Game developer 5pb. (Mages) has released the second promotional video for Corpse Party: Tortured Souls -Bōgyaku Sareta Tamashii no Jukyō-, an OVA inspired by the Corpse Party horror game trilogy for the PSP. The video premiered at Anime Contents Expo in March.
The four-episode anime will arrive on July 24th, in two DVD volumes or one Blu-ray. The anime will also be screened in Osaka on July 15th, along with Team GrisGris, Makoto Kedōin and Akira Iwanaga, the directors, MAGES producer Yasuhiko Nomura, and voice actress Yumi Hara (Satsuki Mizuhara). Asami Imai contributed the opening theme "Hoshikuzu no Ring" (Stardust Ring).
The game had inspired another OVA called Corpse Party: Missing Footage, which came bundled with this year's limited edition of Corpse Party -The Anthology- Sachiko no Renai Yūgi ♥ Hysteric Birthday 2U. Both OVAs feature the same cast: Kira Iwanaga is the general director, Seiki Tanaka is the chief animation director and character designer, and Shoichi Sato is in charge of the scripts.
The original game, produced by Team GrisGris , tells the story of a group of students trapped in a school haunted by a missing child. The new anime begins with Naomi and Seiko waking up in the middle of the abandoned school, with no idea where they are or what happened to their classmates. For some reason, they're trapped in this school with no way to escape.
XSEED Games released the original PSP version of the game in North America and Europe.
The 1st promotional video was released in December:
