It was almost like the creators though "hey, this guy/gal is just gonna die soon anyway, there's no need to give him/her a personality". The voices fit for each character (jap) and the soundtrack was good. The sound helped create a creepy and mysterious atmosphere. Some facial expressions and minor things could improve, but overall the animation and art style was very good. I liked the fact that the gore worked and was part of the story, and not just "there for show". The gore was terrifying and well done, the lightning and shadows were spot on and the creepy stuff were indeed creepy. The character design and the animation was great. well, I'm gonna go find a toilet because I really need to pee right now, we can catch up later, bye!". I mean "this guy just told me there are ghosts here and the floor is filled with blood and corpses. There were quite a few things left unexplained and some things the characters did were just plain stupid. The reason I give it a little above average on the story is because it had a few holes in it and they didn't show everything that happened (probably because the time wasn't enough). The ending was also a surprise, as well as the characters actions. However, you never know who will survive, or if anyone will survive, which I think is really good. It's unoriginal and predictable, but it works. To escape, they have to solve the mystery of what really happened to the children, and set their spirits free. It's your typical horror story some school kids perform a ritual and end up in a school that's haunted by the spirits of dead children and their victims. Have in mind that I have not played the game. It's interesting enough to watch (since it's only about 2 hours in total), but it could have been better. Be warned, there are a lot of gore and violence, as well as some ecchi. It's not the best horror anime I've seen, but it's definetly not the worst either. They the group needed to return the thing that was stolen from them.Corpse party is. They discovered the way to appease the spirits of the vengeful ghost children. Through this, and not a harrowing investigation, the characters learned of what they needed to do. There was never even a hint of her being able to do this before it became necessary. Except in the OVA, this was a power Ayumi simply had. This could be from the game and the idea of such an ability I’m not against. This allowed her to be much more aware of what was going on around her. This took away any sense of mystery to this world.įor instance, one of the characters, Ayumi Shinozaki (voiced by Asami Imai), had a strong connection to the spirit world. It would even answer questions it asked no less than a few seconds prior. Here, the OVA would exposition all the information necessary. But at least in video games, you must enter the room these kinds of clues are in. A common mechanic that exist within video games. Many of the problems that the show presented got solved off-screen.Ĭharacters learned the history of the school through newspapers and journal entries. This, on the other hand, ignored any sense of connection.

I have seen plenty of plots stumble between points A and B. With this as the reality I was working with, I came to a single conclusion.Īs it stands though, this OVA had a lot of missing elements. What you see in one, you can expect to find in the other. That assumption being, Corpse Party the OVA didn’t change much from Corpse Party the game. Except this can only work if we operate under a certain assumption. But it can help explain why they happened. It doesn’t change the flaws and problems of this show. The other answer to my question is something I have never considered before.

I can’t imagine that is the case because me wanting to play Corpse Party is due to the series being so choppy. If this was an advertisement for the game, I would have to say it was a success. Me wanting to play the original source material has everything to do with this show. A video game that, at the time of me writing this review, I have not played. The obvious answer is, it’s an adaptation of the video game of the same name.
