We go from a band of egotistical, sadistic brothers torturing a young maiden to a troop of nearly powerless, whiny siblings fighting against a dominating mother figure (Cordelia) and their uncle. There’s no plot then suddenly, all the plot. The second half of Diabolik Lovers does pick up some, but there’s no real transition between the two.

The first half of Diabolik Lovers is so one-note that you probably could sleep through the entire thing and make it out better than those who trudged through it. Half of the series consists of Yui crying, a vampire brother biting her, him enjoying it just a little too much, Yui crying some more, rinse and repeat. This is literally the “plot” for the first six episodes in the series. Yui Komori becomes the most recent bride, and the brothers all take turns torturing her and drinking her blood.

Diabolik Lovers is a 12-episode series about a family of vampire half-brothers that are offered sacrificial brides.
