SCHOOL-LIVE! English Sub & Dub

About SCHOOL-LIVE!

SCHOOL-LIVE! (がっこうぐらし!) arrives as a horror anime by Lerche (2015), and the premise is easy to summarize. In short: Why would anyone form a School Living Club? Could four girls, their advisor, and a puppy really love their school so much that they’d want to live in it?

More of the story: Or is there another reason, something that lurks behind the façade of their comfortable existence? Something that waits outside their school’s doors. Something that has already robbed one girl of her sanity?

In a horror series like this, atmosphere, sound and restraint do the heavy lifting. Yuki Takeya (Inori Minase) and Kurumi Ebisuzawa (Ari Ozawa) are two of the characters you will meet early. If you count yourself among viewers comfortable with dark, unsettling material, put it on your list. At 12 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.

Production & Appeal

Animation is handled by Lerche, so the studio's house style defines how SCHOOL-LIVE! looks and moves on screen. The horror focus matters here: atmosphere, sound and restraint do the heavy lifting. At 7.4/10 it earns a solid reception, a safe pick for fans of the genre. Voice casting, including Inori Minase as Yuki Takeya, adds to the appeal for fans who follow seiyuu. Released in 2015, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
