THIS POST MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS FOR THE GAME AND ANIME, "DIABOLIK LOVERS: HAUNTED DARK BRIDAL."





I love otome games, and I love game-to-anime adaptations. Unfortunately, the two usually don't blend that well. This is due in part to the nature of otome games: multiple endings/outcomes, different routes, character issues, etc. DIABOLIK LOVERS had me raging by the end of the first episode.


There are things I liked about it, to be sure, and I do plan on watching the series in its entirety. The biggest problem I have with the series is that although it spans twelve episodes, these 'episodes' only last fifteen minutes. You heard me right, fifteen minutes.
