Wow... just wow. I dont usually write reviews because i feel like my inability to choose the right words to describe my opinion will prevent me from doing an adequate job, but this anime was simply too amazing, and i felt the need.
I would like to continue by saying that although many websites have marked this anime as ages 13 and up, this is NONSENSE. This anime is not for everyone, as its is one of the most gruesome and gory anime i have ever seen(this puts Elfen Lied to shame xD).
There are some people who would find literally every scene after the first 15 minutes or so to be in some way disturbing(personally only 4 or 5 scenes bothered me at all).
Finally i would like to note if you plan to watch this series you should probably first watch Corpse Party Missing Footage as it is a prequel.
Now for the Review.
Story 10/10: The story was very gripping. It keeps you very absorbed in the events that are unfolding, and constantly has you asking yourself questions. There were many moments where i literally found myself leaning forward slightly in my seat.
Although it is rather fast paced so there is a lot of stuff that happens that you dont understand. And if you dont pay attention during most conversations you will be even more in the dark than the writers intended as the story progresses.
Art 8/10: The art was certainly not bad. It was at the very least on average with bar that anime fans have set. The characters design and movements were very smooth. I had no complaints.
Sound 9/10: The quality of the voice acting was perfectly acceptable, i had no complaints. I personally didnt find there to be a character with an irritating voice like there sometimes is. The BGM was very fitting. it added a lot to the suspense and tension in some scenes, and added mystery and immersion to the story in other moments.
Character 8/10: As always in the horror genre there are truly intense situations. As always in truly intense situations, there are stupid people who will make these situations worse for them or others. There were some characters i hated, some that i liked, and some that simply made me angry.
This is where i lack the ability to fully put my opinion into words, but i can at least say that there is a large variety of characters, and each one definitely adds to the story and the feels you get from this series lol.
Enjoyment 10/10: This series was truly outstanding. It is a must see for anyone who likes the horror genre or can stand intense gore and gruesome scenes. I loved every moment i spent watching this unfortunately short series.
Even the moments that stirred emotion up in me or caused me to become sad were simply amazing to be a part of based on everything else. And i usually let individual moments of a series that really shook me in some way affect my opinion greatly.
Overall 10/10: This anime was simply a masterpiece. I had no real complaints Personally i rate every section of this anime to be a 10/10, but thats only because of the sheer enjoyment i got from the series, so i still had to poke at the holes i found as much as i could.
I loved this anime and will be recommending it to all of my friends. This is one of the anime i will never forget, for both good and bad reasons.
Hope this was helpful ^_^
