----------------------------------------
1 o'clock as episode number is interesting. I kind of guessed that ep.1 will be include intro. chapter of the game (from gameplay on youtube), but didn't know there's also a butler! The girl's voice is cute, even though the seiyuu is new. Good start, though ED is different with introducing of the mystery early (right at ep.1).

YES. YES. YES. WOW. IT WAS FAITHFUL. YUI WAS NOT A STUPID DOORMAT (It's only episode 1 (o'clock) BUT STILL). AHHHHHHH THE FUTURe HAS NICe THINGS IN STORE.

The voice acting was fucking brilliant. I was almost a hundred percent sure that Yui's seiyuu would be your typical, soft voice, not-meant-to-speak-that-much voice actor, but I was impressed. Especially amazing since this was Suegara Rie's first role. Laito is a shit as usual, no surprise there. And Shuuuu, ahhhhh Subarun aasklfjkasdf. If they're going to focus on a route it'll probably be Ayato, but hopefully they explore the background of everyone. At first, I was disappointed and pretty angry that it was only fifteen minutes per episode before I watched it, because I thought they'd try to pack everything into one episode, but man was I wrong. That didn't even feel like fifteen minutes, I didn't even realize time was passing. I'm just so happy that one of my favourite otoge has started off on a good note.

And hopefully, with this, we'll see the stupid Twilight comparisons go away.

Only 15 minutes huh?

Somewhat what I expected. Whoa, one of the dudes goes right after her just like that. That rosario like symbol reminds me of Rosario + Vampire. A lot of dudes vampires and one girl...this is going to be weird.

I've only watched the raw and wow....

How do you like that? For the first time in say two years I actually LIKE an otome heroine's voice. That IS a surprise. Not to mention, le gasp, SHE WASN'T A FREAKING DOORMAT! PRAISE THE LORD! HALLELUJAH!

And the characters are so hot! The art is fabulous and I think they did a good job with the character designs in the anime, wow, again, this usually doesn't happen in otome anime(*cough*Hiiro no Kakera *cough*)

But yeah, I enjoyed that way more than I should have.

(I have not listening to the Drama CDs or played the game, I've only read summaries and even there, I stopped halfway because I have a weak heart and I don't like sadistic characters. Rather, characters being sadistic towards me. So, you be asking, then why are you watching this? Because, I must watch every otome anime and the seiyuus are BAMF.)

I'm going to have to agree with you there, I have nothing against the seiyuu (I actually love him quite a bit) but Raito annoys me no matter what he does.

Well... that was... sort of different...
I didn't imagine Yui's voice like that AT ALL. And the guys still look weird animated. OTL
It was funny when there was this dramatic music in the background but she kept running in this pathetic way (although that didn't even look like running in the first place considering how slow that was). But at least she tried fighting back lol. Speaking of funny, there was also this scene after she fell down and everyone was looking readily to get her (with again dramatic music in the background) and all her hope turned into nothing XDDD Oh and the blood on her knee magically disappeared? Okay...
And it looks like they'll really follow (mostly) Ayato's route judging from the preview (takoyaki etc.)...

This is not really related to Twilight, but when their eyes were glowing a bit I had to think of Vampire Knight XD Those red eyes back then... omg... x'D

First otome adapted anime that I've watched with a heroine that isn't so soft spoken :) the cast is quite interesting, just as expected after reading their character profiles. But man that guy Raito annoys me already, calling someone "Bitch-chan" o_o and what first episode and we already find out that she's not her father's child. I like that intense music for the ED.

Very interesting. I love anything related to vampires so I will definitly watch this. And I actually like the heroine. Yui is SO CUTE. xp

They're so freakin' pushy though. I know they're vampires but man, get your shit together. As of right now, Shuu and Reiji are the only ones I can stand.

I wasn't expecting a butler in the anime adaptation since there wasn't even one to begin if ever you played the game.
Anyway, I'm quite surprised with some parts especially with Yui's Father, who isn't her real father, diary in the mansion. The sealed away room as well wasn't stated or introduced in the game either.
I can't wait for the next episode~ :D
And I have to say.. I'm really disappointed seeing its just 15 mins per episode.

Wow, I didn't expect this to...wow.
I like how Yui isn't portrayed as a weak submissive heroine; props for that. "Bitch-chan" is kind of annoying; And I think Shu is my favorite brother so far.

The first episode wasn't so bad, seeming as it's only 14 minutes of actual animation per episode. The plot seems pretty interesting, Looking forward to the next episode ^_^

Wasn't sure what to expect but so far I like it! I think Yui says more in 15 minutes than Shuujinko said in a season of Amnesia and Emi says in most 24 minute episodes of Brothers Conflict so that's a good thing!

Well that was a pretty good start. Raised my expectations quite a bit with the pleasing art style and the direction it's taking.

Agreed completely. It's only been one episode, but for now, Yui is a believable and relatable main character. She's cute, interesting enough and, more than anything else... She actually reacts properly to the things happening around her.

For now I'm not very much into any of the boys (surprisingly, cause I like sadistic gothic-ish characters very much) except maybe Kanato because of those tired eyes.. it's adorable.

Looking forward to the next episode, hopefully they manage to keep things interesting.

i guess this episode was ok, i didn't expect too much from this anime. i really like the art of this anime but what kind of annoys me about almost every otome game is that all the heroine are either weak, naive, or even both D': of course i would be kind of scared if i was in the same situation as yui, but i think i wouldn't throw such a tantrum. :'D

Hmm.. can't decide yet if I will like it or not.. girl is fine but that vampire guy who keeps her calling bitch-san is annoying. Well, that vamp dude with earphone is quite nice. But somehow, the animation and character designs are weird. Maybe because of the vampire dark theme..

Wow, what's this crap? I downloaded it just to see what it is, and first thing I see is attempted rape. Guess that's a common thing for otome games (haven't seen much). Well, all in all, it was a funny experience. Is this supposed to be funny or is it unintentional? As it's hilarious. I'll continue for sure, even though I wasn't planning on watching this.

Maybe it is because i am a pervert but this show was too much awesome ! Now i got a great idea of what a reverse ecchi's really ! XD Because it was really a show with a bang for otome girl. :D Just by seeing the review before i watch it when i was done downloading it was making me hungry. :3 It was really better than brocon (who i dropped at the end because i was watching too much stuff at the same time...) in all point and with not only just love declaration but with sexual assault ! I was laughing all the ways to the end. I want a second season when the second game come out next month ! XD

The thing about DiaLovers is, if you haven't played the game, you need to give it more than one episode to see the plot develop and see how messed up everything actually is. By messed up I mean twisted and dark.

i remain undecided on this anime. for the majority of the first episode it looked as if i would take a direct path down to complete and utter shit. then at the last 5 seconds it seems like there is a a possibility of it turning the hole thing upside down and becoming good. the thing i hope for is god gives her something to repel them. should this happen it could become a lot more interesting. it could bring in comedy, remove the rape aspect and manage to have plot. there is even a possibility of romance all based off of the next episode.

Better than Amnesia and hopefully better than Brothers conflict.

I like the artstyle, especially the eye design.

Maybe this female lead will have a personality. Female harem leads are usually even worse than male harem leads.

This anime is supposed to have yandere and sadistic male protagonist...lusting after the heroine. And it already received 2 bad reviews, wow. I guess not a lot expected this.
I quite liked it, they pulled off the atmosphere and character really well...I am glad if they didn't tone it down from the game. Love the seiyuus~
Wish it was longer though. Glad to see Yui actually doesn't sit there quietly and actually reacts to things like a normal person. I like Shuu and Subaru the most.
