I think, that Mikaze might steal Nostradamus's key from Maya or Bunmei.
All of her attitudes to Bunmei might be traps.

Derp drama was derp.
Also, giving Akari way too much episode-time.
Oh and it feels pretty damn weird to have a christmas party in September.
Edit: Oh lawdy, if they actually kill Maya, things'll turn interesting : D

Maya can't be dead yet! The show basically on her..well in the beginning it was all about Fumiaki, but now he's getting pushed all over the place.

Deep down that waitress, Mikaze, just treats Fumiaki nicely just to get something out of him or something and the next episode might tell us what she wants. Something about her just doesn't me like her. She's EVIL! A nice car and a restaurant that barely get enough customers.....????? Not adding up.

The remaining episodes show be interesting, hopefully season 2 will be announced if sales were good.

No. Is obvious to everyone she s jealous of Fumiaki-Mikaze.
Maybe not love, that doesnt matter. But yes, she is jealous.

She distracts Fumiaki from is main objective. And dont seems happy when Fumiaki leaves her and Cihiro to heelp Maya and the others.
Yes. Mikaze is evil. I believe in that!
But i dont expect to see news in next episode.

Lolwut. It's as if people here have never before noticed that japs often make series like this: there's vague "main plot" that motivates characters overall but most of the stuff is episodic.

That said I really liked this episode.

I'm with you on this one. Lately she's been around him more often than ever. And why would she want to sell food inside the occult academy school in the first place? To get sales up is not my idea. I'm sure the food just a distraction to get something.

Very touching. Especially when Maya finally starts crying and Fumiaki quietly comforts her.

It's the subtle, emotional scenes of this series that make me like it.

...I think I'm done caring about this show. The dad was a terrible character that deserved no sympathy, and didn't seem to care so much that his daughter died as much as he did that he was the cause for her death. I don't buy his turnaround, and I don't buy there lame parallel that they tried to give Maya as a "let's get to the story now" catalyst.

They may be returning to the main story next episode but it doesn't change the fact that the past few episodes had little to no help in progressing the plot. Even though this episode was kinda heartwarming and sad, I didn't care anymore. The way the show was going was just so poorly directed. I expected a lot from this show but sadly, I'm disappointed. Bumping down my score on this.

Lol at people believing the preview.

Yeah. For the first 5 or so episodes, I talked about how I liked it despite the fact that they weren't dealing with the main plot. It was enough that Maya and Bunmei's relationship was growing. But they used this little arc to rehash what's gone on since Maya saw Bunmei's past, and it's just dumb to do for a 13 episode series.

Alright, I asked the same question on the Horrible subs site, but the comment is pretty far back now and I can't find it. So I'll ask here, is this series aired in HD (or just SD) because I don't know whether or not the Horrible Subs 720ps are upscales or not. Thanks

I'm guessing it's airing in HD, since as far as I know, HorribleSubs just rip the stuff and torrent it, without and up/downscaling or anything. Correct me if I'm wrong though.

THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Mikaze is on the dark-side.
......................................................................................defined?



It looks like Mikaze realizes that her rival is Maya from the way he cared about her losing her old house.
From the preview she's going all boob out to win.
I wonder if there isn't some other reason she's all over Abe than love? Maybe she's an alien that's supposed to stop him or something.


garfield15 said:
Actually, I thought this was a very heartwarming episode and finally gave Maya some closure with the memory of her father so she has a real goal now that is beyond "kill the school."


Yeah me too. I found it sweet and a lot better than the last few episodes.

Next episode shit hits the fan. Title "Mayas death" and that pic with Maya on the floor. WTF?

-Vid said:

Also, when will they finally realize that Mikaze is the key? Ok, really, I dunno anything about it, but I cna't get this feeling off me, and she put such an evil glare on when Bunmei went to Maya's house. :P


Well that could be just because she sees Maya as a threat between her and Abe but as you say it really does give you the feeling that there is more than meets the eye.

Raigeki1993 said:
Clearly either Mikaze or Vice President killed Maya, no spirit can go near her, her dad's diary protects her from all spirit beings and monsters. I have NEVER trusted Mikaze and NEVER will. Maybe after she is the Nostrodomus Key, she kills Maya then she calls the aliens to come invade, because Maya was the biggest obstacle. Mikaze probably came from the future to kill Bunmei(reference to terminator on how the future terminators kept going to the past to kill John Connor). Plus, Mikaze's voice is really annoying, it just pierces through me.


Emmm.......dude.. you can already hear the voice in the preview say that it was the vice principal who did it.

So i went into this episode saying, "alright, time to get this Akari arc over with." Then i proceeded to watch through this, and somehow ending up crying at the Akari scene. Cliche situation i know, but the effect worked and i left with a positive view of this episode.

Did anyone else find the vibes between Abe and Maya... Weird? Or a little off track. I mean usually you don't have a vision of a her right after you think "could this be the moment i get my first girlfriend?"
^Either way we are killing her off. My guess is that Abe will work with the students to raise her from the dead... Okay maybe more like i hope. As long as it works well it will be an interesting development.


I like this series so far, I mean as long as I enjoy it overall, which I am, it does not seem so bad.
I am a sucker for romance!!!!

Ok so... Like some people already mentioned: The episode was great by itself, very emotional.

But since this isn't a 20+ episodes series, I don't think they should waste so much time on filler episodes for us to understand the main character a little better. I mean that's ok and it works wonders with animes with a lot of episodes, but with One-season-only anime series like Occult Gakuin it will only interfere with the main plot and make it look rushed. I mean how come they forget something so important as the Nostradamus Key, the only thing that can save the world from destruction? >_>

Yup, I agree, too many fillers (or "monster of the week" episodes). You can only compensate that with facial expressions so much.

Raigeki1993 said:
A question, is it possible for that fat guy to be the Key??? Remember a few episodes ago when he was playing the alien and then Abe took a picture of him, the fat guy was alive with 2-3 kids that looks like him. Abe stated that if he takes a picture of the Key, it will show a bright future and not a wasteland. He also took a picture of Vice President and there was a wasteland and he was poor and dead, so she isn't the key.
As far as I could tell, the background on that pic was a wasteland too, so, no. I suppose Fat "JK" Dowser's just one of the survivors of the apocalypse and somehow found himself a wife. Or a cloning machine. Probably the latter.

My thoughts exactly why waste time on a common spirit when nostradamus key is clearly the top priority.
