Occult Academy

Occult Academy is another one of NIS America's 13 episode anime offerings that somehow manages to succeed on art and character design, but stumbles a bit on plot development and story. The creators seem to have taken a page from real world pop culture with aliens invading the world in 2012, and "the Nostrodamus prophecies." The characters tasked with stopping the world's destruction are a pretty colorful bunch, each with their own quirks and backstory. If given another 13 episodes, OA might've had more time to flesh out an already interesting story, which when the series stuck to it, proved that it could be a pretty entertaining show. It's worth a pickup if you have the funds, or genuinely love NIS America product. Originally released September 3rd, 2012
