Pacing is far better than last week and way easier to keep up. This episode was decent but I'm still having troubles finding any sort of enjoyment from this series.

Male MC continues to piss me off.

Seems like one of those SOL, supernatural shows laced with speed or something. Sorry but at this point the most interesting thing is still that chick's utters. I feel like I've been down this road two or three times and it's always leads to some half baked premise with one or two good ideas tied to a cement block in the middle of a lake.

Right, let me... let me try again. Is there any connection to the rest of the titles of ";"? Or do they simply employ the ; since the studio has produced the rest of ; titles? Appreciate the answer.

Well the only connection between O; 9 and the other ";" series is that they have the same original creator. The stories don't have any connection with each other since O; 9 is set in a different universe.

Hmm this episode was a massive step up from the first episode
Its nice how they are managing to link each of the main characters in the story to the case

So Miyu does a live stream on fortune telling eh
interesting. NicoNico though is a good medium to use as its way more popular in Japan than YouTube.

Miyu is just so energetic and positive huh
So she's actually a schoolgirl idol eh
im glad that Miyu has a good friend

Im liking the fact that each episode seems to focus on a different character
Miyu is so more interesting than the mc

Hmm so killing the professor wasn't enough
you had to yank his hair off as well lol
But that ties in with Miyuki's character the curser

The voice on the radio sure is interesting
its like it knows what just happened even though he shouldn't

That detective though looks fishy
he's clearly more than a usual detective

a key hidden with the gold tooth
smart

Wow Miyu is a pretty brave person
even when under such pressure she completely blows off Sarai like that
Her powers though are really something and she's pretty honest

Lol Ryouka is such a funny girl
Cursing the mc for two timing even though they aren't really
together lol


Aria though is an interesting character
and man she charges a lot for her curses
So Aria was that girl with the mummy eh
such a unhealthy attachment to your brother
And the devil spirit that she seems to know as well

Hmm looks like Miyu's friend is gone
and that woman in the end killed her

Much better than the first episode. No stupid oversized boobs-girl and much slower pacing.
I like the mystery in this show.

But there are still many jumps and scenes which somehow are related or not (difficult to judge). Sometimes still something confusing, but let's see how the next episodes will be.

well, this is mildly interesting, but I'm far from sold. there are many differents plot threads that don't add up to an interesting narrative, so the viewer is still left hanging. I really hope more things start tying up in the next 1-2 episodes.

The part where he ripped the professor's tooth out was the best scene of the series so far imo. Much better than the first episode, I really like Miyu, hope nothing terrible happens to her. [Her friend is probably toast though.]

Most of the girls are pretty.

The pace was noticeably slower, but still little of it was understandable, especially detective-san's phone call, which is not a particularly good thing. It means it lost a unique descriptor and didn't gain anything from it.

Well, I like this enough to wait. This was slightly better towards the end too.

Better than the first episode but still quite confusing overall. Since the two most annoying characters were barely in this episode, it was far more bearable. Hope it continues to recover from the atrocious first episode.

 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.

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. =/

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.

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.

Now I finally get what people are so angry about. God, I wish the MC would shut up at times... He's like yak yak and no action. I'd be surprised if he had good development which I don't think, since there's so many characters. Maybe we won't have to see him that much? Really curious as to who the girl talking to the MC turns out to be and where this murder mystery takes place. Also, why erase the word "code?" You'd think that guy would want the detectives to find out... But no. Last but not least, what is the girl with the giant breast have to do with the plot, but annoy us... Literally she's kinda boring unlike Myu. Excited for more symbolism... Yet it's only the second episode. Holding on with promise for the series.

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.

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.

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.

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
