| Well, all in all, that was most satisfactory. It'd be pretty interesting to find a copy of the book, I'll bet there's a whole bunch more technical jargon. Mmmmmm... jargon. |
| 10/10 A Real Psychological anime....XD The One thing that i didn't get at all...Who is the real Ichiro? The Tall one or the short one...Well Yeah of course, the Rabbit is just a costume...the patients' cases are so interesting that i haven't really thought bout it XD and why does ichiro appears in every patients move (For example Bando *the baseball player*, Ichiro was in the playing field), is it because of the vitamins XD |
     |
| Refreshing and intelligent series. A shame that it was so short, but I really enjoyed it a lot. Waiting for a second season. 8/10 |
 |
| Masterpiece. 10/10 |
| I have to watch it two times to fully get in track and it was worth it. "You have to take note of the voices of all the canaries around you." That made everything clear. Realistic depiction was excellently done. The end part where the 3 of them laughing was great esp. the line about their "canary" patient. Overall, it was an awesome series. Refreshing in terms of concept , animation and being a psychological series. 10/10 - Nothing is perfect but this one is closer to it. :) Also, Nakamura, you amused me here... xD  |

| Awesome, this episode was the continuation of my favorite episode. |
 |
| 8/10 Dr. Irabu is a great character. |
 |
| Decent ending episode of this quite interesting but weird anime with its unique art style that reminded me so to the movie Mind Game! Well I did enjoyed the nurse :p and some of the patients! Well a fine anime in general! /6/10 |
 |
| That ending was beautiful, really enjoyed this series. |
 "So stupid" "I love ya". No one is perfect This series has some of the most strange quotes. If I graded this out of strangenss, it would score 11/10. However based on enjoyment and some objectivity, I rate this 8.5/10. Definitely unique that's for sure. |
 |
| I wanted MOOOOOOORE ♥n♥ |
| Great show. Worth my time. Irabu, you'll be missed! In my opinion, it's really underrated show. |
| It was utterly brilliant. I liked the fact that every episode was different and self-closing but in the same way was connected to each other. The best thing anyway was the message the show was willing to give us: No one is perfect. 10/10, because the episode 10 conquered my heart. |
 |
| Dam this is one of those anime you get really upset when you finish since you want more ;_; Was very entertaining and glad it was my first Psychological+Comedy anime. Hope to see more of it one day but just like with Mononke I doubt it'll ever happen :( 9/10. |
 |
| The metaphor with the canary was striking, comparing it with the ones close to you and family This was like a spiced up Dr. Katz on drugs curing the mental disorders The animation style was unique and blend in well with the live action scenes I have marathon this entire show with some breaks similar to "Mushi-shi" each episode has strong episodic stories That said the characters that are focused on each time will appear again due to the events crossing it's path The OP would have been a hit like Gangnamstyle if there was an equally absurd PV made of it I liked the nostalgic ED as well Dr. Irabu and Mayumi had made a great impression onscreen with their playful and smart remarks The best episode to me was the cellphone addiction which is a modern trend nowadays I will be missing the comedy |
| Wow, what an amazing series, I loved the last sentence: No one is perfect!, that, and the Nodame Cantabile picture at the end, just amazing!!! <3 Would love to have more! |
| Honobono Log - best slice of life short -------------------------------------------- most kawaii loli overlord ---------------------------- Donquixote Doflamingo AMV - Control |
| The final episode wasn't my favourite, but it was still pretty decent. This really was a great series, loved the surrealism of it, and I felt like I could relate to some of the patient's problems. |
 |
| Okay, I thought the previous episode was the best one, but I liked this one more :) A really great way to end this amazingly exceptional anime. No one is perfect! |
 |
| A good series which saved its 2 best episodes for last. I would watch a second season (it's never going to happen, though). Time to watch Mononoke, I guess. |
 |
| Oh what a dick of a dad...no wonder why Yuta had issues. No one is perfect...sums up the show perfectly. 9/10. |
 |
| Wish people would give the series a try once they leave school. Might find something important. |
| the yellow bird, really? i'm actually sad this ended so fast. it was so good and different. ;; i'm gonna miss irabu. <3 [and i'm certainly gonna miss mayumi.] |
  |
| Will definitely have to come back and rewatch this. Was different from what I thought it'd be, but this was still pretty good. The poor mother though. I'm glad she got a happy ending. |
| What a great last episode with a strong message ''No one is perfect!'' to end this beautiful anime. It's too bad that Kuuchuu Buranko seems pretty unknown among the anime community. Irabu and Mayumi were so awesome and I will miss them for sure! |
 |
| I gave the series a rewatch and it's still one of my favourites, it ages really well! |
 |
Necronomicon said: I gave the series a rewatch and it's still one of my favourites, it ages really well! Just finished rewatching it as well and I feel like I probably enjoyed it even more than the first time. Such a great show. |
|
| Seems like I'm in a minority on not liking it very much. But I can see why most people enjoy this anime, it just didn't click with me. I'm still glad that I watched it and enjoyed the overall themes of the show. 5/10 |
 |
Every episode seemed to involve me more. I think that Bando was my favorite patient. All the episodes that had him throwing badly just made me laugh. Then of course Mayumi was better than a vitamin shot for making me feel..........better. All told, 8/10 and happy with the whole series. |
 |
| The last episode was pretty deep, it can be argued that the last patient was the viewer! I really enjoyed this show, added to my favourites without a second guessing. Hi guys, does anyone know what gives with Irabu's three forms? Another thing I never understood which they increasingly showed as the show reach the middle point is why when the kid takes centre stage is the teddy bear ego either dragged around by the kid or propped up somewhere in the room? Is Irabu himself plagued with mental disorders, after all "no one is perfect". I don't know the correct term but multiple personality disorder is when one personality takes over and the others stay dormant. If I remember correctly the other personalities are not also active when that happens resulting in a confused patient when the 'dominant' personality regains control. Perhaps the lifeless teddybear is suggesting this? I also saw it as the patient 'maturing' as they dig deeper into their problems. It always start with the abstract being the teddy bear, mostly or all swaps to the kid and finally the adult as the root of the disorder becomes fleshed out. At the end the patient gains a little bit of control over their disorder and are more self aware, the result is a balanced representation of all three egos? |

| Nothing can happen until you swing the bat. |
| I'm glad I discovered this anime. It certainly is unique and in a class of its own. A literal psychological anime indeed. I absolutely love Irabu's various forms and of course Mayumi! |
| allo |
| I loved this anime especially when Irabu sensei and Mayumi-chan give patients vitamin shots for the sake of it (Irabu watching like a curios kid), what a masochist. Also I must no forget Fukuicchi with his additional lessons on those psychological disorders and compulsive behavior. This last episode about Hideo Tsuda and his son Yuta being distant with each other was a great lesson to parents and children relationships. I will forever miss those three personality he portrayed and also that evil laugh killed. At first I didn't get it but I learned to love it.9/10. |
How I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb --- Dr Strangelove  |
| So we ended with the father huh. It was fine, I preferred the others but it's a pretty solid series. 7/10 This conclusion was pretty meh. I feel like most of the disorders mentioned in this anime are some things I feel like I have not as excessive as this but still, pretty relatable at times. A random thought that crossed my mind: I think this style might fit source materials like Oyasumi Punpun :p especially with the mash of 2d and 3d faces |
| Great anime. I work in medical field as well so this added more enjoyment to me. The anime is never silly or dumb its always unique and smart with how it delivers its message, the art is nice but sometimes feels messy. I had a lot of fun watching it, one of my favorites. 8.5/10 |
| 10/10 AWERSOME ANIME |
 |
| I'm probably the minority that this anime wasn't my favorite. It's def not bad on any terms, and I will give credit to it's very unique design. I guess I was expecting something more... weird? Like I know it wasn't run-of-the mill story, but it felt very grounded for a psychological anime, despite the imagery. I felt the last two episodes were pretty good, but I wish that whole feeling carried throughout the series. I admit I was very bored at some parts and struggled to finish it. I'll give it a 6/10 from my original average 5 score, if only due to the last couple episodes. |
 |
| So that's how Yuta's story ended I feel like the doctor got cured really fast, way too fast Cured without treatment, I guess time-restraint is just too strict Awww I'll miss Irabu and Mayumi Especially the "injection" scene xD |
"Signature removed"   |
| Nice way to wrap things up. And great series overall. Didn't really catch me at first despite working in a hospital, but with each episode I grew more fond of the crazy style. Of course the story couldn't dive very deep into the subject matter, but the presentation was interesting. I also liked that you could always find something most of us can relate to, which made it easier to get invested into the characters and their struggle. Another aspect I enjoyed was how episode were connected to each other. Makes the universe more organic and adds to the rewatch value. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| The series was an experience to say the least. Hard to watch at times and somewhat repeatitive, it's nonetheless one of the most interesting psychological anime, both because of its subject and of its approach of the subject. Firstly because the subject is psychiatry, we don't go from bland characters to cliche motivations pasted on them (as is often the norm in anime), but from clinical issues that slowly unravel a character. Secondly the approach always strive for originality: with the one-face patient, the omniscient physician, the psychedelic colours, the mix of realistic and more cartoonish styles. The main effect is to erase borders: borders between patient and doctor, between patient and human being, between human and animal, between work and art. Mindscape and reality become one. But have they not always been one? Nothing is fixed, everything overflows with life. No one is perfect. |
 |
| Short and sweet. The last episodes were really good. |
| Rely on nothing under heaven |
| All taxi drivers in the show are female. Just an observation. Toru Furuya (Amuro) as Tsuda! I lost it when Kenji Nakamura'face appeared as a patient xD Nice closing episode with simple yet touching theme. And finally something like an explanation for canaries! Looked a bit like breaking the 4th wall. Also, Irabu's 3 forms met in one shot! P.S. Just discovered that Irabu's child form is a boy, not a girl haha |

| If you did not wave back every time Mayumi-chan waves at the end of an episode I will be very disappointed. 10/10 |

| Not the strongest final episode. But it does bring a semi-decent conclusion for Yuta. His dad's still a dick. I hope his poor mom gets some happiness in the future. She's probably the one that requires the most help. This series was pretty good but its strong first half was not followed by a strong second-half. I just feel like the the episodes in the second half weren't as good. 7/10 |
