Why would you assume this show would be any less shitty if the roles were reversed? I certainly don't. I've watched two and a half episodes of this turd and there is literally nothing else to it other than the "fun" of watching a female being physically harmed and terrified and mocked. Do you deny this? Or are you one of those people who tries to deflect the issue by commenting on avatars? |

Wow, really...?
The animation and designs are nice and there's tons of ear candy, but the characters are all not-so-nice-people. I especially can't stand Hirakawa's character who calls the main girl B**** chan all the time. Sadness because I keep thinking of Rei saying it. x__x Watching it mainly for the seiyuu, but yeah, this isn't a series I would be eager to own. |

You know I've watched a decent amount of reverse harems in my day but this one just rubbed my skin the wrong way on so many levels. Even as a male i found it extremely offensive. All the sexist and insulting remarks are really irritating. And the series pretty much goes in the fashion where each guy gets a chance to dominate this poor girl.
The story is just BARELY there and hardly any of it progresses through each episode because it's overshadowed by all these vampires being incredible dickheads. I mean honestly i'm not trying to judge peoples fetishes but are there girls out there who REALLY like to be treated this way? Honestly i'm surprised I've made it to episode 3. I'm mostly waiting for someone to step in and kill these azzholes already. |

Evil people are part of life. If shows didn't have evil people, then there wouldn't be any drama. One can hope there will be a payoff at the end. |

Based on what I've seen, the payoff is supposed to be for the intended female audience to groove on projecting themselves into the lead character's place. Oooooo, being abused by six bishonen - delightful! I honestly don't believe the show is designed to appeal to those who fantasize about being abusers - it's designed to appeal to those who fantasize about being abused in a certain way.

Yui Komori is a positive-thinking girl who nevertheless is troubled by seeing spirits and experiencing poltergeist phenomena.
This anime would be so much better if this sentence ended with "so she carries a crossbow and chip on her shoulder to deal with any of them that get in her way." Sadly, we get a girl who doesn't mind being called B*tch-chan. Of all the things to license, why this? There are so many more fun shoujo anime. |

My payoff would be her wielding a wooden stake machine gun with a maniacal gleam in her eyes and her mad laughter bouncing off the walls as she lays waste to all the evil vampires.

Weird, some kind of delayed duplication.

I've played the game and depending on how the anime goes it can get pretty dark 
Some people are calling it sexist or something which I don't really get, it's aimed at girls not guys.
I like to think the success of other vampire shoujo/josei titles factored into it like Vampire Knight and hey you could even cite Twilight if you want

Don't confuse what some like to fantasize about with what they actually want. People--including myself--fantasize about all sorts of stuff that they'd be horrified if it were true in real life, you know? I doubt the vast majority of people who played GTAV really would want that fantasy to be reality, right?. I'd assume the same goes for an anime like DL. |

Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaa~
Well, that aside, I can't say I'm particularly surprised. I, uh, hope it does well for Sentai? I guess? ...Nope, still laughing.

Yes, thank you. These shows are fantasy and can let people indulge in things they can't or won't do in real life. I don't assume guys who like rape hentai are actually rapists so don't assume girls who like 'girl falls in love with her captor' shows mean you can kidnap and rape girls.. it's all fantasy and playing out kinks.

Well... I'm glad it got picked up and will be buying it. I'm curious about how much it'll cost though since the episodes are 15 minutes each.
