If you like horror anime like me you have probably seen things like Higurashi, Another, Elfen Lied, Umineko, Shiki and much more. The list can go on forever but Corpse Party : Tortured Souls has a little something that sets it apart from the rest. This is probably the most f***ked up anime I've seen (I said anime; Ive seen some other messed up stuff). They left no stone left unturned and it didn't really help that I was watching it at like 1 am in the morning.
[Plot : 7/10] For the first 12 or 13 minutes I thought that this was super cliche and boring and nothing exciting was happening. One girl has a crush on one of the guys. A teacher ends up breaking up the fun etc. A group of students telling ghost stories in an abandoned building sounds very original right? Everything took a turn for the worse when all of the supernatural events started happening. At first the plot feels really boring but as the story progresses the there's a lot of good plot twists to keep the watcher watching. The plot isn't really the best part of this anime. Although there's only 3 episodes it gets its point across.
[Characters: 8/10] There's nothing special about the characters alone. Just a bunch of random personalities that you would see in most anime. A imouto who loves her onii-chan. two BFFs, A tsundere who fights with one of the male leads. However as the story progresses the inner feelings of the characters come out and you see how they begin to change when confronted with despair.
[Art 9/10] The art was really really good. Its the selling point of this anime. The art made all the disgusting scenes and atmosphere what they were. Its really graphic though so I wouldn't recommend this if you cant stand blood or the sight of someone getting splattered all over a wall. T_T
[Sound 8/10] The OP is creepy and sounds sort of like the Tasogare Otome x Amnesia OP. The sounds of "The murders" were gross and sounded good at the same time. The voice actors were good and once you finish the anime the ED is sad. The OST was put together well.
[Overall 8/10] A really good horror. It isnt as good as Higurashi but its better then Another and the recent horrors that came out recently. Once again its really graphic so dont watch this if you cant handle horror stuff. You can watch it here.
