Synopsis

The story revolves around Maya, the daughter of the former Headmaster of Waldstein Academy, and a time traveling agent Fumiaki Uchida. In the year 2012, the world had been invaded by aliens and time travelers were sent back to the year 1999 in order to find and destroy the Nostradamus Key, which Nostradamus Prophecy foretold as what would bring about the apocalypse. The series then turns to the year 1999, where Maya returns to the Academy with the intention of destroying the Academy by superseding her late father's position as the principal. Her plan was interrupted when she meets Fumiaki and learns of the forthcoming destruction. Despite being distrusting towards Fumiaki, they form a pact to look for the Nostradamus Key. In order to find the Nostradamus Key, time agents were provided with specially created cell phones. When a user finds an object of interest, by thinking of destroying it and taking a photo, and if the resulting image is that of a peaceful world, then the subject is the Nostradamus Key. Conversely, if the subject is not the Nostradamus Key, then the photo displays destruction. By using the phone, Maya and Fumiaki investigates occult occurrences as they occur in the town.

The first half of the episode is pretty good. I like how Fumiaki finally finds closure with his mother, and the final twist is a nice surprise. Unfortunately, the second half doesn't make much sense and ends rather abruptly. It feels like the series was rushing to wrap everything up. Overall, though, I enjoyed this anime. I just think it would have benefited a lot from being a two-cour series, giving the story more time to develop its characters and conclude its plot in a more satisfying way.

This episode feels like the beginning of the final arc, and I really enjoyed it. It throws several twists at the audience, and they come so quickly that it can be hard to keep up at times. Still, the fast pace makes the story feel exciting and raises the stakes for what's to come. As for Fumiaki, I honestly thought he had grown, but it seems he still has a long way to go. It's a bit frustrating, hope this final arc will finally give him the development he needs. I like the date scene
