Ameku M.D.: Doctor Detective

In an effort not to fall any further behind, here's Ameku M.D.: Doctor Detective, an anime that I tried an episode of last night.

It's basically House meets anime, teaming up with the police (sort of), if House was a short, female doctor with too much attitude who looks a bit like a teenager and the Watson of the group is a tall, sturdy, dependable doctor with dark hair.

I...didn't love it. I mean, I love mystery type things but I really didn't care for the Dr. lady much. She's needlessly abrasive, doesn't actually seem to care about patients -- just satisfying her curiosity. The junior doctor was a much nicer character. 

And the mystery begun in the first episode involves her postulating that a Tyrannosaurus Rex bit off a guy's leg and killed him. Like, wtf? It seemed a bit too out there for what the show was billing itself to be. It does have a decent rating on Crunchyroll, so I may try another episode to see if grabs me at all, but I'm very meh over it and there's a lot of other untried shows out there.
