Steins;Gate Creator's Paranormal Science Novels Occultic;Nine Get TV Anime ~ Newz Game Update

Yuuki Kaji, Ayane Sakura, Kaito Ishikawa star in story with art by Rental Magica's pako

A television anime adaptation of Occultic;Nine, the first light novel series by MAGES. head Chiyomaru Shikura(Steins;Gate), has been green-lit for this year.

The "paranormal science" story follows nine idiosyncratic individuals, linked by the "Chōjō Kagaku Kirikiri Basara" occult summary blog run by 17-year-old second-year high school student Yūta Gamon. Little incongruities that occur around these nine eventually lead to a larger, unimaginable event that may alter what is considered common sense in this world.

The Tokyo MX and BS11 channels ran a commercial that announced the anime, and the anime's official website is also streaming a promotional video:

The anime's voice cast members are reprising their respective roles from the previously announced gameadaptation:

Yuuki Kaji as Yūta Gamon, a high school boy who runs an occult blog and a self-proclaimed savior

Ayane Sakura as Ryoka Narusawa, a spirit guide

Kaito Ishikawa as Sarai Hashigami, a denialist, ultra-realist first-year university student

Hitomi Yoshida as Miyū Aikawa, a moe fortune teller and first-year high school student

Shizuka Itou as Tōko Sumikaze, a reporter for the occult magazine Mumū (a nod to the real magazine Mū), with a life outside occult interests

Miyuki Sawashiro as Aria Kurenaino, a black magic proxy

Kishô Taniyama as Kiryū Kusakabe, a mysterious man

The novel series' original illustrator pako drew a teaser visual:

Shikura began the novel series with illustrations by pako (Rental Magica, Un-Go) in August 2014, and the Overlap Bunko imprint published the second volume in May 2015.

While Shikura created Occultic;Nine, he emphasized in 2012 that it is not the fourth science-adventure title from5pb. He did note that the novel can be considered the fourth Chiyomaru Shikura title after Chaos;HEAd,Steins;Gate, and Robotics;Notes. (Shikura eventually announced the fourth science-adventure title,CHAOS;CHILD, in 2013.)

The novel series already inspired a game adaptation and a manga series that Ganjii (Code Geass: Tales of an Alternate Shogunate) is serializing in Kodansha's good! Afternoon magazine.
