only one on that. I totally lost it when the student council guys started singing, damn I was laughing hard, wasn't expecting that at all!


Will continue to watch for the lolz-factor and see if the story will be actually interesting or not cliché. (The MC being the grimoire is almost certain tho, with how the intro was presented and all...)

I hope no one compares it to DiaLovers from now on. That piece of trash should be just considered as a part of an exclusive dustbin.

I like how the girl actually talks back. Hope she remains like that. And I hope gets some control over her/ pendant's powers so that the future kissing attempts can be negated.

The animation was nice, too. 6.5/10, I am expecting good things from this show.

R.I.P to mom, looks like a lot of people were keeping some secrets from Ritsuka, so the question is who's the baddie here, those student council brats or some else?

BTW has anybody notice that Rem is wearing girly shoes?
