Would you want to use some of your time to bother watching people's organs getting splashed everywhere?

Story: 8 - There is a high school named Kisaragi Academy which had built over an elementary school named heavenly host elementary school that was torn down due to the disturbing occurencces happening around that school. Then during a reunion at the highschool a bunch of people were telling ghost stories to each other when they suddenly found them transported to the time where heavenly host school was, and to find their way back to home they have to survive and prevent themselves from getting killed by the ghosts of those who reside and haunt there. I actually never held any expectations from this one but I decided to try it because it came under the category 'genuine' horror. One of the best thing about this anime would be that you won't be able to guess the gory outcome of this pg-13 and 'dangerous' ghost story because from what i've seen is that the main characters get threatened,almost die yet they still survive which can't be applied to corpse party which is why I loved how this story turned out despite it's story's potential to become a kiddy ghost story.

Art: 7 - I wasn't too pleased because a lot of things looked fake which is a major factor for this anime but overall it was satisfactory.

Sound: 7 - Though it did sound creepy but it didn't match up in level because the soundtrack was meant to frighten us more but to me it felt the level of creepiness was low but it didn't sound out of place so I wasn't displeased.

Character: 8 - In survival horrors the characters are one of the most important elements you need to be careful about. I think if the characters were given more depth then their deaths would have been even more shocking and there would've been more impact but overall I'm satisfied with the characters and the way they're portrayed.

Enjoyment: 9 - I highly enjoyed this series as it was a first for me to see this much gore but that just meant it didn't hold back which is a good thing. I think people who can't manage frequent and detailed gore shouldn't watch this series as they may find it disturbing or disgusting.

People who liked: Another, Elfen Lied, Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni and Kakurenbo (If corpse party had a pg-13 rating it would have turned out similar to this movie) will enjoy this series due to similar themes or gore.

Overall: 8 - Overall I liked this series but I won't recommend this series to the faint-hearted as they won't enjoy this series.
