After being released as a Premium Edition earlier in the year, Occult Academy seems to have sold well enough to warrant a quick standard edition release. Published by Nippon Ichi Software America, this standard edition lacks the hardcover artbox and artbook, but comes with the entire series on Blu-ray at a MSRP of $54.99.
About the show
In the year 2012, the world is a wasteland invaded by aliens. Time travelers like Fumiaki Uchida are sent back to the year 1999 in order to destroy the “Nostradamus Key” to prevent the apocalypse. In 1999, Maya Kumashiro, the daughter of the former principal of Waldstein Academy (AKA Occult Academy), returns to the academy to replace her father.
Despising her father’s obsession with the occult, Maya is hell-bent on running the school into the ground out of spite. Her plan is interrupted when she meets Fumiaki and learns of the forthcoming destruction of the world. They form a pact to look for the key.
