Corpse Party: Musume (Manga) add

Recommended

I actually wanted to try reading or watching Corpse Party but I never had the time so I haven’t yet. Although, I watched a few episodes of the gameplay from PewDiePie and while I was looking around Batoto for something to read, I stumbled upon Corpse Party yesterday. Truth is, there are several Corpse Party manga over there and I don’t know which one is the real one. So I just decided to judge them based on the cover. Then I found Corpse Party: Musume. As you can see in the cover, the girl over there is Naomi, part of the main cast. Although I ... noticed that she wears a different uniform and has huge boobs (In the game, she already has big boobs but I can’t help but be more surprised in the manga.) After a few chapters until the ending, I realized that this wasn’t the original Corpse Party plot. I was really hyped up about the ending and was saying “Nooo! You can’t end it like that. I need more!”. Really, it was a neat ending but I don’t think it is the best ending you could’ve given the readers. More on this later.

PLOT – 5/10

Okay, I gave the plot 5/10 because it isn’t perfect. It’s not that there’s something as perfect, but I think there are lots of plot holes. Mainly because the events in the manga happen so quickly that you won’t get to enjoy the plot too much. If you’re looking for a manga which is more focused on giving a really dark horror story, I won’t recommend this. Yes I do admit they managed to really think of dark elements in the story but they are just small mini-stories which when you put them all together, it won’t make a great plot. Although, I’ll give credits to the real ending for making it more twisted than I expected. The real ending feels like an epilogue somehow but since it has a few chapters, I was a bit mindblown like “They’ve done it, what else could these few chapters contain? An epilogue?” then later on, I realized I shouldn’t have finished it since the ending, as I’ve said earlier, “You can’t end it like that.”. Try to guess if it was a good or bad end, but for sure you’ll get it right based on my reactions here.

ART – 9.5/10

I really really really like the art. It is too detailed at points I didn’t expect it to be. I was expected it to be a bit mild in terms of gore, death, blood, panty-shots, and other scenes. I was expecting the scenes to be like Mirai Nikki, where I felt like everything is too mild for a story like that. But really, after reading this manga, I was totally like “Whoa, they didn’t hold themselves in making the art, huh?”. I was amazed on how they portrayed the scenes but as I expected, I didn’t get scared even as I read the manga all alone in the middle of the night. Yes, I don’t really get scared easily, but I once read a manga which did scare me. Probably because this manga has too many scenes for adults and panty-shots. I know this is tagged as ecchi but it is supposed to be horror, mystery, and supernatural too. You could do a lot better in terms of scaring rather than turning the readers on. I’ll still give credits to it having a few scenes giving me the chills. If you’re looking for something scary, I don’t really recommend this but if you’re looking for something to gross you out and turn you on, this is it.

CAST – 8/10

I gave it an 8 out of 10 since I appreciate them giving Naomi a lot of screen time or whatever you call it. If you’re guessing that she’s my favorite character, you’re exactly right. Also, I like the surrounding dark elements in the character stories and personalities. You see, I’m a fan of dark themes/plots and I especially like it when my favorite character has a dark past, a change of heart, broken mind, or whatever. Although the cast here is kinda small, I liked it since they managed get a good background story and plot twists with regards to the characters while managing not to make them Out-of-character. I like how they acted and all. I mean, they did stuff that I totally wasn’t expecting and I really like the surprises.

ENJOYMENT – 8/10

Okay, okay, I gave this an 8/10 not just because of the ecchi but because, like I said, I’m a fan of dark themes. If I did not enjoy this manga, I wouldn’t finish it in one seating. Seriously, I started reading the manga and I didn’t stop until I finished it. Probably it is because I’m always excited on what will happen next. I really enjoyed on how everything went on until the ending. Like I said, they gave me surprising stuff which I totally didn’t see coming. In the many dark stories I’ve read (mostly fanfics), there are many many stuff which are over used. But this manga, they managed to actually make me “What happened? I wasn’t expecting that! Oh no, why? How did that-!? I knew it!” and when I say things like that in my mind while watching or reading something, it means I really like the story. I was actually wishing for more but, I don’t think there will be more.

Overall, its a nice alternate story for Corpse Party but it could do a lot more. It actually has potential which I’m sure will be great if they gave it more time and more thought. Goodbye now, thank you for reading. If you have any comments for this manga, please don’t hesitate to do so. I would really like to hear thoughts of other people regarding this. Also, if you have any recommendations on what should I read or watch next, please do comment. I appreciate it. Thank you guys. See you next time.

Mirai Nikki (TV) (Anime) add

Recommended

Hmm, how do I start this. Actually, I didn’t like Mirai Nikki before (while it was airing.) and placed it on hold. I was thinking, it was just the average survival game with a grand prize, so I stopped there. But that isn’t the only reason for giving it up. At that time, there were heavy spoilers everywhere, people/fans talking what’s gonna happen next, how they like the ending, what is the plot twist, and everything. Yes, it is a really popular anime and gained fans everywhere. Popularity somehow means discussion and discussion somehow means spoiler. It was stupid of me to read through them ... but in the end, I didn’t care. I liked the idea when I learned what’s going to be the ending, I kinda imagined things, maybe even enough for my own fanfiction. after some time, I gave it some thought to finish the anime. So, enough of my own thoughts, let’s proceed to the review. I minimized the amount of spoilers here to be safe.

PLOT – 9.5/10

The plot is neat, though what I didn’t like is they are throwing out too much mystery then suddenly explaining it towards the end. I’m sorry, my brain just couldn’t handle that much. As I said, it is neat. I didn’t really notice any plot holes or maybe I was just too hooked to the story to notice. For a survival game, I found interesting is the feeling you get from the story. It has the potential to bring out the feels in you. And yes, I admit, I cried a few times in several scenes. Also, there are a few plot twists which totally messed up my predictions in the story. I was like, what? The story is quite unique, I would say. There are many overused plots, character stories and backgrounds but this managed to stand out from them. I may have said I didn’t notice any plot holes in the story but the part I didn’t like is why did they have to face each and every contestant. I mean, there are 12 participants and one or two may have killed each other off because facing the others. Though they were able to use that effectively and I realized that the anime wouldn’t be that great if it weren’t for that. So for all the headaches, mindblown, feels, mysteries, plot twists, and everything they gave me through the plot. I gave it back a 9.5/10.

ART – 9/10

I like the art, yes, but I’m still not going to give it a 10/10. I don’t think the bloody scenes isn’t enough for this anime, but I know that’s just me. In fact, I’m sure that the bloody scenes were just enough, it isn’t overused and also not underused. The fight scenes were good though, I haven’t watched some good fight scenes in a while since most are quite repetitive. Mostly you get is an overpowered main character who you know would win each and every battle and sometimes (worse, always) gets away with no scratches. The way they beat the opponent changes though and I’ll give some credit for that. But this time its different, I actually got some thrill from this anime and I liked that. Also, there are 26 episodes in total, just enough for the whole story. You see lately, I feel that a manga’s potential to be a great anime is reduced when it is adapted to just a few episodes and they try to compress the story to fit the number of episodes which I think is such a waste. So anyway, I’ll give the art and animation a 9/10.

MUSIC – 8/10

The music is very very good, in some way. I mean, the OP definitely fits the anime and its plot. Although I can’t comment much on the ED since when it rolls, I start to think about the episode I just watched. You see, I just mentioned that the throw too much mystery at once. I try to anticipate the next events there. Anyways, before we get off topic. I think the background music during several scenes were a huge part of how it can bring out the feels. I mean, the story itself is kinda lonely, but without a great music to back it up, I don’t think it’ll end up the same. I so loved both the two OP, they bring out some excitement like somehow the adrenaline rush. It makes me active, I don’t know why. I’ll give it an 8/10.

CAST – 7/10

I like how they used characters with so different personalities and how they made their background story but I don’t think its great enough for a 10/10. You see, you get a main character who is always dependent. Yes, I understand how he is afraid of killing, who likes to kill anyway. Maybe me, but it isn’t allowed, so… Off topic. I don’t really like his character but he taught me some things I didn’t expect. I was thinking that if I would be the main character, I’ll get no hesitation to kill or whatsoever. I mean, when everything is THAT messed up, what choice do you get? None. But I learned that talking is important and the truth plus the reasons behind the events, will forever be hidden if we only resort to violence. In the end, I liked the main cast despite hating him before since I was like looking at a mirror. Like the pathetic hopeful dreamer I was. 9/10 if that was the only case. But I thought that, how come these people get this kind of background story and yet. Ugghh. There are some things I can’t comprehend. I mean, there are people who I know are powerful enough to win but didn’t. Pure luck or destiny maybe? Nah, it was the author’s decision. Anyway like I mentioned above, main cast meeting each of them and learning their story, was an effective plot towards the ending. Such background story is 9/10 but the cast itself is 7/10. Sorry.

ENJOYMENT – 8/10

Overall, I enjoyed the whole anime. It lasted in my brain for quite some time and I know for sure that the lessons and stories will be in my heart forever. Yes, I’m quite serious in that and not just being cheesy. I mean, it managed to slip into my dreams so this anime may have been special to me. I watched it continuously with such excitement and happiness so I can’t deny that I really enjoyed this anime. With all the anime that’s been aired and airing, some just leaves a special mark in history and I give this one a nice thumbs up for that along with the anime which I really enjoyed before.
