Line 50:
* [[Twelve-Episode Anime|Eleven Episode Anime]]
* [[Epiphany Therapy]]: An odd example, but it's definitely there. Rather, there are no loud, spectacular epiphanies, but the psychological problems seem to just quietly stop existing. Keep in mind each patient sees Irabu for, at most, a week, and we've been dealing with deep-seated stuff like obsessive-compulsive disorder and dissociative identity disorder. The series finale has an interesting example of epiphany therapy in that {{spoiler|Irabu seems to just manually ''extract'' Hideo Tsuda's neurosis}}.
** Though mostly averted in episode 8... {{spoiler|As the patient's [[Epiphany (trope)|epiphany]] was more about learning how to deal with his OCD in the long run, and it's noted that instant cures do ''not'' always happen.}}
* [[Evil Laugh]]: While Irabu is not evil per se, he definitely laughs like this.
* [[Expressive Mask]]: Irabu's mascot bear head, occasionally.
Line 97:
* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]]: Mayumi.
* [[Theme Tune Cameo]]: The anime uses instrumental mixes of various famous [[Denki Groove]] tunes, including the anime's opening, "Upside Down", as its soundtrack.
* [[Trickster Mentor|Trickster]]/[[Stealth Mentor|Stealth]] Doctor: The closest one can come to describing Irabu. Half the time he drives his patients up the wall with his childish antics and hair-brained folk cures. The other half of the time he gives advice to the patients to take self-centered actions. All of this usually is intended for the patients to eventually reach an [[Epiphany (trope)|epiphany]] and help them help themselves.
** This Troper would go so far as to say that Dr. Irabu's therapy consists of a combination of placebos (the infamous Vitamin Shots) and essentially encouraging his patients to embrace their inner child or at least their true feelings {{spoiler|to the point of being a blatant enabler for this in the fourth and fifth episodes}}.
* [[Unusually Uninteresting Sight]]: Apparently Irabu does not stand out at all compared to all the normal-looking people around him.
