| Omg what the hell at the end omg |
| Much better episode than the previous two, and I think the show is getting better now. I just wish the characters would talk slower. They talk too fast. I was able to follow along on what was happening. At least it's fleshing out some storytelling about certain characters like Ririka. Felt bad for her past though, she couldn't accept her brother was dead for a year. Really interested about the mass murders. The devil that appeared was creepy. Hopefully the rest of the episodes get better. |
 |
| I still can't understand the plot. Anyone willing to do a recap or TL;Dr thinggy, please with cherry on top? :| Also what's the connection of the mass murder to all of the stuff that has been happening since EP1 and EP2. welp, I'm lost |
| Damn... it was good! This is the best episode so far. 5/5 |
| ok :p |
| Hmmmmm looks like O;N is going Saw now sheesh |
| The current game that i play: Azur Lane :3 |
| It's going to be hard to tie this convoluted story together by the end but if it succeeds I don't think it will have been a bad show. The visual directing is good actually. |
 |
| I'm glad I didn't drop it last week because this episode was quite interesting and I love these OMG moments. :D Everyting is really confusing right now but I hope in the end we will see all the connections. |
| Yeah the show is getting better but it still aint perfect. At least it seems to have found its pacing for the most part. Not much to say about this episode otherwise. I wonder if those corpses will play a big role in the main arching storyline. |
| wow! I think this episode is much better .. many questions I have to come up with... Though Ria is pretty creepy in her past until now I guess .,living a whole year with her brother's corpse :3 |
 |
| Great episode, much, much, much better than either of the previous two. So many strange and interesting things going on, and the gears seem to be moving somewhat now. Also, is it just me, or is Nishizono voiced by the same person who voiced Elsa in Re:ZERO? Would certainly explain why she sounds so evil... Also, that ending... what is going on? |
| It was a great episode imo, it's getting interesting Onii-sama's corpse though eww |
 |
| well this seemed like a great episode... the show is getting good now |
 |
| I was going to drop this anime, but this chapter gave me a little hope. Maybe this a decent show after all |
| I wonder how is the action sorted in the Light Novels, because it surely can't be as all over the place as the anime. |
  |
| Looks like the girl working in the cult magazine and the manga creator all have forsight abilities to do with their dreams, a bit like that Fortune Teller. That Older Brother story was actually quite a surprise to me that he was dead for that whole year, most probably since I forgot all about it :P Looks like the ninth guy in 'Occultic; Nine' will finally show up next episode, according to the preview. Question is, will this go all Steins;Gate-style and have the MC go back to the past to prevent the mass suicide? Or will it become an inevitable event? Also I'm having nightmares tonight. The use of CG is actually smart since it makes him look creepier. The episodes keep getting better :} EDIT: Oh, and when Detective Dude said 'I'm a Detective in your manga', that probably isn't literal, I think, but I think he's saying that Rika had drawn him through one of her dreams of seeing the future. (I can't remember anyone's names btw) |
| That super creepy smile at the start. What has been seen, cannot be unseen. X_X The episode is easier to follow compared to episode 1 and 2. The detective guy is really amusing, but he's very smart and his interaction with the doujin lady was enjoyable to watch. Aria's backstory was pretty sad though. It sucks that she lost both her parents and not only was she bullied at school, but she was also sexually harassed by the teachers who should be doing more to protect her. Because of that, she became very close to her brother as her everything. Sadly, her brother died during an operation that saved her, but she couldn't accept and see that fact, so she was able to take his corpse home and lived with it for a whole year before it was discovered. Not sure how that demon appeared before Yuuta, but I hope he'll be okay. =) |
| Hmm a good episode and i think the show is getting better as it goes. I like how each episode follows the story lines of each of the main characters and try to tie these in with the main plot. This episode introduced the mysterious manga artist Ririka who seems to have the ability of foresight. Ririka is portrayed by one of my favorite seiyuu's Mamiko Noto and here she does an excellent job as always. Her foresight power is interesting to say the least. Its interesting that her foresight allowed her to draw a scene that was derived from the murder scene that serves as the main plot here. Also introduced here is the backstory with Aria the agent. Her family must have been pretty rich to have a mansion that big. She and her brother sure had a rather close relationship didn't she. But like all good things it must end sometimes. I was amazed that Aria was able to wheel her brothers body from the morgue to her home which was a distance of 20km. Her love for him must have been that strong. and the mc is busy looking for a keyhole while in a unstable and paranoid state wow to think that the mc would encounter a devil in his current state And to think that was all a dream for the mc lol they are messing with us That last part though when they announced that they have found at least 51 bodies though was pretty shocking. That felt like the dumping grounds of a mass murderer. And the voice on the radio i wonder who that actually is Good episode never less and the mystery deepens |

| Episode 3: still can't see main plot. :( |
| "The future is always blank. Only your willpower can leave footsteps there." "Ruling over death means ruling over life. Death is the climax of life. To have the best death, you must honor life." |
| the show finally gets in gear good job this week |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| This episode was ok. Definitely an improvement from the first 2 episodes. But personally, I'm still not impressed with this show. I will continue to watch this show, mainly out of curiosity in what direction Occultic;Nine wants to take and to see how bad or good the show will get. Overall, I guess I'll stick around. |
 |
| Well, I'm glad I paid attention in episode 1, despite how rushed, messy and all over the place it was. Also glad to see that its breakneck overdrive pacing doesn't seem to be the norm. The synopsis did say that some seemingly unconnected events would build to something big, and I think we're starting to see that - small connections here and there, more details on each, and steadily rising tension and stakes. I'm not convinced this will be anything exceptional, but it's possible it will still find its way (and I do like when stories emphasize small details or side stories and later bring them all together). Also interesting how the first two episodes got pulled from Crunchyroll. Even if this does take off quickly, I doubt people will want to start watching at episode 3. I've heard this will be all original material after another episode or two, so I really don't know what to expect from then on. |

| This was such a good,creepy and disturbing episode I really wish they had started episode one better, the last two have been so much better! |
| A lot of things to digest in this episode, but damn, it was really good in my opinion. It's getting better. |
  |
| This episode made the series worth giving the rest of the season a chance. Ill definitely rewatch the previous episodes so I can pay closer attention now. |
~my list
| Gonna have to echo everyone else's sentiment that this episode was a huge step up. It flowed from one scene to the next very well without feeling rushed like before. And there were some genuinely unsettling moments, which I can't say of many anime I've seen in a while. It's a shame the first episode was so scattershot and irritating, because it probably scared a lot of people away. Oh well, I hope things continue the way they are now. |
| very interesting. i would say everythin is relevant to delusion |
| It's slowly getting better, and they keep teasing my curiosity. I loved the interaction between the detective and mangaka girl. It was a kind of psychological fight, haha. I wish to see how the conversation ended after that "I'm the detective of your story". Everyone is this show is so suspicious. lol |
 |
| this was much better than the previous episodes |
 |
| So now we've gone back to that mass suicide scene from the first Episode. Let's see where they take us from here. The MC is still acting quite pathetic though, and I'm not sure if that can be cured... |
HESTIA   APPROVES |
| The very best episode so far. That fast phase dialogue between Ririka and the detective was pretty great, and the best parte of the episode. I'm still thinking that this is a "ok version" of the Durara! Series (with the writting of the Steins;Gate due), but i'm actually liking this series so far, and to be honest, is one of the best thing in this anime season, since almost everything that came new is shit. |
| Good pace and some clarity on some sub-plots and characters where they fit in all this remains a main focus of this show. So, 22 Feb was the murder and now its 1st March, a week gone by and Gamotan acts paranoid and just starts unlocking whatever lock he sees. Not liking him 1 bit and want to see less of him. Most chars are not gonna be what they seem to be and their eventual 'self' will be defining merit of this show. |
| Well the show is definitely improving. More reasonable pacing, more dedicated character development... And the mystery is starting to make a bit of sense (kinda). I'm glad I stuck around, too bad it's still airing though. I might wait for it to be over and just marathon it. I'm pretty sure I'll forget details if I watch it on a weekly basis. |

GokuNazz said: I still can't understand the plot. Anyone willing to do a recap or TL;Dr thinggy, please with cherry on top? :| Also what's the connection of the mass murder to all of the stuff that has been happening since EP1 and EP2. welp, I'm lost The way I see it: 1) On 1st of March, a lot of people are found in a lake, drowned or maybe dumped there by a serial killer. It seems that it all happened overnight. 2) It seems to be 256 dead people in the original timeline, and mysterious people are trying to save them in February. Is seems that by the end of episode 3, they might have saved about a hundred of them, as there seem to be only 51+100 corpses in the lake. 3) It seems that Professor Hashigami was in the epicenter of the plot, and he was tortured and killed. It is unclear who did it, and if that person learned anything from the professor. Professor was a well-known student of the occult, and he believed occult relevant to Nicola Tesla's works. Wild guess: as his son has said, many people who claim occult powers are either crazy, or intentionally lying about their powers. Murder of 256 people was an experiment to check their powers, because, if they are real, surely they would be able to predict their own death and do something about it. 4) A bunch of young people seem relevant to making things right. Quite possibly they are part of the 256 dead people in the lake. By the order on MAL characters page: Miyuu "Myu" Aikawa - idol prophet of moderate fame on the internet. People occasionally try to debunk her online, and she still suffers from her inability to save her father in spite of her gift. Her best friend mysteriously disappears at the end of episode 2, giving her a personal stake in the incident. Yuuta Gamon - occult blogger who seems to suffer from anxiety disorder or something like that. After seeing Professor's dead body, and having his radio talk to him, he's got even more mentally unstable, to the point of trying to fit the key he got out of the Professor into any keyhole he sees. Hashigami Sarai - son of the Professor and a hardline skeptic. He is on bad terms with Professor due to their differences over the occult. It seems that appearances and reputation are more important to him than truth. Aria Kureinaino/Ria Minase - after her parents' death, she lived alone with her brother, bullied by other children, and sexually harassed by teachers. Her brother died in a surgery to transplant one of his kidneys to Ria, but she refused to accept his death, living with his corpse for a year. Now she sells curses as Crimson Aria, and talks to some mysterious transparent being. It is not clear how this being is related to her dead brother, and if he did impersonate her brother for a year. And if this being is real or just another delusion. Moritsuka, Shun - the young detective. He is older than he looks, and he is working with whoever is trying to save the 256 people. We see him going all over the place, talking to all the other people, apparently trying to resolve something. One of the things he's after is a list of all the 256 people who are to die. Maybe the people he's working with aren't from the future, they just get vague predictions. Ryouka "Ryoutasu" Narusawa - the big-breasted scatterbrained girl who is a friend of Gamon. For a few seconds we have heard her being serious this episode, so her usual personality might be fake, and her true agenda unknown. Ririka Nishizono - the doujin mangaka. She seems to be a prophet too, but she doesn't do predictions for others, she draws manga based on what she has seen. Pretty good at being feminine and mysterious. Touko Sumikaze - the journalist working for an occult magazine. She, too, is a prophet, and has seen the lake incident. From a victim's perspective. She also seems to get along well with the Professor, and knew much of what he was doing. 5) The episode ends with a lot of these people getting a mysterious phone call. Did someone gather them up to solve the puzzle? Is it a killer setting up a trap? rsc-pl said: What is wrong with the noses? While everything looks just good, all noses are drawn just weird. I am sure they did it to please @DrGeroCreation - he loves noses. Daniel_Naumov said: Flawfinder said: Was supposed to make you sick looking at her, but well, different cultures different standards. She will not be the top winner in that nomination, that is for sure.I fail to understand what learning about this girl's brother issues added to the story. It didn't make her interesting. It has no ties to the main plot. It has nothing to do with the occult. It wasn't entertaining. You could have cut it out and nothing would have changed. On a side note, I just finished rewatching the first Danganronpa anime. Funny how that botched adaptation had more characterization and intrigue in its opening episode than Occultic had in three. And the whole show should have not had the ;, associating it with Steins;Gate etc. is a little... cringe inducing. Compare it to Chaos;Head, and everything will make sense. It's very much like Chaos;Head. Jack_Corvus96 said: how the hell would you make a self-transplant of kidney all by your own? thats plain Lunacy lol No, proper doctors did it in a proper hospital. They still failed, and the brother died. ichii_1 said: Gamotan losing his calm and a devil brings him back? Devil bringing him back is an unexpected explanation. I like it. Thanatos said: I enjoyed pretty much this entire episode, except the dream sequence with the MC. Which... well just wandering around Japan(I assume?) just throwing a tooth-key into random keyholes seems quite inefficient. Nothing about Gamon is "efficient". It just shows how crazy he is at the moment. gentongz said: btw, love to see Gamo character went from annoying cheerful to paranoid in just 3 episodes, i wonder how it goes He wasn't okay from the start. He did call himself a NEET, even though he is in school, right? He was just trying to convince himself that what he was doing was the right thing. Just like that time this episode when he was walking down the street and convincing himself people weren't looking at him. tatata said: just how many people can dream the future? How about every single one of them? |
| As choppy and contrived as the whole thing seems, I have to say I'm intrigued. And entertained. Seriously though, am I the only one that KNOWS the characters and story are pretty flawed but just want to watch it anyway? It's interesting AF. Also, this episode seemed to go a lot smoother than the last two. I feel like the first episode just kinda put everyone off, but i'm thinking (hoping) it'll get better. Let's pray this show will become one of those gems that eventually turn out fantastic but have a shitty beginning. |

| I Write About Anime (and other stuff) At Standing On My Neck |
| The writer was trying too hard just to amuse some group of people... certainly, now i conlude that this kind of show is something that i would love to hate.. and oh god, for this season i am content.... There is some problem in the park scene mainly because of the rude behaviour of this teenage detective. Alright he's smart, but in this particular scene, he's potrayed as some teenage boy that was capable in partaking a sexual seduction despite his age of puberty (Barely know how to locate his d*ck)... Therefore, i cannot suspend my disbelief... And the last is... There's a report of mass suicide in some lake. It said that the body count of this mass incident perpetrator has been estimated to be around 150 thing.... so? What the fuck is jappanese law apparatus doing in this particular time between midnight and dawn? must be inept as fuck! |

It has nothing to do with the occult. It wasn't entertaining. You could have cut it out and nothing would have changed. Personally, I found that Ria's tale about her brother was not there for mere shock or artsy values. Compared to most segments of the show, the storytelling here was more personal and the pacing was slower. It was as if to describe and relay Ria's viewpoint and psych rather than to just tell what took place, which has already been stated. From Ria's confrontation with the police, to her living alone and her monologue before receiving the phone call, she seems genuinely at loss and is confused for how she mistook her brother to be still alive at that time. This segment, to me a least, made it to show that Ria's actions were not just a result of a mental/psychological disorder from trauma as anyone would first assume when we heard the tale first from the magazine journalist. |
| The pace got better after first two episodes. I like the detective guy. He makes some smart moves. Other than that the clown and the backstory of Aria were creepy. Now we have 51 dead bodies and there are more to be found... I wonder how that happened |

| The detective is the best characters so far. When will people learn not to answer a call from a PRIVATE NUMBER! I'm guessing they all got the same call. |

| As i'd hoped wouldn't happen, we got a lot of derp Tesla occultisms going on. For those that can understand the satire of the cult, that's fine, but for others it can lead people to misunderstanding what Tesla was all about. The Tesla cult is almost entirely an internet cult though, and a rather obscure one too, so it seems unlikely a hobo would know about it. What Tesla found, was a subject known for a very long time into the ancient past, and that is the representative of the universe as a whole: the æther. The æther is a necessary concept for any electrical science to work, including light - a pendulum of counterspatial charge or interspace capacitance in the form of the dielectric, and spatial discharge in the form of transverse EM. A transverse wave has to be transversal to something, you can't have a wave without something that it is waving. There is no cult in source here, no spiritual things, that is a fallacy of the New Age quasi-religion, and their fallacious re-interpretation of Tesla. The behaviour of waves and vibration does imply that things like psychometry can be possible as cognitively perceivable reverberations in materials. Understanding cognitive reflections in nature doesn't have anything to do with spirits or ghosts or demons, and anyone who believes that is off their rocker. Understanding the æther is no easy task, especially with how much particle psychosis has been drilled into everyone's skulls except for engineers. But it has nothing to do with the supernatural, it's just fundamental denotative metaphysics (it's original meaning). This series is really well researched in terms of psychology at least, though anime usually are. That said, it is always interesting seeing some references that are normally outside of the scope of anime. flannan said: Yeah, Chaos;Head had a similar problem of having a lot of neat ideas and really screwing them up, though this seems to be handled less cartoony and ham-fisted than it's old relative.Daniel_Naumov said: Compare it to Chaos;Head, and everything will make sense.
