It’s a little scary – no need to get bent out of shape about it… I also think I felt disturbed partially because of the juxtaposition of anime visuals and horror. It is certainly possible that the Corpse Party games expand on characters’ personalities and histories, but this OVA really focuses on the mystery of the situation in which the kids find themselves and the resulting terror. Had this been 12 episodes, I would have expected much more. Nine characters fall into Heavenly Host and with slightly under two hours, there simply isn’t enough time to give detailed backstories and much characterization to the teens. But while Corpse Party most certainly delivers shockingly detailed visuals, the anime lacks in characterization and story. Dead bodies filled with maggots, tongues cut out, and eyes ripped from sockets – this anime is extremely graphic and there are many disturbing moments I could not believe I was watching. The students are trapped in the haunted Heavenly Host and must try to find a way to escape before being killed or going insane. The viewer watches her slowly and graphically die as Naomi tries to save her. Naomi finds Seiko hanging in the bathroom, but not yet dead. It is obvious that this school is haunted, but the situation quickly turns from terrifying to tragic. Slowly but surely, shadowy figures, blood leaking from the walls, and creepy voices add a terrorizing urgency to the escape. The students are mysteriously split up and the focus of Corpse Party’s first episode shifts to Naomi and Seiko as they try to find an exit. The art in the decrepit underground school perfectly sets the mood for what is about to happen. You might want to see a dermatologist, buddy… But the premise is not what impressed (and scared the hell out of) me about this anime – it was the artists and animators’ abilities to create incredible visual terror. Thus far, the events of Corpse Party are very generic and cliché – promises of a happy future of friendship immediately following a spooky story that, unsurprisingly, directly relates to the trouble in which these kids find themselves. During a charm ritual to bless their friendship, however, the floor beneath the students collapses and they all land in different areas of a dark, abandoned school. The ghost story is interrupted by a teacher who helps the teens bid farewell to Shinozaki, who is transferring to a different school. Of course, Kisaragi Academy stands where Heavenly Host once was. The anime begins with a group of high school students at Kisaragi Academy sitting in a dark classroom as one of them tells a scary, but allegedly true, story about the terror at Heavenly Host Elementary School: A teacher died and the principal committed suicide. I simply read that this OVA was incredibly disturbing, decided to watch, and have concluded that reviewers are correct – this show is incredibly disturbing.

This OVA is based on the Corpse Party series of games, none of which I have ever played…as of yet. The internet truly did not disappoint.Ĭorpse Party: Tortured Souls is a 4-episode anime OVA (original video animation – released on home video formats, not on television as is the norm) that essentially totals the length of a horror movie. Unfortunately, horror anime and manga have generally disappointed, so I decided to see what kind of recommendations the internet could give me. I just don’t want you showing it to me.I’m a huge fan of Junji Ito’s work and was watching slasher films before I was a teenager, so although I’m not a horror expert, I certainly enjoy the genre. Listen, I’ve said it before, I don’t care what your search history looks like. This is made more bothersome by the fact that there are multiple panty shots of the underaged female protagonists more than once. But I couldn’t get past the idea that the dialogue is fetishizing these human processes. The choice of language is rather strange, which is perhaps a problem with the translation, and not the writing itself. Okay, so you want to include that in your own post-mortem? It brings up the body’s process of voiding its bowels after death frequently. Another spirit writes of the way she died and is sure to include that she soiled herself and that it was embarrassing. One of the characters describes having “bloody BM.” Do you mean that there’s blood in your stool? You sound like someone’s mom telling the school why her child won’t be attending that day. It’s the way that it’s presented that bothers me. I get it, there’s gruesome death everywhere in this game, and I shouldn’t be bothered. Mostly, I was somewhat bothered by its overt descriptions of bodily functions. The story itself has problems, but nothing severe.
