| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Oh classic, using NicoNico to get the message across. So the mystery feels like it's getting more awkward now with the recent murders. Shun kinda reminds me of Firo from Baccano for some reason. Pacing feels pretty awkward for the storytelling still. Regarding the case, it's pretty much the standard detective story type although it has somewhat of a thrilling feel to it. |
 |
| I was definitely hoping that the pace would slow down from ep1, and it certainly did. This felt much more cohesive than the first episode, but I have high hopes for this series. Everyone said Steins;Gate opened too slow, but in many ways, Occultic;Nine opening too fast might just be a cornerstone of this series. We've still got a lot going on in the plot department, but I can at least wrap my head around what's important and what isn't. Seems like we're building to something really good. |
| He had blood all over his right hand and he touched his hair, arms etc ... I'm triggered |
| Well that was just a tremendous improvement over the trainwreck that was the first episode. Felt like the pacing was seriously 4-5 times slower. This is more like what I expected/hoped this anime would be like initially Sooo yeah hopefully it'll keep this pacing up for the rest of its progression and we can put the awkward start behind us |
  |
| That big brother part that lasted about 2 mins was REALLY unnerving. That was very well done. Now that the second episode has slowed down tremendously after that trainwreck first episode, i really would like to see someone put a summary here of all the events happening, maybe in the right timeline. Maybe i can get into this after reading it and watching episode 3. |
| Well.. it's better than the previous episode but it is still crap... I don't expect it to improve anymore, too much cringe for a show with such premise. Can the MC stfu already, god damn.. |
 |
| Someone on Reddit did a little summary on this episode. ''The girl that was obsessed with her brother that they were talking about is the girl that puts curses on people. She put a curse on the main character which caused him to stumble upon the dead corpse and the knife. The fortune teller foretold SARAI's fathers death. His father is the guy that was killed and scalped. And then the woman who wrote the doujinshi about the guy getting his tooth pulled and stuff is being set up as the culprit for this incident, as well as the incident revealed at the very end, with the fortune tellers friend sending her a sketchy picture.'' - RedTurtle78 |
| This is just getting more creepy, especially about Ria's fadebook. |

| Better than the first episode with the pacing. It's a interesting but confusing story. |
 |
| This was way more enjoyable and easier to follow compared to episode 1. If the rest of the show keeps this up, then maybe my opinion about this show will change. Maybe not by a lot, but it'll change slightly. Also love that anime logic, MC had blood on his hand but when he touched his hair and other things, none of his blood got on those things......cool. |

| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| A bit slower pace than the first episode, although I'm hoping its going to be more slower pace on the upcoming episodes. So that make sense then, everything that happened were connected to each other, from the cursing, then murder, to doujin. I'm glad I can still keep up to this show despite with its wtf pacing. |
 |
| Oh my god this show is so boring! This show isn't bothering to develop its characters at all and the dialogue is nothing but fast-talking exposition and nerd jokes that only exist to move the plot a certain way and add nothing to the story. What is the appeal of these Baccano/Durarara/Guy Ritchie-ish shows?! Why am I supposed to care about the mysteries or the energetic direction if none of your characters have pathos or personal flaws to them? |

That Easter egg in the picture in the end thought. Does anyone know how is cardfight vanguard connected to this show? They don't share any same staff members, at least what i checked. Now it started to bug me that i cannot find the connection between these animes... |
| This was much much better than the first episode (not that it was bad), but it lost its uniqueness :/ |
| Normal pacing!!! |
| Everything just flowed much better in this episode compared to the first episode. I hope this show gets better with more episodes fixing the problems. |
| Sigh. |
| Another great episode - can't wait for the next one. I love how we slowly get introduced to all the characters. |
 |
| 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 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. |
| :v |
| 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. |
 |
| more characters, more situations, and dialogues very confused and more back and donw in the time...for the moment, tha assessin is the Butler xD |
| 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 is better but that is just the tip of the iceberg for this garbage. drop |
| I'm getting more Steins;Gate vibes from this one episode |
| 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. |
 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. 3/5 |
 |
| the difference of this episode and the first one is overwhelming, managed to like it and it kept me tune... i hope it stills on this pace and dont go rushing and doing nonsense from now on 4/5 it could be 5/5 but big watermelons airhead appeared once... |
| "We could make the world better, but it's easier to just shut our eyes." ~Blackwall |
| I mean, it was better than the first episode but it's still extremely messy and I feel like everything is just all over the place, also I don't understand why some of the females have dangerously large breasts? lmao |
 |
| 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. |
| Awesome episode. As I thought, one of the best series in this season. |
| Dub = fake crap. Always. |
Todd_ said: 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? 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. |

| wellll, the plot opened up more so I have no complaints |
| the pace is fast...i actually had to pay attention to what is happening and i didnt do it since Baccano |
 |
| Slightly better than the first episode, but it was a bit confusing. Here's hoping it gets better. |
 |
| Liked this episode a lot more! |
| Good thing the pace slowed down in this episode. It's a lot better like this. This episode somehow had this mysterious and creepy feeling to it. Hopefully the show will keep this up. |
  |
| 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. |
