Kai Byoui Ramune 5y1nv

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 fantastic, and the story is just wholesome. I'd absolutely love a season 2, but I doubt that'd be in the cards.

If you just need an anime to unwind and make you feel better, this is for you! <3

"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 the fascination for food (glorious food), which serves as the main catalyst towards these "mysterious diseases" of illnesses that are nothing more causal than dealing with the ordinary human's psychological issues of mental disorders from stress to depression. And to be honest, it can go 1001 ways and feel tiresome, but it's interesting to see these issues being tackled with the weirdness of inferring through food. It's quite the entrancing charm though, mixing the fun and easy environment in what is supposed to be a dark and heavy setting, and both MCs Ramune and Kuro conspicuously consuming the "food-of-the-week" relating to the episodic nature of the story.

In shows like these where you'll encounter the "Master and Apprentice" setting, it's often a gimmick that one will play off as the funny guy and the other a serious one, and it's no different here. Dr. Ramune, more than just a weirdo on the outside, he's more of the witty person who tries to play it off as the funny guy most of the time, but when the situation calls for it, he's down to the task and to the T, istering the right medicine for the various occurrences of patients' body parts being replaced or prescribed by food. His assistant, Kuro (or Shorty / Chibi), is more of the serious boy, whom like other patients suffering under mysterious illnesses, got the attention of the doctor when he ran away from home from disbelief, and subsequently the know-how of Ramune managed to cure him, and he's been stuck with him ever since. These two definitely shared a bond over food, that's for sure.

The other characters which ensue the "Mysterious Item Shop Akatsuki" are Grandma Ayame and shopkeeper Nico, with the exception being Momiji, Ramune's master. Don't be fooled by Ayame's childlike body and looks, she's well over 100 years old and seemingly has memories of her past life. Other than that, she's the maker of the "mysterious items" that Ramune constantly uses to deal with patients that have these "mysterious illnesses", alongside Nico whom is blind and has to rely on his other superhuman senses with exceptional accuracy. In the case of Momiji, the master whom the apprentice is afraid of, Ramune's just being exploited by Momiji's terrifying looks that are reminiscent of a mix of Muzan with Luffy's Gomu Gomu powers (plus the voice of Sukuna), so much so that he develops a fear of trauma, but in actual fact, all that Ramune needs to do is to trust in him. Another case of weirdo nutcases, but it helps giving the small character cast a bit of diversity.

As usual, Platinum Vision's visuals may be hit-or-miss, but after watching recent shows made by the studio in the veins of Kono Oto Tomare! (of what I consider to be the studio's Magnum Opus), this is back to those levels of drawing a fine line between decent and good art and animation, so really, nothing much to complain about.

Being a King Records production in the music space for Sunday night shows (in Japan), I already knew what kind of music I was going to expect and experience: some great poppin' beats music, and it's what I got from Yuuma Uchida's peppy and very catchy OP that's worth the listen with some dancing, definitely not disappointed at all. saji's ED is also a very fitting song for closures, as is with the whole feeling of the anime with its mix of supernatural and psychological conundrums. One Easter Egg worth noting is that Momiji is voiced by Junichi Suwabe, the same VA who did Jujutsu Kaisen's Sukuna, as is the MC Ramune by Yuuma Uchida himself.

This show is definitely a weird one to say, and it won't please anyone looking for a rich story with deep characters. With that said, if you're content with watching ordinary people deal with ordinary problems, then this is the show for you. It isn't so much a dull prose, though it certainly gives of the feeling of being one.

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 the story, but for this anime, there isn't much need. There are still little touches and connections between episodes, especially in the final episode.

Usually something so strange may end up being something you can't take seriously, but I felt there was a good balance between both in this anime. Shame it's over now, but I definitely enjoyed this a lot and can only hope more people come across this hidden gem.

It's a cool anime to watch if you're bored and want to see some creepy stories. But the characters and the plot is weak. And confuse, sometimes. Reminds me XXX Holic, but not so scared and mysterious, more simple. You don't really understand the characters, because you don't know them. You just see how they act in some situation, but their personality isn't explored. Kuro is just an antisocial boy, quiet the most part of the time, while Ramune... try to be the funny guy, but at the same time the creepy one. And this detail just... didn't match.
But, I'm giving it a 6 ... because i really liked the soundtrack, and the voice acting is great too.
P.s. btw sorry for the bad English...

The world is full of weird, supernatural, and--well frankly--out of this world illness that can not be described by modern medical practice. Depending on how the illness becomes, there may be many suggestions as to how it would be stuck to a person (namely curse).

This Anime does its job describing the origin of 'mysterious illness' and shows how humans deal with it while at the end of the day you can truly only cure it of the root cause. It is a causality rule which humans often forget exist.

to be honest, it really isn't something to be proud of, good enough art, good enough sound, ... but sadly the characters are not what most people would find relatable, where ironically that's what Kuro was meant to be, the viewer's representation inside the Anime.

Yes, it doesn't really consider many things that would be factoring how the Anime would be perceived but in the least, it is a good watch while having an Internal Reflection on how we've been living off of our environment.

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 individual tastes and preferences in anime. If you're intrigued by the combination of supernatural elements and medical themes, and enjoy episodic storytelling with unique cases, it might be worth giving the anime a try.

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 they would have much to offer.

Really enjoying watching this right now... I really needed some laughs. Since the first episode, I've been totally hooked. It is funny, psychological, mysterious, and heartwarming (sometimes)!

The characters are funny and the problems they deal with are real life problems a lot of people have. It reminds me a lot of Bunny girl senpai, because they turn real problems into a supernatural situation, and it allows people to connect to the people in the story

Overall, I think it has a very entertaining art style and storyline, as well as interesting personalities the characters possess. I'm excited to see where this leads and how the story ... progresses!

This anime is soooo good!! I liked it a lot <3 i addicted to this anime since the first ep come out. The way Ramune sensei struggle to solve his patients disease is very good. With kuro as his assistant, they just not healing them but also teach them a lesson cuz yeah some of the disease came with a bad habits. Totally recommend it. This anime teach us a very good lesson about mental issues 😌👍 whoever feel stressed you guys should check out this anime. And yeahh the op and ed itself is very great 👍 the ed song is very touching you ... know 😭❤️ I hope someday ramune sensei can change kuro attitude cuz he's just too cold. I liked the characters too. Each one of them have a special ability. 10/10 so far. Maybe I gave the rating to this anime is very high but what can I do I love this anime so so sooo much.

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.. 🙂

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 .

I understand the other reviews when they say that the show is a bit immature and cliché but it's only in the beginning. I think it's still pretty good but it gets better later on; the topic gets darker and even though the show overall is more of a comedy genre, the meaning behind the myterious objects and the causes of the sicknesses are actually deeper and it talks about real life problems.

So I would recommend watching until the episode 5 (at the moment there are only 6 episodes) because it really gets you hooked on at this point.

At the beginning I was ... only watching because the art is pretty good and the story was really unexpected ( kind of weird but in a funny way) but I'm really enjoying the story so far.

The characters are not out of the ordinary but for some reason they are quite likeable. Maybe it's because the two are polar opposite but have a good chemistry. Also the comedy scenes are simple, they don't try too hard to make it funny because the main character is just dumb so it goes well with the story.

The doctor Ramune is not a genius, but he is very competent and does his best to solve the issues altough his methods are a bit questionnable sometimes lol but everything ends well.

His assistant Kuro is very smart but he is still learning about the mysteries unlike in other shows where some characters understand everything and are able to find a solution without having any experience.

The relationship between the two is funny; Kuro is mature for his age and takes care of Ramune who is a bit of an unreasonable guy. There are some times where he acts a bit like a kid which I think is cute. It might be a bit cliché but it makes us focus more on the storyline which I think is good and I have a feeling we will get to learn more about them in the episodes.


As another reviewer said, I also think that the mysterious objects represent an "easy way out" of the problems that actually don't solve the real issues. To solve an issue you need to find out how it started, how other people must have felt, ask yourself if what you did was the reason behind it and confont the root of it all. It's not about finding something that would make it easier for you because most of the time the problem concerns yourself and another person.

The anime sends a strong message in a light way that makes it easy to understand for kids, teenagers or even adults.

I think we often forget that the way we act can have consequences and that we should think before acting. It can hurt yourself and others.

In conclusion, it's a short funny yet deep anime that makes you look at life in a different point of view. It's a good anime to watch if you have a little bit of free time

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 us through unexpectedly heavy subjects, as you'll realize in the very first episode. Every character has to face and overcome the cause of their stress or trauma in order for them to be cured, with the help and guidance of that seemingly empty headed "doctor", who often understands them more than they understand themselves. A "doctor" who is ready to do a lot more than he should perhaps to help the ones in need.

Next to that, you also have the beauty of the supernatural items and the shop that sells them, further introducing us to the "lore" of the world, making it more interesting and fairy tale- esque. These episodes are also more toned down& that compliments the "case" ones which have a more serious tone.
Regarding those items, I really enjoyed how they were described as using you instead of you using them. There is a price for everything, but its definitely not monetary. How much are you willing to give to save someone you love? Will you pay a high price to hide from the issue, knowing it’ll turn around & bite you later? I really liked these small questions they create, along with the fact that knowledge& wisdom can allow you to go further without suffering the loss that a desperate person using them would pay. Everything has its cost, but knowledge can help you get the right coins.

Overall, its not too heavy, extravagant or funny, but it definitely manages to make you care about the characters and the cases they get involved in and enjoy the outcome! This isn’t something extravagant, but not all shows manage to do it successfully without falling flat and becoming boring at times. That’s what puts this above any other "just good" anime for me.

If that sounds interesting to you, maybe give it a go!

I'll start by saying that I've been going through anime burnout (my fault lol) to the point where most anime don't even interest me anymore. I was skeptical of this anime but after watching up to ep. 11 I ed how much I love anime.

From the reviews, I know people might've had problems with episode 2, but I'll remind everyone that this isn't a romance anime. I would like to go into more detail about episode 2 but I think people should decide for themselves on how they view it. But it definitely shouldn't stop people from continuing the season.

Obviously, the story isn't perfect ... and it might not be for everyone since the concept of the anime is quite out there. But each episode conveys real problems that people go through almost everyday and a unique way of how to deal with these said problems.

This is an anime that tries to say "Your stress and problems aren't meant to be pushed away and buried within you but for you to grow from them." Viewers get to see Dr. Ramune help people face the truths of what is bothering his patients that medical doctors can't really fix. For me, I know i'll have soft spot for this show since it reminded me the reason I'm so invested in anime but from an unbiased standpoint, this show deserves more credit than it gets.

I think this anime is pretty enjoyable. The summary sounded pretty good so I gave it a try. It's nothing super intense but it has some nice small stories with the doctor and his assistant being the consistent characters.

It pretty much goes through various problems that people face and how their choices/things that have caused them stress have impacted their body physically. These choices/stress could be conscious, they just don't realize how it impacts them, or unconscious/stress so they don't even know what's causing their problem.

This anime deserves a higher rating than what it's at, but hey, people have their own tastes in anime, ... right? I think the phycological tag probably made people expect more, but it does make sense for it to be in that category.

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.

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 in victim blaming. A woman who experiences delusions can visit him, and he won't say something like "you're crazy!", but he will do his best to help in his own off the wall ways. There are some truly horrific scenarios presented in this anime, from the loss or endangerment of loved ones, to an actual cult, and these establish the stakes of the episode. Even so, I always felt hope that Dr. Ramune would find a way to prevail at the end of the story.

The series also balances humour and seriousness well, making sure not to punch down on the victims of tragic events, many of whom are children. Episode 2 is an exception to this rule, but said patient really isn't all that sympathetic anyways and it really is just completely off the wall not resembling anything in reality. A lot of the humour comes from Dr. Ramune's strange behaviours and how he interacts with Kuro. By contrast to the zany doctor, Kuro is very deadpan, and makes a great comedic foil to our protagonist.

The art style is very vivid and unique. Every character is designed with such care, there's no "same face" issue even among characters who are related. The colour palette is very vivid and matches whatever mood the scene is going for, sometimes making you feel like you're on another planet, though the setting is earth. The music is great, the theme song just makes you want to get up and dance while also representing many moments in the show.

Overall, it's amazing how this show is so dark, but also so full of hope and fun. While I know that some of the traumas characters face will make this story in essence not something everyone can consume or enjoy, for what it's worth, I loved it a lot and hope more people will check it out.

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.

Dr. Ramune is about a guy who specializes in supernatural diseases. Most of them materialize in some sort of food related symptoms, for example the first Patient is a girl who cries stuff like Ketchup, Soy Sauce or Mayonaise - but not real tears.


It's kinda episodic and quirky, not standing out too much but a little above average.

It's also not about punishing evil people or getting closure about the circumstances - A dude cheats on his 7 girlfriends, but that's his business, not the Doctor's. The doctor just cures.

What realy stands out for me is the sound design. It's mostly string instruments like ... Violins and Violas, but boy does it sound good.

So if you want some great music to your little above average supernatural Anime, watch this. 9/10 Music.


Overall I think it's a nice Anime to watch, if you like supernatural stuff and drama. 7/10

Kai Byoui Ramune's put simply, an episodic anime that features a "supernatural mysterious disease of the week." it's decent if you want to time, but it's just a bit too simple.
The character dynamic between the doctor and the assistant get really stale, and the character with the "disease of the week" really don't have much of a unique personality. There's a clear understanding by the doctor as to why they are afflicted with the disease. Basically, the afflicted person always has this one large mental problem with their personal lives that they have to solve and Ramune essentially gives them the push and resolve ... to do so. The problem I have with this format is that the "problem" is so obvious and there isn't much of any analysis into a person's psyche. It's just, someone's doing something wrong, and their mysterious disease gives them a hint as to what they're doing wrong, and they have to resolve this issue before it gets out of hand.
I wish that each case was more complicated, and instead of one case per episode, to build up a case, why not have 2-3 episodes dedicated to one disease so that we can actually have a more in depth analysis on any given person? Instead, we're given just enough information about any given patient and have them go through the cycle of gathering the resolve to fix their own situation, which of course, is also quite formulaic.
It's not a particularly "dark" show as far as I'm aware, as there's only good resolutions for the most part. It would be much more satisfying and give a more layer of mysteriousness so that the conclusion isn't always a peaceful resolution. I can't for the life of me the name the manga this was, but I read a very similar episodic manga, where people were given supernatural items with drawbacks, just like in this show. However, in that manga, the ending wasn't always good for the people receiving the item. Rather, it was dependent on their moral scale and decisions as to degree of the end result. If they chose bad decisions, they could die. Other times, they chose correctly, and nothing happened to them.
I'm not saying that this show has to adopt my suggestion, but there definitely has to be something that gives it the "oomph" that it unfortunately lacks for me to consider watching this particular episodic anime.
