Corpse Party review-summary-thing Part 1

~Sea of Twilight~


HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY, hime-chan♥ Sorry, I have to split up this review because I still haven't finished the Alternative Ending of chapter 5. I will add the second part during this week or so, for now I am pretty sure you'd have enough to read now xD


HAJIMASHOU!




Aiya, so I am doing something akin to a review/summary/ranting thingie about Corpse Party for my husbando hime-chan~~ (And why is this no proper review? Because I put my own thoughts and judgments into every part already, not just the conclusion/whatever.)
Also, this is a game that uses the Dummy Head Mic technique, I think. Meaning that you should use headphones to get maximum effect of the sound effects. IT IS CREEPY BUT REALLY, DUMMY HEAD MIC IS LOVE!

First and foremost, the premise of this PSP horror game:
After the cultural festival and a few horror stories told, a group of teenagers perform a Sachiko Ever After charm to make sure they will be friends forever. …instead they are subsequently trapped in a school that should no longer exist: Tenjin Shougakkou (or Heavenly Host Elementary School if you go for the USA release). There the group is split up and they each have to survive a bloody, creepy set of adventure that will test their nerves and their friendship. It is said they will never be able to leave this school since many before them have not managed to do so, either. Besides, why does such a cursed place exist?

Let's start with the main characters:

Mochida Satoshi
Technically apparently the main character. 17 years old. He is easily scared and that makes him victim to the class representative's horror stories. In serious situations (as seen when playing as him in the games) he gets quite courageous. That makes him a somewhat generic boring main character but oh well. He also has a little sister, who is, unfortunately, also part of this wonderful horror trip… By the way, his seiyuu is Shimono Hiro, which I think is UtaPri's Shou?

Mochida Yuka
Sweet cute little Yuka is Satoshi's younger sister. She is really cute, be careful not to get cavity. No, really, she is cute. Except…sometimes really annoying. Especially when you realize she is 14 and acts like 6. AND is terribly in love with her onii-chan. (Which really I wouldn't mind if she didn't act like a tiny 6 years old!)


Nakashima Naomi
Our second protagonist, I think? A tsundere girl, type B. Meaning she is usually kind and nice but when it comes to her love interest she is quite tsun. She is also easily provoked, doesn't easily admit things…yeah, a tsundere. Her love interest? Satoshi of course. They are childhood friends. And he doesn't know she is crushing in him. In my opinion a bit generic and boring tsundere, sorry.

Shinohara Seiko
Ah, our perverted Seiko, best friend of Naomi and big sis promoted to mom in her household. She is…really perverted sometimes (the manga puts much emphasis on it) and really likes Naomi's big boobs. Comes from being in love with her best friend. …but she actively tries to matchmake Satoshi and Naomi so yeah. Hide your lesbians? Poor girl. But she really tries to cheer up the mood as much as she can. I really grew to like her when I at first didn't like her because of her seiyuu. Nothing against the seiyuu herself but I just didn't like the sound. But…Seiko is one of the cooler characters~

Shinozaki Ayumi
Class representative and avid horror stories and occult lover – while really being a scared cat. She is also the one with the highest spiritual awareness which makes her quite valuable in warnings like not doing this and that…but also making her prone to being possessed. She likes to tease Satoshi – a sign of her affection to him. Yes, she is also in love with our hero. I am not sure why but I like Ayumi the most. She is a scared cat, can be bitchy and yandere at some point, can be stupid and inconsiderate, but she is no boring character and has character development and…well, I like her.

Kishinuma Yoshiki
Most important thing: His seiyuu is Nakamura Yuuichi. (What, I am seiyuu biased, okay?!) He is somewhat of a thug or at least looks a bit like the rebel next door. Poor guy is in love with Ayumi (who doesn't realize his feelings save for one…WRONG ending). Poor guy is really actually quite nice and tries his best to protect Ayumi. Poor guy has the best omake Drama CD single, I swear! I like him, okay?


Suzumoto Mayu
A girl who was supposed to transfer out of the school one day after cultural festival. Instead she got wrapped up in this. She is essential for Sakutarou, with whom she has a brother-sister-relationship of the platonic kind. The bad news is, she dies early on because she is too much of a kind, cheerful soul and trusted the vengeful spirits.


Morishige Sakutarou
Somewhat of a generic guy at first, he is a megane who absolutely cannot see without his glasses (as one epic extra chapter revealed) and gets mostly little screen time. Revealed to have some actor skills but never really exploring them because he isn't popular. Later you get to see that he is rather creepy (the manga is much better at showing it, though), or is at least kind of disturbing, needing the suffering of others to keep himself sane (in form of passively taking pictures of the corpses). That and Mayu's presence was what kept him mentally stable all this time. He does not take it well when he finds out Mayu died. Also, his seiyuu is Kakihara Tetsuya, who is originally from Germany 8D

Shishido Yui
The teacher of the class, a young woman who is damn awesome! (Not to mention she has awesome Sawashiro Miyuki as seiyuu~) Cat-lover, single (I felt the need to mention this because it was topic in one extra chapter xD) and very brave. Let's just say when a ghost is pressing a shelf with blades down on your back asking you to beg for your life and she instead dares the ghost to hurt her students…yes. Yes, she is a fine teacher.


Prologue:
The prologue starts with the group minus Yuka and Shishido gathered around candles in the classroom, horror stories and then a creepy authentic imitation of the horror story just told, courtesy to Shishido, who wanted to give them a good scare. Yuka joins to bring her brother an umbrella because it is storming outside like mad and the group wants to finish cleaning up the classroom. Because it is Mayu's last day, Ayumi gets the brilliant idea to perform the Sachiko Ever After that would fail if you don't chant the spell correctly. And after they chant the spell, an earthquake hits them, the ground opens up and they fall to their demise.

Zzzzzzzz...

~Sea of Twilight~

...ahaha, I feel tired, somehow. I dunno why, though. But hey, my order arrived and now I have Starry Sky manga in Autumn and After Autumn...mmm, teacher love~ And the random strap generator on the Hakuoki Straps...I got almost lucky this time. No Harada for me but Souji. I think I promised Souji to Usa-chan but we'll see xD

Hm, and I wanted to order the seiyuu clock but darn it, never used credit card before and now I am confused.

Ugh, I better continue cleaning up my room for my birthday party this weekend. My room is currently full with boxes where I throw in whatever I think shouldn't be there. Ahahaha ;A;

Purchase list Feburary 2012

~Sea of Twilight~

...or what I have ordered so far now that my paycheck has arrived xD


  • Natsume Yuujinchou 1-3 DVD from Malaysia
  • Mawaru Penguindrum DVD from Malaysia
  • PSP sticker (Suzuya/Cancer Starry Sky) from Ian-san from tumblr
  • Starry Sky Phone Straps Suzuya/Cancer and Iku/Gemini from LJ sale post with new Kazuaki art ASDFGHJKL
  • Plan to order Dengeki GS this month, too~
  • And the seiyuu clock, yay~

And tumblr says Arcana Famiglia gets an Anime this summer? WHAAAAAA-- Crossing my fingers that it is true!!!!

Hm, what else...oh, gotta start my Corpse Party summary tomorrow after I clean up my room and RP a bit with my overseas friends (yes, I am looking at you, Eden, Ari 8D). And, uh. Reading KHR!Illusionist/Reader smut from lovely Rii-chan now <3

Random fact no...1?

~Sea of Twilight~

天羽翼 Amaha Tsubasa
...you have a very...boringly flashy name, boy.
天 sky
羽 feather
翼 wings
...somehow, I have the feeling you are trying to tell us something with such kanji in your name.

Yes, so we Aquarius like to be free, don't want to be tied down, yadda yadda (that's probably the reason why I haven't managed to have a decent relationship yet because I shy away right in the beginning /shot). But sky, feather and wings...it's like Ren Jinguji's surname that is written with god, palace and temple. Uh, huh.

I wonder if the other names have some hidden hint to their characters as well...?

Lalala~

~Sea of Twilight~

Yosh, finished the true ending of chapter 5 of Corpse Party instead of learning Kanji. Pff, will learn now. I need three of the other endings, one alternative ending (that I thought I got already but apparently not...) and two bad ends (ahaha, I haven't played the one where Yuka ends up being caught by dear Yuuya, yet). And then I hopefully have all Extras. And hopefully those'll show a bit of Morishige and Yuuya as well? I think Morishige really was shown to little, i didn't get he killed himself at all. Uhm.

So, anyway, have the urge to play P3P again, this time the guy's route to properly RP Minato for my friend, but before that...kanji, and vocabs, and grammar. Hm....

Ah, right, it's my birthday but I kept forgetting until me friends reminded me. Shush, I was busy worrying for my oral exam today, okay?

Just an ordinary Sunday

~Sea of Twilight~

On which I should be studying, AM studying and just have played some Corpse Party. On which I should be learning the three counting systems we have been taught as for now in Japanese and I haven't looked at it ONCE ever since two weeks ago when it was introduced to us. Err.....

And instead of opening up the grammar presentation that was provided to us by our professor, I suddenly wanted to browse zerochan for Kazuaki art and saw so many pretty fanart from her about the Persona series. And a Kuroshitsuji and Vocaloid fanart. Mmm, I just love her art style 8)

Anyway, I promised my dear friend (and husbando♥) hime-chan to make some pseudo-review/conclusion/summary/ranting about Corpse Party PSP~ Looking forward to my ranting....

Uh, yeah, just updating so my blog won't be labeled as dead. Which is pointless but...oh well. /doesn't make any sense whatsoever

じゃまたね!
