| I think this would have worked better as a live action show. It has some interesting medical information, but it doesn't really appeal to me. And cutting a leg off with a fossilized dinosaur jaw is ludicrous. The teeth aren't that sharp, there's no force besides gravity behind the bite, and you can't replicate the ripping motion. |
| And here it begins with two episodes seeing that the first case took two episodes to resolve. It introduces Takao, who is a pathologist at the hospital and lives in a tiny house she built on the roof of the hospital, and she doubles as a detective involving murders. The first case involves the murder of Kumade, whose blood is blue and his left leg was amputated upon death. Turns out that the underground hospital director Hachisuka is the one responsible for turning his corpse that way as he broke into the museum looking for the chemical that turns his blood blue, and then used a T-Rex jaw to amputate his leg, and then disposed his corpse at a construction site in the rain. Pretty much, this does the job for those who are into mystery shows as it does a nice job appealing to the targeted audience. But for those who aren't, they won't find it worthwhile seeing that it's pretty much spent mostly on the detective aspect, and not doing much to set things up. |

@RMikami Yeah that it somehow took off the leg by dropping was quite a stretch. Maybe would crush.
| @marklebid if he did it between both top and bottom jaw, and not just the top jaw and a flat surface, it might make sense. It's actually more unrealistic that he was able to lift something heave enough to sever a leg. |
| Episodes 1 and 2: The Equation Dimension I almost started writing some BS about how some brilliant scientists and authors sometimes, in their academic reverie, experience a paraintellectual opening of their minds in which they have visions of equations flying everywhere as they come upon some revolutionary idea; I'd frame it as a kind of Watsonian observational account of some fictional professor I knew in grad school, make various comments about how such experiences manifest (e.g., types of equations usually seen in these visions, the ubiquity of chunks of binary numbers, various ways scientists train themselves to make them more susceptible to the proper mental state for them), and give the caveat that academics usually avoid discussing it so as not to be seen as insane or anti-scientific; then I'd note how Ameku M.D.: Doctor Detective has in its first two episodes correctly captured some of the details of this phenomenon, but—trying to claim that staring at C++ code while simultaneously chanting something having nothing to do with said code is based in a common mind-preparing technique to begin such visions was a bit too much of a stretch. Instead I'll just do it the usual way, make fun of the dumb detective story and the people who get duped by it:  I enjoy how quantum field theory always manages to take the prime spot in these equation dimension scenes: Here we've got a Lagrangian density (the big "L"—or, $\mathcal{L}$ for those in the know) of what looks like electromagnetism (hence the $F_{\mu\nu}$s), though only the field term, a bunch of $p^2-m^2+i\epsilon$ indicating the Feynman pole prescription for our propagators (as well as some $p^2+i\epsilon$s), and several terms with gamma matrices and metric tensors. I'm pretty sure I see the Einstein field equations too, though the $8\pi G/3$ I think I saw would indicate the Friedmann equations possibly. It's true that this picture has close-ups of the chemistry, but the majority of the mess is definitely physics. For this particular manifestation I like how there seems to be the one single reference to something actually relevant to the show, "Tyrannosaurus." Needless to say anybody actually seriously educated would find these scenes insulting and degrading to knowledge. Unless Loli House starts laying down some two-loop calculations in QCD all those equations had no business being there. Now to the code:  You can't see it here, but the "struct"s, references to pointers, brackets and indentation, and such make me want to say this is probably C++ (I don't know every programming language though so it could be something else). I can't tell in particular what she's coding, and I don't recognize the window on the left monitor (though it confuses me that the rightmost part of the window looks crooked), but I do enjoy that there clearly seems to be a cursor when the screen is reflected in her eye, and that she's clearly typing and following something with her eye but no new text appears. And what's with the lattice background on two of the monitors but the faux Windows one on the third? Finally, real professors with papers piled everywhere around their office have pieces of paper in the piles too; Ameku's Book Stonehenge is way too orderly. Then there's this:  This? It's Harry Potter. I of course have never touched the thing; I just noticed you could read a couple of the names and Googled them. It's also clearly the same few pages repeated multiple times, but who cares about that as I'd have no idea how to animate something like that. The other joke in my BS scenario was going to be that, among those few academics who have experienced the equation dimension, they've found that the bad writing in Harry Potter is particularly effective at breaking down the barriers of human sense that get in the way of the vision, so some people will stare at Harry Potter books and flip through the pages Commander Data–style. What else? Who loves the all out I HAVE MADE MY DIAGNOSIS! Such properties can't help but embarrass themselves being way too performative. And of course she's got a Mycroft sister (ninja Watson was already inevitable). And the nitpicking arguments among the viewers are already starting: "No way could you sever someone's leg with a dinosaur skull!" "Why didn't the guy just burn the body?" It is sad how the culture industry has installed such buttons into people, and can press them to make everyone do a stupid dance, over and over again. For Christmas one of my relatives (with a PhD in English literature) gave me another volume of more Edmund Wilson essays; this time I have another New Yorker article to quote from, "'Mr. Holmes, They Were the Footprints of a Gigantic Hound!'" (bold emphases mine): My contention is that Sherlock Holmes is literature on a humble but not ignoble level, whereas the mystery writers most in vogue now are not. The old stories are literature, not because of the conjuring tricks and puzzles, not because of the lively melodrama, which they have in common with many other detective stories, but by virtue of imagination and style. These are fairy-tales, as Conan Doyle intimated in his preface to his last collection, and they are among the most amusing of fairy-tales and not among the least distinguished. [...] [O]ver the whole epic there hangs an air of irresponsible comedy, like that of some father's rigmarole for children, like that of, say Albert Bigelow Paine in his stories about the Coon, the Possum and the Old Black Crow who all lived together in a Hollow Tree. The story-teller can make anything happen that will entertain his nightly audience and that will admit some kind of break at bedtime. The invention of Professor Moriarty, that scientific master-mind of crime who was to checkmate the great scientific detective, is simply an improvisation to bring to an end an overlong story, and the duel in which each is straining to outthink and outtrick the other is exhilarating because totally impossible. Get that? Holmes worked because Doyle was channeling a fake, hilarious absurdity. (Also the Victorian setting carried a lot of the weight.) Sherlockian "deduction" is not real, as the seriously educated know. It is a curse (supplied by capitalism) that the popularity of such stories made people think knowledge actually works this way, and that we ended up throwing quantum field theory around as window dressing. The whole notion is ridiculous, and we argue about whether the scenarios would really go that way? Alas. I may watch more of this, but I can't see it getting out of the formula it established in episode 2. EDIT: OH HELL YEAH WAIT: $p^2 - m^2 + i\epsilon$ comes from the West Coast metric. Take that, stupid East Coast (– + + +) signature convention. Anime sides with (+ – – –) and makes space negative. |
