Chuuzenji-sensei Mononoke Kougiroku: Sensei ga Nazo o Toite Shimau kara

Attachment 2164

"Tokyo in 1948 isn’t the most pleasant of places to be. With postwar reconstruction at work and the Cold War in full swing, no one is certain what the next day will bring, particularly newly minted high school sophomore Kusakabe Kanna (Maeda Kaori). Always surrounded by strange supernatural phenomena, Kanna has chalked up her unique circumstances to her lot in life, yet gets a reprieve following a chance encounter with the new language teacher Chuuzenji Akihiko (Konishi Katsuyuki). Besides being a well-read and well-learned academic, Akihiko also has an innate curiosity and Kanna’s situation happens to pique that side of his mind. Can an unlikely duo of teacher and student piece together the many mysteries of supernatural events? One way or the other they’re about to find out.

On the positive side, this is a period piece if you enjoy a look into late 1940's high school, and the sensei has some good troll-face, but everything else feels too pedestrian, like it is instead caught in the early 00's, storytelling wise. The mysteries thus far have been underwhelming in their gimmicks and tricks, serving more to give bored high school students something to gossip about and reinforce main girl's new found notoriety. Side characters have been a mixed bag yet none have elevated this to something I'd sit down to watch regularly. Not recommended.
