This show is utter crap because it's pure, terribad fanservice. It's the otome version of moe. It has a weak and meek main heroine that is pushed around by a lot of pretty bad boys, one for each flavor like the creepy shota or the wild beast dominating guy, etc..

90% of the plot is stuff like that, with just as little real substance or entertainment value as pure moe crap. All of the guys are annoying as hell because they are so ridiculously flat cardboard cutouts and nothing but a pretty design and voice wrapper around the fetishes.

Even the ending of the animes was pathetic catering to the audience by having the guys adress the audience directly in what was more something like a chara promo than anything else.

This is not something that has any real value as a work of entertainment but it's like porn without actual sexual content. It doesn't even attempt to be a proper story, there is some plot and all but it is so barebones and so slow and drowns in all the fanservice that it's not very important compared to seeing yet more times how one of the pretty bad boys is forcefully making yui his own.

And yui, well she is the only reason I watched because she is so delicious. But despite being quite likable early on that she is nothing but a doormat. She is so ridiculous codependent, passive and meek that no matter what the guys do to her she doesn't really mind and doesn't try to stop it. Nor does she ever really confront them about it and tries to improve the guys' treatment of her. She isn't even masochistic in the anime, just weak and pathetic. She does not get any enjoyment out of being treated this way in the anime, she just accepts it when it happens, forgets about it 3 seconds afterwards and then acts all surprised when it inevitably happens again 10 minutes later.

I'm eyspecially disappointed by Yui turning out like this because I really liked her a lot at first, but then she just made me facepalm every 2 minutes. Diabolik Lovers is the pathetic, vastly inferior anime / otome game version of Twilight. You'd think Twilight is already rock bottom but Diabolik Lovers proves that the abyss is truly endless.
