Diabolik Lovers Blu-Ray [US Import]

Always loved this series - this version also contains a dubbed version in English but I prefer the Japanese verison, the translation is not as preoperative.

Excellent

This definitely throws out the idea of a vampire romance (thank Otomate). I wouldn't have purchased it if it was romantic. For people who do not like the show for those reasons, you have to understand that she is their food. This is not a hentai, they are only biting her. So if this is too much for you, don't watch it. It is called DIABOLIK lovers. Japan's fans likes it and they have made it abundantly clear that a season 2 will be coming out very soon.Now for the story-line. It is a bit backwards as you progress through the eyes of Yui. She is lured into the house for reasons unknown requested from her father. She then meets 6 young men; triplets, two full brothers, and a outcast brother. The characters are very memorable and this can't be said for a lot of anime. They are each crazily unique in their own way. You find that each of the brothers have a distorted view of the world and you can see that from their childhood memories and behavior. There is some foul language and grabbing which I personally don't like but the story becomes more clear as you reach the end. It still leaves a lot out for the fans and there is more in the video game, so this is the reason why they need to have a season 2. It wouldn't be complete without it.I can understand that Diabolik Lovers isn't for everyone, but there are way more inappropriate manga and anime out there, I can name few. So watch it all first before you critique it. I personally loved it and adding it to my vampire collection: Trinity Blood, Vampire Knight, Betrayal Knows my Name, Hellsing, Owari no Seraph, Nightwalker, and Gankutsuou.

One thing to make sure for before you buy this anime is that you know the basic story. This anime is by no means a romantic story, do not go in expecting a romance like from Twilight or something. This is a HORROR anime more than anything. The relationship between the protagonist and the vampire brothers is one of a victim and her abusers or captors. Later she developes Stockholm syndrome and cares about the brothers. However it is far from a romance anime and you should not watch if you are hoping for a romantic vampire story. Search elsewhere for romance. That being said, this anime is great if you want a disturbing horror story. So if you like horror then give this anime a try. Stay away if you want sweet romance though.That aside the disc is very pretty and the menu screen is also pretty nice. Definitely a good buy if you find it on sale, not the full price. It is after all only 12 episodes so the original $40 price is somewhat crazy to me however I bought it for about $15 so it is definitely worth that amount.

こちらのブルーレイ、リージョン自体はAで北米・日本共通ですが、更にプレーヤーが米国またはカナダのものでないと再生できない制限付きです。（裏表紙にもはっきり書いてあります）なので私はPS3で見ています。日本製のパソコンでは見れません。また、選べるのは英語音声＋字幕なし または 日本語音声＋英語字幕 の二択です。ご注意ください。
