Ameku Takao no Suiri Karte

Nestled away on the rooftop of Tenikai General Hospital is the unconventional Department of Investigative Pathology headed by the eccentric Dr. Takao Ameku. The tiny department, consisting of Takao and her sole resident Yuu "Kotori" Takanashi, treats complex cases that most other departments within the hospital cannot resolve on their own.

The mystery-obsessed Takao always tries to insert herself into cases that capture her fancy—much to the dismay of her colleagues and the police. Even if her meddling creates more problems for the hospital and those around her, none can deny the brilliance that the young department head exhibits as she weaves a diagnosis together. No matter the specialty, no case is impossible for Takao and a somewhat reluctant Takanashi to solve.

What if Dr. House and Sherlock Holmes had a love child, and that child grew up diagnosing rare diseases in Japan while simultaneously uncovering criminals?
Welcome to the over-the-top, doctor-by-day, detective-by-night world of Ameku Takao no Surui Karute, where medical drama meets Scooby-Doo.

The show absolutely delivers what it promises: wild, unpronounceable diseases diagnosed on gut instinct by a small, yappy doctor with a slight god complex — and diagnostic methods that range somewhere between actual medicine and anime-tier clairvoyance. Half the time you’re not sure if you’re watching a hospital drama or a supernatural mystery.
Ameku Takao and her team almost always manage to uncover some hidden ... clue and solve each case in ways you’d never think possible.
I now fear sneezing in public — Ameku might diagnose me with a rare Amazonian fungus and find out I jaywalked in 2009.

Will it blow you away with some insane story or long-developing character arcs? No.
Is it some emotionally draining drama? Also no (minus maybe two episodes that kind of were).
But is it supposed to be either of those things? No — and that’s a good thing.

Ameku M.D. is 12 episodes of fun, fast-paced, and surprisingly watchable entertainment that blends the best of both medical and detective worlds.
Final diagnosis: 8/10. If you need something light, bingeable, and funny, this is the place to go.

Mixed Feelings

I think this anime was solid and was an interesting mystery anime. I would have given 8 if they didn't mess up their animation that terribly. This is a mystery anime and doesn't require high-quality animation but they have to put some effort into drawing. The character looked like some amateur artist drew. The animation was so bad I had a hard time focusing on the actual story and mystery. This anime was cool by mixing medical science and murder mystery and I would recommend it for people who like mystery. But this poor-quality animation gets to a point where you can't focus. If you ... are capable of not getting distracted by the poor animation, I think it is a decent anime to watch.

As much as I wanted to like the premise it just failed to deliver what I believe it was going for, usually you would get a few hints here and there and figure out what might have happened, which is the fun part of medical dramas, but it just failed to keep a hold on that concept, you would get the mystery part, then Ameku has a Jimmy Neutron brain blast moment and she explaining everything by getting the gang together like it's some face reveal from Scooby Doo. To be fair it had it's moments like the museum dinosaur episode and..... the.... human combustion ... episode "insert Fire Force intro here", but outside of that since I don't know about any other anime that's in this genre it was cute.

Ameku was good, other than her having to look like a child and acting like one adding the part where her sister treats her like one it was just unnecessary to me, they could have just made her a bit taller and go leave out the looking like a child part... but I don't get it, why even make that choice, cute = views I guess, other than that side characters were just there to play their role in the short stories and that's about it, touching on the side-kick Yu Takanashi, he was ok, didn't add much to anything, but he was present I guess. The detective guy was cool though.

The way they tried to implement superstitions and unexplained phenomenon were interesting, that direction would have made the show more watchable. Overall it's ok, nothing special, a cute watch, but if you're expecting something deep then it just doesn't satisfy the craving you would get from watching alternatives like House or The Good Doctor.
