![]() ![]() During the first season (which is why I would have prefered to forget it…) one of the vampires (I think it was Reiji and then Laito when he chased after her) has implied that Yui wasn’t going to be able to escape from the Sakamaki’s not only because they would have killed her if she tried, but also because they would have been able to find her anyway with their vampire senses…Yeah, well, the Mukami brothers stole her right from under their noses and nobody used their awesome teleportation skills and spider senses to actually do something to stop it. Unfortunately, besides the “Eve” nonsense which I refuse to even get into, the rest of the story is not devoid of plot holes and incoherences. The Mukami brothers? Still somehow douchebags when they remember they have to act like evil vampires, safe for Azusa. The Mukami brothers are definitely more likeable than half the Sakamaki’s for one, I just can’t stand Reiji and Kanato Shu is a saint, Subaru is kinda cute if he drops the anger issues, while Ayato is…sometimes…remotely… actually a nice guy if he would drop his badass egocentric vampire act. ![]() Yet the fast pacing (15 minutes/episode) definitely played to its disadvantage. You know? I am starting to believe that if I would have forgotten most story of the first season, I think this second season would have been more consistent x2. ![]() I expected them to try and understand how Yui is feeling, yet I was thoroughly disappointed. All the Eve&Adam bulshit to a side and also ignoring that Yui was supposed to be a vampire by this time (huge plothole but I guess the original otome game didn’t give shit about it and continued from a state when Yui never actually had the whole issue with the Sakamaki-mom), I thought that the Mukami brothers would have brought a ray of light into my life, as ex-humans and everybody having went through very nasty things. …ლ(ಠ_ಠ ლ)Why can’t you people just accept exposition and development for what they are rather than shove “ I’m a bad bad vampire” down my throat? And MOSTLY when it comes to the Mukami brothers! The whole “biting is hot” thing going on in this show has become a running gag from the first season and yet this one still insists on it. It’s like when stuff start getting fairly nice and then somebody in the staff went like NOPE, WE HAD A LACK OF BITING THIS EPISODE! This second season makes me actually re-think the rating that I gave to the first season because they’re both 4 on MAL for me, but I genuinely think that this one actually TRIED to make sense in some parts, but it was not under any means Average (what I consider a 5 to represent), so it would be like 4.5. It’s still bad, consistency commited suicide like any other sense of ethics and morales I could expect, but goddamn it, it’s painful to say that I actually did come to like the Mukami brothers…or some parts of them at least. I have a confession to make: this season has become a freakin guilty pleasure for me. Like what does it mean? “More” Diabolik Lovers, version “Blood”? *sighs* First review of the year and a bad one…Īnyway! With no further ado, let me get into this. Ok, so, only me finds that comma in-between “more” and “blood” to be awfully distracting? I wanted to bite my fingers for having to put it there. The incident heralds the appearance of four new vampires, the Mukami tribe, and to her dismay these dashing young men have their eyes and fangs set on Yui as well! Yet troubled by new dreams and apparitions mentioning a mysterious “Eve,” Yui’s life is suddenly once again – quite literally – turned upside down when she and the Sakamaki brothers are involved in a fiery car crash. Synopsis: Yui Komori may (or may not) have attained vampire status, but due to her inexplicable links to the Sakamaki clan her life remains somewhat unchanged. ![]()
