Corpse Party is by far one of the most earnest attempts I've seen at conveying horror for anime. It's graphic nature is sure to crawl under one's skin and even make you jump during some of the more high-tension moments. The premise is a relatively standard ghost haunting story which is executed rather well by leaning into some of the typical tropes that are usually seen in the genre.

Maybe the short number of episodes could count as a negative, however I still quite enjoyed the show in it's entirety and felt that no part of it was particularly rushed or bloated to take me out of the experience. Everything wraps up about as well as I could have hoped for by the end.

For fans of the original videogame which the show is adapted from, you're sure to see many cool references and homages to bits of lore coming from the entire franchise. It's important to note that the show is not a one-to-one adaptation and does take some liberties to ensure a more seamless experience, given the short runtime overall. Even in that case, I felt that some of the deviations were a bit more natural and in line with the spirit of the game - so I was not all too bothered by their inaccuracy.
