I loved Attack on Titan and Another, etc. so I wanted to take the the next step up by looking at all the horror anime that exist! Then, I saw Corpse Party on the list so I thought, "Oh- this looks interesting." I click on it and then the 'ugly' pictures and descriptions show up. Geez.
The reason I gave this anime a seven was not because I hated it, it was because of the amount of gore there was. The story plot was very interesting, students being trapped in a haunted Elementary School that they somehow transported to on a dark, gloomy night at their High School (which is built on the old Elementary School's site), while they all try to escape in hopes of not being killed, considering the fact that the haunted Elementary School consisted of many killings in the past. The art is an outstanding (ten) to me, considering the amount of blood and body parts involved in it. Already in the first episode (each episode is at least half an hour long/ 23 minutes to be accurate), there will be guts an blood and dead bodies in at least every minute of the show. It is very revealing when it comes to showing guts and it won't hold back on jumpscares nor showing/revealing dead people/bodies lying on the ground. The sounds of the anime are good, but the animation is what makes it scary, not the background music or the screaming and gasps of dying people. Characters are somewhat good. In the beginning you may think "this looks like a regular high school-type anime" but boy are you wrong. As soon as blood and guts appear and are added to that, then those characters will no longer be the innocent boys and girls that look all kawaii in their school uniforms. I'm an average fan when it comes to horror shows but Corpse Party is way too advanced horror for me (unless you're crazy and can handle four episodes that last at least half an hour of guts, blood, intestines - oops, did I say too much? teehee~) Overall, it was a pretty enjoyable anime, even though blood and killing is pretty much involved throughout all of them.
Oh- forgot to mention, you know that creepy little girl you always see in horror movies? You know, the one with the long black hair covering her face and she's wearing a long dress and usually stands in random places? Yeah- you'll see her from time to time, so enjoy that! Oh- one more thing, make sure you don't watch this at night (you'll only regret it later). Here's another recommendation, watch this anime with your friends or even your parents if you have to, or might as well don't watch it at all! Being around friends while watching is a great idea (trust me on this cuz I watched this alone, in the dark, underneath my covers, in the middle of the night - not a smart move, should've watched it during the day time)
If you are already scared of Another or Attack on Titan or even Blue Exorcist, then don't even try going further into it and watching this. Just, watch it at your own risk if you really want to (like me), and have fun daring your friends to watch it hehe~
