Occult Academy : Supernatural Galore!

If you are a supernatural and horror anime fan, OCCULT ACADEMY (a.k.a Seikimatsu Occult Gakuin) is the one for you. This anime series has it all. Ass-kicking female lead who can run in heels and fight in a mini, supernatural mumbo jumbo and hocus pocus, over-the-top highschool, and most importantly a naked guy who makes his appearance in the very first episode…. Heck, I am so going to stick to this anime like a glue!

This anime sets in 1999 and it opens with scene of a man running frantically in a wood, trying to teleport in order to save himself from being devoured by a winged beast. However, his effort was in futile when the beast managed to swoop the man and slaughter him before the teleportation finished. Apparently, the man was from the future, year 2012, and he was on mission. Nevertheless, the mission went awry and it had sacrificed 5 out of 6 operators.

Now, back to the original plot. Enters Kumashiro Maya who is the female lead of this anime. She was the daughter of the newly-deceased founder a.k.a principal of Waldstein Academy a.k.a Occult Academy Kumashiro Junichiro who was deceased of heart attack. Obviously, she was running late for her estranged father's funeral.

Everything looked normal initially, but one thing led to another, all hell breaks loose. The school suddenly was under attack by a supernatural evil being called Lamie. The deceased principal was possessed by Lamie and it terrorized the entire school. Have no fear, Maya is here… Maya whacked, kicked and hacked (with others' help, of course) and finally the evil spirit was vanquished.

Finally after everything was resolved, suddenly there was a strange bright light in the sky and a light beacon descends and...

TADAAAA!….. A naked man appeared! Looked familiar? Well, it is too familiar to be ignored!

Hey, naked man! Takizawa-san wants to have a word with you about stealing his thunder!

(This is just a fan-service... LOL)

My two-cents: This anime is a 2010 must-watch series. And from where I am standing, 2010 is a year for gore and supernatural animes. Occult Academy is funny, fast-paced, and action-packed. This one is sure a keeper.... for now.
