Diabolik Lovers is in one of the forefronts as some of the worst reverse harem examples in recent anime history, what with it's blank slate idiot main female protagonist, abusive harem members and little content to make us care about anything or anyone in the anime....so HOW DID IT GET A SECOND SEASON, that is merely beyond LA to think how this second season came to be but like LA said about this second season being "second verse, same as the first" is VERY prevalent as LA watched this second season. Why?...well...
These "new" characters are nothing but carbon copies of the original abusive cast with the differing goal in which isn't that much of a change from the first season at all of these new 4 vampires "aren't gonna abuse"....ummmmm ohh right Yui, in which they do what any vampire do, wanting to suck Yui's blood in a sexually abusive manner with their expected sob backstories to get us to "like" them and failing because...well the new vampire in question is STILL ABUSING YUI.
Ohh and here's the carbon copy breakdown...
*Ruki Mukami = Shu Sakamaki - in the sense they do the least harm to Yui but their ulterior motives and Yui cause them to lash out at Yui.
*Kou Mukami = Reiji Sakamaki - the second sons to their respective families, they are both manipulative and sadistic in the sense, though Reiji shows his sadism right there and there, Kou hides it.
*Yuuma Mukami = Laito Sakamaki - in the respect of the suave asshole type, it's just that Yuuma calls Yui a sow instead of a bitch...so that different...right?.
*Azusa Mukami = Kanato Sakamaki - in the respect of the shy creepy loner vampires and the youngest of their families bunch, just that Kanato is sadistic, Azusa is masochist...
And no if your wondering...LA didn't like or had ANY sympathy for ANY of these characters...mainly Ruki because even though they have expected horrible backstories...Ruki still initiated the plan to kidnap and blood-sucking abuse Yui until Ruki's plan was completed all for his own selfish reasons and NOT taking into account to how Yui feels about all this and from that not even Yui is spared due to her blank slate female main protagonist and being a general idiot during most situations to the point that some of the Sakamaki vampires had more common sense when it came to the plot than she did!.
So what's worse?...the 4 kidnapper "kind" yet borderline abusive vampires or the 5 or 6 abusive vampires?...well that in itself is splitting hairs and something LA "thought" would do something different with these new vampires and NOPE, there's no difference between these 10 vampires, it's the equivalent of getting into a fight with a choice between an axe wielding psycho and a knife wielding maniac, whatever the case or semantics, your gonna get hurt and boy did LA get angry at this season very much the same way as the first season of Diabolik Lovers did to LA probably even worse actually.
You know what's worse?, Yui had MANY opportunities to go back to the Sakamaki's family or hell from the first season...just run away from these abusive vampires...SIMPLE. AS. THAT, but again like LA said above, what's the point of that, this merely shows Yui has quick Stockholm Syndrome (no seriously...you get kidnapped and almost instantly warms up to your kidnappers...even though they want to suck your blood any chance they get) and to hit the nail in this coffin the four new vampires as "competition" to the Sakamaki's vampires doesn't even count as competition, quite obviously because the Sakamaki vampires DON'T EVEN CARE IF THEIR "BLOOD A LA YUI" IS GONE AND WAS KIDNAPPED, Yui is that much of waste of space to them even though she's your main blood supply...the fucking IDIOTS. What's perplexing is that only after they get her back and add stupidity to this mess is that the Sakamaki vampires saw and INTERACTED with Yui during school and they didn't get her back and THEY WANTED YUI BACK BY THE WAY WHAT THE FUCK?...DUMBASSES and stupid writing, but that isn't saying much as the competition of the Mukami vampires aren't much better on the account of the blood sucking abuse...as LA said...would you want to fight off a knife wielding maniac or an axe-wielding psycho?
LA didn't really talk about plot for this second season and it's kinda obvious why. The plot is essentially Yui getting kidnapped by the Mukami vampire family...blood sucking abuse ensues and something about one of the Mukami vampires wanting to be Adam to Yui's Eve but that plotline is mentioned in passing and doesn't go into much detail of what will even happen once one of the Mukami vampires turns into him and to add salt to the wound to this little plotline, the culmination of Yui's blood and Mukami vampires wanting to be Adam, the conflict between the Mukami and Sakamaki vampires "resolving" to the newer threat of the Founder vampires ends in a god damn cliffhanger FUCK THAT!. Even for an anime short SECOND season it has pitiful to even LESS amount of material from it's first season and that's horrible in perspective this is suppose to be a second season.
Diabolik Lovers More;Blood is a carbon copied first season with the same goal (of sucking Yui's blood) under the guise that these 4 new vampires might give us anything new or change for the better and it just doesn't and THAT just clearly shows that More;Blood is the same as the first season heck even worse as More;Blood didn't or doesn't care to better itself or learn from it's predecessors and LA knows LA will get the obvious, it's based on an otome game so leave it alone! or what did you expect from this? To that LA says that, LA would have easily say it's the second season...LA kinda expect some change or movement in a story no matter how horrible it's first season was and for a second season this went NOWHERE.
Was there ANYTHING LA liked from this second season?, it's what the first season did quite well as well and that was it's animation done by Zexcs mainly it's character designs are soo solid and detailed with Yui being a highlight of the animation, the background is typical dark gothic architecture from it's first season but that is about it. But animation alone doesn't make an anime good, the plot NEEDS to pulls it's weight and quite obviously...More;Blood does not PERIOD.
Diabolik Lovers More;Blood is nothing but another failed attempt at trying to make the reverse harem genre marketable in making not 6 but now TEN abusive vampires...with all these horribly executed sob backstories to make us care about ANY of these abusive vampires and Yui still being the blank slate idiot she still and forever will be and an ass of a finale that was trying to culminate all it's loose plot points into a fucking cliffhanger ending really sealed More;Blood's fate at being worse than it's first season because at the VERY least the first season resolved it's main conflict...More;Blood fucking did not.
Want a better reverse harem anime?...just watch Kamigami no Asobi...
