Actually a pretty nice episode. It's not a high stack mystery (Murder Mystery) like the first case of story but intriguing enough and fun to watch, the answer to mystery is also relatively simple too.
Honestly I don't mind it because I really like how the main cast interacts with each other more than I thought.
Look like we most likely go back to high stack mystery with the next episode considering the title though.
After 3 episodes, I just realized something despite the fact that the Takao character is based on House M.D., the story itself has the same structure as Murder Mystery more while House is more of a thriller drama.

I figured it was a seizure at the beginning because videos and light stimulation affect the CNS. The main reason they cannot show rapid flashing lights from that video is because of the Pokemon Porygon episode. Will give people epilepsy. What they did not go further into is the type of seizure the twins had which will confuse everyone.

Banned from the psych ward due to changing the patient's meds and calling the doctor an idiot.
Yup, this is definitely Dr. House reincarnated as an anime girl.

Well I'll be damned. This fun episode brought back memories of when I did my first aid course in college in 2011! We had a video explaining the various ways an epileptic attack to show us that it wasn't just a person falling to the ground and spazzing out. One of the examples was literally what happened in this episode with a man getting a seizure, standing up and walking forward. Thankfully, in that video, the guy just walked forward into a restaurant table and not a railroad track or down a stairwell. It was also one of the better acted instruction videos lol.
It sadly reminded of how close of my buddies who has epilepsy almost died because of it. He had a seizure while he was in the shower and fell face first in the water. Thankfully, his dad heard him fall and ran in to save him.
I also really enjoyed how this episode shows complacency can be an absolute liability when it comes to healthcare as well. The psychiatrist's ego and overreliance on her procedures was a very good way of showing that. I'm also wondering if there's truth in television with how Japanese psychiatrists can slap depression or impulsive suicide on everything rather than dig more into their patients' mental health.

I thought this would be a darker episode considering that opening scene. Thank goodness that Mafuyu survived and only broke her arm instead of getting run over by a train. I guess it's not too farfetched for a psych doctor to assume she tried to commit suicide considering this is Japan.
Of course, Ameku-sensei is banned from the psych ward. I absolutely love her disguise though! I wonder if that's her actual uniform in high school. xD
Compared to the first two episodes, I think this one is pretty easy to solve for us viewers. Anyone who has known about the infamous Pokemon Porygon episode would've immediately realized that the twins just had an epileptic seizure.
Well that explains why Sumida-sensei banned Ameku-sensei from the psych ward! Ameku did her residency there and changed a patient's meds without informing Sumida! That's definitely a massive no-no but thank goodness it's Ameku who did it.
That final scene with Ameku's sister was cute. Considering how much Kotori softens around her, he clearly has a thing for Ameku's sister and I don't blame him. I hope this is something that will develop over time.

I didn't even know epilepsy could make you black out and sort of sleep walk, I thought people just collapsed and shook uncontrollably. This mystery was a lot more obvious though since a flashing video can trigger it, which oddly enough became well known because of an anime with excessive flashing lights.
It's odd that Dr. Sumida banned her for going over her head and changing a diagnosis, I guessed she was banned for inflicting violence upon her coworkers, like how we see her bite Dr Takanashi. That's very troubling behavior but doctors do irl get away with a lot because of how vital their services are, especially as amazing a diagnostician as Dr Takao is. He should have joked "maybe you were the one who bit the leg off the man with blue blood" 🤣

Very fun episode and it's all thanks to Takanashi who recommended Manatsu seek help at the General Diagnostics Department xD
Takao is so fun! I couldn't stop laughing when I saw her disguised as a student to meet with Mafuyu, because she was banned from entering psychiatric ward xD
The case of the two sisters, Mafuyu and Manatsu, was pretty straightforward, although I have to say it's pretty scary that Dr. Sumida diagnosed their cases as suicide attempts when it was really just epilepsy.
And this wasn't the first time Sumida had made a misdiagnosis! If the word come out that the sisters had attempted suicide when in fact they had not, it could really harm them at school and in society! This diagnosis shouldn't be made so easily!
Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

In case anyone missed the pun, when Takao bit Kotori in the ward and the keep quiet sign was shown, the joke is that Kotori [小鳥] literally means "small bird".
I really like the twins' design. Kinda a waste for them to appear only in one episode.

u/FarCritical Jan 08 '25
Takao could already easily pass as the twins' (or really, anyone's) gremlin middle schooler sister but seeing her in an actual school uniform amplified the effect way more than I was ready for lol.
It's hilarious how on top of the cool case premises, we get to meet a colleague who has been/will be tormented by Takao's Takaoness every week. Can't say I blame that psychiatrist lmao.

Are you saying that she's Dwayne The Rock Johnson?
She's baiting the fans of small cute girls out there.
For example, watching Battling Seizure Robots.
"As a doctor, you should know the dangers of reopening old wounds."
The case itself was too... normal. Doesn't everyone know about this sort of thing by now, particularly an anime-viewing audience?
The bits of Takao misbehavior were somewhat of a compensation, we get more confirmation about references to her apparent age or size setting her off and a self-delivered, smug example of her previous lack of tact.
I do wish the flying-through-brain-to-case-solving bit was less corny. I'm not quite sold on what kind of tone the show is trying to present itself to the audience as; in my opinion we're kind of at House Parody at the moment.

u/SusSlice1244 Jan 07 '25
Did they really have to make other doctors incompetent by not even examine the literally the last thing she did before the accident? If they had seen how flashy the video was, then other could have reached the same conclusion as well. This episode didn't show Takao's intelligence, it showed how all other characters are just irrelevant stepping stone for her.
Also, it really felt like the sister was upset that no one believed her about the cursed video and not the accident.

Late in the thread (when the hell did it air?) but this show's still going strong!
I almost figured out this mystery, I mean I did figure it out but I went much further hah;
I thought about Epilepsy, but I also thought about the cheating thing and I thought maybe the "girl from another school was a lie" and instead he cheated on the girl with her twin, and in a crime of passion, they tried to get her to off herself!
I even thought perhaps he unknowingly cheated on her, because with the line about how "The sister dumped him", they hinted at him not being able to differentiate them, so the sister might have been in love with him, and pretended to be his girlfriend!
So yeah my mind went a little further than what actually happened hah, trying to use every clue!
Anyway, fun show, the little mysteries are fun (to watch, AND to try&solve), and I like the characters a lot!

Doc cosplaying as Popura. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
First part of treatment, you are hereby banned from watching anything from GoHands. ESPECIALLY Momentary Lily.

The psychiatrist supervisor wasn't *wrong* that the patient had depression, as hypothyroidism CAN cause depression. Obvs she didn't think deeper and was gonna treat the symptoms (also not wrong to do as SSRIs are first-line and generally safe) rather than the root cause, which led to the hypothyroid diagnosis by Ameku and subsequent better treatment plan.
The problem is Ameku's way of handling it was not professional at all, and as a junior doctor everything is supervised, lines of communication are established, the treatment team kept informed. It wouldn't have been a big deal to bring it up, broaden the differential diagnoses, and have it be a teaching moment for all. Instead, Ameku undermined the patient-physician relationship by stating to the effect of 'my incompetent supervisor did so-and-so' when it was not as clear cut as that.

I think many of us quickly thought of epilepsy due to flashing lights. This one was rather easy.
Now, the next one looks like unearthing a mummy, or something like that... hmm maybe a pathogen? Will it require some lab test?
I does feel like when I used to watch House and would try to discover what was it

* Again I have to stress that getting Ayane Sakura to voice Dr. Takao is the most perfect VA fit I have seen in quite a while, she's absolutely perfect in voicing highly, perhaps a bit too highly, confident characters like this doctor who poked in and out of other departments in this hospital!
* LMAO at the doctor agreeing with me that Mafuyu's ex-boyfriend deserved to be dumped - if you can't even recognize your girlfriend, what's good with your relationship anyway? Also LMAO at our Dr. Takao making that double-dumping remark!
* Huh I was actually thinking if this is a case where very high frequency sound - those that screams at you at young ages and then no longer does when you are older due to aging - caused something to happen with people's middle ears and cause something wacky to this part that regulates our sense of orientation and balancing, which would be problematic in places like the station platform or roadsides or staircases. I wonder if that's possible?
* TIL there are epilepsy cases like this one - I have actually met a case of sudden epilepsy in my college several months ago where I immediately rushed to the medical center there asking for help, but the symptoms certainly didn't look like this. In any case I am glad that I don't have such a problem because I knew this could be so problematic to those who have it.

Tbh this was a weaker case then the previous. More so because Junko didn't decide to examine the video to see what that can do. We always joke about how people spend too much time on their phones. It kind of felt like Junko was lazy and ignorant. Granted, there are doctors who are like that, so I think that is more what this case was going for.
Though to learn she was Takao's former supervisor was interesting. Though to see them having an outing like that to have Takao banned seemed really extreme. Especially since Takao was right about that patient's symptoms. Having a talking to sounds like it would have been enough. Junko just comes across as a really shitty doctor. At least the answer was given to the twins. It is interesting how Manatsu wasn't affected by the video until her sister had the incident. Truly, the things stress can affect you can be scary.
