Kuuchuu Buranko - anime review

The story of a psychiatrist doctor and his patients suffering through various disorders and addictions. Simple story, weird animation and a life lesson you need to hear today.

Story:
Psychiatrist Irabu Ichiro has it's own way of not only treating people's mental defects but also giving them a life lesson on who they really are and what is actually important. With his assistant Mayumi and horse injections filled with strange yellow liquid, they let your biggest weakness appear in form of an animal head.
Your problem won't get solved so magically - it's on you to change your life, your fate and yourself.

[Irabu is so ridiculous, I love them]

Characters:
Kooky Irabu-sensei, sexy Mayumi, yellow canaries and of course 10 patients.
Of course, Irabu and Mayumi would be the main character, but really... Aren't we all the main characters of our own story? That is the feeling I got when watching this.
Tagged with 'episodic' there were a lot of moments in the show when the characters' paths crossed (even though they might not have realized it).
Honorable mentions:
Shinchi Bando - played by Daisuke Namikawa 💕
Fukuicchi - once you get used to him, you'll miss him

    

Life lessons I took from various patients:

Mitsuo Tanabe - Don't forget about your elders. They have amazing stories to tell and you will want to hear them.
Eiyu Tsuda - Take a deep breath and look around yourself. We all need to take a break and be with those we love.
Tatsurou Ikeyama - Never change yourself for anyone. People that love you, will love you just the way you are.
Yoshio Iwamura - Be yourself and use it for your advantage.

    
--> me ready for ugly crying, but not being there just yet

Music:
10/10. The opening and ending were taken down but honestly, this stuff slaps. I am playing it on repeat.
As for the soundtrack... yeah, it was all right. I doubt that you'd notice it, given all the unusual stuff happening around.

Animation:
You either love it, or hate it. Similar to Marmite, haha. For me, the animation was a pass. It was probably what made me want to finish quickly.
At first, it was a huge shock to see all the real life faces and Mayumi was a big question mark... but in the end, you accepted it for what it was.

    

Entertainment value:
7/10.
Good characters, some good storylines, great morale of the story, ridiculous moments... All good things.
You have fun trying to make out something important for yourself each episode, which is also a big plus.
Animation, art style, mix of real life and anime... those are my cons.

Conclusion:
Suffer through the first episodes and then ugly cry. Or not. We all are different. And we all have our own place in this world that only belongs to us.
Fuku- Sen out.
