The victim had a full size key in one teeth, there's no way in hell a full size key fit in his jaw! Let alone pulling it so easily with the complex and antique design it had. But oh well, the episode started better than the previous. Maybe it's because the MC doesn't talk much and as fast as the first episode. Albeit the pace is faster than the previous episode's, it is still too fast. As consequence I feel near no attachment to the characters and their stories. I do feel that they are rushing this so much just for the excuse of having to rewatch all the anime just to catch and understand the hidden hints and details we do not see at first. That in my opinion is a bad direction. While it is true that as a rewatch you should notice and comprehend new things and details you did not when you first saw it, you should not depend on it to fully understand the plot. It's not like it should be like you have to watch it twice just to come to the level of understanding you get after watching a good anime once. In the end, the only salvageable are the OP and the ED. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - eworm said: Exactly.

| I wonder if 12 episodes is enough, because it's been stuck on introductions for the past two episodes and the plot haven't moved at all. |
| I'm glad the pacing slowed right down for this episode, so I could at least understand what's going on a bit better. The detective seems like a chill guy, although the other detectives wasn't in the mood for his reasoning of the crime scene being similar to one in a doujin manga. The whole fortune telling and curse telling was easier to connect now and it does explain why our MC encountered the corpse. Despite that, he had very little screentime at all. Overall, this episode was good, although I still feel confused at times. =/ |
| Well, this was so much better than first episode. Still, I'm not quite sure what is going on. :D |
| "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." |
| even though the pace was slower, I still have no idea what's going on. Not a clue |
| I agree, this was better than the first episode but the pacing is still to fast. Let's wait for next week. |
  |
Hoo, ho,hoooo, looks like Yuuta got himself into more deeper shit, so does that golden tooth/ket leads to the code? I wonder if we get to see some panchira with this big boob bimboo? |
| All the talk of mental travel to the past and the instructions from the radio being too precise makes me wonder if the voice is from the future, this gave me 999 vibes!

I doubt this will ever be a character driven work or if even the authors had such intentions. This looks like an event/info driven story and I hope the plot and characters come to paint a decent concept in the end. |
| I'm glad its slower paced but I think because of how many different characters are going on I really can't keep track. Maybe that's my own stupid fault but I really am not willing to get more lost than I already am. |

| This second episode was a lot better, especially regarding the pacing. A lot of things happen, I liked how they changed of characters and succeed to show us all their stories without it being incomprehensible. |
| Erhmpf o_O It was a bit better thanks to more normal pacing but when talking of story it's still utterly bad. MC is still annoying as hell. The problem of this show is it tries to mix way too many myster concepts and plots together (time-travelling, ghosts, mind-powers, fortune telling, whosdoneit, and so on) which would work each by each but it just all fails to work together, not to mention it also feels really non-believable. This is NOTHING close to Steins;Gate and never will be, although it's probably part of the same world (well, that doesn't change the fact that S;G is the only good story out of Science adventure as Chaos;Head and Robotic;Notes were both pretty bad). This anime is probably already doomed to be a waste of time as such a bad start can possibly never turn into anything close to great. |
| I have to admit, this is a much better episode than that absolute train-wreck of a first episode last week. The pacing slowed down considerably and I can appreciate that. That MC is really idiotic and annoying oh god and his massive tits friend is no better. I really hope Occultic;Nine will spend the next couple of episodes not just advancing this mystery, but also improving its main characters cause I can't really stand them or even root for them right now. Overall, I'll give Occultic;Nine one more episode before I decide to continue or not. |
 |
| Better than episode 1, now I think it has the potential to be a good show |
 |
| I still think they're opening up way too many threads way too fast without enough further elaboration. So far this feels like the kind of show that tries to seem "smart" by overloading the viewer with vague information and revealing it in an order that makes you strain to remember the previous scene relevant to what's currently happening. There's been so much buildup so far with zero payoff that it's kind of ridiculous; I mean, I don't expect them to spell everything out in the first two episodes, but it's hard to flesh out characters and make them interesting when they're sprinting through events/dialogue as fast as this is. My hope that this'll all come together to form a cohesive narrative is basically nil at this point, especially considering this is only gonna be 12 episodes. And even if it does conclude in a satisfying way come the finale, will it really be worth sitting through it all just for that? Overall I'd say this is an interesting show, but not in a good way. |
| Nothing really happened, yet I was required to pay full attention when watching. A rather interesting experience I'll dare say. From the source the story is likely to have a rather complete ending, pair with the storytelling, I'm in for this crazy ride. Feels like Baccano now, can't wait for the next few episodes to fill up the blanks in the puzzle. . MORE RYO-TITS PLEASE |
| You will soon learn that a heart that choose to exist, even in a life filled with pain, will one day allow us to meet again. With the world's blessings, we will meet again and again, forever returning to the homeworld we've yet to see. Many, many times.  |
| Much better pacing than the first god awful episode so I didn't get a headache this time around, yay. |
 |
| I'm kind of lost because I don't really identify all the characters and I don't know what the fuck is happening. And when is happening. |

| Miyuu was accused of making up her fortunes by two different callers on her show. Yuta found a key in the murdered professor's mouth. He's possibly implicated himself in the crime. The detective Shun knows something about why he was murdered. That girl in the Kurenaino mansion is connected with some kind of supernatural figure. I'm not sure why Miyuu and the other girl went to the mansion, though. Miyuu's friend Chi bought a bird but ran into some trouble, possibly with that woman they passed on the street. Professor Hashigami believed that people could "travel back in time" by catching up with their mental consciousness, which travels faster than their physical consciousness. These are the things I recall from this episode. I wonder what the "occult" has to do with the show. Maybe instead of supernatural, the stuff happening in this show is by people who known what Hashigami found out. And I'm not sure what that quick flash of scenes at the start of the first episode was. Looking forward to more. |

plutodiplomat said: I'm not sure why Miyuu and the other girl went to the mansion, though. They were supposed to conduct an interview, but fell into the cursing girl's pace, and failed utterly. Or maybe the big breasts girl is really crazy, and decided to curse the MC on her own. |
| Never read the LN so I have no idea just how fast or slow the story is going at, but I can say that the second episode was just as confusing as the first due to the constant back and forth we're getting in the timeline. The key in the mouth was weird as heck, but not unexpected. The curse girl having spent time with her dead brother's corpse was creepy, and yet from her Fadebook posts, you could notice that she was teetering on the boarder of insanity and lucidity throughout her time. Her posts about the brother and the sea indicate either some supernatural happenings, and yet her comments in between about bugs and a strong stench clearly indicate that she was logical, yet still in denial about the rotting corpse in her room. Perhaps her brother's ghost was actually tricking her, or perhaps it was the demon that she apparently has made a deal with playing a trick on her. The MC is seriously screwed since his prints were all over that knife as well as the wrench. I'm more curious about the shota detective though, since he seems to know a lot more than he's letting on about (something about "saving all 256 of them") and his destroying the bloody evidence seems a bit too suspect for me to like him right now. Given the flashbacks and the guys trying to denounce her, I can't help but feel sorry for Miyuu. She rightly saw things about the future, yet there was nothing she could do about it. Plus she keeps getting insulted by stupid kids wasting time and money to do so. I really hope she won't at least die at the end of the show. |

| maybe im the only one who's enjoying this anime a lot ? tbh, i like this episode a lot especially that cliffhanger is the one who made me looking foward to the next episode... well, put it simply, i like supernatural and i like non-linear narrative. that's the only reason why i like this anime. and for addition, the animation and character design looks unique. overall, this episode wasn't really that hype but i enjoyed it. there are still many questions tho.....and it keeps appearing more and more each episode lol... and one more; the story indeed is so confusing, but i really hope that they will connect everything in the end. basically like no linear narrative. just hope A-1 won't messed this one up xD |
 |
| Better than first episode. This show is kinda weird, but it keeps teasing my curiosity and I like it. In this episode we see some strange connections maded by curses/visions that link the characters somehow. The curse in the main character... The one who is dead is Sarai's father? ... I'm really curious right now. |
 |
| They try to imitate Durarara !! in cutting scenes but Occutlic Nine doesn't equal it. |
 |
| Pacing better, still very confused. I have a feeling I may need to watch episodes more than once to get everything. |
| This is so confusing it makes me don't want to even bother thinking much about it! The scenes were all over the place, I doubt the animation staff there even know what's going on right now.. Again, I watch this for Miyuu. I wish this series focused more on her fortunetelling stuff instead of flooding watcher's head with all of these mess.. |
 |
| Ok I don't understand anything going on in this show. But i'll just continue watch it coz 1. Ryo's boobs 2. Amazing ED |
| Pog |
| I'm pretty sure Chi-chan is a fodder by now! And I think Ririka might be the culprit! Gamon was probably set-up. That otaku detective knows a lot! Everything still unclear! Ryouka still boobingly annoying! 3/5. |

Argyll said: TheArtofAnime said: First episode was just weak and really fast (the constant boobs didn't help) and being written by the same guy that created Steins;Gate, people are feeling an extreme let down. But they probably shouldn't expect Steins;Gate out of something different. 6.6 sounds about right for the first episode to me, but if the show continues on the route of the second episode, I'd feel that score is a little low, we'll have to see near the end. MAL ratings don't matter in the end anyway, look at Kimi no Na wa. I don't understand where all the complaint about rush comes from. The first episode may feel mundane for introducing characters like fast spinning them through a karasel. On the other hand, is lengthy introduction episodes considered good by people? While the episode was fast pace, it introduced the personalities and behaviors of the characters quite well (e.g. care-free vs timid, socially inept, eccentric vs putting a facade vs serious of all the different characters). What the first episode introduced made the action of the respective characters in the second episode feel natural. Setting-wise, the first episode establishes a world of school+internet blog where ghost and paranormal phenomena likely exist. What were shown though, such the blogging and the TV show debating paranormal phenomena, are all mundane and chore-ish. Is going through them "slowly" good in any regard? I don't see a large amount of complex ideas here. Meanwhile, the unique and pretty artwork has done a good job in making an eerie feel to the series right away with the first episode. As for the boobs, a point of eccentricity/humor at this point, nothing significant. The only thing "rushed" in the first episode is the dialogue, which was only rushed because, while Japanese viewers would listen to the stylistically fast-paced dialogue, Western viewers had to watch subtitles at an unhumanly eye-hurting pace. It is silly to include that aspect in the rating though. Rushed subtitle is not a part of the anime itself. You raise a few good points. But rushed dialogue / subtitles aren't really my concern (I quite enjoyed how quickly dialogue went in the Tatami Galaxy). The art style was fine, I was impressed that A1 didn't go for the same usual style that they do and it feels more of a wet style. But the first episode is a deal-breaker for a lot of people, introducing characters so fast that people don't really care about them doesn't work for some people. The focus in the second episode was a lot better with the characters it included, if they're going to continue with character focused episodes like this, it wouldn't really have mattered if we saw them in the first episode at all - the time could have just went to more character development. An engaging first episode > an episode that introduces every character for the sake of showing the characters. Pacing is a hard thing to nail what is the right pace, it depends on the show really and what the show is aiming to accomplish. Like you said though, there's probably really no complex ideas at work here and it's probably just a more entertainment piece. That said, the slower pace of the second episode vs. the faster pace of the first episode just contrasts very hard and that most likely comes down to the director. |
| It was better than the first episode, but the story is still confusing |

| I feel like everything is all over the place, Story, Characters etc. I'm surprised that Aria is voiced by Miyuki Sawashiro. It does not even sound like any of her other roles that ive seen so far. (Suruga, Seo, Celty etc) If anything she kinda sounds like Sinon but still quite monotone, and I really am enjoying this new approach by her. very Talented. |

| WoW ! I was very skeptic to this anime but now i really like it. There is't much chaos like in first eposide |
 |
| The show is getting better and makes me feel thrilled. Can't wait for the next episodes~ |

The problem with Tesla, is that people don't realize he was more of a visionary than a practical inventor. Tesla is the modern age DaVinci. Steinmetz was the practical genius who made Tesla's inventions a reality, by investigating things of far greater complexity than he ever did.GenesisAria said: I just noticed...

It just seems out of place. Well technically the Tesla-fans of the internet these days are a cult, so i guess it makes sense, but just showing a random coil is like showing a typewriter or a turing machine, it seems kinda random. Being reminded of the Tesla cult doesn't make me happy though, because it undermines what the people of his time were actually accomplishing. “I would not give my rotating magnetic field discovery for a thousand inventions, however valuable, designed merely as mechanical contraptions to deceive the eye and ear! A thousand years hence, the telephone and the motion picture camera may be obsolete, but the principle of the rotating magnetic field will remain a vital, living thing for all time to come.” –Nikola Tesla |

| So, I have actually looked up electrohypersensitivity that the "year to live" caller claimed to have. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_hypersensitivity Basically, that's a delusion that the person is sensitive to electromagnetic fields and feels bad when they are present. Which gives weight to the idea that the caller was lying. Edit: in the (mean) spirit of MAL, have a 50% more snarkly article: http://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_hypersensitivity @GenesisAria Well, by the 3rd episode, they've been name-dropping Tesla a lot, so here's your reason. |

The unified field problem was solved before Einstein, because everything MUST be unified for any of physics to even work, especially electrical physics.So, I have actually looked up electrohypersensitivity that the "year to live" caller claimed to have. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_hypersensitivity Basically, that's a delusion that the person is sensitive to electromagnetic fields and feels bad when they are present.

In simple terms, EM hypersensitivity is a farce. You don't get more or less sensitive to something that always interacts with the same things in the same ways, and never failes to interact with anything. Bad science in fiction is always funny, but i really don't like it when people mess with the names and fame of the many people who knew the truth, and convoluting it with modern ignorance. EM can give you cancer, but so can virtually anything else, by electrochemically causing the membrane of sells to fail their job, and lose connectivity with the rest of the body's network. The probability of people getting cancer from any specific thing is calculatable if you have insufficient information on what's happening, and it's the same fallacy they misuse on subatomic effects, yet they seem too incompetent to apply probabilities to cancer causes (cuz the whole cancer sensation is a process of beating around the bush). Ofc the caller was lying, anyone with any common sense would have noticed immediately, he was stirring up shit. He didn't even believe his own words. As soon as he was called into question by Myuu's foresight (which has already been shown that she's a real seer) he snapped and backed out. |
