Corpse Party: Tortured Souls (2013)
Why does this even exist...kedwin why
Corpse Party: Tortured Souls is a anime OVA adaptation of the 2011 psp remake of the 2008 remake of a 1998 game made for a quick game jam. Which didn't even win, now if that sounds a recipe to disaster for you as it does for me you'd be right! Not to knock the 2008-2011 story in the game as it is quite excellent...this OVA on the other hand...I wouldnt go as far to say the same. Tortured Souls (much like the game) puts a huge emphasis on the gore and horror our underaged cast goes through (cause yeah good thinking having a girl in middle school in your story) except it doesn't have 100 or so hours to interlock this with a strong backbone. So it just sags with blood and gore, they seem to have a serious obsession with the Dutch angle, take a shot every time they do it. I'm sure you'd be knocked out by minute 10.
The story- long story short the group decided to do a random online friendship ritual one of them found off of their favorite cultists tumblr page (yeah stupid I know) and then they all get trapped in a weird school dimension and it gets funky
Main issues- no real story backboning, Yuka existing, Yuka existing, why did they have to make morishige h*rny for corpses?
This anime doesn't even follow the true end of the game, instead opting for the worst possible outcome (which at the release of the anime wasn't even possible in game) which just leaves a sour taste in my mouth and overall ruined the story
Also they clearly only did an OVA cause there is no way episode 3 and 4 would've aired on national TV.
Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie (2017)
A good adaptation but not funny at all
Look i love the captain underpants books
But this movie doesn't live up to the potential of the series
No joke got a laugh out of me at all during the movie but the story was still engaging and I'd watch it again
