CORPSE PARTY

CORPSE PARTY 

READ AT YOUR OWN DISCRETION

WARNING NOT FOR YOUNGER AUDIENCES due to content

3^rd Halloween Review Reaction

Came out as a Survival Horror, Adventure and Dojin Soft Video Game Series originally created by Makoto Kedoin and developed by Team GrisGris.

This is a manga that had several stories that came out where a story follows different characters with their different perspectives and experience in their respective manga.

I was able to read Corpse Party: Blood Covered which followed a group of High School students in Kisarago Academy which was built on the grounds of a former school called Tenshn Elementary School which was demolished after a string of disappearances and gruesome murders. A supposed gathering of friends turned into an adventure that if they survived it will be a very traumatic experience for them, if there will be a survivor.

In the manga it was very gruesome for a graphic novel having a very graphic art where readers can literally see all the innards and blood all over the place to show how brutal the story can be considering that the characters are all High School students who just got dragged into some alternate reality where the souls of the ones who died in the former school that was demolished are trapped for all eternity or until the mystery of their deaths have been solved, the deaths in the story turns out to be a repeating incidents on how the formers students died or how they met their end.

While reading this manga all my reactions were if this were read by those who are not used to these kinds of genre their stomachs might turn even though these were just illustrations due to how detailed the illustrations were. Back then I was thinking if this was turned into an anime or a live action this will be one hell of a viewing experience.

Years later an anime adaptation came out and I have not seen it yet for I am not sure if I can finish even one episode considering how graphic the manga was, just imagine how graphic and detailed an anime version would be.

The anime came out with title Corpse Party: Tortured Souls and the setting of the story is in Heavenly Host Elementary School the school that was demolished and replaced by Kisaragi Academy after the numerous incidents, disappearances and murders that happened in that school.

The group of students that got warped from Kisaragi Academy to Heavenly Host Elementary now has to find their way back home.

The anime version was based on the manga Corpse Party Blood Covered where students gathered together telling stories and stuff that would really scare someone. The group performed a ritual called “Sachiko Ever After” a ritual that was suggested to be performed by friends and that no matter where they are, they will always be together no matter what. The ritual involved a piece of paper cut out in a form of a girl. In the ritual a chant “Sachiko-san, we beg of you” nine times in their heads and later each one of them are to hold onto the piece of paper and pull it in one go. But the ritual turns out in to an experience that they will never forget. An earthquake occurred and later the ground where they were sitting on collapsed. The anime came out as an OVA with four episodes.

The anime version as expected when watching it for the first time was indeed very graphic and no censorship was included in the anime adaptation. Guts and blood were all very clearly shown in the anime giving it a rating that no child should even try to watch it due to the effect that it might end up being traumatic to younger viewers and those who cannot handle these types of shows.

After one episode of this anime I can say that I can expect more in the other 3 episodes although I have finished the entire OVA of four episodes. Expect more blood and over spilling guts all over the place.

I would say this anime is another perfect watch for those who likes these kinds of genre anime. I also want to watch bloody anime filled with action and violence but this one was topping that anime that I have watched before since this series included younger characters not to mention those characters were high school students and one middle school kid and they only have one adult in their group. The series follows the group as they try to find a way back home or wake up from this nightmare.

Overall this series is rated for mature audiences due to the theme and content of the series as well the graphic details and literally no censorship was added in the anime adaptation. Just like in the manga the artists did not spare any ink in making detailed drawings of blood and guts. A twisted anime series but for sure some viewers will like watching this series specially those who like a genre this bloody.

Highly recommended for mature audiences and those looking for blood, gore and guts in an anime series not to mention no CENSORSHIP for this series. NOT FOR YOUNGER AUDIENCES
