The way the show handles itself hardly comes as any special in terms of OST because most of the time, you’ll be listening Yui fighting for her life and screaming her lungs out. The soundtrack is mediocre at best with an eerie like background.
#DIABOLIK LOVERS EPISODE 1 ENGLISH DUB REVIEWS SERIES#
Unfortunately, the atmosphere of the series obliterates any sense of artistic value since it twists around the idea of sexual abuse. The mansion the characters live in has some artistic value with an English-like architectural design.
Their eyes reflects those of a vampires so some of them are noticeable. The story itself also assumed contain a form of romance but usually comes out in an atrocious way that leaves a bad taste in my mouth.Īrtwork wise, there’s nothing really special with the way the characters are designed besides their outfits. Unfortunately, it’s never really fully explored so it’s up to viewers to guess in their heads.
Each of the guys also seems to have some sort of history as demonstrated by occasional flashback scenes played throughout the series. Are we supposed to feel sorry for the girl? Perhaps but with what she’s doing, there’s a complete sense of hopelessness for her. These usually end up with Yui losing blood and crying herself to tears. Most of the early episodes focuses on the guys whom each gets his chance to spend some time with Yui. There is almost no plot development or characterization there is never in fact any character development since all of them sees Yui as food with their vampiric eyes. The construction of the story is absolutely ridiculous. Regardless their differences though, they all want one thing: Yui’s blood. Most of them have contrasting personalities ranging from Shu’s laziness, Reiji’s demanding attitude, Ayato’s aggressiveness, Kanato’s unstable mind, and Raito’s sadism. The only difference is that instead of the guys feeding them, it’s the other way around. In their minds, they are the masters of the mansion and Yui is their dog. Most of them are designed to look aristocrats and behaves as such. The result though? Vampire rape, hickeys, and blood scars.Īs an anime series aimed at a female audience, I suppose the guys have some appealing features. To make matters worse, she even compliments on the guys in hopes of getting a break. Whether it’s at home or at school, she submits to her tormentors without ever trying to escape. No matter how girlish she is, there’s no limit on her stupidity and how she deals with her new lifestyle. It’s a story gone wrong with Yui being the heroine.
On various occasions, she tries to get out of her situation typically involving rape-like scenarios but finds it ever so difficult to do so. In essence, she becomes exactly what a frail girl is - helpless, pathetic, and unresisting. Yui also gets treated by the vampire boys as almost a dog on a leash. She is their happy meal and they’re loving it. They view Yui as a meal nearly every time their eyes are set on her. Of course, the guys that plays with her aren’t exactly normal. She takes the role of a toy and the boys just loves to have their play time. Why? Well it’s because she is constantly being played by the guys of this show. However, I would describe Yui as an empty doll. Well, on the surface, we know that she seems to be a normal girl with a sweet personality. The series begins with a young girl named Yui Komori who we know almost nothing about. But only this time, we deal not with a gym clothes but instead with vampires. Zexcs handles its production and from one of their more recent notorious series known as Aku no Hana (Flowers of Evil), it’s their chance to step up to the plate again. This show is something of a tragedy - an anime adaptation that is almost an insult to theĭiabolik Lovers is an anime series adapted from the visual novel of the same name. Diabolik Lovers belongs to the category for failure with all its rights. 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. In fact, recent years has shown that many anime series never lives up to its original material that result in disappointed fans. This series.or rather this abomination is what I would call a trainwreck that never had itself on rail.
