trope renamed to emphasize meaning of boobs as comedy


* GagBoobs: Ryoka's are huge to a ridiculous extent.
** While it's not ''quite'' as prominent as Ryouka's, Ririka's bust is something the anime enjoys focusing on as well.

''Occultic;Nine'' (オカルティック・ナイン Okarutikku Nain) is a Japanese light novel series written by Chiyomaru Shikura, the creator of ''VisualNovel/SteinsGate'', with illustrations by pako. The series is licensed in English by J-Novel Club. A manga, illustrated by Ganjii, began serialization in October 2015. An anime television series adaptation by Creator/A1Pictures aired in the Fall 2016 season for 12 episodes, beginning on 9 October. A visual novel adaptation for the [[UsefulNotes/PlayStation4 PS4]], [[UsefulNotes/PlayStationVita Vita]] and UsefulNotes/XboxONE was released in Japan on November 9, 2017. A UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch version is in the works.

The story follows nine idiosyncratic individuals, linked by the "Choujou Kagaku Kirikiri Basara" occult summary blog run by 17-year-old second-year high school student Yuuta 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.

Despite the semicolon in the title and being from the same creators, the series is not part of the VisualNovel/ScienceAdventureSeries ([=SciADV=]) but is instead part of its own universe (titled the ''Science Visual Novels'' Series) with upcoming visual novel Anonymous;Code. The [=SciADV=] Series do however exist as their fictional game versions in this universe. [[FlipFlopOfGod Well at least until Shikura suddenly went back on that claim]].

The anime is licensed in America by Creator/AniplexUSA and in Australia by Creator/MadmanEntertainment. Aniplex are releasing the series with an English dub by Creator/BangZoomEntertainment in 2 Blu-ray sets, with [[https://twitter.com/aniplexUSA/status/866028257971507200 Volume 1 releasing on September 26th and Volume 2 on December 26, 2017]].

!!''Occultic;Nine'' contains examples of:
* ArtifactTitle: The title may lose its meaning once Asuna Kisaki enters the picture. [[spoiler:This is later shown to instead be related to the time dilation the cast experiences caused by their existence as deceased souls.]]
* CirclingMonologue: Taken up to eleven in Episode 6 during a conversation between Shun and Aria, which the ''camera itself'' rotates as the two speak.
* DesignStudentsOrgasm: The opening for the anime, with its flat colors, many textures, and use of a singular color accompanying black and white unshaded images.
* TheDogWasTheMastermind: [[spoiler:The flamboyant bartender has been the leader of the Society of Eight Gods of Fortune, and the one behind [[YouKilledMyFather the murders of Yuta's and Sarai's fathers]].]]
* FBIAgent: Asuna Kisaki is one and she is also a high school student.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Plenty to the fact that [[spoiler:most of the main cast are dead. In particular, they have no shadows.]]
* FreezeFrameBonus: The fast moving montage in Episode 1 briefly features a shot [[spoiler:of the dead bodies of the main cast.]]
* GagBoobs: Ryoka's are huge to a ridiculous extent.
** While it's not ''quite'' as prominent as Ryouka's, Ririka's bust is something the anime enjoys focusing on as well.
* MarshmallowHell: Yuta gets this (not surprisingly) from Ryoka in episode 8.
* MotorMouth: Yuta speaks like this when he's excited. Some members of the NebulousEvilOrganisation also talk like this, such as Takasu and the Emperor.
** Also worth noting that all the characters in fact speak faster than normal because the pacing of the series ''itself'' is faster than normal, all thanks to being rather [[CompressedAdaptation compressed]].
** Kind of hilarious and unfortunate, considering only two out of three published light novels existed at the anime's creation point. The third didn't arrive until the year after the anime finished airing.
* NebulousEvilOrganisation [=/=] TheOmniscientCouncilOfVagueness: The Society of Eight Gods of Fortune seems to be this.
* ShoutOut: The classic ''VisualNovel/SteinsGate'' phrase "El Psy Kongroo" is uttered by Moritsuka in Episode 7.
** Also the "I failed, I failed, I failed... " from Suzuha's note.
** Moritsuka's online handle is ''Doumo, Zenigata desu.'' (どうも、銭形です。), meaning, "Hello, I'm Zenigata," in reference to Lupin's rival in ''Franchise/LupinIII''. People even think his clothes are cosplay for the character, but he insists that's how he normally dresses.
* TheStinger: Several episodes end with this.
* TitleDrop: Done by Yuta in the final episode.
* VillainousBreakdown: The albino kid completely breaks and goes full-on AxCrazy mode after Asuna manages to shoot and wound him in the arm.
* WhamEpisode: Episode 6 [[spoiler: reveals that most of the main cast were DeadAllAlong but were completely unaware of it.]]
* WhamShot: TheStinger for Episode 10 shows [[spoiler: Ririka is missing from the morgue.]]
