Diabolik Lovers

Now, I personally really like the show, especially the characters, however the storyline, Cordelia fans and Yui kind of rub me the wrong way. First off the storyline is a bit dull, second of all ANYONE that LIKES Cordelia is gross af, and third of all it's utterly disappointing that Yui is so down right pathetic. Now, I love her, but I hate how she has been written and portrayed, I wish she was stronger (not necessarily physically) but mentally and I wish she wasn't so clumsy. I love her a lot, so I defend her, but I find the way she was written disappointing. As for the boys, I like them, I do not appreciate what they do to poor Yui, but I'm in love with their character designs and personalities. Kanato is definitely my favourite in my top five along with Subaru, Kou, Laito and Reiji. I don't really like Ayato that much, but he's cute I guess. 😒 So overall, I don't entirely hate this show it's 100% cringey but I think that's why I like it, it's stupid, sometimes quite good, and blatantly pretty bad, but to be entirely honest I think it's so bad that's it's kind of good.

Diabolik Lovers is one of the worst anime out there due to its' abysmal writing. On the plus side, the animation is incredibly good for something like this. Also, the voice actors really seem to enjoy voicing these guys! As a result, I give it a bonus 2 points. But, it can't make it completely awesome, as the writing and the characters matters. The characters are always feeding on the girl's blood, and that's incredibly gross. Also, the writing seems to be a sadistic twisted version of Twilight. I like it and I loathe it as a result.

To start off I like vampire stuff and anime why don't I like this let me explain. The horrible writing. The characters. You know why don't we just say the entire anime is what's wrong with it. So why didn't I give this 1 star well the art style is quite pretty. Let's leave that as that before I start ranting on the atrocity that is the second season, yes I watched both seasons.

Annoying. No sensible plot whatsoever. You'd have to play the game to get any backstory or clarity.

If you like abusive bdsm romance, or getting bitten frequently this is for you. It has a very stylistic animation (the hair choices especially). Lots of contrasting colors, and the house is especially beautiful.

Male characters are all incredibly overbearing with almost no redeeming qualities. Each scene feels drawn out and repetitive, because they all just want to hurt her constantly. They're pretty basic archetypes who don't stray far from the mold. Not much character development throughout.

Female lead is pretty dumb but I guess that could be from constant blood loss

If you make it through season 1, don't bother with season 2 it doesn't get better.

Still watched it twice to make sure I didn't like it.

It's like 6 different love interests pursuing one woman at the same time along with chilling horror backdrop for that extra adrenaline rush. I love it because it's not like the other million animes out there. This one is hauntingly beautiful with excellent voice acting, beautiful artwork, and a mysterious storyline. All the while being romantic and seductive at the same time. I love this more than Twilight and Buffy and Vampire Diaries and that overrated show True Blood. Diabolik offers ingenuity and something different and new. It is unique. I hope they make many more seasons. I am tired of all the conservative animes where the woman can't so much as a hug a guy without having to push herself away for being too "touchy feely." I love how this shows takes all that traditional mush and throws it out the window. It is a more daring show and more fun to watch.
