Show sucks ass

that's the review. No point in writing a long review about plot because there wasn't any.

I'm not sure if I enjoyed this anime. Plot is kinda interesting, but when you closely look at the mc. Her acts doesn't really make sence. She let the brothers do whatever they want to her without any bigger resisting or fighting. NO RAPE!! or SEXUAL ABUSE!!

The grafics are pretty good. I personally liked the detailes of hair and eyes, which were really elaborate. Oposite are some objects in the house which didn't fit in the plot (If you remember mc's bed for exemple).

Characters looks good, but for second sight you can feel that all brothers act practically same.

I'll take it straight. This anime isn't for everyone. I guess there won't be much men who would say they liked this show. Even girls will propably have diferent opinion, since mc is acting really naive, shy and helpless (NO HATE!).

Aterall I think this anime is average. If you like shoujo anime you should probably like this one too.

Everything about this anime is seductive, yet at the same time off-putting. If I had to describe this in one word it would be pretty. The art is beautiful and I could listen to the guys’ voices all day long. I also loved all the music. The fact that this was made from an otome game is quite apparent from the sudden reverse harem and total lack of Yui’s character development. Whereas many harem/reverse harem anime point toward at least one girl/guy being more important than the rest, this is just like an otome game giving all the guys equal appearances and equal relationship development (though Ayano does receive a bit more).  Yui does have more personality than the protagonist of Amnesia though, and the guys do have a bit of backstory.

The seductiveness of this is increased by the personalities of the guys. Not only are they all hot vampires, they also have personality kinks. None of these kinks appeal to me, but for someone who does find such “bad” personalities attractive this is very seductive. We get overly possessive, controlling, cold-shouldered, sadistic nutcases. All of whom push her for sexual pleasures against her will. Back to the seductiveness though, oh these guys’ voices. Sucking noises and gasps overbound the series. I don’t think I need to expand on that.

The show is off-putting in that (at least for me) the guys all have unappealing attitudes and the fact that it is constant sexual harassment. Don’t get me wrong. I appreciate the fact that they are not the typical too-good-all-around-average-guy, but I do not find these personalities attractive. I really appreciate Kanato. I love crazy characters and so, though I in no way wanted Yui to get with him, I enjoyed every minute of his screen time.   

Overall, I would say you should watch this without too many expectations. Look forward for great music and voices with pretty art, but not too much storywise. After episode 6 the plot did pick up but when it ended it seemed that the plot could have been entirely bipassed and nothing would be that different.

This was awful. The male characters were abusive asshats that I prefered get a stake through the heart & the girl was a spineless dummy. The story or lack there of did not get going until the last few episodes. I am not sure what the writers were trying to do but it flopped. Lots of forced feeding that was really creepy when a child vampire got in on the actl Yuk! Ewwww! Gross!

I am going to add this minor spoiler. She was given cranberry juice to drink to help with her blood loss. The writers need to go back to high school biology 101. Cranberry juice is a blood thinner. Everyone knows that if you have anemia the LAST thing to put in your body is ANY kind of blood thinner. Well, this is besides the story stupidity of anyone being able to survive the blood loss that girl went through with all those leeches sucking the lifes blood out of her all the time.

trashy anime, but the original visual novels are actually pretty great.
