History Anime / OccultAcademy

* CatSmile: Kozue.

HilarityEnsues.

* [[spoiler:FirstGirlWins: To an extent; both Mikaze and Chihiro are dead by the end of the penultimate episode, and by then it's obvious Fumiaki and Maya have feelings for each other. They get ''this'' close to confessing before he dies- the final scene implies she eventually married his younger self.]]

->''[[CatchPhrase "I hate the occult!"]]''

* ArmorPiercingSlap: Ami delivers one to Maya in episode 7 after the latter insults the former's father when his UFO plan fails. He then gives Ami one and tells her to apologize to her friend, but she just runs away, which leads into the next episode.

* {{Gainaxing}}: Mikaze, very blatantly in episode 11.

* ReverseRelationshipReveal: Among the people Fumiaki interacts with, there's Chihiro, a suspicious character who spies on the heroine, Maya, and has an unwanted crush on Fumiaki. Then there's the sweet Mikaze, who is presented as the Betty to the Maya's Veronica. It turns out [[spoiler:Chihiro was GoodAllAlong and trying to protect Maya and the innocent Mikaze is actually a HornyDevil and the BigBad.]]

* ShesGotLegs: Maya has ''quite'' the pair of gams.

* AnimationBump: At least once per episode.

* RobeAndWizardHat: [[spoiler:Chihiro's white mage outfit complete with a SimpleStaff.]]

* UpgradeArtifact: [[spoiler:The spoon Fumiaki took from his younger self. Not only did it help him regain his lost psychic powers, but it took them UpToEleven.]]

* {{Meganekko}}: Kozue's glasses are part of her ''soul''. No, really.

* DangerouslyShortSkirt: Maya in her white dress.

* NotSoDifferent: Maya is a lot like Mikaze (that is, [[spoiler:if the latter weren't lying her ass off]]) once she lowers her defenses towards Fumiaki and starts being more friendly with him. She takes him window-shopping for a bunch of food and dotes him with uncharacteristic kindness. [[spoiler:Fumiaki even starts to suspect her of being the Nostradamus Key precisely because she's behaving like Mikaze, and much unlike herself to that point. What he doesn't know is that Maya is indeed being kind to him sincerely]].

** [[spoiler:Fumiaki proved to be a bit of a scrapper, too, once Mikaze showed her TrueColors.]]

* AdaptationalVillainy: An inversion. [[spoiler:Mikaze the black mage is not as villainous in the manga as she is in the anime, mainly because she didn't cause as much explicit damage in the former. The Mothmen she summoned did cause a number of missing person cases, but since the manga's tone is mainly comedic and no corpses are seen it's possible that Chihiro could've found survivors in the horde's nest offscreen; and the demon she summoned (to whom she sold her soul so it can destroy the world) only manages to cause property damage and inflict potentially nonlethal injuries on a few people before it's destroyed by a spell.]]

There exists a manga adaptation by Kei Toru that [[BroadStrokes loosely retells the main plot]], a set of four shorts bundled with the DVD/Blu-Ray release involving a young Maya and Ami taking care of a tsuchinoko, and a light novel spinoff written by the scriptwriters where each chapter focuses on a different character/set of characters among the main cast.
