Romantic tests based on the anime Dancing with Demons. Anime Dance with Demons Review

I watched this anime about six months ago, but unlike others, I couldn’t remember the plot at all. I decided to reconsider. And what can I say - I'm shocked. Especially from

Episode 11, where six demons at once, including one Cerberus and one dhampir, confess their love to the GG in a song in front of the Vampire King

No, well, what, he’s a harem.
From time to time there are some particularly sweet and warm moments, in addition to the occasional rare humor.
Although the plot is a bit convoluted. Oh, no. VERY TIGHTLY TWISTED.

GG's brother turned out to be her cousin, and even later it turned out that she was the daughter of the Demon King, and he was the son of the Vampire King, and these two races were waging a long war. Kick-ass is shorter. Like TV series on "Russia 1". And then Lindo also killed his father. Although he came to life almost immediately. And before all this, Lindo turned out to be an exorcist, although he was... evil spirits.

GG refused to live with her lover and preferred her mother and brother, they promised to meet in the future, the other demons and Cerberus disappeared, saying that next time she would become their property, and right before the credits another guy appeared with a strange book and who knows what will come later, because there will obviously be no continuation.

This is the second anime in this genre that I decided to watch, so there is nothing special to compare it with. The drawing is good and bright. The musical inserts surprised me at first, but a little later I got used to it. Except for one moment

at the end of the anime, everyone unites against the lord of the vampires and, in a cheerful dance with songs, declares their love for the main character. Well..um.. that is, the ruler is standing here. here you are. he holds the girl and threatens her, you sing. For what? why now? why is he standing and waiting? I understand that this is a haremenik, this is romance, mysticism, and I shouldn’t show off here, but... it seemed a little inappropriate to me ahahaha They should have sung after the battle, or something. It would definitely work

WELL PATIMA? Why did she choose Rem and still stay? Yes, they will meet again, we were hinted that this is not the last season, but. but I didn't have enough chatter. And what about Lindo's feelings? argh...

This anime can be described in one word: vaudeville. With bishounen in different ways. And a sweet tale about love. And then there’s a spoiler, although it’s very difficult to call it a spoiler.

And to dilute this sugary syrup, they killed one of the characters.

It is clear that with this very vaudeville they tried to reveal each of the characters, but all this turned out to be girlish fan service with the participation of idols. Everything is as it should be. And the obligatory cliches about the heroine’s suffering childhood friend, pianos in the bushes and “those twists” that you can guess about in the very first episodes. The climax is episode 11, where a group performance of aido...bishounen takes place with declarations of love for the heroine in front of the king of vampires. I was never able to overcome this phenomenon and squandered it. I have a neutral attitude towards harems, but here they clearly went too far with sugar.
But the anime has one plus: they didn’t stretch out these shoujo snot and made only 12 episodes.
From me 5 out of 10. And even then I think it’s too generous.

Description of the plot of the anime Dance with Devils

This anime tells us about an ordinary girl named Ritsuka Tachibana. Calm, not worrying about anything, she lived in pleasure and went to Chicot school. While Ritsuka was ordinary, the school she attended was not.

Many mysterious children studied there, including demons and their minions. They turned out to be Maj Nanashiro, Rem Kaginuki, Shiki Natsumezaka and Urie Sogami. Four demons who were in love with Ritsuka.

It is immediately clear that the genre of this anime is harem. Moreover, the same studio worked on it and “The Devil’s Sweethearts,” which means that the plots should be similar. But it was not there. In the anime, there is a fifth bishounen - Ritsuka's brother - Lind Tachibana, who with all his heart wants to protect his sister from demons. This makes access to the girl you like more difficult.

By the way, Ritsuka is not indifferent to them. Yes, yes, to all four guys. And because of this, the situation in the relationship between brother and sister is slightly tense. The setting in the anime is presented in a gothic style, just like Devil's Sweethearts. Ritsuka herself is presented as a positive and energetic girl who values ​​her relationship with her family. She is a second grade student.

She herself lives with her brother, mother named Maria and father. She has a pet named Roen, a Pomeranian. Roen is actually Ritsuka's familiar and his task is to guide Ritsuka on the right path.

Ritsuka's brother Lind is a third grade student. He has a confident and calm personality, and his hobbies are housekeeping and cooking. In fact, he is an exorcist and hunter of evil spirits. And his brotherly duty to protect his sister from demons complicates the situation for him.

And now a little about demons. Maege Nanashimo is the student council secretary at the academy. He is slightly selfish and self-confident. He is very emotional and therefore susceptible to provocations. And, based on this, he adheres to the philosophy that you need to live for today. He is also a member of the athletics club and thanks to this he has the opportunity to constantly demonstrate his strength.

Rem Kagikuni is the school president. He is a little cold, but very hardworking. He is interested in shogi. Shiki Natsumezaka is a fallen angel, and in school life he is the treasurer. He is an introvert, always keeps to himself and is therefore considered strange. Member of the arts club. And the demon is Urie Sogami. He is the vice president and also a sleepy demon. He is very experienced and famous in the demon world. Popular with women. He collects butterflies.

As you can see, every demon can easily win Ritsuka's recognition. But is it really only love that drives these demons? We all know that love is a sacred thing, and no one attributed demons to the shrine. And even if so, who will Ritsuka choose? And what is she willing to do for her lover?

▨◇◆♡◆◇Plot◇◆♡◆◇▨

The story of this anime tells us about an ordinary high school student - Tachibana Ritsuka. She is an exemplary, quiet student. And then one day Ritsku summons the school council, consisting of the most handsome guys in the school. When the girl came to the third library, where the council’s residence was located, she was told that she had received a complaint that the girl had violated the rules of the school. In turn, Ritsuka does not admit this, because this is the first time he has heard about this. After such accusations, the president of the student council, Kaginuki Rem, began asking Ritsuka about the “Mysterious Grimoire”. The heroine had no idea that after this question, her life would go upside down.

▨◇◆♡◆◇My opinion◇◆♡◆◇▨

At first, when they first told me about this anime, I thought: “Damn, it’s probably all the same as in The Devil’s Beloved, I won’t watch it!” But imagine my surprise when I saw the main character. She's not a log! Let's compare two harem guys: Yui (DV), and Ritsuka (TSD). When the vampires bit Yui, she didn't care at all. Yes, there were attempts at resistance, but in the end she simply gave up. But Ritsuka has a violent character. When she was attacked, she did not stand still, but reacted immediately and fought back. This is what got me hooked on this harem, although I don’t really like this genre. This anime also has a plot! In the same TVD (I’m probably already tired of it), throughout the entire anime the main character was bitten by the vampire brothers, and only at the end there was something like a plot. In Dance with Demons, we are given to understand from the very first episode that there IS a plot, so use your brains and let's unravel the mysteries!

Art Rating:9.5/10

The drawing here is good, even very good. Since I am a girl and first of all I pay my attention to guys, I have no complaints about them. And to the main character too. The drawing is bright and colorful.

Story rating:9/10

I gave it such a high rating because... There is a plot here at all! I already wrote above and made a comparison with the Far East, so I won’t repeat it. And yes, the idea itself is banal, a bit like another harem anime. But still I liked it.

Main music rating: 10/10

The opening and ending just delivered to me. I have never switched either OP or END.

Song rating: 10/10

I want to say something. Many people don’t like the fact that in this anime there are moments when the characters start singing. I honestly don't understand why. I like the songs, even very much (or maybe I have no taste). I especially liked the last song.

Character rating:9.5/10

The main character is a delight. I also wrote above that in this anime Ritsuka is not a log and can stand up for himself. The same scene in episodes 11-12. I won’t spoil it, see for yourself. But I will say that in these episodes the heroine tried to escape, and did not just stand like a pillar and watch what was happening. Each guy has his own character, they are all different. I can’t highlight anything, so I’ll end here.

Overall rating:9.5/10

Thank you for your attention!
