Diabolik Lovers Vandead Carnival - Hell’s Secret Potions ~Please Read the Instruction Sheet Carefully Before Using~ Drama Review

Sorry for the kinda cruddy scan. I fixed it up as best I could. ;;;; I'll reupload if I can do a better one

Now that my Vandead goodies have arrived, I can listen to the dramas! And oh gawd, this drama. I'M REALLY CONCERNED. Just- it's beautiful. It's short, but good gawd, the crack. (；-◞౪◟-) Basically Shu, Ayato, and Azusa are at the Carnival, a lottery is going on and well... Ayato's gotta be that number one. Also he deems instructions unimportant. |D

Ayato and Azusa - whom Ayato has dubbed as "bandage man" *snort* - bump into each other at the carnival. Azusa explains the reason there's the giant line is because there's some sort of lottery going on. Since there can only be one person as the representative of the family, Azusa was sent over by Ruki and the others. Apparently in Ayato's mind, that means that if the rep wins, they're the best of the family, but WHATEVER lol. And of course since Ayato's always gotta be the best/first, he just decides to cut everyone in line for his ticket LOL .( ´艸｀)

Time skip~~ The chiming of a clock tower wakes up Shu, who's glad that his noisy brothers are away when Ayato barges in. XDD Apparently Ayato had won something (one way or another), his prize being some sort of "Hell's Secret Potions Set".

Shu gets to be Victim No. 1, getting sprayed with a potion that makes the affected person say the complete opposite of what they want. So instead of saying "dull" like he normally does, now Shu is saying stuff like "everything feels nice" and "you guys made my day, thank you" LOL. Granted it's still in his fairly monotone voice, but good gawd, he'd never say stuff like that on a regular basis. And the poor guy is so agitated from the crap coming out of his mouth but he can't do anything about it. XD

But nahhh, the fun can't stop there. Ayato's gotta shove a potion down Azusa's throat. |D I kinda imagined it like this but y'know, less violent and intimidating. ;w;

But anyway. NOW THIS IS WHERE I STARTED TO GET REALLY CONCERNED. Turns out this second potion is like giving them a mountain of energy drinks, because suddenly Azusa is suuuuuuuuuper energetic/cheerful. He's just going on about exercising and he's just laughing and laughing away, and even tries to drag Ayato into exercising with him or something. AND THAT VOICE CHANGE THOUGH.

I just- The whole scene; I'm dying, help. XDD I was laughing so much with a slight look of concern on my face and just a;lskdfj. Cheery as fuck Azusa, help me please. I DIED OKAY? JUST LISTEN FOR THE VOICE CHANGE; IT NEEDS TO BE LISTENED TO. (」゜ロ゜)」

But, all good things must come to an end; the clock chimes again and suddenly Shu and Azusa return back to the normal (with the Mukami panting out of breath, my poor babyyyyy). Ayato's all "ehh, got some entertainment out of it. Sorry guys?"

*Record Scratch*

Woah, woah, woah, hold up. Ayato? Apologizing? Blasphemy!! ━Σ(ﾟДﾟ|||)━

Yuuuup. Turns out that there's a side effect! Shu decides to read the instructions that Ayato oh-so-neglected to read. Apparently if you break the rule of using one potion at a time there can be side effects, such as apologizing incessantly. Ohhhhhhhh man, what a blow to Ayato's ego this must be. (●ω●)ノ He's struggling to apologize, going "S.... so.... sor...." while Shu is having an absolute kick out of this. And then it ends with Ayato running away screaming NO, GO AWAY SIDE EFFECT, I'M SORRRYYYY. (*≧▽≦)ﾉｼ)) 

Conclusion

THIS TOKUTEN DRAMA WAS BEAUTIFUL. Absolutely no regrets in getting it. My mood's been a bit on the blegh side thanks to school, but this definitely picked me up. You've got 13 minutes of pure comedy and it's glorious. If there's one thing you should take away from this drama, it's that reading instructions are important~ |D //smacked//
