Plot Summary: The Waldstein Academy is an institute devoted to studies on paranormal disciplines, thus becoming known as the Occult Academy. Maya Kumashiro returns to this place to attend the funeral of the former principal, Junichiro Kumashiro, her father. Maya, a skeptic who hates the occult, meets Fumiaki Uchida, a time agent from the future sent to 1999 to prevent the apocalyptic Nostradamus Prophecies from happening. The predictions state that the school will be ground zero of the cataclysm that will destroy the world. They must team up to discover not only what actually led to her father’s demise, they have limited time to find out what is the key that triggers the beginning of the end.[/quote]
Yeah, I will have to check this out. Unfortunately, CR just wasn’t worth subscribing to anymore for me, so I will have to wait an extra week for each episode.
It’s actually not too bad of a start.
Though I can’t say I’m actually hooked on it, nor can I say I actually really like it, but it does have this unique quality to it, that makes me want to see more of it just to see where they go with the story, even without fully liking it.
It did have some humorous moments though, so it might actually turn out well, if they continue down that path with it.
Saw the first episode and thought it was funny as hell.
spoiler
The dead dean accidentally raises his own body with a tape recording of a spell. His own daughter throwing him back in the casket. She then gives a rant about it being faked with him jumping up again at the end. Loved the look on her face at the end as the naked guy descends from the sky. :laugh:
That was rather funny.
I wasn’t sure with the first episode, but after this episode I’m definitely going to be finishing this one.
Seems like it’ll be really fun and the concept is rather interesting as well.
Maya being chased by a naked Fumiaki was funny. She sure gave him hell later. The premise is interesting. I think Fumiaki will be looking forward to the alien invasion before the end to put a stop to Maya torture. :laugh:
I just watched episode 1. It wasn’t a bad episode, but not exactly a strong start either. It felt to me like it kept trying to be funny but couldn’t quite get there. I still liked it overall though. I will check out episode 2 soon as well.
