Synopsis

The Nocturnal Community Relations Division is a team of people who specialize in solving cases involving the ominous occult creatures of the night unseen by ordinary humans. Young and unsuspecting Arata Miyako has been assigned to the Shinjuku Ward Office of the division, where he meets his fellow members Theo Himezuka and Kyouichi Sakaki.

On his first night, Arata finds himself on a mission where he discovers to his surprise that not only does every supernatural creature he once thought to be fictional actually exist, but also that he is the only human who can understand their non-human speech. Arata's surprises do not end there, as later that night, he meets a legendary creature called a Tengu that refers to him as the famous Heian-era exorcist, Abe no Seimei. Unfamiliar with the exorcist, Arata pays no mind and continues to work with his team, utilizing his unique ability to assist in the resolution of their cases.

Mistaken by many occult creatures as Abe no Seimei and quickly becoming notorious for his special ability during his work, Arata becomes curious of his origins and invests himself more into solving cases regarding occult creatures he encounters once he learns of a certain connection between himself and the exorcist. However, Arata will quickly find that dealing with supernatural creatures is not as simple as he thought, as danger begins to play a fundamental role in his everyday findings and his ability starts to present an unexpected issue.

This was a pretty good show. I don't think it's something that I would recommend to everyone, but fans of supernatural anime will probably like it.

Also, Shunichi Toki is in it, and he did a good job in my opinion. Overall, ...

Mixed Feelings
This series wasn't bad, but it also wasn't great either. I think the problem I had with it the most was that the humans and paranormal were not able to communicate (via voice) with each other until finally the MC of the story comes along who has the DNA of another human that was able to communicate with the paranormal in the past. But what I consider to be a serious blunder for the author of the story is after all the time the paranormal had to deal with the humans none of the paranormal bother to learn how to read and write, and when ...

To put simply, this anime is a waste of time and a waste of what could've been a very interesting plotline.

Starting with the premise that there's a somewhat secret division of "police" that are meant to be intermediaries between the supernatural and the public was promising. Everything after that is a bit of a mess.

Starting off with the fact that these "intermediaries" cannot even understand what these supernatural creatures are saying, leading to, of course, mind-numbing misunderstanding after misunderstanding. Even with the assistance of the newbie, who has taken on the role of translator, as the only one who can understand them.

The animation ...
