I saw the poster of Get Ready! and thought I would not mind watching a show with Tsumabuki Satoshi, FujiTatsu and Matsushita Nao. Unfortunately not only is Get Ready! another high concept TBS show it is another version of the horrible Miki Clinic de Kanpai Wo which is a jdorama that tries to be cool and edgy that nothing makes sense.
Get Ready like Miki Clinic is another show about an underground surgeon Ace who does very high risk and illegal surgeries. Tsumabuki Satoshi is trying to channel a bit of Dr Blackjack, a very famous surgery manga but I am perplex at what the surgeon is doing running a cake shop all by himself? I want to ask the writers whether they have any idea the amount of time and effort it takes to run a one man cakeshop? One of the writers probably decided that mysterious super surgeon is not interesting enough and audiences will be hooked when they learn he makes cakes when he is not cutting people up.
I guess if Get Ready! exists in a world where just a doctor and a nurse and a voice controlled aesthetic machine can perform the world's most dangerous operations by themselves, then one must accept that said doctor is able to run a cakeshop all by himself everyday. Get Ready! is very much a dorama not set in the real world.
Luckily, the crux of Get Ready! is not the surgeries because it would get a do not watch with how boring it is. Plus Iryu has taught me that you need a team of the best people to do surgeries and it is hard to accept this two person surgery bullshit from a storyline perspective.
The main story hook Get Ready! is that Ace will not operate on patient if he determines that they are not saving. FujiTatsu is the negotiator Joker and they appear as holograms to negotiate with potential patients. In other words, Get Ready! is about patients dying who have done bad things and maybe good things and an underground surgeon judging them. Episode 1 has the group agreeing to save a hagetaka and maybe there might be future episodes where patient is not worth saving? Not that I want to find out.
Get Ready! is not as bad as Miki Clinic because it doesn't fall apart completely but there's really nothing here besides the cast. This feels like another one of those trying to be so many things high concept anime-like shows. Meh from me and if you still feel like trying it out, masterchief has subbed episode 1.
On a side note, Quartet is out on Netflix so please watch it if you have not. Sakamoto Yuji writing is just magical and it is such a beautiful jdorama. That scene about karaage and lemon is one of the best jdorama scenes ever.
