Review of Diabolik Lovers II: More,Blood
Before you read this review, I need to state that this is my first ever review of an anime/film/movie, and honestly, I've only started watching anime so my opinions may differ from others. I just had to give my opinion on this. I'm not necessarily sure where to start but let's get into it. Ok, the plot, the story. I'm not sure where this went wrong, but everything that was executed since the first season went completely down-hill. I believed that this story could've got somewhere with the development but no, I have left on the most excruciating infuriating cliff-hanger once AGAIN. It was probably interesting atfirst as it's a harem, with hot vampire boys all sucking the heck out of a girl repeatedly but the whole story, it definitely needs some work on a lot of things. I'm not quite sure what pulled me in, but nonetheless, I finished it which I honestly don't regret as I experienced something new.
Characters, there were so many and definitely an interesting asset to the anime. As a 13-year-old teen girl with no sense of reviewing, this anime honestly made me so distorted at times. I wasn't attracted to the hot vampire dudes, nor voices or even "those scenes", I really was expecting something more than just that but yup, ok. I wished that the story gave more depth and volume to each character's background but we don't always get what we want. The vampires... They were all psychotic sadists who only cared about Yui's blood, yes there were some moments here and there but I'm not sure how I felt about the character development in general. It literally PAINED me to watch this but as a fellow trouper, I finish what I start. I mean the obvious character developments were Yuki and Ayato, but oh god, it was the most minimal development anyone could ask for within the 2 seasons. Anyways, the other characters, cool, yup, I really didn't see much development in any of them but the different personalities in this anime were cool.
Music, sorry I cannot judge this as I'm dumbfoundedly new to the anime genre/world. I definitely loved the classical bit to it :)
Art, it was honestly so good. Compared to the recent animes I've started. I loved the character designs and color pallete. A yes from me.
Enjoyment was a hard one. Did I find it horrendously hard to watch? Yes. Did I regret wasting my time on 2 seasons for nothing to come out of it? Not necessarily, no. I just wished that things could've been clarified and for the story to have more depth, development, and literally a reason to watch it. I did enjoy it a tad bit, but I'm not really sure that I can say I truly enjoyed it.
Overall rating: 5/10, an average because I can't pin-point my enjoyment for this.
