| I love surreal style. |
| What did I just watch... all I know is that there is a hot 3d woman... |

| that was...... interesting to say the least.. but i gotta admit i wanna watch the next one! |
| What the hell did I just watch.... But I want more!! I really liked it. :DD |
| Interesting but might get bored soon. Challenge accepted. |
| . |
| lol @ clueless viewers calling weird shit amazing. Even NGE and shitty SoE are better this "amazing" crap critical cognitive function.... not even once dropping after next ep for sure... this shit is a waste of time |
 |
| ....no. That was just... no. no. no no no no. dropped. |
| Heh, judging by the comments it seems that people figure out they don't like this show real fast. If you can handle the weird trippiness, it's actually a very good show ;) If you despise the style, drop it because the show doesn't really get any less weird. |
| I really enjoyed the visuals/art, but everything else I hated... |
| It's gotten to the point where existence itself has become nothing but a meme; an existence that I want nothing to do with anymore. |
| How I missed this, I will never know. Quite superb, well suited for critical thinkers and those who like to analyze and look deeper than what is only on the surface; while also having a stylish flair. In the dark days of ero, school girl bullshit and more shounen battle shows than one can handle, it's always good to have a burning light like this out there. |
| I can handle this. Though I won't expect much |
 |
| Dafuq did I just watch? Pretty weird I'd have to say, though a nice take on art style, animation and just story, reminds me a lot of the movie Mind Game. Well lets see what the story has to offer! It sure is interesting. |
 |
| He's fallinggggggggggg. Honestly, I'm having trouble understanding this series but looks interesting and of course weird the same time. That music sure is something from the beginning of the episode. The needle scene was awkward. Reminded me of Dansai Banri no Crime Edge... Weird/5 |
 |
| Hmmm that was freaky but in a good way lol. |
 |
| LOL it was cool, I liked it. Dem cleavage and thighs, brb searching for Mayumi. P.S. And dat Fukuicchi. Edit: flaxman85 said: lol @ clueless viewers calling weird shit amazing.

"I will get another serving (and waste more time) before I stop." Oh sure, why not. |

Trippy as hell ! You are... MENTALLY ILL ! HAHAHHAH I love the fact it's so colorful and weird. I guess I'll try to complete it (: Greaaat! |
 |
| I hoped for something unusally and interesting but this episode only gave me headache with the visual randomness. Really, no scene without a colourful bunch of circles. How can somebody enjoy it without a joint? |
| Well well well, now this is pretty unique and enjoyable. I just hope it doesn't try to be too unique at times. And the OP is 2catchy4me. |

| wow the visuals are great i love the animation, but story-wise i am not that impressed, i hope that the stories improve |

| um what That was weird and went by absurdly fast. Can't say I'm hooked just yet, but that last cut in by the guest psychologist was a pretty ingenious hook. Now I want to know what's up with those injections. |
| Oh boy, what have I gotten into now... |
 |
| i wonder what this would feel like if i was high... i really like it, though. |
  |
| That was a very good start. Fun style as well, reminds me of Mind Game. |
| It was interesting to watch.......sort of a sit back and let the visuals flow type of thing. This is a series that is probably best watched no more than once a day.....not going to binge this one. LOL |
 |
| What the actual heck did I just start watching. |
| Very weird show, with that said i really like the theme and the approach they do, Doctor main character = insta like. The art style is creative and nice but it has some problems by being messy. From the premise i can say it has similarities with Mononoke, but easier to relate to, however Mononoke has the superior art aspect. |

| And still, Bill will live on. He will befriend the next inhabitants of the earth, beings of light who revere him as a god. And Bill will outlive them all... for millions and millions of years...exploring, learning, living, until the earth is swallowed beneath his feet. Until the sun is long since gone. Until time loses all meaning and the moment comes that he knows only the positions of the stars and sees them whether his eyes are closed or open. Until he forgets his name and the place where he'd once come from. He lives and he lives until all of the lights go out. |
| Lol and here I though SEL was trippy. Well, at least this one is less trippy than that |
| How magnificent. |
| Probably the weirdest show, style wise atleast, I have ever watched. Is this what LSD feels like? |

| I already like Mayumi xD So that's why this anime named Kuuchuu Buranko (Trapeze) The way the show present us the "solution" though So that's why Ward Office Staff walked like that Joker if he was a good doctor/psychiatrist That ED is so good, I think I heard it from somewhere but can't found the title Mayumiiii! xD |

| Well, this definitely won't be boring to say the least. A lot of interesting and bizarre stuff was going on, but I would be if lying if I said this was my cup of tea. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Well, this is definitely weird, but I really like it for now. (It gave me some Monogatari vibes at times...) If I understood correctly, this show is about mental illness, I think making the show very surreal is consequently a good idea. I also like the fact that while it actually has a serious undertone, the show itself is completely wacky instead of depressing, it reminds me of FLCL on that level while at the same time being completely different. At first I thought the mix of animation and real-life people would bother me but it's actually well-done, for now I'm very fond of the vibes this show is giving. I don't know why exactly though, but it has a charm. I wonder why this doctor seems to have 3 different versions of himself though. A strange, silly and childish version wearing a mouse face and having an injection fetishism, a kid version who seems to be very jaded, and a young man version, who seems to be quite eccentric too... And the most surprising is that the patient didn't seem to question that. There's probably an explanation but for now, I really don't have it. (However one thing I can say for sure is that I love the ed. I still have it playing in my mind and somehow, it's putting me in a good mood.) |

| Incredible, this is like everything I like in one pack. Kenji Nakamura does not disappoint. I *adore* live-action inserts in anime, be it in the OP/ED (Kuuchuu Buranko has both!) or in the episode itself. The variety of techniques (rotoscoping, live-action, cardboard cut-outs xD) were very pleasing to see, and many gag situations were legitimately funny. The best thing for me was the diverse voice acting of the patient's colleague performers, especially that Russian guy xD I burst out laughing. Though I really wonder who played him, as well as other guys' who didn't speak Japanese. I can't find credits anywhere. Though I surely felt *uncomfortable* during the injection scenes. Gross! As for Dr. Irabu's forms, I'll stick to the Freudian interpretation so far. Also what's up with the Toei merchandise and logos everywhere hahaha Before disappearing, Mayumi was reading "Tomorrow" by Junichi Toriyama. I wonder if it's significant. As far as the symbolism goes, the birds (in cages or not) are also probably meaningful. Also that broken flower after the successful injection... and the pationt's head changing into a bird... I'll be paying attention to the calendar (?). It changed from 16 to 24 in this episode, but got reset during the next episode preview. |

| So from what I got is that the gymnastic person was having too much anxiety from his sport(new partner/things not going right), a lot of acid and his past. |
| I didn't expect something that trippy for the visuals lol, especially the mix between 2D and 3D, but it seems pretty good so far, we'll see. |

| lmaoooo this shit is hilarious |

| I'm always going to be attracted to the weird and different shows, and this definitely qualifies for that. Love the visual mish-mash of ideas, the incorporation of live-action for close-ups and cardboard cut-outs look for the extras, it's a very distinctive look that had me entertained on it's own. And the injection scene was fun too. I will say, the actual narrative of the episode on it's own wasn't very good on it's own. It didn't really need to be since it has it's unusual style on the forefront to make an impression, but I do think if the series stories don't improve much I probably won't end up liking this much. 11 episodes isn't a lot but it's enough that the style likely won't be able to carry the show by itself. |
| I saw this by accident on someone's favorites, caught my eye, let's go! Hm this is... something. I guess it'll come down to how much is plot and how much is a PSA. OP is pretty good though. That injection scene. Uh, yeah, otherwise, I don't know? Out of the gate I'd say it reminds me a bit of The Science of Sleep which I liked. I don't necessarily dislike this show, it's just pretty jarring compared to all the other anime I've seen. Though, there isn't a whole lot to it, mostly just visuals and transitions. |
