Normally, I'm not a fan of starting brand new animes, especially those that are really modern. I'm all for the the old school
Cowboy Bebop or
Ghost in the Shell classics for fear of wasting my time with another
Naruto. However, the manga god spoke to me, and as if by divine intervention, I felt drawn to start watching
Occult Academy. After watching the first episode, I was transfixed. I fell in love with the ominous yet weird aura it evoked and the use of the things I love. This anime had everything, creepy mythological creatures, zombies, time travelers, and of course, your main tsundere girl. Maya Kumashiro has made it to my list of favorite female characters, which is quite a notable feat in my eyes, considering the fact that I'm a misogynist.

The male lead, is Fumiaki Uchida, or known as Bunmei, a time traveler who is klutzy, cocky, irresponsible, and is completely idiotically cute. The animation is beautiful and just mind blowing,just like the plot. Carefully mastered and tying all pieces together,
Occult Academy is a complete success in my arrogant opinion. It touches on so many topics and issues of humanity; deception, lust over love, importance of family, and of course, good vs evil. It's such a good show... that I don't want to belabor you with a mere plot summary. (I'm not being lazy...) Watch it yourself, and believe in the occult.
