Story: 4/10
The one major compliment I will give this anime is that it is rather unique and does try to do something different. Chances are you won't see many anime's quite like this one. This is made most obvious in the story and in the art. The story follows Dr Ichiro as he treats 11 patients. 1 patient an episode. They each have some different disorder and he somewhat helps them to fix their problems.
The main problem I had with the overall story is that the pacing felt a bit.. off. And some character arcs were way better than others. For one of the arcs I felt that the problem was just randomly solved and I actually had to rewind and see what happened again just to try and put together the "treatment" that cured the patient.
These episodes don't really build over eachother, but its nice that it gives off that fibe that everything is happening in a living breathing world. Many of the patients have connections to other patients in one way or another and its nice to see that someone you got a glimpse of in one episode becomes a patient in another episode and we get to learn their backstory.
However, the story in general is pretty boring and dull at parts. The very first episode was hard to get into because it just jumps straight into the episodic formula with you just going "Wtf is this" the entire time. There were certainly parts I liked, but this took a long time to finish for an 11 episode series. This was due in part to the boring nature of the cases, the fact that half of them were OCD, and the rather quick endings to the episodes that don't really make you feel like the patient is fully cured. I know this isn't supposed to be the most series anime, but I cannot just brush off the problems because this is so unique and whatnot. Also this is labeled as a comedy, and while I found certain parts amusing don't watch this anime in hopes that you will be laughing. At most, I slightly smiled at a few silly scenes.
Art and Sound: 7/10
The art in this anime, like mentioned before, is certainly unique. And I don't mean that in a particularly good way. It takes some getting used to and I admit I did enjoy certain parts of it. The colorful environment was nice but the character designs left much to be desired. The sounds were nice. The opening and ending songs were okay. Nothing special there. Characters sound good. My favorite sound bit was probably the song while the nurse was doing the injections- it really fit the mood perfectly. I give this area of the anime a 7/10 because while I enjoyed parts of the animation and the sound, I will not give it a 10/10 just for being different. I didn't like it that much and I'm sure other people will be put off by the animation as well.
Character: 4/10
The characters in this anime really vary in terms of quality. There are maybe 3 patients that I actually enjoyed and my favorite character overall was the nurse. The doctor can be amusing and is obviously the character that tries to be funny- but sometimes he just comes off as annoying and I didn't care for him too much. As I try to write some more about the characters in this anime- I realize that most of them I already forgot due to just being mediocre. Nothing special in terms of characters in this anime. Though there is one family in the anime that was interesting to watch since members of that family got more than one episode. 4/10 for me for just being meh.
Enjoyment: 5/10
I came close to dropping this anime twice. I am grateful that I continued because some of the later episodes are the ones I liked better- but this should say something about the overall enjoyment I had with it. While unique, I found it had very little going for it. I'm sure many people will like this anime. But for me I just couldn't get into it. Perhaps if I was more interested in medical drama's then I would appreciate it more. But overall I was disappointed. I found this anime when I saw someone who was really into anime give it a 10/10. it was the only anime they gave a 10/10, I read the anime description, and thought I might like it. I was wrong.
Overall: 5.5/10 (which rounds down to a 5 since my exact average for the scores above is a 5.4)
From reading the reviews for this show I can tell that there will be a decent amount of people that like this show. For me, however, I found it to be unique yet boring and mediocre. Props to this show for trying something different, but I just couldn't get into it no matter how much I tried to like it. The best way to determine for yourself if you will like it is by watching the first episode. I would recommend trying this anime if you're looking for something super unique, but I can not give it an official recommendation to go watch it because I don't believe that this is for everyone. It certainly isn't for me.
