Preliminary (5/12 eps)
The beginning starts out realistic, where a Dr. Aoi gets isekai'd. BUT This isn't your usual terrible isekai. It is so much better.
As the story progresses, Gekai Elise becomes a heartfelt and authentic journey of a young lady proving to people that she can become a surgeon. Despite her previous life flaws, Elise demonstrates with her knowledge and skills that she is a better person and puts her doctor skills to help people in need.
What makes Gekai Elise unique is there is real healthcare knowledge used in the anime, and there is great progression and character development between Elise and the characters around ...

Gekai Elise is a Medical Romance anime that is has Double Reincarnation + Time Loop.
We have our main character Elise who was reincarnated in modern world after being executed in her first life. We learn that she was definitely not a gift. She did have very bad attitude and was obsessed with idea marriage with the Prince. In this life she had a loving family and easy life but after reincarnation her life was not easy. In this life she became a very famous doctor but sadly she died again (Luck is not on her side as we can see) after this she is Reincarnated ...

I will be honest, this was a disappointment.

I read the story (multiple times) and I was looking forward to see it happening in an anime, but they butchered the story and the characters a lot resulting in an incoherent and messy story that could've been soo much better.

If I had to describe how this anime feels, then I would see it feels like watching a Hollywood adaptation of a beloved anime.

Look, the new story isn't bad. It's passable.
But is that what you want from an anime?

I do recommend this anime simply because it's pretty unique, but I recommend reading the story more.

I began this isekai anime with high hopes, and it was enjoyable but didn't execute the premise as well as it could have. Elise is an interesting character and starts making her way into the medical field in the past. It excited me to think of what was to come. However, the medical part of the story isn't well developed, the characters feel a bit bland, and there are no interesting challenges for her.

Elise is instantly good at everything medically, which makes sense, but only to an extent. It would have been more entertaining for Elise to have to adjust to the less modern medical ...

Gekai Elise is one of the more original isekai, or should I say, “reverse isekai”, in recent years. What makes this one cool is that Elise is given another shot at life in her original world AFTER being isekai’d to Earth. This allows her the unique experience of combining both her original life’s knowledge and the medicinal skills she gained on Earth making for a really fun watch.

Now, there’s going to be some party poopers who say the show isn’t accurate or realistic in its portrayal of some medical stuff and to that I’ll agree, but it’s ultimately anime not grey’s anatomy. I’m not watching ...

This anime is tolerable if you turn your brain off. It has a severe misunderstanding of what the medical world is like, and paints an overly simplistic view.

Our MC can do every type of general and specialized surgery. She also goes around telling people she will save them with absolute certainty, never mind the risks of surgical procedures (or the nuances of treatment outcomes not being effective). All of her surgeries are 100% effective, and we are even told at various points in the first episode that all of her surgeries are successful and cure the patient.

Elise is driven, optimistic, and hard-working so ...

If you are looking for a medical show, this is not it. If you are looking for a period drama/romance, this is not it. If you are looking for a villainess/reincarnation story, this is not it either. This show squanders its many ingredients and shows no signs of life throughout.

There are not many medical anime shows out there (to my knowledge), so I was really excited for this one. Unfortunately, the medical aspect is seriously lacking. I am not a medical professional so I cannot comment on realism, but I can say that the medical problems and solutions feel very simplistic. Elise makes some observations, ...

A strong must watch! No matter your gender, age, it is a gem that's rare to come by. I am truly biased by having read the manhwa and loved it so much, however that would only make me all the more frustrated if I saw that the anime adaptation wasn't on par with it.

It isn't her second life, it's her third, Elise is given a second chance at her first life after redeeming herself during her second. In her first life she had everything to be happy and made everyone miserable, the empire became a living hell. In her second life she had nothing, ...

Everything is fine, but the writing is crazy bad

There is a scene where a fire started inside a theater and our main character, Elise (of a very high ranking family, second only to the imperial family), tells some nobles not to breathe the obviously toxic smoke.
Well... the show, out of thin air, pulls a nobles vs commoner girl cliché, and they start ranting about how they are nobles and superior and she is no one to tell them what to do, all this while breathing the smoke and coughing.

It was so absurd that had me laughing, however, the other times this happens are not so ...

As someone who's read the manhwa for Doctor Elise, I can confirm that the manhwa is extremely good. Definitely not your average isekai. Its actually quite educational and informative. Theres lots of character development and growth that progressively happens over the manhwa.

Doctor Elise is definitely one of the more unique isekais, utilizing real medical knowledge and integrating that into the story. Give this a watch if you're into more educational shows while still maintaining a good level of fictional attributes. The characters are pretty great. Elise is such a girlboss and she only gets even better as the story progresses.

Personally, I think the anime ...

I've seen many isekai and reincarnation stories over the years. The more recent ones have developed somewhat of a bad habit of excessive power fantasy and heavy wish fulfillment. It's a guilty pleasure to be sure. But every so often we get a story that offers a bit more.
Gekai Elise is an anime adaptation of Doctor Elise: The Royal Lady with the Lamp, a Korean web novel that was later given a webtoons adaptation in 2017. My first impressions of the anime were strong enough that I decided to pick up the webtoon and read ahead. I read a lot more than watch anime, so ...

Deeply disappointed I liked the first few episodes then it hit me how medically all over this setting is. It’s supposed to be a medevil society but it has the medical tech of 19th century while have medical tools of 20th century. It would have been so much more interesting if the author knew anything about medical science besides what they googled. Have a person with 21st century medical science have to deal with not having the tools she needs to do anything, calling her a genius while not have to adapt at all is so terrible.

When watching this I just wanted to pull ...

It's a time killer.
They attempted to cram transmigration, villainess redemption, doctor house, women empowerment, mary sue "wow that girl is amazing and can do everything!", unachievable love, political intrigue and reverse harem into 12 episodes, with predictable results.
It's not a bad story, but due to time constraints it's all very shallow and smudgy.

The general plot fails to interest me, with it being "MC makes a wager with king-sama so that she can escape the fate of marrying the bishounen, kind prince and become and empress; only that way she can be a doctor and save a lot of people". Watch out, bitch, how i'll smack ...

they changed so many good scene from the webtoon,the character aare so flat, elise is not like this, they change her character too much, the only thing that stayed is a "bad writting" the ml is suposed to be more serious(why the cleaning scene exist?!), they ruined it with a bad writting, it's one of my fav but the anime is really not good. I recommend to read it instead. itt go too face, the pacing is strange, so many important moment are innexistant and they focus to much on the realtion instead of the actual action.
the idea is really good, but they tried to ...

Doctor Elise isn’t just an isekai—it’s a reverse/double isekai where a spoiled girl from the past is reborn in the modern world, becomes a doctor, and then returns to her old life with all her memories intact.

Aoi Takamoto is a skilled doctor with a reputation for being one of the world’s best surgeons. Maybe it’s my bias as someone who also wants to go into medicine, but I instantly loved her character. She’s poised, professional, and kind both to her patients and her colleagues, important traits in health care that tend to get overlooked in favor of drama. But instead, Aoi embodies the ideal doctor, ...

As a fresh take on the villainess reincarnation trope, Doctor Elise started out promising. The medical drama aspect is fairly unique for anime, presenting a variety of detailed and somewhat intense medical procedures. The romance is engaging too, with plenty of time spent on the leads growing together naturally.

However, the confused time period of the setting really threw things off. Despite the rest of the setting being vaguely pre-industrial, the medical knowledge and technology is more advanced for some reason, kind of all over the place but usually something like 20th century. A show about an alternate medical history to our own would be fascinating, ...

As a doctor, I really enjoyed this.
I finished it in one night. I enjoyed both political part and medical part. I'm surprised the doctor part was pretty good except the emergency scene at the airplane. Apart from that is pretty much realistic especially the outpatient service - the questions she ask the patient to approach to the disease are real and do investigations for diseases that needs to do, not like some other medical-related fiction that only mention the difficulty of surgery and it's almost always super rare disease or tricky cases - -. I love that this story is not cliche and not ...

Below average adaptation of the manwha

Almost all criticism and complaints I see for this anime would have been or are resolved in the Manwha adaptation.

Things to note

Pacing
The pacing is very odd and often feels like no progress is being made or suddenly all the intense scenes happens with little to no build up. They definitely cut and rush many parts from the manwha and added some irrelevant things... Such as the festival day? And the whole of episode 1 being based in modern day. Also there has been removal of characters most likely to not go into the bigger storyline that existed in the manwha

Medical ...

Have you ever had that feeling when a series is too fast and too slow at the same time, when it somehow feels completely off the pace? I had exactly that feeling with "Doctor Elise: The Royal Lady with the Lamp".

Apart from the fact that I don't know where the lamp is supposed to be in the series, the anime is about a noblewoman who was executed at the stake by her husband. However, she wakes up in our world and wants to make up for her past mistakes and becomes a doctor who is considered an absolute genius. She is so talented that she ...

I read the manhwa of Doctor Alice a long time ago. The anime starts with Dr. Aoi Takamoto getting isekai'd to her first life, where she led to deaths of her family members and herself. She decides to use her medical and past knowledge to save lives.

The downside is it's unrealistic as Elise can do every type of surgery and never fails. The characters are likeable but similar to many other isekai anime. The art and opening is fine.

Doctor Elise is a good inspiration for young female viewers who want to be a surgeon. It's good for a quick watch but it might ...
