TEH HORROR~! IT IS SO [ FABULOUSLY ] HILARIOUS~!

anything with the word 'occult' embedded into their title will definitely warrant some level of attention from me, since i was once an occult freak, and i still think that i am, as of now :E but anyway... seriously peeps, seikimatsu occult gakuin hands down is one of the strongest yet most overlooked title for summer, despite being produced by the same studio that gave us some big shot titles like kannagi and working !! among many, and thus for you to miss this one out just because it didn't get that much of attention will surely score a great deal of loss on your part :3

anyway, have i already mentioned that the series were so [ fabulously ] hilarious ? well it surely is, and as far as the series has progressed itself at this current point of time [ episode 04 ], seikimatsu occult gakuin has yet to fail in cracking me up to several fits of inelegant great laughter, proof that it is among those series that should be given the utmost attention to while it is still fresh / here to stay. also, the series is made of a fresh-tastic plot / theme that successfully blends together occultism / horror with comedy, while not forgetting its remarkable [ yet hilariously ] uncanny cast of characters, most especially those of the recurring ones like the overly pathetic time agent fumiaki, the guy with the huge spanner and that huge, queer-looking guy with the deep crimson hair.

not to mention, i greatly find maya's character to be overly charming [ +uber-sexy ], in a unique way [ +1 for yoko hikasa as she did her job great with her assigned character ]. well, to label her as a tsundere may seem a little bit incorrect - i guess, maybe... but there are times when she did acted herself that way - especially when it comes to occult-centric topics being mentioned right before her. other than that, she had the classic 'that hurt' punch, and this has added in more love points into her character from my perspective - as i have mentioned long before, i certainly do fancy fictional girls with killer punches, especially one such as maya :3



the character design were indeed good, and the overall visual execution is great as expected of a-1 pictures... but so does the direction as well as the director surely knows how to get the jokes done best within their respective mood / situation without compromising much of the mystery / [ mildly ] darker side of the story.
