Fab news, had given up hope of anyone picking these up.

Finally watched these a few weeks ago and enjoyed them immensely. Only complaint was things could have been a tad clearer but otherwise it was exactly what I expected.

Cool! I didn't think this show was very good at all, but it was a lot of fun to look at, so this is definitely going on my wishlist!

This OVA was about as horror as you get in anime. Take what you can get.

Not really sure how to feel about this, it's a good thing overall I guess.

I watched the OVA a while back and wasn't too impressed with it spoiler[(though I have to give them a hand for the ending Laughing sorry, can't help myself with puns)].

If it ends up being relatively cheap I may end up picking it up just because I'm a Corpse Party fan, that and forcing my fiance to watch it could be fun.

Also on a more personal note, I kind of love the Maiden Japan imprint because it gets the really obscure things I like and never thought would be licensed (though really that's just Corpse Party and Papillon Rose so far).

Nice. Have to keep an eye out for this one. Will be hanging around online waiting for this.

Shocked wow. This gives me some hope that we can get it in the UK.

Though I still want a full adaption of the whole game. That would be immense.

While I don't think too highly of the latter episodes of these(the first one is fine; the rest go a little too fast through the story), I'm glad it's coming over. ^^

I predicted that this would get licensed sometime in 2014, so I guess I'm only nine months off.

Easily one of the goriest anime ever made (I'd even rank it above Elfen Lied in that regard) and it has a game tie-in, so it should sell relatively well.

I was just thinking of Pet Shop of Horrors the other day and wondering if it was ever to be rescued. Man, with things like that and Robot Carnival being released, everything is bound to be re-released at some point, its just a matter of playing the waiting game.

I love these sorts of horror games, so this is good news. What I'd really like is some of the Corpse Party games released in English on the 3DS, but that's probably too much to ask for.
