you're an inocent girl and one day your dad decides to drive you to a mansion in the middle of nowhere full of sexy horny vampires. perfect reverse harem isnt it?
Apperently this vampires havent seen one sigle woman in their entire lifes besides their mothers so whenever they see the protagonist they cant help but abuse her.
you have the fuck boy, the fedora man, the psychopatic kid, the angry issues, the fuck everyone around me face and the... i duuno what to call glasses guy. basicly they're all mentaly disturbed.
this was supost to be an harem but none of the boys has romantic feelings for her, all of them objetify her, belittle her and call her selfcentered without the poor girl doing shit. you cant even choose if you prefer them rough of gentle, all options are gonna step on you and…

Some anime have zombies. Others have witches. This show has a set of perverted sadistic blood-sucking handsome supposed-to-be-vampires. I've said it. This show reminded me of a horrible Twilight fan fiction, written by a masochistic (and also very horny) woman. I can imagine only two kinds of people who would like this show. The first one is a group of men who love to see women suffering and being inferior to men. The second kind is, like I already mentioned, masochistic women. If you're part of any of these cliques, I'm sure you'll love this show. If not, do me (but above all, yourself) a favor and ignore this piece of garbage. Why is this show so hideous? Stay tuned.
~Story~ 1/10

So I came watching this anime knowing that there was going to be some massive S&M abusive thing going on, but ended being disappointed. I think that the story had a lot of potential in terms of the setting, but the execution was just horrible.
On with the story, I actually liked the idea of having this innocent girl literally walking into a den of abusive vampires, and living with them, but they didn't really do a good job with developing the characters. I know that this series is from an otome game, and it's suppose to advertise the game, but the overall execution was still dreadful.
On with the characters, I think the characters were pretty interesting for a while...but only for a while. After the next few episodes, I just got bored of them. Especially with the heroine, I thought tha…

I never intended to ever write any reviews, but i just couldn't stop myself from giving a heads-up to people who are intending to watch this shitty anime. This anime is basically a waste of everybody's time, it's so bad that ill probably get more enjoyment in watching Dora the explorer.......
Story-1/10: Story follows a highschool girl who unknowingly walks into a "Rape Mansion," that inhabits psycho fucks that takes extreme pleasure in assaulting the girl and making her feel like shit. I would rather watch Twilight for a better vampire story.
First few eps just shows the girl getting played by each one of the brothers, great fucking character introduction...... I couldn't even find a plot, as all it was is just fucking douchebag vampires assaulting the helpless girl for her blood, in a…

If you're looking for a good reverse harem with vampires DO NOT WATCH THIS SHOW.
There was no true plot to this anime at all. All that happened was that the main protagonist, Yui, lives in a house full of vampires and is borderline raped almost everyday. I don't understand how this show would slightly be considered "enjoyable".
Do not let the beautiful artwork fool you. The show is full of sexy vampires to draw you in and the episodes are 12 minutes each, but don't let this persuade you to watch the show. It is a complete waste of time!
You would expect a girl getting sexually harassed by like 7 vampires a day would leave when given the option, BUT NO! She is a very dim-witted protagonist. She makes stupid decisions and makes it even seem she wants to be in these predicaments. She pat…

It goes without saying while I say I might have enjoyed this anime immensely that is not necessarily due to this anime itself and more the absolute destruction I was unleashing on the poor defenceless 2D series while I sat laughing my lungs out watching. Let me start by giving you my overall opinion of Diabolik Lovers and please keep in mind I only watch anime in dub, but in this case I very much doubt it would matter. Before cutting down why I think this of the show in more depth later on.
In short, this anime is bad. Bad, bad bad. Like holy hell put this thing down before it can breed. Diabolik Lovers is the worst kind of bad because its so pretty and well animated that at first glance you think its alright, its only until you actually start paying attention that you realize that there…

My review would pretty much be the same reason as others who gave it a low rating, and I can see why.
Lack of plot, the characters (main character is really the annoying mary-sue and the vampires are so abusive like why?!), the .. not so good art and idk it just lacks SO much. The sound is okay, but JUST okay.
I have heard the game is quite different compared to the game (honestly, the art for the game is quite pretty). Honestly, I think with LOADS of changes and improvements to the storyline, art and characters - Diabolik Lovers COULD have potential.
IMO, I think this anime is most enjoyable when you're watching it with a friend to poke fun at it and spot the mistakes (honestly, I laughed so hard). But that's it. Unless you're into vampires with abusive traits - then be my guest. But…

Let me just state for the record that this is without a doubt THE most misogynistic and abominable thing I've EVER watched standing alongside the likes of Itazura na Kiss. Make no mistake: this show is among the absolute worst that humanity has to offer and yet... it's just SO entertaining! I'm not even going so far as to call it a guilty pleasure because for it to be a guilty pleasure, I'd have to be ashamed of liking it in the first place. I can safely say that I'm *NOT* ashamed to admit that I like this abomination that was churned out from the bowels of Production I.G alongside Abunai Sisters. This programme can definitely be referred to as "The Room" of anime.
When you get right down to it, Diabolik Lovers is a series which is just so fascinatingly bizarre to the point where I questi…

Diabolik Lovers was brought into live action from their original dating sims, leaving the story to be scattered and confusing, as well as forcefully awkward. The characters were dull, leaving us to be unsympathetic when needed be. It would only be delivered to us as fan-service for anyone who was interested in the original game, or was interested in randomly placed perverted rapey scenes, leaving everyone else behind in a disappointed mess.
Story: 2/10
You would think that since this is a game already, the story would be set up already for the writers to just cut and paste into the animation. Yet, we were left with little to no story at all, and once there was a story, it was too late and was very forced.There was no build up, no story to hold onto from beginning to end. They introduced…

EDIT: REVIEW UPDATED AS I PLAYED THE OTOME GAME IT WAS ADAPTED FROM. And I can say, this anime is a disgrace to the game. The game it was adapted from is a dating game called 'Diabolik Lovers: Haunted Dark Bridal' The game itself is actually pretty good, starts bitter but gets sweeter in the end. But this? This stays bitter.
Let's start by saying one of the only positive things about this anime; It actually portrays vampires as they really are. They won't protect nor love you, but will suck your blood. So if you're expecting a Twilight-like Harem romance, you're completely wrong. This anime isn't even romance. This is a sadistic, rapey and bad anime that you just...can't enjoy at all.
The story actually starts pretty good. After reading the summary, it already didn't sound like a happy a…

In the beginning it seems to be a lot of fluff, though as you progress through the show the plot reveals itself. The only thing wrong is that the flashbacks need to be explained more, and there are many holes and unless you read it up on the wiki or have played the original game, you'll be left with questions. The plot itself was originally well written and pretty deep, though somehow when made into the actual anime it came out confusing and somewhat hard to follow, especially when the episodes are only 15 minutes long at most, and it is a full plot in need of full episodes. Some episodes felt rushed, though the ending was extremely satisfying and surprisingly touching considering in the beginning parts of the anime you'd think the anime is shallow, though it proves itself wrong.

When seventeen year old Yui Komori’s father has to go overseas for work, her church convinces her to temporarily move into a large house shared by six teenage boys... Because that’s totally something a church would do... And transfer into the night school that they all attend. What they don’t tell her is that the six boys are all vampires, and like any boys their age, they are only interested in one thing.
They make no bones about the fact that she now belongs to them, even branding her with the demeaning nickname “Bitchu-chan,” which roughly translates to “Little Bitch.” With no hope of escape, and hungry fangs awaiting her at every turn, will Yui’s new living arrangement turn out to be a sweet dream, or a beautiful nightmare?
Before I sink my own fangs into the meat of the story, I gue…

If you are considering watching "Diabolik Lovers" and you're sensitive to rape, dubious content etc., then do NOT press "play".
The story is overall ridiculous; there are so many plotholes it hurts, the resolution is utterly stupid, and almost nothing gets explained. The main female character, Yui, is treated in such an awful way it's actually painful to think about it. She gets molested and told that she's worthless basically every time any of the vampire brothers talks to her. Even more so, not only Yui does absolutely nothing to stand up for herself (which could be explained by saying she didn't want to get killed, fair enough), she starts CARING for the psychopatic brothers. Obviously though, she's not the worst character in this anime, oh no. It's the vampires who basically abuse Yu…

What in the world is this? Seriously, who would ENJOY watching this? Well, maybe it does have its fans; but I, however, am not one of those people...

Story: (2/10)
You can pretty much get the story of this anime from the synopsis. Yui Komori, a girl we know almost NOTHING about, moves into a mansion. As soon as she moves in, she sees that this mansion is home to the six Sakamaki brothers. Yui also sees that they aren't normal, as they are vampires.
Pretty much the story of Diabolik Lovers involves Yui finding pointless crap I really couldn't care less about, and getting tossed around like a lifeless doll from one brother to the next. No matter which brother is involved, every situation usually ends with Yui getting the blood sucked right out of her. It may seem interesting at first,…

Don't let the first episode fool you - this is not a romance anime. Not at all.
I watched the first episode and I was satisfied: Yui, the main character, looked cute and clueless and the vampires, she was sent to under mysterious circumstances, were shown off as ignorant and frightening beings. I was sure the story would revolve around how the vampires start to like Yui one after one.
But no. I came to realized that this wouldn't be the standard reverse harem story once Yui was bitten by a vampire. And how the scene was depicted, made sure there could be no atonement for the act in one of the later episodes. So I set my hopes on the other vampires. And I was totally wrong. They are a bunch of masochists that like nothing more than torturing Yui and kept her around only to suck her blood.…

WATCH IF YOU LIKE SADISM/MASOCHISM, VAMPIRES, GOTHIC TONES,...ect
DONT BE FOOLED BE THE 1,2, and 3 reviews try it for yourself ad see if it suits you.
I love the show, it does well in telling a complex story in only a matter of 12 episodes, yes it has implied rape, sadists, and masochists, but it tell how vampires are really seen by the public, where they see people as nothing but food, but the show is good to were the start to treat Yui nicer along the way, Zexces did well with the animation and design, i couldn't ask for any better, the show starts slow but pickes up episode 7.
I would recommend it to anyone that likes this kind of stuff.

To say anyone was expecting a masterpiece out of Diabolik Lovers would be a big fat lie, and not just because it happens to be a reverse harem (which, granted, is a fair enough reason to lower your expectations). The premise itself gives no room for one to think this will be remotely good: some girl named Yui Komori gets moved into this mansion full of vampires and they're all lusting after her (blood). Of course, something can always surprise you, but this is not at all the case with Diabolik Lovers.
It's exactly as you're supposed to expect it, if not worse. As a reverse harem, there is no actual sense of romance between the vampires and the protagonist, because these vampire men are all complete monsters who don't even see her as anything other than some sort of blood bank, blow-up dol…

OOOOOh Shucks, this anime was really a drag, quite frankly, I ask myself as to why did I ever bother watching this horrible thing.......I guess it has something to do with the female character, Yui as she was made into this sacrificial lamb by the very institution who should be protecting her and should consider vampires as an abomination, I guess it was my pity for that character were she finds herself in such appalling situation which it involves them Sakamaki siblings, who are in fact a bunch of cool blooded sucking SOB's, so, how do I rate this not so good thing?
Here's how:
Story, art, sound and character: Poor number 3, Oh shucks!
The story was simply wasn't there, since this anime was based from an otome game, it was pretty obvious that this anime was like playing that game were…

Bueno, what can I say, everything about this anime "SUCKS" and I gave all of its category a flat 1 as in everything "PATHETIC." So question, if it was this bad why did I even watch it at the first place? My answer, it was because, at first I was hoping that some miracle or something will save the main protagonist ( I'm referring to the chica, Yui), but, the end result was the main character ends up being one of them despite of the near death horrors she underwent in the hands of six bastard vampires, frankly only the life story of them six bastard vampires were the only consolation here everything else sucks. The art, well I'm not much into the art thingy, by I do say, those vampires' fashion were too dorky to say the least, that even my hommies would laugh out loud when they see them, als…

This series....or rather this abomination is what I would call a trainwreck that never had itself on rail. Visual novels aren’t easy to adapt. In fact, recent years has shown that many anime series never lives up to its original material that result in disappointed fans. However, there are also some VN adaptations that are so horrid, so atrocious, so dreadful, so disastrous, so unappealing that it can be in a category of its own. Diabolik Lovers belongs to the category for failure with all its rights. This show is something of a tragedy - an anime adaptation that is almost an insult to the brain to watch.
Diabolik Lovers is an anime series adapted from the visual novel of the same name. Zexcs handles its production and from one of their more recent notorious series known as Aku no Hana (…
