Diabolik Lovers
Oshimeter
Synopsis
Offered no explanation whatsoever, Yui Komori is left by her father at a gothic mansion where she discovers her new housemates are six vampire brothers who see her as their personal blood bank. That's the setup, and it doesn't get lighter from there. Each Sakamaki brother has his own brand of unsettling: Ayato is aggressive and possessive, Kanato carries around a teddy bear and has the emotional stability of a lit fuse, Shū can barely be bothered to open his eyes. The dynamic between Yui and these guys isn't romantic in any traditional sense; it's tense, uncomfortable, and deliberately so. This is a dark reverse harem that leans way more into psychological horror than swooning. Yui starts piecing together why her father really sent her there, and her own past turns out to be stranger than she expected. The gothic atmosphere is thick; Zexcs went hard on the moody lighting and the soundtrack does a lot of heavy lifting to keep things feeling uneasy. At 12 episodes with shorter runtime, it moves fast and doesn't waste time on filler. If you liked Vampire Knight's brooding supernatural drama or the dark tone of Dance with Devils, this hits a similar nerve. Brothers Conflict fans might recognize the reverse harem structure, but fair warning, Diabolik Lovers is considerably darker and more intense. It's not trying to be comforting. If that sounds like your thing, it probably is.

Good
Ich freue mich es zu sehen
I have not yet watched the first episode of diabolik but heard it was good
Pretty lame ending to a drag of a show. I'm just happy its over. Would not recommend this show it is genuinely a waste of time.
Cool sword fight ig. Not rlly the choreo was not good, but it was unexpected at least. The rest of the episode is just Cordelia being a menace.
Ok so they explain how Cordelia got resurrected. It makes less sense the more you think abt it but fine. Cordelia realizing Yui can't swim was kinda funny lol.
And the plot thickens as the "awakening" finally happens. Why does this happen? idk man surely it'll be explained in one of the next episodes, right?
We get the play by play of what happened to Cordelia. I will admit, i laughed yet again when someone got thrown off a building. Also Yui really does trip over nothing quite a bit to the point its getting annoying. This episode wasn't as hard to get through tho so there's that.
Oh hey some actual plot. Showing them in their troubled youth isn't gonna make me feel for them. Like sorry that happened, but you still suck. Also that ending scene was so ew. It's like episode 4 all over again.
Ngl, I laughed a lil when the purple one fell off the roof. The white one is very edgy but like W for giving her a knife ig.
The plot thickens with their uncle hiding like a creep in the bushes. Something about an awakening I can't be bothered to care when none of the characters are likeable or charming in the slightest. The visuals and settings are still good tho so at least its got that going for it.
Ok so that's just straight up sexual assault, great. Grown ahh vampire carrying around a teddy bear. He's not "creepy" like they intended just annoying.
Why is the blonde one just in the bath fully clothed?? For what purpose? Was that supposed to be hot?? The stupid flashbacks make me feel nothing
Im uncomfortable and these guys pmo. Bro throws her in the pool gets a trauma flashback then "saves" her? AND THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ROMANTIC???
Yea so far I'm not vibing with any of these characters. All the guys seem like assholes and they aren't charming or funny enough to get away with it imo. At least the artstyle is nice. This is gonna be a long season...
A dark, intense ending that leaves an unsettling feeling, staying true to the series’ tone.
An episode setting the stage for the finale, with mounting tension and growing mystery.
The gothic atmosphere peaks, with scenes reinforcing the feeling of being trapped in a dark world
Intensity returns strongly, creating moments that leave you on edge, waiting for what comes next.
A chapter mixing apparent calm with an unsettling undertone, keeping intrigue alive.
