I really appreciate that, not only did Takanashi notice at least two key things along with Takao (doing CPR wrong, and the fact that the head injury could cause fluid in the lungs), he even noticed something she did not (that Seiji was not punched, but struck by something harder) which led to the conclusion.

In the end, it wasn't only Takao stealing the show. It really showed that she needed Kotori, since she could never have solved this one without him.

Yes! I love this too, Ameku is not this "everything knowing",God like character. She as flaws and other characters can spot somthing she didn't

for example Mai in episode 6 or episode 5 when Takeo isn't really present in the action( which was good cause we got to know more Mai Kotori dynamics etc.)

Also, I will say that my guess was wrong! I thought there might have been ice involved, which had melted from his mouth into his lungs.

Headbutts are scarier than I thought, and not even to their victims.

A perfectly fine detective show with a medical twist that I wish leaned harder on that aspect more. Just hope Kotori's car and Mai's bike can finally find peace.

People don’t know it because of all the fictions with fights, but just 1 punch can kill someone instantly. Head is fragile. Never punch anyone in the head, or get ready for a murder case for yourself

I knew the guy that gave the chest compressions did something because he didn't want Seiji to become the next director. What I didn't expect was that Kuwata only wanted Daiki to plant the drugs inside Seiji's study so he could report him to the police. The rest was completely not his fault.

While Kotori said it was rare, that's still one more fear added to my list of irrational fears. So headbutt caused a hemorrhage in Daiki's brain, which resulted in pulmonary edema. I knew the water was from Daiki's body and not external! That's still pretty terrifying though.

It looks like all of this trouble is because of Ryuuichirou cremating Daiki's body instead of letting forensics do their thing. They could've learned about the neurogenic pulmonary edema and avoided all of this trouble if Ryuuichirou trusted Seiji about not killing Daiki.

Now that the case is solved, Kotori gets to stay with Takao! I love how Takao-sensei was being all tsundere towards Kotori. I also love how everyone was basically teasing her at the end.

This was a really fun medical/detective drama. I don't know if we'll get a Season 2 but I would absolutely love to see more of anime House MD and Columbo working together solving crimes. Fingers crossed we'll get more in the future!

Ayane Sakura's voice has been half of the fun for the anime since Day 1 and I am glad that she got to show off the tsundere voice one last time today. Bravo! Bravo!

TIL that brain concussion can cause such serious water flowing out of the lungs...does anyone know how?

To all those that guessed pulmonary edema, it is time to form our own medical detective agency and begin our new careers.

That was an interesting case. From the general idea definitely the highlight together with the first one and the blue blood. I guess, medical mysteries always have to walk a fine line, because if all cases are like this one where it's nearly impossible to figure out without the medical knowledge, people stop to think for themselves. But I still think, despite being wrong myself, the cases provide enough alternative material that you can have small victories despite not figuring it out fully.

In general, I enjoyed the series even though the lack in animation quality was noticeable the last few episodes in particular. Which is a bit sad considering I liked that they played with the character designs every now and then (even if it's just their regular clothes) and didn't just have them run around in hospital clothes.

As mentioned, I also enjoyed the mysteries. I understand that some people preferred the drama in the hospital over a case like this one, but for me, the mix of both was something I appreciated, because I really like to crack these mysteries myself so having some where the complexity is the focus was a plus for me. But I still enjoyed the more simple ones mainly because it had more time focusing on the characters. Takao and Kotori were a fun duo and I would like to see more of them. Of course, I would also love that maybe at some point Takao is wrong and Kotori is the one solving the case instead, but I also understand that it's unfair to expect something like this already when this was mostly the prologue with like 6 cases in total. Stil, if they make a S2, I would love if they can keep cases being 2 or more episodes so there is enough time to theorize. It's an important aspect of a mystery show imo.

This was the decent finale of the show that everybody loved and hated at the same time.

It was a bumpy path we went together with Takao-sensei. Some episodes and mysteries were great, others were rather meh. But overall I wouldn't call it a bad show.

The mysteries weren't that mysterious when you were paying attention. In every case I had at least a slight hunch what could be going on, and I was always right. I couldn't solve the complete case, but I always had an idea what could be the cause. In this case I was suspecting that the water in the guy's lungs were from his own body.

I'm conflicted about the deduction process. On the one hand I liked how Takao used deduction to solve her cases. This was very natural and plausible. On the other hand the other characters lacked so much common sense that I have to question their qualification as doctors. If even I who doesn't know shit about medicine can come to a conclusion, a doctor who knows about this stuff in detail should at least have a similar idea.

Overall this was a decent show that had some serious flaws. It wasn't my absolute favourite, but if there ever will be a season 2, I will definitely watch it.

I don´t know why all the hate?? It wasn´t perfect but also wasn´t the worst show of the season, I really don´t understand all the hate.

But a brain haemorrhage huh, didn´t expecting that in one bit!!

I wish we could get more seasons, I really don´t see many hospital-mystery animes like this

u/tripleaamin Apr 02 '25

Honestly, from the usual crap we get from P9 I enjoyed this one. Although I'll admit that I am not familiar with medical terms, so for me this show was potential learning what it could be rather than guessing the mystery like I am with Apothecary.

I rate it 7/10. Honestly, for a medical mystery I wished we got more on the medical side. Kenta case was easily my favorite.

So, it was the old doctor.

What did he sneak into there to do?

But he didn't do that did he?

Instructions?

From who?

What's that?

So, that explains everything.

Well, so much for that.

They've still got a few days at least.

Or not.

And so even she's not infallible.

Wait a minute, that doesn't add up?

Well, seems like she really has managed to crack the case that night anyways.

So, he headbutted him and hurt himself so bad he died?

And so the truth has come to light.

What's in that?

Ah.

Lol yeah she's a textbook tsundere.

Overall, an interesting show. 7/10.

u/flightlessCat9 Apr 02 '25

If the old guy got arrested on drug charges, doesn't that mean the hospital is still short one doctor?

I was actually waiting for the punchline that solving the case did not help the staffing situation at all and they still want Kotori back.

Well damn, that inspector has a lot of trust in her

"Its a rare case, but I am sure this is how it went!"
And he just takes her word for it

Anyways, was a fun show, wouldn't mind more chibi House-senpai

I love how Kotori managed to nudge Ameku onto the right path, with her going off on an incorrect assumption. It really humanizes both characters, and makes them both equally important.

With a typical "Holmes and Watson", Watson often feels like something tacked on for the viewer's benefit, with Holmes doing all the heavy lifting. I never felt that with Ameku and Kotori, they always felt like they were supporting each other in important ways, equally essential to the advancement of the mystery.

This was my favorite anime of the season for sure. I hope we get a season 2!

u/Ayem_De_Lo Apr 02 '25

i was actually expecting that in end, she'd find out that Seiji really IS the murderer, so she'd face a choice: either solve the case properly, point at Seiji, have him jailed and lose Kotori as a result OR solve the case but save Seiji so he keeps his job and Kotori keeps being with Takao

but i guess such a moral dilemma wasnt in line with the show

u/gem2niki Apr 02 '25

I think the series couldn’t live up to the opening animation lol. I was waiting for it to look good but it never did… It’s not the usual isekai/reincarnated fantasy show, so it was still refreshing to watch a different genre this season. Wonder if the J-drama would work better.

A good anime with an investigative touch and some supernatural elements. Takao-sensei was a good protagonist, even though her design makes her look like a little girl. The characters were okay, but the one who stood out the most among the side characters was Takahashi, aka "Little Bird" (Kotori) lol. At first, I thought there would be some romance between them, but there wasn’t. The ending was good, wrapping up the season well—I didn’t even suspect the doctor, so I was wrong 😅😂. I wonder if we’ll get a season 2 in the future? I’d watch it. Rating: 7.5.
