I'm glad that I'm not the only reviewer who saw the whole "House" analogy in this anime. The way it started, with some very technical medical investigation will speak to those who has been in healthcare for any length of time. As it went on, it sorta turned into more of a cross between House and Bones with more of a focus on criminal investigation and less so on the medical. (Both House and Bones are great live action shows BTW.)
The characters are believable as are the situations that they find themselves in. Nothing supernatural. It's a short 12 episodes so it won't take long to get through it. It has a medium to low rewatch value. The voice acting was great and the animation was pretty standard.
If you like Aimer, then you will really appreciate the opening credits. The closing song i…

A fun show about a genius doctor who solves weird cases. The cases are split between things that happen in the hospital and actual criminal cases. Usually, they contain some kind of supernatural-looking element that ends up having a perfectly normal explanation after the case gets solved. For example, one of the cases is about a girl trying to commit suicide due to a cursed video.
I found the show comforting and easy to watch. It has mature themes, but it's not exactly high-stakes, and all the characters are pretty chill. The episodic nature of it lends itself to relaxation. It never stressed me out, because despite it dealing with death, the show constantly reassured me with the way Takao is able to think through everything.
The main character, Takao, is a brash genius that loves to wor…

I honestly adored this anime. It's more medically accurate than I expected, and as a 3rd year medical student, I really like watching medical stuff. Also, dr. Ameku is very autistic-coded, and as an autistic person, I adore that fact. She's a flawed character, she shows an inflated ego, she has many quirks, she's very determined, and I like that she isn't a perfect protagonist. We also get to see more of her sensitive side in the episodes in the pediatric ward, and it shows a lot about her motivations and her soft, caring heart. I also love that there's this mystery aspect in finding out the diagnoses and the circumstances of each case, I tried to play along and put together the pieces to figure it out!!
I think there's people that won't quite like this anime, but to me, it has become one…

this show is interesting i don't particularly love it, in general it feels more like Japanese medical scooby doo than house md but realistically it neither. talking generally its animation is OK to bad but the style is exceeding;y good when the effort is put in, sadly it suffers from lots of budget saving regulars (long sweeping shots, repeated frames,ect) while usually i don't tend to criticize this due to it being a budgeting issue i do criticize their choice of spreading the budget is as the op and eD are genuinely some of the best i`ve ever seen (so good its my pfp :3). the background music is good, sometimes forgettable but it always fits snug.
with the kind of review you've seen so far id say a 6 is too high, id agree but most of the merit comes from the arc on episode 8 and 9(i can…

Final Score : 7.7/10
Summary : Essentially House M.D. the anime, they took the base formula and vibe from the TV show and recreated it in anime. The first 80% of the show is absolute cinema, and the only thing that leads me to segment the show like that, is because the last arc kind of sucked and its ending also kind of sucked. I still am going to give it high marks, because while the ending is very important, I can't ignore the amazing journey to it.
Story : 8/10 -- I'm not sure I can say much other than its House M.D. because that describes everything. If you live under a rock and don't know what House M.D. is, fine. So basically House.. I mean this anime, is an arc based show where mysteries of strange illnesses thought to be something supernatural or not what it seems, gets investig…

Personally I really liked this show, but I'm quickly becoming obsessed with medical dramas in general and so in this sense the show was really made for me. The protagonist, Dr. Ameku Takao, is reminiscent of Sherlock Holmes (the first episode of the show being titled 'Dr. Sherlock) - though notably in particular the Sherlock from the modern BBC adaptation played by Benedict Cumberbact. She's also apparently reminiscent of, and likely also based upon, Dr. House, although I'm not familiar with that show and I think the modern Sherlock is a closer fit. The show follows Dr. Ameku and her assistant Tomoki as they investigate (and sometimes even attempt to help treat, when the patient isn't dead already when the mystery begins, which is most of the time) a series of unusual medical cases which v…

I enjoyed this anime more than I'd expected. I'm not a fan of detective stories, and, as a physician myself, I approach any medical fiction with caution since they often contain terrible mistakes etc. However, as I give lectures about how medical staff is portrayed in manga & anime, I had to watch "Ameku Takao" too.
I'm extremely satisfied with how the medical stuff is showed in Ameku. It's simply reliable, starting from proper CPR tempo. It also gives us some view on the personalities and simply lives of people who work in health care: we see that they are humans, too, and suffer, struggle, despair. Furthermore, as a psychiatrist, I'm deeply delighted with the main character and her neuropsychiatric traits (among all, Asperger syndrome) that is fantastically portrayed without giving it a…

As someone who is into mystery nowadays, this anime was right up in my alley. For the record, I thought this was okay. Watchable, at best. Now, I've been reading reviews on this one, and some have compared this to an American sitcom that was well-known bac in the 2000s called House M.D. While I would agree that the similarity is there. Hell, I've even seen someone's artwork that shows both Dr. Takao Ameku and Dr. Gregory House. Granted, I'd never seen House M.D. back then because I was young and not really into much of mystery nor anything Sherlock Holmes-esque around that time, but still respect it for what the show was. I do agree with some folks that it's odd to compare the two due to constructive viewpoints, but I do agree that both House and Ameku are just similar to one another. Odd…

This anime lacks direction. Its house meets CSI meets ancient aliens. Also the main character beyond arrogant, narcissist, and infuriating. She has no regard for her actions and the consequences that it might generate, she pretty much insufferable as possible. she nor the rest of the characters exhibit any sort of growth. For example, the main character is said to look like a child but gets irritated when she's reminded of that, however the way she acts never dissuade you of that notion. JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE IS A GENIUS DOES NOT MAKE THEM ALL KNOWING. They should have just kept it to a medical anime.

I think this anime was solid and was an interesting mystery anime. I would have given 8 if they didn't mess up their animation that terribly. This is a mystery anime and doesn't require high-quality animation but they have to put some effort into drawing. The character looked like some amateur artist drew. The animation was so bad I had a hard time focusing on the actual story and mystery. This anime was cool by mixing medical science and murder mystery and I would recommend it for people who like mystery. But this poor-quality animation gets to a point where you can't focus. If you are capable of not getting distracted by the poor animation, I think it is a decent anime to watch.

What if Dr. House and Sherlock Holmes had a love child, and that child grew up diagnosing rare diseases in Japan while simultaneously uncovering criminals?
Welcome to the over-the-top, doctor-by-day, detective-by-night world of Ameku Takao no Surui Karute, where medical drama meets Scooby-Doo.
The show absolutely delivers what it promises: wild, unpronounceable diseases diagnosed on gut instinct by a small, yappy doctor with a slight god complex — and diagnostic methods that range somewhere between actual medicine and anime-tier clairvoyance. Half the time you’re not sure if you’re watching a hospital drama or a supernatural mystery.
Ameku Takao and her team almost always manage to uncover some hidden clue and solve each case in ways you’d never think possible.
I now fear sneezing in publ…

As much as I wanted to like the premise it just failed to deliver what I believe it was going for, usually you would get a few hints here and there and figure out what might have happened, which is the fun part of medical dramas, but it just failed to keep a hold on that concept, you would get the mystery part, then Ameku has a Jimmy Neutron brain blast moment and she explaining everything by getting the gang together like it's some face reveal from Scooby Doo. To be fair it had it's moments like the museum dinosaur episode and..... the.... human combustion episode "insert Fire Force intro here", but outside of that since I don't know about any other anime that's in this genre it was cute.
Ameku was good, other than her having to look like a child and acting like one adding the part where…

The main character, Takao Ameku, the childlike doctor and genius diagnostician, is a less crochety House and a less drugged up Holmes, all packaged as a petite anime girl. Basically, ingredients for peak postmodern fiction.
The animation was sleek and above average. The voice acting work from the cast was on character and enhanced the storytelling. Of personal importance was a main character with a postgraduate degree, which implied at least post college age, and it had a mystery afoot, qualities I look in an anime for my age group.
The main character is a genius, but no Mary Sue, as she had her vulnerabilities explored in an excellent 2-episode arc. She made mistakes too, a genius that was humanly grounded.
So, if you have aged beyond the high school setting and main characters of mos…

Ameku Takao no Suiri Karte is essentially Sherlock Holmes, if Sherlock Holmes was a tsundere doctor. It is within the detective genre, and there's more of a focus of how Dr. Takao and her 'Watson', Kotori (Dr. Takanashi), investigate outside the hospital, rather than within. In spite of this, the characters use their expansive medical knowledge to find the secrets behind the cases.
Story-wise, the cases in question are all very well-written with interesting premises and shocking hidden twists. Some cases seem almost impossible to solve, but Dr. Takao always figures out a way. There is a lot of medical terminology thrown around, but a lot of it is defined or explained very clearly so that the viewer can understand what the doctors are talking about. In addition, being in a hospital setting…

The amount of hate this series is getting is frankly quite baffling, this is a good series for viewers that want intelligent content and proper story writing. Ameku Takao no Suiri Karte is actually a pretty underrated mix of mystery and medical drama. It follows Dr. Ameku, an intelligent but eccentric doctor who solves strange medical cases. Think of it like a mix between Sherlock and Dr. House—cold, blunt, but insanely sharp.
Each case is short and easy to get into, with just the right amount of medical details. It helps that the author has a medical doctorate/practicising doctor, so the medical stuff checks out.
My only critique is that Ameku’s partner or rather her apprentice, Dr. Kusaka, is not well fleshed out enough - but still a decent sidekick (who is able to physically fight an…

Recommended: For a specific audience looking for something to pass the time and not demanding, as it's about medical mysteries and their resolution; not a deep series with characters who show personal growth and a deep backstory. It also lacks very polished animation.
As we know, the loli Doctor Takao Ameku is in charge of the Investigative Pathology Department. People with ambiguous illnesses are brought to her ward, or she herself gets involved in police investigations, along with her sole resident Yuu "Kotori" Takanashi (or Little Bird), because in her words: "it's more interesting to uncover medical mysteries."
"I'm a genius and I would never make a mistake in a diagnosis."
In other words: it's the Doctor House of anime.
Like everything, it has its interesting episodes and its pass…

Ameku Takao no Suiri Karte earns an 8/10. Its unique approach lies in Dr. Takao's sharp diagnostic deductions, making the case solving process the engaging core, even if the medical mystery setup isn't entirely new. The clean art style perfectly fits the clinical yet intriguing atmosphere. Takao herself is presented as exceptionally intelligent, which is her main strength; character reactions generally feel appropriate for the situations presented within the show's logic. The fantastic OP is a definite plus! While the story starts strong, the ending, despite maintaining intrigue, felt somewhat less satisfying. Recommended for mystery fans seeking clever problem solving; others will likely enjoy Takao's unique deductive methods for a good watch.

It’s often assumed that the first detective in literature was Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes who made his debut in 1887, but that was some 46 years after Auguste Dupin made his one-off debut in Edgar Allen Poe’s “The Murders in the Rue Morgue”. Both would have dramatic influence on the genre for years to come, with Dame Agatha Christie’s Hercule Poirot following in the same design for a brilliant detective with a practical associate who serves as our way into the main story. These names also were made famous in television, as Columbo and Quincy achieved fame in the 1970s with those like Jessica Fletcher of “Murder, She Wrote” coming soon after, with the manga/anime genre adding Conan Edogawa later as names like Horatio Caine, Gil Grissom, and even Dr. Gregory House bringing us up…

The whole plot feels a lot like House MD, but instead of an old grumpy man, we get an arrogant, tiny anime girl! I haven’t watched much of House MD, but this anime is mostly focused on murder mysteries. As someone who is somewhat well-versed in human physiology and medicine, I found it fairly enjoyable. I liked trying to figure out the mysteries and the crazy situations using only the limited information provided.
I also love Takao’s character design. However, I feel like in some cases, the show deliberately hides key information or gives misleading clues, making it impossible to figure out what’s going on before Takao reveals it. That said, since I don’t usually watch mystery or detective anime/shows, this felt fresh to me. For others, it might just be another detective show with a small…

Ameku Takao no Suiri Karte is a mystery masked as a medical anime. If you love mysteries, you will surely enjoy this series. Each mystery is elegantly solved with medical terminology, making it a unique blend of genres that stands out.
Don’t fret about the technical aspects—everything is explained in a way that keeps it enjoyable, even for those unfamiliar with medical jargon. The medical mysteries are fun while carrying serious undertones, which adds a layer of intrigue to each episode.
Some of the mysteries have real stakes, think life and death, which heightens the tension and keeps you invested. There’s even a hint of romance between the two main characters, stemming from their natural chemistry. It becomes increasingly obvious that they gradually end up caring deeply for each other,…
