Corpse Party: Missing Footage

Anthology of deleted scenes from the anime and nothing less. My review is not shorter because this site doesn't let me., and other scenes that show us the relationships between the cast we already know after the anime. some of them have a lot of fanservice like the ecchi yuri with seiko and naomi, and other are too cold and don't have enough to satisfy some fans, like the ayuma and kishinuma scene

Being a big fan of the Corpse Party RPG series that was released on the PC, PSP, I was expecting more of a quick bloody horror mini episode.

[The Story]
More of a prequel to the High school RPG of what happened, so not much is to be expected in this 11 minute episode.
[Sound]
More over, the original voice actors that voice acted for the PSP are here again, but not the full cast which disappointed me.
[Character]
Not all of the characters listed in the manga/game were shown, which wasn't too bad, but still would've been a good view to see.
[Enjoyment]
If you are a big fan of the ... series, you may enjoy it, but overall it's more of an introduction to it
Overall
Good art, original voice actors, not full cast, I see a potential for it to become a good series; hopefully in the future.

This is pretty much a prequel of what happened right before the main story. It doesn't explain anything or introduce anything, and could probably feel confusing to those who aren't familiar with the series, but I feel like you could watch this before you watch Tortured Souls, after, or not at all and wouldn't miss much. I chose before.
I haven't played the Corpse Party games, read the mangas, or watched the anime, but from what I can tell, in the simplest way I can put it, there was a murder at a school a while back, which is what you see in the beginning of ... this ova, and now those children haunt the school. Then the main characters somehow find themselves in that school.
That's what I believe happens in the actual story, this ova, however, is pretty much showing the characters lives the night before this happens. Showing that they all lived a normal happy life before things went bad shit crazy for them.
There wasn't much of a story here, but I did enjoy the gore in the beginning, at least I know what to expect throughout the rest of the series.

Effectively serving as an "Episode 00" to "Corpse Party: Tortured Souls", this short OVA provides a glimpse of what normal life was like for the cast of characters soon to suffer a gruesome fate. We also get a teaser of the gory substance, too. Once again, the sound effects are terrific and cringe-worthy.

I actually enjoyed this because it doesn't just give a sneak peak at the buffet, but adds to the characters as human beings, too. Not that the group grows on you by any means (don't get too attached to ANYONE), but this slice of life flavored preview does well in providing a ... tiny contrast to the main story. Give it a watch before or after. 6/10. Cheers!

At first, please read my previous review about the more interesting sequel, Corpse Party: Tortured Souls - Bougyakusareta Tamashii no Jukyou

About Corpse Party: Missing Footage, it represents a slice of life mini-episode showing every character we met in the main story. Ironically, it gives more screen time and information about useless characters. I might sound harsh saying so, but it was plus or less the case. Indeed, we kinda knew nothing beside relations between characters. That made me having trouble feeling empathy, fear or pain for those (except for Yuka, who finds a terrible fate).

This OVA was no more but an introduction to ... the 4-episode anime/OVA that brought blood, guts and horror. It should be watched before watching Corpse Party: Tortured Souls - Bougyakusareta Tamashii no Jukyou.

I came into this with quite a few misconceptions of this OVA so, take this review with a pinch of salt - I probably didn't get the full level of enjoyment from it as I should have.

I started watching this with the belief that this came after Tortured Souls (for those new to the franchise, that's the four-episode series based off the games). I believed this was a recap and introduction to the characters before the events of the main game/anime series. Essentially it is that but made two years before TS.

Serving as basically episode zero or a lost pilot episode I think this ... would have been better off as an introductory episode in the actual TS series rather than as it's own OVA. If you don't know the franchise or didn't read what this was about before watching it, it would be confusing and muddling to understand what's happening.

This is essentially just putting characters in positions and somewhat normal situations as an introduction but with nothing much to explain them other by their names. The sound work in the introduction scene I found extremely well done, but past that, something about this just didn't click for me. Some of this OVA's eleven minutes is simply some repeating cuts and similar sounds and although the sound work is done well, it just feels repetitive as though the creators didn't know what to put into it.

Watching this as episode one of TS would probably be better for anyone going into it, but watching it as a stand-alone is somewhat disappointing and unfulfilling.
