Oh, another show from A1-Pictures? Heh, I know I'm going to like this just because of that. The first minute of the show was intriguing enough to make me nods in approval. This is another show that I look forward to this summer just because the story promised something different.The academy is linked with demon, spirits and other dark stuff that it got the nick name of Occult Academy. On the day Maya returned to the academy, it was to attend his father's funeral and take the responsibility as the new principal of the academy. She wants to destroy the academy and has her own reason for that. At the end of the episode, she met with a naked guy who literally fell down from the sky (rather gracefully I might add) and so the adventure begins!Hehe just like the synopsis from chartfag says, this show is a combination of horror and comedy. The transition was done seamlessly and effortlessly making it so entertaining. For example, at one point Kozue was devoured by the evil spirit and in the next second she was chanting "megane megane" in a really retarded you-can't-help-but-laugh situation. Not to forget the flashback of Maya doing some scary stuff that I couldn't help but find funny and adorable at the same time. The dialog/script was pretty casual and honest too. It is definitely one of this show strongest point in my opinion. At one point Maya even used Porco Rosso as reference and I think that was awesome and totally honest. I would called someone Porco Rosso too if he/she fits the description XDI also particularly like the character designs. It is something fresh and the movements are all very fluid. Even though they all look normal but they have this certain quirks that makes them likable, This means that I like the arts and animation. You don't see these kinds of animation too often. I dunno. I'm just getting a really good vibe is all and may be biased because this is developed by A1-Pictures.The OP and ED will grow on you though have you seen the ED? Something different again. Like! As for the seiyuus, I am not familiar with any of them but they are really in their niches with this one. Kudos.I really do enjoy this one and just like Highschool of the Dead, I couldn't wait for the next episode. This is going to be the fourth series that I'm following this summer which mean this season is decent so far. And to be honest, I am enjoying this one more than the other anime at the moment.art & animation 10/10story 10/10characters 10/10sound 8/10enjoyment 10/10overall 10/10
