Reviews:
“Rejet’s Diabolik Lovers ~Haunted Dark Bridal~ was a show we found about halfway through its airing, and it quickly became one of my favorite shows that season. The plot is pretty simple: Yui gets lost and ends up at the dormitory where her new schoolmates all happen to be vampires.
Season three has been well received by audiences and critics alike, with praise going to the plot twists, character designs, plot progression, and animation quality, among other things. There is agreement that it does not seem to be ‘as good as previous seasons but still very entertaining nonetheless. It seems like everyone was ready for this plot twist!
Expectations:
Expectations for Season Three of Diabolik Lovers are high. It is expected to be released in late 2022 or even early 2023, depending on whether it follows the plotline from both seasons one and two. There are some rumors that the plot will be very different and might include some romance between characters.
