Alicia I love this movie so much

Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

naomi-57364 The storyline is pretty messed up and hard to understand, unless you've played the game. The game is a lot better than the anime, so if you're interested in Diabolik Lovers, do yourself a favour and play the game instead of watching the anime. The only good parts were the extraordinary animation, voice acting and the music. The rest isn't that exciting.

RoryNC Let me tell you, as someone who was once a die-hard fan of this show, I look back on this and I just want to scream. Yes, it all makes more sense when you've played the game and all that, and based on what I've read the game is way better. But I'm not reviewing the game here. I'm reviewing the anime.I would just like to say that I adore the music and the art. And the voice acting was incredible--especially in the subbed! The dubbed was okay, but in all honesty the voices don't really fit the characters (mainly Kanato and Laito). If you really wanna watch this, I recommend subbed. Kudos to all the voice actors, artists, and musicians that worked on this! Aaaaand that's about it for my praises.Oh, dear...where do I even begin with how unhealthy this is? It basically takes the whole concept of "No means no" and pours it down the drain, which is a mentality that countless people have fought against for so many years only to have it be essentially PROMOTED in a show aimed at horny teenage girls!Many people criticize Yui for being such a weakling, but I would like you to think of it this way: she's nice, she wouldn't swat a fly, and these boys will LITERALLY RAPE HER TO DEATH AND/OR SUCK OUT ALL HER BLOOD IF SHE TRIES TO LEAVE OR FIGHT AGAINST THEM. I honestly think that Yui is extremely strong for keeping up with them for so long. Which is sad because that just tells you how horrible the boys are. (Except Subaru. He's okay). And throughout the show, all this abuse and mental torture is subtly portrayed as sexy and desirable.The story's okay. It makes more sense in the game, but we're not reviewing the game. And to be 100% honest, there is a fair amount of characterization in the Sakamaki brothers that makes sense once you know their backgrounds, something that's way more fleshed out in the game. But what are we not reviewing? The game!"So why not just play the game and review that instead, Rory?" you're probably wondering. Oh, I don't know why! I honestly don't know why. It's almost as if I, just one among many many people, don't have the console required to play it, on top of not knowing Japanese which is not a language you learn in a day. I really don't know why. It's such a shame, people actually having to properly flesh out characters and story lines rather than rely on the source material that not everyone has access to. Such a pity...If you really want to watch this show, then go ahead. I can't stop you. But be warned: there's many a disturbing scene. If you find yourself utterly disgusted or on the opposite end, turned on, I encourage you in either scenario to close the episode and take a nice walk outside after having set fire to your eyeballs for a few minutes.

Otaku Wildcat (otaku-wildcat) The anime itself is really good. The plot line is very though out and we can really get in the psyche of the vampires,but...i would give it a 10 out of 10 if the chick in the anime wasn't that stupid. She can have ANY guy she wanted (lets face it they are all damn fine)and she decides that she will run away from them. When one of them,mostly Ayato, pin her down to drink her blood she can legit hit them where the sun doesn't shine,but nooooo... she is gonna sit there and cry. I was all up in here STRESSED like:"Girly grow some balls!Stand up for yourself!". The boys are fine, the plot is fine, the original manga and game fine, the anime girl NOT fine. The End.

ar-05319 I thought this was a clever series and really enjoyed it, they adapted it very well from the game. For the first series my favourite characters were probably Ayato, Laito and Kanato. This is probably because the triplets took centre stage in the second half whilst the other Sakamaki siblings fell into the background a little. I will agree that Yui is not strong but her character isn't really meant to be so her persona doesn't bother me. The artwork was excellent, I was very impressed with the detail. The voice acting was very good as well (I know they were the same voices from the game but they played out very well in anime form too). The music was good, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the opening sequence (I usually skip them). In the second series I was pleased to see the writers introduce the Mukami's who gave the show another level. I found a soft spot for Azusa and like in the first series I liked looking at backstories. There was less action but I was pleased with the ending particularly since it suggested there would be a third series which I had been hoping for as there is plenty more game material to cover. This series isn't for everyone but and I had a very good time watching it and if male-harem romance is something you're into I would suggest giving it a show.
