Fumiaki Uchida

Occult Academy (世紀末オカルト学院, Seikimatsu Okaruto Gakuin?) is a Japanese anime television series produced by A-1 Pictures and Aniplex and directed by Tomohiko Ito. The 13-episode anime premiered in Japan on the TV Tokyo television network on July 6, 2010. Occult Academy is the third project of Anime no Chikara. It is being simulcasted by Crunchyroll an hour after the Japanese broadcast.

The story revolves around Maya, the daughter of the former Headmaster of a private Japanese academy dedicated to the study of the occult who died in 1999, and time traveling agent Fumiaki Uchida, a mysterious young man who travels back in time from 2012. Maya returns to the Academy for her father's funeral and to destroy the Academy, as she hates everything occult. Occult Academy is apparently situated in Nagano, as the Matsushiro Underground Imperial Headquarters are shown to be nearby.

Anime News Network's Zac Bertschy sees that the "animation and character designs are gorgeous, with some really nice background work" and "an incredibly strong start to a show with huge promise." Theron Martin says that the series "is one of the best-looking series of the new season (maybe the best), including some beautiful background art, nice animation courtesy of A-1 Pictures, and character designs that certainly won't bore". Carl Kimlinger finds that the series "is, if not the best, certainly the most entertaining of the series to emerge from Aniplex's Anime no Chikara project" and "is more Sam Raimi than Tite Kubo". Hope Chapman comments that "it's still incredibly entertaining in a pure, enchanting way, a little reminiscent of the most humorous bits in Mamoru Hosoda's films".

The series' opening theme is the song "Flying Humanoid" (フライングヒューマノイド, Furaingu Hyūmanoido?) sung by Shoko Nakagawa, and its ending theme is "Kimi ga Iru Basho" (君がいる場所?, "Where You Are") sung by Ayahi Takagaki.
