THIS ANIME IS SO MEDIOCRE that you cannot call it bad, but it's really hard to say it's good either.
Everything about "Dance with Devils" is extremely predictable, which is why it's hard to enjoy it to the fullest. Seriously, I could tell what would happen in episodes 9 to 11 already after watching the 1st and 2nd episodes. There is some suspense, but it looks rather like a miserable attempt to create one. And it is not only the plot, but the characters too - not boring (mostly), but with plain, moderate personalities. They aren't original, so you could easily find a game or an anime with each of those personalities worked through much better than here.
The only thing that really stands out is the musical part. Although it stood out to me merely because it was utterly hilarious. As soon…

If you have a huge thing for Disney movies and sing alongs this is the anime for you! I've never been one for sing alongs but this anime really put me in the mood to sign with the main character.
I went into this anime with no expectations. I saw that it had to do with vampires and I was like "Ok!" Thats not at all what this anime is about.
I never thought that a Disney like anime with singing vampires would be such a turn on to my mind but its kind of odd what this has done for me. I can say without any doubt having watched this anime has given me a new meaning to the phrase "Polishing The Sword."
I hope that if you walk into this anime as blind as I did that you find some sort of love in Disney productions such as this one.
i would say this was an absolute train wreck. Though ther…

Unlike a lot of people, I actually liked Dance with Devils. The story was like any other reverse harem anime that's based off a game. The main girl goes to high school, she meets boys, boys fall in love with her because she's "special" and she either chooses a boy or goes for the true harem ending. But with Dance with Devils I liked how they had the songs were not very random and seem appropriate when played. It was also really fun to just watch this because I kept shouting random things and waving my metal bookmark around. I may have gotten some weird looks, but you know, you know it was worth it. And also

To be honest, i usually really dislike musicals. Mainly because i get bored when theyre singing and so on. And usually i find the story really mediocre and just meh. When it comes to reverse harems, they're not that bad, but some can be pretty much the same. Meh and mediocre.
But for some reason "Dance with Devils" caught my attention, like "hey i wanna watch that, idk why, but i want to!". And I cant say i regret it, this is seriously the best anime musical Ive ever seen.
Story: 8/10
As I mentioned earlier, this kind of anime is usually (in my opinion) really plain and boring. For example Amnesia, interesting but got boring. This anime tough, it had a story, something happened. It all started out with what seemed to be another boring anime. First episode and i was really confused, warn…

I was really excited when this anime was first announced along with its otome game counterpart.
Now, many believe this anime is similar to Diabolik Lovers. However, this anime is severely different, and becomes shafted because of it.
STORY: The story was very enjoyable, seeming to follow one like a Disney movie. In order to explore the story further, however, you must get its otome game counterpart. Despite going further, the anime itself is a good watch.
ART: The art is outstanding, although there are some frames that can get a little off as with most animes.
SOUND: IT'S A MUSICAL ANIME. HOW IS SOUND NOT HIGH? Really, the vocals are very well done in this anime, and I could listen to the songs for hours on end.
CHARACTER: Character development IS something this anime lacks, but with be…

The story itself wasn't the worst part of the anime. It wasn't the most original either but it was tolerable. What annoyed me the most was the music in the most ridiculous time, and the choice of the songs was awful. You could be watching the most serious, intense battle( not like there was any-but just saying) and they decide to show their feelings by songs? Really?
But in the end I got confused! I wonder what was the purpose of this whole anime is. Its not rom -com, its not scary, it doesn't have deep, awesome plot. Its not slice of life. what is it?

The art was good. Typical good looking bishies which is the only reason I watched the anime. But, may be the setting could have been better.

This anime had some really good things going for it. Overall i found it very enjoyable, excluding the weirdly out of place songs that were thrown into the anime. The story was definitely nothing special, seen it a few times now. But surprisingly it was well enough done that I wanted, and did, keep watching. This was kind of like a not quite as good version of vampire night. The art was decent along with the music. I honestly don't have a good explanation why i found this anime as enjoyable as i did, but thats it, it was simply entertaining to watch. The biggest thing that bothered me was the sporadic attempts it made to be a musical. At times it would break out into song and it was almost so bad it was comical. It would look like it was breaking out into a couple minute long musical theate…

Story:
This storyside is amazing.We can see 2 worlds fighting to make the power of Grimoire is their own.The Vampire and Devil.The love story about cool-blooded guy and a brave girl which can't understand about each other feeling and the end they're falling in love each other.The fights over the same girl make you laugh.The feeling of brother on her little sister.

I can't tell how much cheated I feel.
Throughout the whole anime the main character has been nothing more than a silly that anyone could deceive, and she was like nothing matters really.
Also, Lindo diserved so much more at the end. To me, he was the best character. I can't say much more, but except Lindo, the music parts (I laughed a lot in these parts, and enjoy them) and the art... This is not much worth your time. AT ALL.
I recon that it has its moments, but I think there are better animes out there. And romances. I am still wondering why Rem fell in love with the main character. Like I told you, she was a fool all the time, but at some point I didn't know if she was really SO silly, or was looking for been kidnapped most of the time. My eyes could've been rolled forever if I kept ro…

(This review has been adapted from my blog/reddit thread. Spoilers ahead!)
Dance with Devils describes itself pretty well. There are devils and there is dancing. Less dancing than devils but still.
I cannot speak much about devils. (I have already talked at length about the Divine Comedy.) As for dancing, I also cannot speak much. There is one detail about dancing, however, that will always stick with me: my father’s “signature move.”
He told me that, if you cannot dance, or if you want to but want to avoid embarrassment, you simply do the “cabbage patch.” It is rather simple, really. Make fists out of your hands. Put them together – still as fists – as if you are creating one giant fist. Finally, bob your shoulders and gyrate your fists. There. You are doing the cabbage patch.

This anime for me was hypnotic. All the time I was watching it I was thinking, these characters are all just broody, fallen hot boys that have little development (but they are all different to one another), yet they are hot and I need to keep on watching this anime.
The lines of dialogue weren't the best, but I wanted to marry the voices!
The story is a classic damsel in distress sort of thing but very fleshed out for something that just wanted people falling for hot lads really.
The art was very nice, not the best but good enough to make all the lads in this alluring along with their syrup like voices.
I watched them burst into song thinking this is cheesy, I watched the moves by all the lads thinking it is so boy band like. And like boybands, there's always one you'll like and this one's…

Hmm...how to be as diplomatic as possible? First of all, I'll admit that I enjoyed this show and tore through it in two sittings because it's overall fairly entertaining and quite aesthetically pleasing (bishies, bishies everywhere, wooow). If you're not super into the reverse harem genre, then you may be more likely to enjoy Dancing with Devils; a person who's more experienced with the genre, however, may not like it nearly as much. Here's just a quick run-down of what I view as some core pros and cons of this anime:
Pros:
1) As I said, pretty boys are pretty. This needs no further elaboration.
2) The art is really nice-looking; I in particular liked the use of color and how the characters' movements seemed pretty seamless. It's just a nice, clean-looking show (and I don't mean, like...m…

Story - 7/10
The story isnt really bad on my opinion but I really love the cliffhangers they have each ending. It really hooks me in to watch on to the next episode or get hyped on it.
Its like a basic reverse harem with the boys fall in love with her.
The ending wasnt what i expected it to be so it really disappointing to me.
Art: 8/10
They did do a good job making the devils look really nice
but for Ritsuka i think they could do a quick fix on her. :/ Sound: 7/10
Well the musicals are nice but the lyrics ruin most of everything
I really dont understand the lyrics cause it doesnt make sense to me.
But Rem's song is pretty catchy so they get a high score.
Character: 6/10

Story - 3
I’ll be serious and straightforward here; I can’t generally really find anything redeemable in Dance with Devils, at least when it comes to the plot, mostly because it tends to suffer from the same problems that Diabolik Lovers had. And by that I do not mean the guys treating the heroine like a Masochistic-Blood-Pack-On-Two-Legs, not entirely at least, but it’s all the plot points put together that just makes me ponder why did I just watch 12 episodes of this. I felt like most of the story tried to insult my intelligence ; it is quite a simple story general…

Dance with Devils in a word: Ridiculous
The whole time, I was laughing so hard at how random and ridiculous it was. Imma be blunt right off the bat, it was not a good anime, but I had a lot of fun watching it with my friend because we made fun of it the whole time.
It starts off pretty normal and then all of a sudden the main girl starts singing on her way to school and I'm like "Lol, wut." Then she gets called to the 3rd library (2spooky4me) where all the hawt student council demon guys are lurking about in their free time or whatever. Then they start singing about how they are gonna be all #creeperstatus towards her. And then like the typical, reverse harem, air-head female lead she is she doesn't understand "Hmm...I should probably not be here or get involved with these creepers."

I like the musical concept of the anime, the music and melody are mediocre but it's unique nonetheless. Sure there are shows that's focused on singing and music but I don't think I've seen a "Disney Style" musical anime. Some of the song numbers are so cringey it's hilarious. I watched all 12 episodes just for the fuck of it to be honest. I didn't expect to enjoy it.
The story has already been done before, there's not much originality with the plot. But then again, it's the same for most harem and reverse harem anime.
I'm just glad that the main protagonist, Ritsuka is not the air head, one dimensional girl that everyone magically falls in love with even though she has no personality whatsoever. (I AM LOOKING AT YOU HEROINE OF AMNESIA). Ritsuka doesn't have the I'll kill you with my kin…

It's no masterpiece,but it's no where near as bad as some of the "objective reviewers/critic"would make it out to be.
One good quality for the anime is it's musical concept.Every character has a musical montage to flesh them out,it is a pretty cool idea honestly.
Sadly there is not much else to say about this.
The plot is about finding a special power ,vampires and devils a trying to find it.And the girl is the answer.
The main heroine is a self insert,a girl version of a typical harem lead.She always goes into danger no matter what,just out of curiosity.
Sure the devils in this series have cool powers,but when you realize they keep thinking that the girl is lying and that they keep flirting with her,even though they have little clue themselvs what it is,kinda makes me just smh in dis…

Dance with Devils really surprised me in a positive way. First of all I need to say that Im no big Harem fan, because in my opinion its always the same: weak or no story, weak and unrelatable main character.. I had a very bad opinion of Harems after watching Amnesia etc.. But anyways I wanted to give DwD a chance since a friend of mine requested it
Forget all the bad things about Harems, Dance with Devils is totally different! You have a great mainstory and great characters. The main character, teenage girl Ritsuka, has a strong personality and stays true to herself until the very end and is also very relatable. I began to like her very fast. Also the boys are not just handsome (as in other Harems) but also very interesting. Everyone of them has his own character which you can like or disl…

Dance with Devils caught me by surprise. I typically prefer stories with characters being the main focus of the show, how they develop and how they deal with the problems presented to them. Although, I've always had a soft spot for reverse harems ever since I watched Amnesia. As I picked up this show, I expected it to be just like any other reverse harem where 4 or 5 men fall in love with the same girl who so happen to all know each other. Dance with Devils isn't as simple as that. There is a reason why everyone is 'after her' and there is a plot that is more important than the reverse harem itself. EXPLANATIONS.

Our heroine Ritsuka is just an average girl who gets caught up in this 'war' between Devils and Vampires. Both claim that she knows where the forbidden grimoire is…

I really love this anime, since I'm someone who likes musicals, reverse harems, and... hot anime guys.
Story: 9
An ordinary girl's life changed when she found out that this mysterious "grimoire" resided in her. Her mom was kidnapped by a vampire. These demons offer help to find her mom, but basically harasses her for 7 episodes. But, all in all, it's pretty decent.
Art & Character: 10
Beautiful. The characters are basically a work of art. Even now, I still find it difficult to choose JUST one guy. The character designs suit the personalities of the characters very well. They are all unique and very distinct. The character development is nothing short of splendid-- it made me change opinions of one character (and it made me squeal in my seat, so yeah-- it moved me that it made me react st…
