Anime Review: Dance with Devils

August 13, 2016, 8:21 am

Ritsuka is caught between the power struggle of vampires and devils in disguise slash student council in their race to find the grimwoire.


Dance with Devils is part of the new trend of multimedia projects. It's a collaboration between Rejet, Elements Garden and Avex. The anime and then the manga came out first and then later on were the stageplay and game adaptations. I initially thought DWD is throwing shade against Diabolik Lovers since the vampires are the villains here, but then again they're both from the same game maker, Rejet.

I find the heroine very plain looking in the teasers but after watching an episode she's pretty after all. But it's irritating that she always put herself in danger. Every. Time. My favorite bishonen is Mage, but I'm choosing him just for the sake of choosing. I'm not that vested to the DWD boys. At one point, I got really excited with the villain, Jek. Turns out, he's bat shit crazy. I have this feeling too that Maksis is going to look very young and handsome. Just a hunch.

The gothic yet vibrant palette, for some odd reason, gives me an impression that it will have a very bad ending like maybe the heroine will die. I know it's not related but it gives me this ominous vibe. The characters designs are from  Hirotaka Maeda who is the same artist of Vitamin X franchise. That's why they all look the similar with the Vitamin X and Tokayo Yamanote characters.  

Someone left a comment before that it's like Diabolik Lovers but better. I thought too at first but it just too drawn out. I hate it when you get to the point of dreading to watch it and it's only halfway into the series. We could also say it's like Diabolik Lovers meets Uta Prince no Sama because of the musical aspects. But unlike in Uta Prince where they sing to perform, in DWD it was kind of awkward when out of the blue the first character suddenly belted out to a song number. It's like Disney cartoons, when one of the characters will have a moment. Then after a while, you'll just get along with it. Don't get me wrong, the songs are lovely especially the credit/ending song. But I think the reason it becomes too drawn out is to be able to showcase the songs. It will be hard to feature the songs if it's like the OAD format of Diabolik Lovers.  If it gets too hard to watch it, you can do it. Watch it for the songs! Since they're both from Rejet, should we expect for crossover in the future? Vampires versus Devils. Samaki brothers versus student council of Shiko Academy. Even though I complain a lot about DL and DWD, I would still love to see that collaboration.

Otome game, Nil Admirari no Tenbin: Teito Genwaku Kitan, will be animated. More info on MAL. Here's the synopsis:

The Taishou era didn't end in 15 years, but went on for another 25. In order to protect her waning family, a girl resolves to marry a man she doesn't even know the name of. However, just before the marriage was to take place, the girl's younger brother mysteriously committed suicide by self-immolation and was found holding an old book in his hands. Appearing before the bewildered young girl was the "Imperial Library Intelligence Asset Management Bureau," more commonly referred to as "Fukurou." According to these men, there exists "Maremono," which are books that greatly affect their readers. On top of that, ever since the incident involving the girl's younger brother, she unwittingly gains the ability to see "Auras" (the sentiments of the Maremono which manifest as bright lights and are usually invisible to humans). It was as though fate were trying to drag the young girl in its flames. And then, even though apprehensive, the girl chooses to venture outside her bird cage. Jealousy, hatred, scorn, compassion, and love. What awaited the girl was the darkness of betrayal that had already begun to bewitchingly inlay the imperial capital. Toyed by and swayed within that darkness, will the young girl finally reach the truth after her struggles, or...?

Akagami no Shirayuki-Hime 2nd Cour - 12 episodes

This is the second cour of Akagami no Shirayuki-hime. Shirayuki continues her budding relationship with Zen and at the same time fulfills her dreams to be a court herbalist. But then a mysterious stranger appears who is searching after Shirayuki.

There are officially  three guys interested with her. Okay, not really officially but the other two shown hints of interest to her. It's not a full blown reverse harem. I dismissed the third guy to be just an insignificant villain but a big thanks to him or all the stuff I've posted about Akagami would have gone to waste. Lol. But I still find its reverse harem elements weak and it's leaning more into 'related reverse harem'.

But truth be told, I was not looking forward for the second cour. I was bored with the first one. But this anime proved me wrong. The story picked up and I was really looking forward for each episode. I can't remember a sequel that was able to turn things around. Case in point, Hiiro no Kakera and Neo Angelique Abyss. It usually just gets worse.

There are new characters added on the second cour. I liked how Raj's storyline improved and also on how Raj and Obi's weigh on their feelings for her are both cute in their own way. They don't do anything drastic and they're just contended with how things are. I expected more from the hot big brother but he just faded away in the background.  Meanwhile, Kiki and Mitsuhide have their own little side story going on. Check out the review of the first cour here.
