| Two episodes aired today, back to back. It seems when Takao gets into critical thinking, she enters her own space with its analytical projection features. Might be exclusive to her skills this season. This episode had more deductive reasoning so it felt more like on the detective side than medical. Good for her imo, she's taking on these cases with reasoning than just a practical approach. |
 |
| 1st 2 Eps aired back to back. The investigation turns into a head seeing the skeleton of the T-Rex with Takao, Takanashi and the police detectives figuring out the cause of the yakuza gangster of 23-year-old Kosuke Kumade death and exchanging their valuable info on the matter. The reopening of the Kurume Museum defintely had a part to play, and the Hachisuka Clinic where Kumade was first brought to for recovery, that Director Hachisuka tried to resuscitate him but to no avail, and combining the stories altogether, it was the typical gangs-at-war matter that put Kumade's life on the line, and it all led back to the museum, with the revelation from Takao. The blue blood and dragon fangs...that's more of a chemical compound of Methylene Blue inflicted into his blood to treat his methemoglobinemia, which is also used for tropical fish, and the actual disloging of the leg being severed due to the skeleton head's weight. And to think that Dr. Hachisuka would come back to retrieve Kumade's body, it was an elaborate case of coincidences and fate that has Hachisuka being tred and played around by Takao's diagnosis, both hidden and intentional. More than Yu protecting her from Hachisuka's final exploits, Takao's sister Mazuru is, like her uncle, very disciplined. Too bad that the study session would have to wait. Decent start, will need to see more. |

| Interesting case. I love dinos. So far, a good show. |

| This show has been great so far Takao really knows her stuff. |
| I suspected some kind of poisoning behind the blue blood but I guess I wasn't too far off. |
| REJECT ANIMU - EMBRACE TOKU |
| ok ok, it was a good start it was not a bad case to start like that even if it's stranger to have a doctor who plays detective... |

| The 1st big case of the series and it has a huge factual error. Methaemoglobinaemia DOES NOT cause blue blood. It causes brown blood, which appears as a blue tinge under skin. Methylene blue, however, does cause a blue discolouration of body fluids (most notably urine) although not blood. So it would have made far more medical sense if they said the patient's urine was blue. |
| I really enjoy the deductive reasoning of Dr. Ameku. The way she solves the mystery with a clinical and rational eye, without resorting to conventional methods, it’s no wonder people are calling her the "Dr. Sherlock." The revelation of the poisoning and the circumstances involving the dinosaur skeleton were a good twist. I hope the secondary characters are developed more, and if possible, her interaction with the medical team could be explored further. I felt that the resolution of the mystery was a bit rushed. The poisoning was interesting, but the episode could have explored more details about the motives behind the crime. The resolution was cool, but it would have been nice if it had been more elaborate. That said, I wouldn't consider this a negative critique, far from it. After all, it wouldn't make sense to focus too much on one thing in an anime with only 12 episodes. 7.5/10 |
| So the characters, the dialogues and the puzzles are kind of dull and forced. Using the T-Rex scull (also this is a replica, right?) being the dumbest part. The MC comes from the same writing school which gave us Lelouch Lamperouge - just make the rest of the characters really stupid, especially thе antagonists. |
alshuJan 1, 11:35 PM
| Hope the side characters get more time, and she talks to the medical team more. The mystery ended too fast. Poisoning was cool, but they should’ve explained the motives better. Ending was okay but most definitely needed more detail. |
 |
| I don't know, I somewhat feel bad for the underground doctor that overstreched himself when he accepted Kumade in his clinic and then rolled straight into hell when Takao walked into the case with the intention of solving it. |
| It seems my theories were completely wrong, but still, this second episode managed to captivate me. The way they put the clues together to unravel the “why” and “how” behind that body was brilliant. I imagine future cases will follow a similar style, which is something to look forward to! And it looks like the next case will be just as good. |

| How incredible, that's how I describe this work, I haven't read the manga or the light novel, but these two episodes, it's giving me a huge reason to read both, simply these episodes. The main character being a doctor, but at the same time taking it seriously and going further with her incredible mind, with small details going deeper into the event, at the same time as she is a doctor, she can also be a detective with her look, I just loved it the anime's proposal, and as always Sakura doing a great voice playing the main character, I'm already looking forward to the next episode, maybe I'll even read the Light novel because I can't wait lol |
| I'm in love. I've been fascinated with a number of different areas of medical science the past four years, partially inspired by undergoing some serious adverse medical events in my own life, and throughout the entirety of the time from then to now this is the exact and specific type of anime I've craved for, one with knowledgeable doctors or medical researchers in a modern clinical setting, as characters. I didn't think that there was any anime out of all previously released which adequately matched those specific parameters or that we'd necessarily ever get one anytime soon. So finding out about this new upcoming series several weeks ago and just watching it today after the premiere has seemed like a surreal event from the surprise and level of personal wish fulfillment. Of course, even when just first hearing about it, the immediate comparison of what it came off like just from hearing the description was an anime equivalent of House - Something that seems like would be a popular enough topic with an amount of material for writing it which is nearly limitless considering the depth and winding, constantly evolving path of medical research and discovery, as well as changing best practices in evidence-based medicine - this is a story and show which can virtually always have something new to put before its audience pulled from science and actual cases. So I'm surprised that as far as I'm aware, we really haven't previously ever gotten anything like it a lot sooner. After actually watching the first episodes, the closest series I've seen which it reminds me of, besides House, but sticking to anime, is Beautiful Bones - Sakurako's Investigation. If Sakurako were a medical doctor instead of a forensic osteologist, with an internist and adult co-worker as her junior partner instead of a high school boy. But in the sense of modern mysteries, seems like the information density will be balanced by a little lightheartedness and occasional bits of personal comedy/Slice of Life/drama/romance, and a "childish", headstrong, brilliant female lead with an intense personality. Kind of also like a more strictly medical-focused and modern-day Earth-set Apothecary Diaries due to that too. |

| Fun. She kind of reminds me of Kotoko Iwanaga from In/Spectre. Never watched House, I suppose this is the next best thing lol |
| Very interesting episode. She is really a talented doctor and a detective. They solved the mystery very quickly but it was very mysterious at first. Just realised they don't use actual logic and symptoms but it's alright since it's fiction. |
| I need somebody who can love me at my worst No, I'm not perfect, but I hope you see my worth 'Cause it's only you, nobody new, I put you first And for you, girl, I swear I'll do the worst If you stay forever, let me hold your hand I can fill those places in your heart no else can Let me show you love, oh, I don't pretend, yeah I'll be right here, baby, you know I'll sink or swim |
| Should've known for a mystery show that greeting someone by naming a bunch of tropical fish would be crucial for the case somehow but at the same time it seemed like a totally normal interaction for someone like Takao lol. Damn Kotori's got moves. |
| This time on the police procedural medical drama Weird, the construction guy called a clinic for someone with a severed leg before an ambulance. Through what mechanism did a T-Rex skeleton bite the leg off of a man? There is a surgery listed among the clinic's services She saw the fish tank by the side door and started naming tropical fish. All ties back to the gang violence case on the news. So using a T-Rex's jaws was a cruel and unusual way of punishing a shooter? No...got to be more to it... At the museum, Takao sees the vast tank of tropical fish and the T-Rex behind it It's all coming together. The culprit Hachisuka enters in time for Dr. Ameku to give her diagnosis; the victim went to his clinic to be treated for the bullet wound as he knew he'd be connected to the shooting if he went to a hospital, Hachisuka pumped him with anaesthetic, inducing Methemoglobinemia. How Takao knew Hachisuka would be at the museum through is just as astounding; from their first interaction, she knew he's kept tropical fish (and would know the museum had Methylene blue to steal) and when she blurted out that cops would be at the museum the following morning, she made a mental note Hachisuka's reaction. That was to throw him off so he'd come to the museum to clean the evidence before the police came. Of course, she, Kotori and the two detectives would be there waiting for him. Hachisuka used the T-Rex jaws to remove leg with the bullet wound so the corpse wouldn't be connected to the shooting incident. From the T-Rex to the fish, the museum poster was the Chekhov's gun. Kotori used karate! Takao still kicks the perp when he's down for calling a woman of her age a brat. Another Dr. Ameku. |

| It's a bit boring but I guess the exposition cannot be helped. Anyway, Takao is a loli for her age. lol |
| Finished watching the first two episode. After Orb for the previous season. Now this? Not to mention there's also Maomao and don't forget about Dr. Stone as well. Bruh this past season a science fiction genre kinda eating good the anime industry, huh? Tho, i must say, this isn't the best among what i mention above. Especially with the methemoglobin create a blue blood, kinda so 'over the top'. But looking at how smart its back to the trex skeleton reasoning, i think its not entirely that bad. Only way too 'fiction' with the blue blood.... Also, i forget, Aimer da goat save more blood. Its pumping! |
 Hide and seek is the best offline games on this fatamorgana-called-world-thing. Please comment nicely. I am newbie here. I'm level  on mal-badges. View my badges  |
| That was an amazing deduction show! love Takao's cocky attitude and confidence of calling herself a genius, tensai! And our little bird Watson can fight! |
| I'm saying it now: This will probably be my anime of the season. If not it will at least be in my top 5. Takao Sensei is great and her VA fits her like a glove! Her chemistry with other characters is great! The mysteries are great! What more do you need?! |

It’s not a documentary. The disclaimer in episode 1 right at the start makes it clear that it is a work of fiction and medical procedures etc may vary from reality.
But given the depth they explored the topic, I agree that it would be fairly easy to write the episode using accurate facts like blue lips, nails etc and brown arterial blood, especially with a severed limb involved. Seems they dumbed it down to save time on dialogue?
| @FutoiOtaku Not a documentary, but if it wants to be a good mystery series, it needs to use accurate facts for its clues. This would be equivalent to saying a cat was here because a feather was left behind. If intentional, it was a poor decision because it is one of the 2 highlights of the case yet it really looks like the writer was just shoehorning it in so they could fit in the part where everyone else mistook the puddle of methylene blue for the patient's blood, which honestly could have been written in many other ways eg a spilled tin of blue paint that would be totally believable in a museum thats still undergoing renovation. The novelist is an internal medicine physician, so methaemoglobinaemia is most likely common knowledge to him. So the comment Takao made to Kotori about how he should know better as an internal medicine physician feels like a shot at himself for making false facts. The far more acceptable deviation from reality is that no one did a 5-minute blood test that is done at virtually every modern cardiac arrest called a "blood gas", which on most modern analysers would measure methaemoglobin unless the facility decided to skint on the device function. |
| I find it really hard to belief that a guy dragged around a guy everywhere and nobody saw him. Add breaking into the museum which has no guards or care takers for some reason and then leaving a dead body lying around to be found on top of that on a construction site to that, yeah. One of that happening is fine but this is too much. Granted it was raining but doesn't mean people just completely disappear from the world on a rainy day. Also I haven't seen or know of any museum left unguarded with so much valuables inside. The mystery solving itself was good, sherlock style and the case was interesting too but flawed. Anyway I do like the characters. Kotori wasn't big just for show and also knows karate. Love Mazuru onee san. |
 |
| I think these first two episodes were okay. Not that interested so far tbh. I think I just don't like Takao's character that much, not really sure what it is but just not that into this :/ |
 |
| These first 2 episodes of Detective House were a nice start. |
| Calling upon local assets before calling the EM's is pretty standard for the const industry. Takao's power of perception really is pretty wild. Hmm the underground clinic angle was a nice one to use here. Still im glad that in the end that case was resolved sucessfully. Quite the opening mystery for this series. Looks like the real master thats capable of keeping Takao in check is Mazuru. |

| The mystery and the deduction were intriguing and mostly made sense, but a little too ridiculous for my tastes. What kind of idiot would think to use a T-rex skull to amputate a corpse's leg??? The characters are unbelievably bland, though. Takao is just a run-of-the-mill brat with Sherlock Holmes/Dr. House's mode of operation. The side characters are cardboard cut-outs at the moment. The "mind palace" sequence was extremely corny, with visualization of neurons and Tron grids. And the "action music" when the dead guy was being wheeled into ER was really generic, bordering on parody. The jazz in the first few minutes was a pleasant surprise, though. This will probably turn out to be decent fun, but I now have zero hopes of this becoming a great medical show. |
Crossburn said: Methylene blue, however, does cause a blue discolouration of body fluids (most notably urine) although not blood. So it would have made far more medical sense if they said the patient's urine was blue. I don't think the victim actually drank took methylene blue, though. During Takao's deductions, we see the mob doctor pick up the bottle of methylene blue, only to turn around and find his patient dead. I think the animators had to take some liberties with the visuals, because it would've been confusing to the viewer when they can plainly see that the blood is "brown" but the other characters keep talking about "blue blood." |
Elior21 said: why using the t-rex skull was the underground doctor biggest and dumbest mistake? It wasn't underground doctor's biggest mistake...it's author's biggest mistake in this story: 1. Highly unpractical as a way to cut someone's limb - with only the upper half it would crush it instead of cut it. 2. It would be hard to handle since it's quite heavy. 3. Easy to identify as weapon, since no animal or machinery from the vicinity could make such wound. 4. It would be hard to clean the blood and the DNA remnants...even if possible, some cleaning agent would left on and since it's an exhibition people could notice some suspicious colouring/discolouring. (Oh, I forgot, the people in this universe are quite dumb, so they couldn't.) He should've just burn the body...any plans to simulate some sort of incident can't hide two condemning elements: 1. A suspiciously missing limb. 2. Blood being the wrong colour. Another idea is cutting the body to many pieces and scattering those all around Tokyo in hope that the police will have hard time to gather the whole puzzle and figure out the source of it. Also many of the previous actions of said doctor make no sense too. The are not simply mistakes from his part. |

@perseii can you explain to me why the use of the t-rex skull to severe the leg was the underground doctor biggest and dumbset mistake please?
| @Elior21 I didn't say it was the "biggest and dumbest mistake"... just "a little too ridiculous." The doctor's problem was how to get rid of the leg. Why did he pick the most outlandish and comedic way of doing it? I'm pretty sure the answer is, "the writers wanted to have some fun with the case." I guess that's fair... It's like a bank heist movie where the robbers make their getaway in a clown car. Sure, it's not exactly unrealistic, and the movie can give a thorough explanation for that choice, but it's a little goofy, no? |
