This show is a failed mix of supernatural, comedy, and slice of life, revolving an UN-CUTE (even though hot) girl Maya and a super-PATHETIC ex-esper time-traveling-by-force young man Bunmei (which literally means "modern") in their journey to search for the "Notradamus's key" to break the prophecy about the End Day in 2012 and solve the mystery behind the school principal's death.
The show is meant to explore occult mysteries which, in common knowledge, consist of objects, monsters, phenomena, and spells. A supporting character called Haruse develops an obsession of searching for occult things and she did nothing but spontaneously popping out and bringing up some random occult OBJECTs (e.g. OOPart) or phenomena (e.g. poltergeist) which had nothing to do with the story. So far unrelated MONSTERs appeared randomly without any reason. The only notable PHENOMENON in the storyline is 2012 apocalypse, which is alien invasion in this case. Finally, there was only one silly SPELL that turns the corpse into an undead. The spell book which Maya coincidentally discovered and inherited from her father was never used...
Story: 5
The foundation of the universe in this show is not consistent. Most objects and phenomena brought up by character Haruse are not real and based on her imagination and obsession, which implies that this universe is just a normal world where "occult" literally means "hidden secret." But then those MONSTERs just showed up like they should have always been there to show up...
Also, there is completely no flow because a lot of unnecessary details (some for comedic purpose) get in the way, e.g., vice-president's crust, Bunmei's affair with the landowner's daughter, Ami(Maya's close friend)'s dad's affection toward Maya and his silly occult prank.
Such slice of life scenes are too bleak and unnecessarily long.

Good anyway. Maya looks hot, white one-piece is hot...
Sound: 6
Voices and soundtrack score are good but the OP and ED are totally out of place with the show's content: OP is so-so and can be used for any anime. ED is a common piece about love while there's completely no romance in this show. I wouldn't regard Bunmei's affair with the landowner's daughter as a romance because when they were separated in a dark cave and even after the whole cave was detonated, he didn't give a darn about his girl and kept acting loony until he found her outside, mysteriously safe and sound.
Character: 6
No depth, little background. Main girl is uncute, main guy pathetic, the occult-obsessed Haruse shallow, and Ami the close friend unreasonable. Even the save-the-Earth committee in 2012 are a bunch of idiots because they picked Bunmei the beggar on the street to travel time and take on the mission of finding the "Notradamus's key."
Enjoyment: 6
Great disappointment.
Overall: 6
For one-time watching and cheap entertainment.
