It feels like nothing much happened this episode, lol.
This episode it felt like they got more explanations done of what happened in the first episode.

This was more like an anime episode but it can slow done a little more. It is still fast for anime episodes.
I don't know why but I really can't stand the MC. MC is a total idiot.

this is seriously disastrous, and im the kind of guy who always try to find something positive in every thing I see no matter how bad it looks at first sight. i wanted to give this thing a second chance since episode 1, but f*ck this. dont care if it gets "better" in the upcoming episodes, you cant do this kind of things in the beginning.

Everything's a bit rather confusing than coherent right now, but the cases surrounding Sarai's father, the girl and her older brother, and Miyuu's friend all seem connected. Hopefully the pacing stays steady for a while, but despite that things are getting more interesting.

Better pacing than the first episode, and now it's somehow easier to follow than Durarara, haha. A comment on a website said this is pretty much Steins; Gate + Durarara.

I'm happy the episode was not focused on the 'obnoxious' main character.


Excited for more to come.

The pacing this time was slower and the action wasn't focused on the MC except for some minutes of the beginning. It still went very quickly for me.
I'm really surprised that fucking professor had an entire key inside his jaw?! What the fuck.

I liked the otaku detective, such an easygoing, slightly arrogant individual with an stylish hat. He bring out some interesting elements here (like the meaning of CODE and the investigation of that girl with his deceased older brother).

We also know the loli nor her ghost partner didn't killed the professor. For the moment, I suspect of the brunette woman with big tits, who also did something to the friend of the fortune-teller girl (or so I think).

Wonder what will happen the next.

Pacing much better, but pretty much everything else was no better, if not actually worse, than the first episode. Everything feels even more disconnected than last week somehow, and overall it's just an absolute mess. Only consolation is that boobs-for-brains barely appeared at all, but that's not enough to make this good.

I still hold out hope for improvement, but the promising signs I saw in the first episode were all but gone this time around.

This episode felt a bit like Durarara with a twist of murder mystery. It focuses on different character POVs and they're all somehow connected to the main plot altogether.

The pacing is also a lot better so I was able to understand most of what they were saying. It took me a while to figure out that the fortune telling scene between that fortune teller and the cancer (allegedly) patient, and also the fortune telling scene about some guy's dad, took place before the murder :/.

Still don't know half of their names (Tnx Ep.1 for the rushed intro) but overall, it was a nice episode and a major improvement from the 1st episode.

4/5 Yay, big-C cup was barely in this episode. I'm hoping they keep it that away. Can't wait for next week xD.

Everyone has missed the fact that the biggest mysteries in this show all revolve around one person. Mainly:
HOW THE FUCK DOES THIS PERSON STAY UPRIGHT?
HOW THE FUCK HASN'T THIS PERSON SUFFOCATED HERSELF?
HOW THE FUCK DOESN'T THIS PERSON HAVE CRIPPLING SPINE PROBLEMS?
HOW THE FUCK IS THIS PERSON ALIVE?!

Thank god they didn't try to adapt another valume in one episode again. Pacing felt much better and it gave time for the series to focus on its plot points. The mystery aspect is alright, but nothing spectacular. But I am somewhat intrigued now so hopefully the series gets better soon.

This was a lot better but the first episode was really awful so simply slowing down the pacing to what a regular show works at was an improvement. Didn't find it hard to follow, I'm starting to see the connections between the stories now. Hope it can keep it up.
If only "Ryotas" was a more minor character because I dread her becoming important to the plot. Just can't take her seriously.
Amazed they keep the animation quality so high. This has really nice art direction too in my opinion.

Yes the pace has been now okay for this episode compare to first episode.
This episode was also okay,and I hope it will get more better at later episodes.
By the way,one of character really really reminds of Shun from baccano! he ressemble him well and now i can imagine that he took part on this in Occult;Nine!!

Does anyone can predict this at least that how many total episode we might see from this anime?

The plot thickens and there are several factions and people converging into this incident.
Gamotan's radio helps him get out of the situation but he's also deep in all of this now.
The terminal cancer guy is obviously faking it to try and discredit myu's ability.
That brocon girl, I feel bad for her and she may be the loli curse girl and the ghost which might be her brother is getting aggressive.
Ryotas also suspicious for giving her all that money to curse gamotan.
That cutey Chi looks like a goner :'(

Good episode. Not as fast paced as the first one which is good.
Yuuta managing to escape before Moritsuka got to the crime scene. Well that's one way of hiding a key.


Myu & Ryou-tas cursing Yuuta. Wells that helpful.
Ririka & that smile.
Hmm wonder what happened to Chi?

The directing and screenplay are still a mess and there's just way too much expository dialogue. I'm disappointed. I had read so much about this being a worthy sucessor to Steins Gate but I'm just not seeing it happen.

So the pace of the show slowed down after all. Called it.

So it appears that this show is going the route of showing what seems to be multiple isolated incidents and characters, but as the show goes on these events begin to connect to form the bigger picture. That could make this very suspenseful to watch if done correctly.

More light was shed on events from last episode but things are still murky. Clearly some things shown were those from the past, such as the fortune telling scene.

Again, most of the hate from this show seems to be unjustified. If people gave other shows that had odd ways of storytelling like say, Concrete Revolutio, why not give this a chance?

I would like some more characterization in the next episode, but we did get some for other characters such as the detective and Miyuu.

Looking forward to more.

Also, Ryouka has exploded in popularity over in Japan-land. Could she be the next Hestia? We'll see.

Because Concrete Revolutio's visuals were full of political/historical metaphors relating to 60s/70s Japan and every single character had unique viewpoints regarding how the world worked. Occultic;Nine's visuals and characters are just otaku trends revolving around the murder of an old man.

I don't hate this show because I can't follow it. I hate it because it's junk food and really annoying.

The pace is slower this episode. Still makes little to no sense.

Seriously, stop jumping around and pick a main story to build around and a protagonist. They had a perfect inciting incident of finding the corpse - and they do next to nothing with it (and the little they do is absolutely moronic on multiple levels), instead showing us once again characters we know nothing about and care nothing about. One more episode of this non-story and I'm dropping this, because this is getting ridiculous. You can't make a series that makes sense only on rewatch.

While I'm glad they slowed the pace down, I still don't have a clue of what's going on. The story is all over the place without a clear sense of direction but I am hoping that they would all collide together in the end that connects everything. The mystery aspect I'm not feeling either and it is just kinda meh.

I'm curious about the mystery...that tooth key! D:
About Cow Tits, in the ending she doesn't look so weird, so I guess is the clothes that make it really unproportional...? I mean, I thought she was a chubby character because I thought it was her stomach XD

They really slowed down the pace. This was like.. 1/4 of the second LN volume. I don't know why they had to rush through the whole first volume in one episode and what they're gonna do after they adapt the 2 and 3 volumes, but it's going very well and I'm still loving it.
probably because it's only 12 episodes

Ugh this was utter BS, but not as much as the first time. Not dropping yet beciase it is getting more interesting. Glad they didn't try to adapt a million pages into an episode again. The only reason I think people are even watching this show do begin with is because of the ";", lol. Not every show similar to Steins;Gate will be good. I know the pacing is slowed down but now it just feels like it's all over the place instead of fixed imo. I think I'll see this to the end, my opinions my change. The story isn't as WTF anymore, making a little more sense- but that isn't much. Also, this story had the PERFECT opportunity to introduce protags that weren't kids like a lot of people have been asking for for years.

Much better than last week but then again, getting kicked in the head a dozen or so times is better than getting a limb amputated.
It's more connected sure but the plot seems to just be thrown together and the characters seem to have no backstory or actual proper personality (apart from tits mckenzie who just screams).

you know what else got built up on a shit foundation?

a self-proclaimed otaku-private detective genius? what the hell man! this is too farfetched!

guess you didn't watch Baccano. it doesn't have a main character, there is many time skips It is regarded as a masterpiece by many and in the end all the pieces fall in place. Also there story building like the hair that appeared in the mailbox was the doctor's hair. The dr. Has a son (at least I think he is the same person that died in the Fortune.) Which is the guy with the glasses and black hair. There are some other things. But this post is getting long, and I don't want to write thumbs down

The good news is that the pacing is more manageable.

The bad news is that its now falling under the same boat that Summer 2015's Ranpo Kitan: Game of Laplace was apart of. IE: Edgy mystery that barely makes sense. At least the characters in Durarara were memorable. This has like 2 characters that I'll remember, fortune teller (because she calls every one of her followers sick puppies) and big boobs (because she's overly loud).

I don't understand how the series is getting 6.60 score.

I haven't read the LN and I am judging based on the anime only. So far, the anime is far more interesting and has far better arts than the vast majority of score 7 and many score 8 animes.
