honestly, i had never heard of corpse party before it showed up on my youtube feed (god bless the youtube gods that have not yet taken it down). i had ZERO idea of what i was getting into, and, quite honestly, i thought at first that this would be pretty boring. i QUICKLY got invested though, and in less than three days i had watched it about four times. not long after finding out about it, i found out about the games, and from there, it was only a rabbit hole of discoveries.
corpse party tortured souls is a really great anime if i do say so myself. if you're into more gorey stuff, then this works just right. it's got an interesting story while still not being TOO hard to understand. all the characters (or almost) are all pretty greately written, and all play a nice part in it !! the arts…

This anime adaptation has great dark vibes and explicit gore scenes, but...
The main problem is how rushed the story turned out to be. 4 episodes are too fast comparing to its original game experience in approx. ≈20 hours. Many scenes have been cut out, sped up, or made up. Especially, starstarting from 3rd EP it separates the scenario from original source and goes wild. Too wild.
Though it's hard to avoid the fact how excellent the bloody scenes work. They are more grotesque and terrifying than its game's blackscreens with crying girls (and sometimes boys). The explicity is equal to 'Another' or 'Elfen Lied'.
In nutshell, Corpse Party Tortured Souls is:
「Working nicely as a bloody circus and pure "don't think, just watch" experience for 1 evening」
「But also lacking its true storytellin…

If we forget the guy's barely disguised fetishes, the story is not that bad. (like the sister and panty shots but i mean, its an old anime its not that surprising to see that kind of subject there)
I did have a hard time remembering every character's name sometimes, which made it harder to understand everything, but the overall story and ending is good and unique. The gore wasn't that exaggerated or hard to watch
But if you're looking for a horror anime i think theres better options out here since im guessing the "fetishes" i listed above can be something not everyone is comfortable watching

Corpse party is short and bitter, horrifying to the bitter end.
Just enough detail is provided every episode to make everything coherent and no questions are really left hanging by the end and extra 10 minute OVA. A large group of friends enter a ghost thriller, with a lot of gore, and unfolds a quick story about love and loss.
Nothing is romanticized, this show did not waste any time. There are very few tropes, yet this story is not very original. It was a condensed horror experience that I recommend you watch if you like ghost anime, gory thrillers, psychological horror, or just a good thriller. It is less than a few hours to get the whole experience, so give it a go if this sounds like what you're looking for.

Started watching this at 3 am and got done at 5, i regret nothing. It was very good, you should give it a go
I did not know what would happen at any point, it really was surprising. Can't belive people sleep on this one
i mean, it's a horry so they are all a bit dumb but they got smart haha
i think if you like horror and gore then it's just the right fit for you
The animation itself was very good, it never got boring. But i did get some chills here and there, it's an interesting story and it's easy to follow. It's only 4 episodes but they made use of that, it was just enough

Corpse Party is by far one of the most earnest attempts I've seen at conveying horror for anime. It's graphic nature is sure to crawl under one's skin and even make you jump during some of the more high-tension moments. The premise is a relatively standard ghost haunting story which is executed rather well by leaning into some of the typical tropes that are usually seen in the genre.
Maybe the short number of episodes could count as a negative, however I still quite enjoyed the show in it's entirety and felt that no part of it was particularly rushed or bloated to take me out of the experience. Everything wraps up about as well as I could have hoped for by the end.
For fans of the original videogame which the show is adapted from, you're sure to see many cool references and homages to bi…

Pretty crucial watch for gore lovers b/c it kinda popped off when it first came out! It's a decent anime but the plot and general ability to follow what is happening gets a little confusing because of the whole "fitting a 10+ hour video game into four 25 minute episodes" thing, I can't totally blame that on them though they work with what they got. I think sometimes the gore gets so excessive that it takes you out of it a little, like it's so much that it's like wut is going on even. There's a lot of harm done to children so if that's something that really upsets you, I would avoid this one. There's also so much unnecessary panty shots of teenage girls, but at least there's no SA other than a random boob groping in the beginning. Morishige is a little nasty freak which was fun to watch, an…

This show is hard to watch. It does a good job of making the characters' deaths meaningful.
The downside to this show is that it is truly meant for people who have played the games, so the story feels a bit tangled and can be a bit confusing for those who haven't played the games. This is particularly true since there are nine characters and it is a struggle to keep track of who is who and what has happened to each one of them.
That said, I am quite fond of this show and I think it has one of the best ending scenes I've seen.
Needless to say, this show is quite gory and dark, so people who don't like horror won't enjoy this one.

Corpse Party keeps you on edge but is not necessarily the eerie and unsettling horror you are looking for. It doesn't provide the feeling of doom to the viewer and doesn't necessarily cause us to overthink the plot, and it is more of a mystery thriller and a watch if someone likes speculating the plot as they go about. The twists and turns keep giving those 'oh no' and 'not this please' moments except in the second and third episodes, where things go a bit boring, but wait for the fourth episode, which seems worth the wait. One extra star just for the fourth and final episode. It is a one-time watch if you are a horror, thriller, or mystery buff.

Corpse Party - My review
Corpse Party - My review
I would like to talk a little about the anime Corpse Party and leave my review and opinion about the anime since my favorite genre is horror, I always like to analyze the work well and then give my opinion, so here goes:
This anime is good, the horror scenes and the sound design are great, but the animation and characters are simple to average and some things in the scenes are weak in the sense of logic. However, the horror scenes are very good and the anime really gives the sensation of scaring and causing strangeness and bizarreness.
ANIMATION STUDIO: asread. Mirai Nikki's animation studio, which in turn is the studio's most prominent anime, produced 33 productions. I can't say more than that.

The game is amazing, with an interesting story and characters, fun gameplay, and really good gore. The anime butchers the anime is almost every way. The plot is chopped up, rearranged, and stuffed into 4 episodes. The characters are brought down to mindless clowns who I was glad got picked off so fast. The ending was so fucking absurd and silly like something fucking South Park would do with Kenny for a joke. But the gore in the anime is a step up from the game and is alot more detailed. Ill give praise where its due the music and voice work was pretty good with good animation. If your looking for mindless murder like horror movies of old, give it a watch but I highly recommend the game.

Videogame-to-anime adaptations are always kind of iffy. They can range from a fun and action-packed ride (like Akiba's Trip: The Animation) to a forgettable piece of mediocrity (like Stand My Heroes: Piece of Truth). And horror anime, well, they're even more iffy. So when you set out to make a horror anime based on a videogame, the odds are already stacked against you. Those of you reading those of you reading this review have probably also noticed the rather small episode count this show has, even though the game it is supposedly adapting takes hours upon hours to complete, and has multiple well-crafted endings. All of the aforementioned details led to an anime that, well, let's just say, dropped the ball in just about every way. This show was really hard for me to get through, and now I…

There is a saying in my country that something is a "shit in golden wrappings".
This is perfect example of that sentence,the gore,atmosphere,overall "creepyness" are perfect,but "the meat" of this anime is just bad.
The sheer amount of stupidity of the characters is overwhelming and it goes way beyond your usual "dumb teenagers in a horror movie".
The next issue is the pacing of the anime,its WAY too rushed,i havent played the game and for most of the time i had no idea what was happening and how and why.
If you like gore you can give this a watch but tbh just save your time and watch When They Cry,its way better.

I don't know who this will get to, and frankly I cannot be assed to write a well-thought-out review on this dogshit OVA; but please for the love of God, just PLAY THE GAMES. Emulate the PSP port or buy the 2008 PC port on Steam. This OVA is not worth your time.
This "adaptation" rushes through the entire game's plot just to get straight to the gore and boob-groping fanservice (some of which isn't even in the games?), completely taking out all development the characters go through, blurring their connections with each other, and taking away from any actual artistic merit or message the games have. Corpse Party has a very hopeful message and a very strong theme of friendship and this OVA has none of that.
It was already pretty distressing that they extended the prologue to take up half th…

Title: Corpse Party: Tortured Souls - A Nightmarish Descent into Darkness
Corpse Party: Tortured Souls - Bougyakusareta Tamashii no Jukyou delivers a nightmarish journey akin to a harrowing horror movie. Trapped and isolated, the characters face gruesome deaths while hope fades away in the chilling atmosphere of Heavenly Host Elementary School.
The series wastes no time plunging viewers into a visceral and intense experience. The violence and gore are unrelenting, pushing the boundaries of discomfort and testing the stomachs of even the bravest viewers. The graphic and haunting deaths add to the sense of hopelessness, leaving no room for happiness or respite.
Despite the short runtime, Corpse Party manages to evoke a sense of mystery, drawing parallels to other thrilling series like Ano…

Well, well, well, what do we have here? Corpse Party: Tortured Souls - Bougyakusareta Tamashii no Jukyou. Quite a mouthful, isn't it? And let me tell you, this anime is quite a ride.
First up, let's talk about the story. It's a horror story, so if you're not into that, then this one isn't for you. But if you're like me and enjoy being scared out of your wits, then you'll love it. The story is creepy, atmospheric, and keeps you on the edge of your seat.
Next, let's talk about the art style. It's not the most groundbreaking I've ever seen, but it definitely does the job. The character designs are unique and memorable, and the animation is smooth and fluid.
Now, onto the main characters. They're all pretty inte…

I first watched this in middle school after seeing a walkthrough of the video game and I absolutely hated it. I had nightmares for weeks afterward (I realized years later I probably just am not a fan of horror/gore) and would get anxious anytime I thought about it. It's been almost ten years since I first watched it though and now I'm more okay with saying it's not bad. As much as it sort of scarred me and made me not really want to get into anime, after seeing more anime over the years (some utter garbage) and having gotten past the "trauma" (terrible word for it but I can't think of anything better atm) of watching this when I could not handle it, I think this anime is not bad.
The music is pretty decent as well, it does a great job as a horror anime (I am sort of a pussy when it comes…

If you love the game and REALLY want more content, go ahead and watch it I guess. Just don't expect it to be that good.
To be fair, they only had four episodes to work with. It's still pretty bad.
There's blood, there's gore, and if you're a fan of the series, that's a good thing. It nailed that aspect of the franchise, but fumbled pretty much everything else. The characters don't get much new or interesting development. In general, they're less fleshed out and explored than they are in the game. That's understandable since it's only four episodes, but that doesn't make it any less frustrating.

Characters : 3/10
The drawing is pretty bad, girl characters look very similar and every time it switchs to a different character, I don't recognize which character it is or even think it is the same.
Sound : ∞/10
This is probably the best scream sounds. Love how they smile, then switch to how painful they are plus it shows their face when they scream. Especially on the youngest characters. Love how they torture little girl and wont let her die easily. Best of best.
Art : 8/10
Dark enviroment, quite good for horror anime.
Enjoyment : 10/10
Watching romance anime makes me feel empty, but watching this anime bring me back again.
Overall : 10/10
This anime can bring your souls back to normal when you hate your life.
