Normally, these two dimensions would never intersect, but having possessed all material substances, the demons are now intruding on the human world.
Fortunately, among the human race there are those who have the ability to exorcise such demons – the Exorcists. Among these humans is Rin Okumura, an energetic, young man who has been raised by Shiro Fujimoto, an eminent priest, with Rin’s twin brother, Yukio. One day, he discovers the shocking truth that his biological father is in fact the most powerful demon of them all – Satan. As the border between “Assiah” and “Gehenna” is threatened by intruding demons, Rin vows to become the ultimate exorcist and defeat his own father and hone his skills as an exorcist at True Cross Academy with other exorcist candidates.

About WWW.WAGNARIA!!
Daisuke Higashida is an intelligent high school student who starts working part-time at a family
restaurant due to financial difficulties at home. Between a strong-willed shift manager who is hopeless
when it comes to cooking and the rest of the staff consisting of a peculiar girl with a sixth sense, a
wealthy heiress with a seemingly endless supply of money at her disposal, and a dimwitted manager in
charge of the hiring, it seems this restaurant doesn’t have a single normal person working there!

– Aniplex of America Inc. announced at their industry panel at Anime Central (Rosemont, Illinois) that they plan on releasing popular horror suspense anime series Occultic;Nine on Blu-ray this year. Fans of the series were thrilled to learn that the Blu-ray set will also feature an English dub for the first time ever. The set also includes a deluxe booklet, illustration pin-up cards, and special package design illustrated by Character Designer Tomoaki Takase (Saekano: How to Raise a Boring Girlfriend). Pre-orders begin on May 22nd with Volume 1 scheduled to be released on September 26th and Volume 2 on December 26th.
Based on the light novel series written by Chiyomaru Shikura (creator of Steins;Gate), Occultic;Nine is
animated by renowned studio A-1 Pictures (Sword Art Online, Blue Exorcist, Persona franchise, Magi
franchise) and directed by Kyohei Ishiguro (Your lie in April). In addition, the OST is composed by
Masaru Yokoyama (Your lie in April, WWW.WAGNARIA!!).
The Japanese cast stars Yuki Kaji (Magi franchise, KIZNAIVER, DURARARA!!) as Yuta Gamon, an
otaku with a rather pretty face who dreams of quick cash and Ayane Sakura (Nisekoi, Charlotte, Your lie
in April) as Ryoka Narusawa, a pale and innocent girl who is very well endowed. The English dub
features an all-star cast including Erik Scott Kimerer (Asterisk War, Magi franchise), Robbie Daymond
(God Eater, Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works), Erica Lindbeck (ALDNOAH.ZERO, Your lie in
April), Cristina Vee (Magi franchise, Puella Magi Madoka Magica), Michelle Ruff (Sword Art Online,
Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works, DURARARA!!), and Max Mittelman (Your lie in April,
ALDNOAH.ZERO).
About Occultic;Nine:
Yuta Gamon is a second year student in high school. For a shot at quick money, he runs “Kiri Kiri Basara,”
an affiliate blog that rounds up occult forum posts. He challenges himself to the occult night and day to
“hack and slash away!” the many supernatural phenomena existing in the world from a scientific standpoint.
With that blog of his as a catalyst, a group of downright maniacal and insane comrades gather together. Their lives mysteriously intertwine, despite destiny’s original plans; and a multitude of small, miniscule “incidents” starts to happen around them. Over time, they become a giant swell and later develop into a case so large, it is beyond imagination…
