It’s only a matter of time though, before she sees the truth. Behind all the laughs & sisterhood, however, the real reason for this club’s existence and their unusual living situation is something horrific, something Yuuri and Kurumi don’t want Yuki to know about. Eventually, they meet classmate Miki Naoki and invite her to join along with the adorable dog Taromaru. As the School Living Club, they perform different activities every day, overcome obstacles while learning life lessons, and have fun together under the guidance of their caring teacher/club advisor Megumi Sakura. Students Yuki Takeya, Kurumi Ebisuzawa, and Yuuri Wakasa live at Megurigaoka Private High School. Now, with all that out of the way, let’s dive into how this cinematic retelling measures up against what is in my opinion some of our generation’s best executed psychological horror! The Premise
KOUKOU GURASHI REPUTATION LOW SERIES
To do otherwise would not only be a huge disservice to this critical analysis, but also deprive you as a horror fan of the chance to experience a story I cannot recommend highly enough through fresh eyes! To clarify, while I will occasionally reference the original manga on which this series is based to illustrate certain points, my comparison will primarily treat the anime as a separate entity to be judged on its own strengths & weaknesses. The anime is only 12 episodes and available online as well as on Blu-Ray in both English dub & Japanese subs (For the most authentic and emotive voice-acting, I typically prefer the original Japanese). I mean it! Stop reading this RIGHT NOW, go check it out, and then come back. Please, I beg you, DO NOT read any further if you haven’t seen School-Live! yet. To any readers that may have clicked on today’s blog, but are unfamiliar with this particular property, I’m afraid I must assign some preliminary homework. This is a special case, however, where I’d be remiss to not be EXTRA insistent. It is generally expected if not a courtesy for critics to warn of spoilers before discussing any story in detail, even when it sometimes feels unnecessary such as with classics acclaimed for decades.
