i really loved it, but -1 point for having a loli character. although i've grown to just accept it because you really can't escape pedophilic and/or incestuous themes in japanese media.
the plot was good and well-paced enough for me to watch all 12 episodes in one sitting, which rarely happens for me because i'm adhd.
it's been about 4 years now so it's very unlikely, but i'm hoping this gets a second season!
if you're looking for something similar to this, i highly recommend morose mononokean. very similar theme (but instead of "mysterious" it's yokai) and similar characters (except the personalities of the master and apprentice are flipped lol).

This anime honestly feels like a very good combination of slice of life meets the mysterious. The anime was very calm and had certain qualities that feel not expressed well like the comedy. It's older and gave it everything I think it could. Not disappointing in the slightest with its characters being easy to understand with good character development. If this anime had a dub it would have been a show I throughly would have enjoyed. Its story is good and killer music that is a non stop vibe made the final episodes really easy to watch. For everything I saw it met and surpassed my expectations, interesting enough for me to keep watching, memorable story but it did not have what the greatest anime have because of how characters are expressed and the voice acting being ok, nothing special but…

Kai Byoui Ramune" is an anime that blends elements of the supernatural with medical themes, featuring a mysterious doctor named Ramune who specializes in curing supernatural illnesses. The episodic nature of the series, with each episode focusing on a different case, allows for a variety of creative and unique scenarios.
The anime has been both praised and criticized. Some viewers appreciated the imaginative and unconventional approach to medical cases, as well as the exploration of emotional aspects tied to these supernatural illnesses. On the other hand, some criticism was directed towards inconsistent storytelling, varying quality in cases, and subjective preferences for character designs and animation.
Ultimately, whether someone enjoys "Kai Byoui Ramune" would depend on their indivi…

If you've read a bad review about this anime, I can say after reading them, they are wrong and inaccurate.
Dr Ramune is a compelling selfless character who is not afraid to express himself while brimming with sympathy for his patients. At his core, he wants to understand his patients so he can properly cure them from the mysterious disease while simultaneously mending any messed up happenings to those characters. It feels authentically human, wholesome, and relaxing.
This anime has many clever ingenious moments where your mind is blown while at the same time has diverse creative elements put into it. I'm very intrigued by the various mysterious items and their effects and would love to see and know more. The way this anime's plot is handled is fleshing out the world afflicted with myst…

This is a very good anime that focuses on dealing with a lot of issues. everything has a deeper meaning to it for example those mysterious tools are probably referring to solutions that work in the short term but not in the long run and instead of looking for quick fixes we must try and solve the problem from its root. Every disease is due to a certain event that has left the person psychologically distressed or disturbed . I can see why some people might have an issue with the anime but I would say it is a pretty good anime .
It has both a fun and easy going theme along with a dark and heavy theme at times. So overall I would say if you are looking for a good 12 episode psychological genre anime to watch , go for it .

A very funny and wholesome anime with some serious moments. The plot was predictable from the plot synopsis but still entertained me and got me addicted to watching it fast. The mysterious disease felt like an offshoot from the puberty syndrome from bunny girl senpai but it was unique in its own way from the spiritual Japaneses culture it deprives from. The characters all have their circumstances and are likable. They all have their issues which causes them to have the mysterious disease and are resolved. They relate to real life matters. I especially like our MC Ramune, he was funny and I liked his personality. The only problem I had with this anime is that it felt like a lot of other anime that had the same old repetition of introducing a new character and new problem. I don dislike but…

What's truly mysterious is how this gem managed to fly under everyone's radar!
Dr. Ramune: Mysterious Disease Specialist follows the titular Dr. Ramune and his loyal assistant Kuro, as they help their patients with their issues. These aren't traditional diseases, rather they are the "mysterious", a spiritual sort of sickness that can play tricks on your body based on internal issues you may have. These manifest in strange ways, such as crying It may seem like an episodic affair at first with the exception of two-parters, but events and characters from previous stories do play a role later down the line.
I think what was really important about this anime is that even though these are fictional diseases and thus no real conditions are namedropped, Dr. Ramune is a doctor that doesn't deal i…

*names written last/first
"Dr. Ramune -Mysterious Disease Specialist-" is a fun and lighthearted anime that doesn't require much thinking to enjoy it. It also doesn't require a lot of words to review it.
Every episode - especially in the first half of the series - wraps up neatly with a bow, although there is an overarching plot that becomes more prevalent towards the end.
The wholesome friendships that form throughout the series is the highlight of the show, along with the colourful, whimsical character designs and mysterious diseases we're introduced to.
If you're looking for a simple and humourous show that won't make you malfunction with too much information to keep track of, but is just wacky and emotional enough to keep your brain stimulated, this is the one for…

It lived up to it's name of mysterious diseases, that's for sure!
Ramune and Kuro are both super interesting and Kuro is especially loveable. He totally lives up to the cool guy vibe!
The diseases in each episode are delightfully weird and different, as are his treatment methods. I loved his standard trope of giving them a shortcut method, which doesn't work out, and then they have to just face up to the actual issue.
The first episode illness was actually the most boring, and most ridiculous, i thought, and it only gets better from there. The dynamic between Ramune and his teacher is hilarious, and his reconciliation with his own methods of treatment was surprisingly heartwarming. Also, I loved Kuro's story best!
It's an anime I would definitely recommend, it super fun and enjoyable,…

Karma. This is the first word that comes in mind after watching this anime. The second is that its the love child of mushi shi and death parade.
This show has very distinguished, almost independent one or two episode "arcs". Despite that, it manages to be coherent and have a beginning, middle& end which is always appreciated.
Based on the story, there is a paranormal energy that exists in the world. If someone is under very stressful circumstances, it'll get the chance to inhibit them and cause paranormal -and rather absurd- "illnesses". With that ruse, we see some cases of these absurd illnesses. What caught me by surprise was the very solid reasoning behind every almost comical effect of them.
The main characters are fleshed out beautifully through the short run of the show, navigating…

While not outstanding in all categories, this show is perfectly acceptable. I liked the unique concept. I've been so sick of all the generic isekai, romcom, and sports anime recently, this seems like a nice change in pace. I like the idea of the mysterious diseases, although them all being food-related made me somewhat uncomfortable. It's never really explained as to why they are all food-related. It was not really what I was expecting when I started the show. It follows a sort of monster-of-the-week formula with diseases instead. There isn't really an overarching plot. For the most part, you just take things as they come. It feels refreshing to not have to really think super hard about how everything fits into the story. It becomes slightly more complex when Ramune's master is introduced,…

Review of kai byoui ramune anime episode 12:
Its now the last episode, episode 12, and its good.. in this episode, ramune was bothered by what his master told him.. "as a doctor, u should maintain a proper distance between urself and ur patients", which is also right and very normal.. but looking back at his past cases, all cases were ranging from mild to extreme, thus there are cases which only he could solve.. and its a good thing kuro is also there almost every time, if he wasnt, the patients wouldnt have been fully cured.. then to show their appreciation for their savior, they will always lend a hand to him if ever he needs it, specially with kuro who almost died cuz of his stubborness and disbelief.. anyways, i rate the anime a 4.5 out of 5, 4.5 for both story and art.. 🙂

To begin with, I'm awarding Dr. Ramune a silver medal for having actual psychiatry no matter how diluted/the fact that there were just brief moments of the actual practitioners. Communication Kills is a real thing in anime and in one that highlights the dangerous manifestations of stress, I'm forever grateful that Ramune /talks/ to people and encourages his patients to do the same.
In all honesty, I started Dr. Ramune with the thought that "oh he looks pretty dumb, this'll be chill". But I was wrong, Dr. Ramune the man, the myth, the legend, is an upstanding practitioner and I owe him my thanks for 6 hours of entertainment and feelings.
The story is SOLID. Character motivations are spelled out in a truly enlightening way, and Dr. Ramune himself is nothing short of a Good, Good Man. I am…

I'm not usually one to leave a review for anime I've seen, I tend to just personally arrange my thoughts on something and leave it there, but I feel like this was underrated this season. It certainly isn't on par to a lot of big anime, old or new, that may be airing, but I definitely found myself enjoying every episode that had aired.
Following the translation of the name, "Dr. Ramune: Mysterious Disease Specialist," it certainly lives up to it. The diseases for each character were unique, and although they were mysterious, they were superbly weird. The ways to cure the patients were also interesting to watch, and I liked that the items were temporary fixes, whereas the disease itself had to be cured by facing the way it initially occurred. There wasn't really any specific direction for t…

I will absolutely die on the hill that Ramune is a great anime!
Its based around Dr. Ramune who helps treat patients with mysterious diseases. Such as having dumplins for ears, throwing up black sand, and crying condiments. Is that bizarre? Absolutely. Did I shed tears in this anime? Absolutely.
What if there were supernatural phenomeon that involved your body and how you handle stress/pain/obsession? If you won't listen to your own anxiety, maybe crying soy sauce would help you get the message faster? Help you understand what your body and health are screaming at you to realize.
This kind, somehwhat eccentric, and absolutely goes beyond his job description DOCTOR can help you with.
Its a fun, sweet show and I'm very happy I picked it up. The stories are realistic, the characters are…

The 'mystery' genre brought my attention to this anime. It has no genre in extremes.
All the genres like Comedy, Mystery, School, Sci-Fi, Psychological, Supernatural, and Shounen are in an equal mixture, which makes this anime special.
Even though the diseases mentioned are not real-like, the cause of the disease shows the different kinds of psychological mindset or pressure a person in real life can have.
Every episode will make you laugh as well and to wait for the next episode. The 'standing out from other anime' thing is the sound. The mixture of violin, guitar, etc are the best.
I really recommend this for the people who like Psychological and Mystery genre.

The story was pretty unique but if 10th and 11th episodes could have been aired as 2nd and 3rd episode and some changes in accordance to that have been mad the rating of this show could have improved.
There are still some unanswered questions like why the nail clipper didn't respond to Ramune and the way sounds and design was showed it piqued my curiosity which remained unanswered till the end of the show.
The apprentice and master relationship was really hilarious and I really enjoyed it.
The 112year old grandma concept was also great and the look of perversion on her face were really hilarious and enjoyable.
The ending was quite good and it justifies the way anime ends and I can really call that the anime ended in good sense.
More episodes will be surely welcomed but personally i don't t…

"Do you feel like you're experiencing psychological problems that are of the supernatural realm, that no ordinary doctor nor medicine can cure, and most importantly, the output concerned is in regards to food? Then come right along to the shrine clinic of Dr. Ramune: Mysterious Disease Specialist, where he'll help you cure your illness of "mysterious diseases" in the most "lactose intolerance" way! Without his treatment, you'll be supernaturally and psychologically cursed for life! So seek out Dr. Ramune and head down to his mysterious clinic near you!"
...is how easy the marketing is for this weird but seemingly enjoyable show. Even the doctor himself has a food (or drink, specifically) for a name.
Mainly an episodic "food-of-the-week" fantasy comedy series, mangaka Aho Toro has quite th…
