Corpse Party: Tortured Souls

So it's October. What better way to spend the weekend but to watch some horror anime?

I thought about rewatching Another, but I felt like watching something new. So I was going through the list and one title in particular caught my eye. Corpse Party: Tortured Souls. Now where have I heard that before? Maybe when I was looking at horror rp games to play.. So I of course clicked on it and watched it. And let me tell you.
This anime is not at all for faint-hearted. nu-uh. This anime is filled with gore and blood. You're probably thinking, oh that's not that bad. NO.
I'M TALKING GORE AND BLOOD EVERYWHERE. THERE ARE KIDS. KIDS GETTING THEIR TONGUES CUT OFF WITH SCISSORS. THEIR EYES ARE BEING GOUGED OUT. GUTS ARE SPILLING OUT EVERYWHERE. MAGGOTS. BLOOD. GUTS. INTESTINES. EVERRRYWHERE. I AM NOT KIDDING AROUND.
There's only four episodes, so I was like, hey, I'll just watch it all at once. [though i do this even if theres like 24 episodes to an anime whatt] I only tend to all the episodes to an anime straight-through if it's really good, and I'm into it. But by the third episode, I had to step away for a bit. All this gore are getting to be a little too much. Even for me.
But after about a half hour, I eventually went back and watched the last episode.
THAT ENDING THOUGH. I'm really mad.

This anime apparently came out during the summer. It's only just an OVA too. This anime is based off the game, Corpse Party.

Meganebu!

So it's out. The anime I've been curious to watch since maybe the beginning of August.
The anime that is to target the Free! fanbase. The new "Free!" The anime about 5 guys wearing glasses in a glasses club.
Meganebu!
Let me cringe at how ridiculous it sounds.
&ridiculous doesn't even begin to describe it. omg
What even is this? [they do this pose too many times tbh]

All I have to say is that these guys are really passionate about glasses with their mediocre animation.
So far all I know is that their main goal is to make some X-Ray glasses that can see through stuff??
I don't know they got all freaked out&excited because their school was having a vision test. A VISION TEST. Like okay. That's what glasses people would get excited over I guess..

I can't tell if they're making fun of Free! in a way...or if this show is actually being serious. I really can't.
From the first episode I'm rating it 4/10. It was bad. But then again, this was only the first episode. [oh gosh]
I really have no desire to watch any more when they come out, but I will anyways to see if it gets any better. Because I never like to judge an anime until I watch a couple episodes of it. [same goes with any show I guess]

First Impressions Of Fall Anime pt. 1

Today wasn't exactly the best day of my life. [just smile&wave erin] But hey, at least when I got home from school I discovered some of the fall anime on my watch list had started.

The first one I watched was Kill la Kill.
It has kind of that older anime art style, but don't let that throw you off. At first, I did not like it. I didn't see the appeal to it at all, but then again I was only 5 minutes into it, and super confused as to what I was even watching. This dude is killed in like the first two minutes of the episode for stealing this school uniform that apparently gives you like superhuman powers. That was the intro. I was like, what is even going on?? I didn't get interested in the episode until about 15 minutes into it, which is basically after watching most of the show. That was also when I realized what the whole plot of the show was and everything started to make sense. Like wow this is actually really good. Everything in this show is widely exaggerated and it has some comical parts to it. I can definitely see now why people think it will be the new 'hype.' I look forward to the next episode.

Next was Kyoukai no Kanata.
So it starts out with this dude narrating, watching this girl stand on a rooftop, looking like she's going to jump off and kill herself. He runs up to the roof and tries to talk her out of it by saying that she looks good in her glasses and that he liked girls with glasses??? SO SHE FREAKING JUMPS OVER TO HIM AND STABS HIM WITH THIS SWORD SHE MADE OUT OF HER OWN BLOOD. He was apparently totally cool with it because apparently he's immortal or something and behold, that is how they became friends. [what] I couldn't really tell at that point if this was going to be like a love story or what.
After the episode ended, I still couldn't tell if it was like a love story or not ahaha. I'm still trying to get a grasp as to what the main plot of the series is, but then again it's a slice of life anime, so it's not going to have like a main-main sort of plot I guess.

Meganebu and Pupa are still yet to come out. Pupa is supposed to come out tomorrow, so I'll maybe get to watch that then. Meganebu is the only one I've been been waiting for to start, but that's not until next week. But so far, my fall anime is looking good. ^-^
