I don't watch a ton of sports anime, but Bakuten!! (commonly known as Backflip in the US) is one I do really enjoy.

The animation for the gymnastics alone is so cool:

like the extra little sparks for the dynamic performances?

the detail work for fluid motion in the hair and clothes as they're practicing

animating MISTAKES the boys are making during practice as they're still training (like Watari wobbling during his hand stand)

and everyone having really distinct personalities and designs so they don't all blend together.

(these shots are all from the movie, but the show definitely surprised me with how much I enjoyed it!!! The music is also really pretty and relaxing--listening to the song blue feather actually convinced me to start the show)

Para los que desconocen a Conexión Manga.

Está saga de revistas son exclusivamente mexicanas, tenían el propósito de dar un lugar exclusivo al anime, manga y la cultura japonesa dentro de sus diferentes secciones. Sin embargo, lamentablemente —chispas y más chispas— dejaron de producirse ya que recibieron múltiples quejas de la enorme desinformación que daban; no sólo de las franquicias presentadas, sino que también de la cultura a grandes escalas. Aquí yo pondré la revista tal y como viene escrita (eso incluye posibles errores ortográficos) sin ninguna especie de cambio. ¡Ahora sí! A darle.

La historia de Diabolik Lovers está basada en una serie de juegos tipo visual novel para el PS Vita, que ya ha tenido dos adaptaciones al anime; la primera en 2013 y la segunda temporada, de la que hoy nos ocuparemos.

Esta serie tiene mucho de oscuro, algo de misterioso y mucho de sensual. Si ya jugaron el juego encontrarán muchas similitudes en la historia, y si no, no se preocupen, pues Diabolik Lovers nos lleva de la mano al interior de las vidas y motivaciones de este sexi grupo de vampiros.

Viviendo entre vampiros.

Como recordarán la protagonista de esta historia es Yui Komori, una chica de 17 años con una vida normal, hasta que su papá, que dirige una iglesia, debe mudarse por su trabajo y ella comienza a estudiar la prepa de noche y a vivir en la mansión de los hermanos Sakamaki.

Los seis chicos son algo extraños e intimidantes, pero lo que más destaca de ellos es que son vampiros. Todos tienen interés en Yui y en su sangre, y una vez que ella hace este descubrimiento su vida no vuelve a ser igual.

Ha pasado ya un mes desde que la chica vive en la mansión de los Sakamaki, entonces empieza a tener extraños sueños en donde una voz la llama Eva.

Se despierta algo agitada, sólo para encontrarse los trillizos Ayato, Kanato y Raito junto a su cama, observándola. Los chicos quieren beber de su sangre, los tres a la vez, y están a punto de hacerlo cuando Reiji los interrumpe diciendo que es muy temprano para esas cosas.

Los Mukami al ataque.

Camino a la escuela todos van juntos en el auto y las discusiones y comentarios pervertidos no se hacen esperar, mientras que Shu se aísla escuchando música en sus audífonos. De pronto el coche hace un brusco giro, choca y se incendia. Nadie sale herido, pero los hermanos saben que éste no es un accidente normal. En la distancia se ve a cuatro chicos: los hermanos Mukami, responsables de lo que acaba de pasar.

El secuestro.

Yui queda algo perturbada por los eventos del día anterior y, como no puede dormir, da un paseo por el jardín; de pronto escucha de nuevo la voz que le dice Eva, y al voltear se topa con Kou, Yuma y Azusa los hermanos Mukami, que le cierran el paso. Ella huye como puede, sólo para encontrarse con Ruki, el mayor de los Mukami, que la secuestra.

La chica despierta en la mansión de los Mukami, quienes se presentan ante ella y le dicen que ahora vivirá en su casa, pues es portadora de la sangre de Eva y estando con ellos podrá encontrar un Adán.

Ahora, al menos Yui sabe el significado de sus extraños sueños, pero no quiere quedarse con estos chicos. Más tarde, Ruki la acorrala y bebe de su sangre mientras un extraño murciélago los observa por la ventana. Mientras tanto, los Sakamaki se preguntan por el paradero de Yui, pero creen que de algún modo regresar�� sola.

El placer del dolor.

En la mañana Yui se sorprende al ver lo cercanos que son los hermanos Mukami, a diferencia de las constantes riñas y distanciamientos de los Sakamaki. Sin embargo, su sonrisa se borra pronto, pues los chicos Mukami le prohíben ir a la escuela, pues podría escapar.

Azusa, el menor de los Mukami, se queda a vigilar a la chica y la lleva a su cuarto, donde le enseña su colección de preciados cuchillos. Pero las cosas empiezan a ponerse extrañas cuando Azusa quiere ver a Yui cortarse con un afilado cuchillo o bien que lo corte a él.

En el forcejeo Azusa resulta herido, lo que le da placer y desconcierta a Yui. La verdad es que cuando Azusa era niño era maltratado constantemente y al ver que al sufrir los demás eran felices, empezó a relacionar el ser lastimado con sentirse bien. Después, a cambio de la cortada que recibió, él succiona la sangre de Yui, preguntándose si es el elegido.

Humanidad perdida.

Después, Yui pasa el día con Yuma, quien la lleva a su jardín y le enseña sus cultivos, al final termina bebiendo de su sangre. El turno siguiente es de Kou, quien aprovecha su atractivo y trabaja como idol. Él cree que todo en la vida funciona dando algo a cambio, y le regala rosas a Yui esperando su sangre a cambio, pero ella no lo entiende y Kou se desespera y destruye las flores, para después beber de la chica a la fuerza.

Lo que Yui aprende es que cada uno de los hermanos Mukami tiene un pasado tormentoso que de algún modo los llevó a convertirse en vampiros —sabemos que Karlheinz está detrás de esto.

Los Mukami dejan que por fin Yui vaya a la escuela, y ella aprovecha para volver con los Sakamaki. Subaru confronta Yui en el techo de la escuela, exigiéndole respuestas, como si hubiera sido su decisión irse con los Mukami.

Pero entonces Kou interrumpe.

La libertad de Yui dura poco pues pronto vuelve con los Mukami. Yuma, después de recapturarla le pregunta por Shu y ella cuenta lo que sabe. Yuma parece ser alguien que Shu conoció hace mucho tiempo. Esta vez Yui es encerrada y usada como fuente de sangre hasta que es rescatada por Ayato, quien se enfurece al ver las marcas que cubren su cuerpo. A estas alturas es obvio que habrá pleito entre ambos grupos de vampiros, con Yui, como siempre, en medio de todo.

En conclusión.

Esta segunda temporada de Diabolik Lovers sigue la línea argumental del juego, siendo una adaptación fiel. Esta vez la serie se centra en profundizar más en las personalidades de los hermanos Mukami.

Diabolik Lovers: More, Blood es una serie interesante, visualmente muy atractiva y con buen transfondo que te invita a conocer al juego, y a dejarte llevar por la oscura seducción de estos vampiros. ¿Aún no caes? ¡Sólo mírala y déjate llevar!

¡Hasta la próxima y que la Fuerza los acompañe!

Diabolik Lovers (ディアボリックラヴァーズ, Hepburn: Diaborikku Ravāzu) is a Japanese visual novel franchise by Rejet.

An anime adaptation was first announced at a 2013 event called the "Rejet Fes 2013 Viva La Revolution". During the "Otomate Party 2013" event later that year, it was announced that the adaptation would be directed by Atsushi Matsumoto and produced by the Zexcs studio.

Diabolik Lovers (ディアボリックラヴァーズ Diaborikku Ravāzu), abbreviated as DiaLover, is a Japanese anime television series directed by Shinobu Tagashira and produced by the animation studio Zexcs.

Diabolik Lovers More,Blood (ディアボリックラヴァーズ モア、ブラッド Diaborikku Ravāzu Moa,Buraddo) is the second season of the DiaLover anime series which takes its title from the second otome game of the same name, Diabolik Lovers MORE,BLOOD.

However, the second season is not a direct sequel to the first season, but a spin-off based on the second game of the franchise.

Plot

First season

Yui is a kind and gentle seventeen-year-old second year high school student who lived a normal and peaceful life, until her father moved overseas for work.

“Not wanting her to be alone” , he sends her to live with an old friend and his six sons. When she arrives at their mansion, she discovers that they are vampires.

Only to be informed that there is a different, much darker reason she was sent to them. While she optimistically accepts her situation, she unravels mysteries of the Sakamakis' past and her own.

Second Season

After living with the Sakamaki's for a month, Yui begins to have strange dreams and apparitions regarding a mysterious purple haired woman. Her fate takes a turn after she gets involved in an unexplainable fiery car accident with the Sakamaki's.

This incident heralds four new vampire brothers who suddenly appear and abduct Yui for their own purposes.

PokeToons Episode 12 Review - Riding On Gogoat

This episode is 9 minutes long, but the storytelling is so concise! I love that there are no battles and that it just showcases an everyday life in the Pokemon world. I love how harmonious the setting is! I love how people are just taking their Furfrou out for a walk and how several of them have different patterns. There was one guy riding a moped with a Pancham on his back. There was an old lady who is chilling in her balcony with her sleeping Snorlax and chilling with Vivillons of different patterns and Flabebes of different colors. I just love the tiny details the episode pours into these particular Pokemon; there’s even a white Florges seen in a later shot!

The story is about the protagonist Julian had a scuffle with his friend Lucas and feels bad about it, but a help from a Gogoat allows him to be able to reconcile as a sightseeing tour allowed Julian to realize why Lucas had stopped that moment and how wrong it was for him to get mad. We don’t even know if this Gogoat is a taxi or if it’s just a wild one, but it just wanted to help cheer him up. I think it was such a wholesome thing to do and shows that a story with Pokemon doesn’t always have to be about battles, but it can just be humans and Pokemon bonding when one least expects it. I think it shows off a beauty of Pokemon that isn’t talked about often—just a peaceful aspect of the Pokemon universe.

The voice acting is actually interesting. Fun fact, Julian and Lucas’s voice actresses are Mariya Ise and Marina Inoue. If you aren’t aware, these two voice actresses were in the Pokemon XY anime as Bonnie and Aria. It’s feels a little coincidental that two people who were in the Kalos era of the anime are in this Poketoon episode about Kalos. Was it on purpose? Who knows? I appreciate the callback, though! This episode was produced by Studio ZEXCS, who did Episode 10. It’s interesting how the style differs despite having the same studio. I can tell they really like to experiment!

While this episode is extremely cute and beautiful, Pokemon fans will and probably are speculating possible locations for Legends Z-A due to the setting being in Kalos, specifically Lumiose City. Don’t worry; I’m one of those over-speculators too. I mean, the episode brought in locations that Lumiose City doesn’t have in-game like a botanical garden and underground catacombs. Is Pokemon really hinting new locations for Z-A? Also, if you look very closely, you can see several Nymble in one of the shots. Nymble aren’t Kalos Pokemon, so they’re definitely plotting something with this Gen 9 easter egg. What do you think about the episode?

[grumphare]

also Lady had a 2th project (or a sequel anime) for the 15th anniversary of the anime series as one of three anime OVAs/animes created, and it was based off of Momona’s rival/sister-in-law, Lillian and titled: Lillian.exe, and was a homage to the 1998 anime, Serial Experiments Lain, just like with the Sunshine OVA and the other Lady OVA which also aired on TV, Lillian.exe aired on TV as well, unlike the other two which aired at 11:00/11:30, Lillian.exe aired at late-at-night, but at different times and dates on different channels, the main ones, it aired on were Jewelpet’s normal broadcast homes, TV Tokyo and TV Osaka, unlike the Sunshine and the other Lady OVA, which aired on TV as cross-promotion, Lillian.exe aired on solely on TV, but appeared later on home video.

This was also the only Jewelpet type of media or type of animation from a season’s universe to not feature an appearance of Ruby and her human partner, Lady’s human partner for Ruby being Momona instead, it focused on Lillian, this also did feature Luea, but she was only mentioned or an cameo, or speaking off-screen until the final episode where she made a full appearance, though not appearing, there were mentions of Ruby and Momona, and also cameos of characters from Lady and other shows in a non-canon sense. Here’s the recreated poster I made from the dream of the actual poster i saw in that dream. Genres: Cyberpunk, Psychological Horror, Techno Horror, Science Horror, Neon. TV Networks: TV Tokyo, TV Osaka, TV Aichi, Family Gekijo, Star Channel. Opening:「DUVET」 by Jasmine Rogers and Bôa, song lyrics by Jasmine Rogers, Airdate: October 23th 2025 - September 2th 2026 (TV Tokyo), Lillian - Voice Actress: Risa Taneda, Animation Studios: Studio DEEN, Studio Ghibil/ZEXCS (additional help), Sponsors/Creators: Sega Fave, Sanrio, Bandai, Bushiroad, Yume Creations.
