    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 game adaptation:

    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 from 5pb. 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.​
