Oh lord watching this raw is awesome and a mistake since I have NO BLOODY IDEA whats going on but I cant stop watching it!!
The animation of the nurse from 2-D to live action is amazing even though its quick I relly liked it. Paku's vers is the best imho (not biased what so ever!)

Incredibly beautiful and original, but not very engaging for me. But since I didn't understand everything that was said, I'll wait for subs and more episodes to make a better judgment. In any case, Paku Romi is godly.
FTV, if you don't mind a brilliantly sentimental young-shoujo show with Shugo Chara overtones, about a girl becoming a pastry-maker, I'm enjoying Yumeiro Patissiere. Brought tears to my eyes several times. White Album is a complex love/lust/anomie idol drama centred on college-age protagonists. Kimi ni Todoke is from the top shoujo romance manga of 2008, and has an interesting protagonist, although it is set in high school. Winter Sonata is the anime version of the top Asian tragic romance drama ever. Darker than Black 2 is sci-fi mystery/adventure, with quite minimal fanservice.

The first story wasn't all that mind-blowing, but I did like the template it set up. Seems like it'll be following an episodic format, with each episode being its own case study. I could get used to this, but I'm hoping the following episodes will dive deeper into psychosis and come up with more gripping clinical tales than the first one.

Hmm, I agree with Kirarakim on this one.
I like it, but the first episode wasn't really good at SELLING the product. The pacing is a little wierd, kinda discombobulated and jumpy in a disorganized kind of way. Naturally, Mononoke and this require different styles of pacing but Mononoke felt more in control. Irabu's various manifestations are interesting but are wierd cause there is little story logic (I guess cause I haven't read the books) If the craziness and funky art doesn't hook ya, I don't see people being into this. Me I generally liked it and the next ep should have some nice gags and odd bits, it just doesn't feel like it's 100% there direction wise. I'll stick around just cause it's stylish. Mayumi isn't bad incentive either. Finally, while the OP is good the ED is fantabulous! |

I'll say...unique describes this best.
Some of the visuals were impressive. The rotoscoping I guess it is. It is somewhat similar to the American movie Waking Life. Unfortunately, for most of the time when they weren't overlaying live footage, the animation quality was horrendous. I think some of it was intended to be unusual, but really just came across as poorly done. Besides the parts that were obviously bizarre, the normal animation was lacking as well. The story was alright but nothing too impressive for me. It seemed like the show was trying too hard to be trippy that it didn't really seem artistic. If it were a movie, I'd probably stick it out, but I don't think I care to watch eleven episodes of this. |

I can see why youd say that. I know I can't expect great animation from every show, but I had more faith in Nakamura after seeing his consistantly high caliber of work on Mononoke. I am hoping that a couple of nicely animated eps are in here now and then
It's hard for me to articulate, but something needs to change in their storytelling otherwise, yes i'll tire of the overcompensation. |

Plot: Irabu Ichiro is an eccentric psychiatrist. Patients, who visit him to have a counseling, are perplexed with his weird behavior. http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/ency...e.php?id=10953 Just saw the first episode. Don't let the trippy visuals scare you off, the first episode was pretty damn good. Anyone who enjoys alternative anime should give this series a chance... you'll find it to be a pleasant surprise.

Brilliant first episode. It had everything i expected and then some. Great score, though it would have been so much better if this show had a score by Denki Groove.
So people know what i'm on about, here's the official video for the ED, by Denki Groove. Best character is Fukuicchi. & this show is worth watching just for Paku Romi.

I loved the episode. I love loads of experimental titles.
I was lol as soon as I heard the Gundam reference. Nurse and injection fetish was fun too. It's a keeper. @Slice of Life: Come back, it's a fun title so far imo.

HelllOOOO Nurse!
That was just wonderful and strange. I loved it. It's really good that there are still people out there prepared to be so experimental with anime rather than just churning out moe moe harem #4791.
Seriously looking forward to seeing how the show develops. |

Well, there is a story there, but it doesn't work for me at all.
Weirdness is fine, but it should have some kind of meaning. I can understand the citizens being paper cutouts, but why is the doctor sometimes a lttle girl and sometimes an older girl? Why the animal suit? Why is the patient sometimes a bird head? A flyer? Perhaps these things will become clearer later, but I won't see them. Enjoy!

Nice episode indeed. I'm curious how they'll manage the rest.
