Gakkou Gurashi's dichotomy in genre and appearance fuel its emotional ride.
So admittedly, I primarily want to focus on one common criticism of the show rather than offer a normal review. I recommend Gakkou Gurashi to anyone, it's very well directed, has a generally strong cast, offers a satisfying emotional payoff, and is very bingeable. It's well made art and I think it h…

Without a doubt, Gakkou Gurashi hit me hard. I took a dive into the show with some knowledge of its unconventional twist while still expecting a less serious, more silly vibe just because it looked cu…

Do you love school? Do you wish your happy, carefree days among your friends and teachers could go on forever? What if I told you there was a club where a small group of students have set up permanent residence on campus, making use of the schools many state-of-the-art amenities to support themsel…

Off course not spoiler free review as it's too hard to talk about this anime without spoiling it.
Going into this anime it's not as though I went in blind, I was aware of the premise and what to expected. So I was like I won't be tricked by the first episode. Though I was aware of such things, I d…

So here's my general thoughts on it (Stuff in brackets like this is stuff i added on to my discord review)
JUST SAYING DON'T READ FURTHER IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN EPISODE 1 YET, GO SEE IT FIRST THEN COME BACK TRUST ME
I won't lie the plot twist in episode 1 showing what the actual premise is was br…
Read full review on AniList →School-Live's contrasting images of cute and creepy give the show its strengths and weaknesses.
In almost any form of art, the use of contrast can be a very powerful tool to enhance the appeal of your work. By taking two different items and setting them against each other, it can multiply the overall value and effect of the product versus those two items being standalone. It can make paintings…

Out of most of the anime of summer 2015, the one that keeps popping up from time to time is the one and only "Gakkou Gurashi". However, one of my friends recommended me this anime "without any research" (which I usually do) and after watching the first episode, I was completely glued to the series.…

__This review contains spoilers__
Psychological horror and CGDCT are practically polar opposite genres on the tone scale, but this show manages to simultaneously be both without ever losing one aspect for the other. And this genre duality brings forth a unique series that succeeds to stand out with…

Read full review on AniList →Gakkou Gurashi had a lot going for it, and even more hype to back it up, but it's blend of moe and horror is too weak
Gakkou Gurashi is very interesting to say the least. Over the years, there have been countless slice of life anime, and countless horror/thriller anime, but rarely do we get something that tries to combine the two in an attempt to amplify each other. The last time I watched something that relied thi…

I was much more impressed by this anime than I expected it to be, it was something I picked up on Crunchyroll and didn’t expect much out of. Granted, I had been spoilered for the basic premise so knew what I was getting into on that front, but regardless, thought it would be handled sloppily and imm…

Remember Puella Magi Madoka Magica, which looked cute on the outside but had a dark twist on the inside? Well, Gakkou Gurashi is like that. One character completely denies that the dark twist is even happening, though, making this series even more of a mix of moe and horror. I first heard of Gakkou…
