EP1 Multiple Separation Jul 24, 2013

A group of schoolmates from Kisaragi Academy perform a friendship charm called "Sachiko Ever After" for classmate Mayu Suzumoto, who is about to transfer to another school. Upon completing the charm, they are engulfed by an earthquake and transported to the cursed Heavenly Host Elementary School, separated from one another. Friends Naomi Nakashima and Seiko Shinohara reunite and search for an exit together, but find that all the windows and doors in the building are sealed. While they are resting in an infirmary, Seiko notices she has lost her paper charm slip and leaves Naomi to look for it. Naomi is then attacked by a ghost and narrowly escapes with her life before encountering a girl in a red dress. When Seiko returns, Naomi berates her for leaving and drives her away in anger. Naomi later searches for Seiko to apologize, only to find her hanged in a bathroom stall.

EP2 Broken Hinges Jul 24, 2013

The Kisaragi students learn that Heavenly Host is the site of a murder incident where school teacher Yoshikazu Yanagihori allegedly cut out the tongues of four children. Ayumi Shinozaki and Yoshiki Kishinuma are attacked by the ghost of one of the victims, but are rescued by the ghost of Naho Saenoki, a famed blogger who posted the Sachiko Ever After ritual online. They later find a bag of the children's severed tongues, which can be used to appease their spirits. Meanwhile, two of the other child victims kill Mayu by smashing her body against a wall, while her teacher Yui Shishido is struck in the head by the undead Yoshikazu. After the girl in red separates siblings Satoshi and Yuka Mochida, Yuka is pursued by Sakutaro Morishige, whose discovery of Mayu's remains has driven him insane. Yuka is rescued by Yuuya Kizami, a student from Byakudan Senior High School, who proves himself to be insane as well when he stabs Sakutaro to death and declares Yuka to be his own little sister.

EP3 Unconveyed Feelings Jul 24, 2013

Yuuya pursues Yuka until he is knocked unconscious by Yoshikazu. Meanwhile, after restoring three of the four children's tongues, Ayumi and Yoshiki are transported back to Kisaragi Academy. They are approached by Yuki, one of the appeased child spirits, who shows Ayumi a vision of the murder that reveals the true culprit as Sachiko Shinozaki, the girl in red. Following an argument with Yoshiki, Ayumi returns to Heavenly Host to save the rest of their friends by herself. In Heavenly Host, Naho reunites Satoshi with Naomi. Yuka is captured and tortured by a partially skinned Yuuya. Yoshiki arrives and kills Yuuya before he sacrifices himself to protect Yuka and Ayumi from Yoshikazu. Satoshi and Naomi find Yuka, who dies from her injuries in Satoshi's arms.

EP4 Sorrowful Truth Jul 24, 2013

Ayumi tells Satoshi and Naomi that in order to return home, they must appease Sachiko and perform the Sachiko Ever After ritual again using their paper slips. Ayumi confronts and vanquishes Naho after realizing she purposefully lied about how to properly perform the ritual in her blog. Ayumi later encounters Yui, who is decapitated by falling debris. Exploring the school basement, Naomi finds a video of herself hanging Seiko while possessed; she breaks down until Seiko's spirit relieves her. After the trio put Sachiko's spirit to rest, the school begins to collapse and the trio begin the ritual. Satoshi gives his slip to Naomi, who had lost hers, and intends to use Yuka's slip for himself, unaware that it is actually Yuuya's. Naomi and Ayumi both successfully return to Kisaragi Academy, but because Satoshi used a slip belonging to someone from a different school, only his detached arms come with them. A post-credits scene shows Naomi catatonic in her room, her mother disbelieving the existence of her dead classmates.

Twilightfa Watch something else. There are very few redeeming qualities to this film.
Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.
Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
iluvskittlez For those that don't know, the anime is based off of the game that came out years ago, and I'm glad I played the game first. The anime is extremely disappointing, because it was not only inaccurate, but the pace of it was all off. The characters, going through a school littered with rotting corpses, intensely violent spirits, and so many unanswered questions, do not seem scared or shocked enough to be in their situation. Sure, there are very pleasent aspects of the anime. The animation isn't awful, the voice acting is perfect, the gore is wonderful, but it's hard to overlook all of the mistakes that were made. I think inaccuracy is really where I draw the line, with this one. The first half of the first episode was wonderful, so I had high hopes, and then it goes down hill from there. I'll just list a few that really irritated me.-Very important dialogue was added in or left out that was necessary for some of the story. -Characters (Such as Yuka, Yoshiki, Satoshi, Ms. Yui and Morishige) that died in the anime, either died in the wrong way or they were never canonically killed. -Some characters weren't with the people they were meant to be with, which changed some smaller aspects of the story. Such as Ayumi, who was meant to stay with Yoshiki throughout the story, ended up with Satoshi and Naomi because the anime killed off Yoshiki.These are just a few. There are quite a bit more I could list but we would be here all day. To put it into the most simple terms, it seems like the people who made the anime disregarded or didn't care for very important elements in the game, and it seems they themselves we're blood-thirsty, in the sense that if there wasn't a scene with death in the anime, they had to make one, which I simply can't respect. I apologize for the long review, but I'm a huge fan of the game and to see it so utterly disrespected deeply upsets me.
Ben Powell I had high hopes for this anime as I am a massive fan of anything to do with horror. I have also recently started watching some anime.There were certain aspects of this anime which are outstanding, especially the artwork.The best part about the anime was the ATMOSPHERE, which Japanese horror excels in. It constantly gives you an unsettled feeling; you almost feel as if you are trapped in the school with the students.Now for the bad part. This anime started off well, with a good sense of mystery and unsettling, impending doom. As I have already stated, the atmosphere in this anime is fantastic. The first episode actually scared me (a little). After that, it all goes downhill from here- the anime goes from genuine horror to full-on, hardcore, graphic-as-hell torture porn which Quentin Tarantino would be proud of. Young, teenage girls ultimately meeting their demise in horrible DISGUSTING ways happens virtually every five seconds (Yuka's dead was one of the most disgusting and disturbing things I've seen in my life, and I've seen Human Centipede). I don't know how I made it through all four OVA episodes, especially when it turns from horror to graphic deaths/torture etc. And the ending was terrible too. If this anime has more episodes released, I am staying as far away from them as possible. Fun fact: Sachiko looks EXACTLY like Alma Wade from F.E.A.R.
dterzi I played Corpse Party's game. The game was amazing as this one. But differnet characters die. I couldn't sleep for a night after watching this. It has an amazing plot, how did they go there, the story behind Heavenly Host and more... You just have to find that out yourself. Have fun!
Theshapeo31 Now I only JUST found out about this series last month. This OVA/mini-series is based off of the game "Corpse Party: Blood Covered Repeated" which was a remake of the original Corpse Party of 1996 and another in 2008. The game follows 7 high school students: Satoshi, Yoshiki, Ayumi, Naomi, Seiko, Mayu, & Sakuroto, their teacher Ms. Yui, & Yuka (Satoshi's younger middle school sister). The 9 of them have finished their schools annual Cultural Festival and are about to head home when Ayumi suggest they do a charm called "Sachiko Ever After". The charm is one thats supposed to bring all 9 of them together so that no matter where they go in life they'll always be friends. But after doing the charm they're whisk away to an abandoned elementary school that is FILLED with ghost and corpses of those brought to the school. However the group of 9 have been separated as the school is made of closed spaces (they're in the same school but different versions shaped by the ghost of 3 kids who attended the school and were murdered there). So they have to escape the school but unfortunately in the true ending of the game only Satoshi, Yuka, Naomi, Ayumi, & Yoshiki survive as the rest are killed: Seiko is hung by a possessed Naomi, Mayu is thrown into a wall and pulverized by 2 of the ghost kids, Sakuroto committed suicide upon learning of Mayu's death, and Ms. Yui sacrifices herself to save Ayumi and falls to her death (in this ova Sakuroto is brutally stabbed in the neck and bleeds out, while Ms. Yui is decapitated, which leads me to saying this anime IS NOT for the faint of heart).What makes this OVA a failure is that it's rushed, it's condensed into 4 episodes with no way to develop the characters (you pretty much have to play the games to know or care about them). The gore is over the top with a title like corpse party you'd expect it, but when it goes to gallons of blood squirting out thats way to excessive (there were points in the game that had a lot of gore but those scenes called for it, while here it's over every little thing). I have no problem with seeing the insides of a person, I had to dissect a fetile pig and cat in high school and I've seen surgery on animals up close and in person. The biggest problem I have is that it kills off every character except Ayumi & Naomi. The characters in the game were very well developed, very likable, and you got invested and could relate to them and to see them be killed in the gruesome manner it was its almost unwatchable. The character of Yuka was a sweet, adorable, and innocent girl (brutally stabbed to death by an anatomical model), Yoshiki was the mandatory badass of the group (died protecting Ayumi), and Satoshi was a bit of a coward but could summon his bravery when he needed (just dies in the end with no explanation whatsoever). The characters are ones that are very easy to like and the story albeit depressing works phenomenally and keeps you interested. It moved at a good pace in the game but it goes a mile a minute here with no explanation to some actions.To my understanding the mini-series follows a majority of the "wrong endings" of the game but when making a series for the fans I'm sure they'd appreciate the main ending more. The best thing about this series is it's animation which is beautiful. Other than that to those curious about it, avoid it like the plague and watch/play the game it's much more satisfying. Hell read the manga, it may be incomplete but those 36 chapters are better than this 4 episode OVA. This OVA is a middle finger to the fans of this series.
