Many patients with different problems visit the psychiatric ward of Irabu General Hospital; a trapeze artist suffering from insomnia after suddenly failing his jumps, a gangster afraid of knives and sharp objects and a business man who has an erection 24 hours a day. They undergo counseling by Dr. Ichiro Irabu, who is the child-like son of the hospital director. His assistant is the sullen faced sexy nurse Mayumi. With his mysterious injections, and advice that does not make sense, Dr. Irabu confuses his patients. But at the end of his unique treatments, the patients are led to digging further into their souls to find peace of mind.

Where it came from
Welcome to Irabu's Office, titled Kuuchuu Buranko in Japanese, was produced by Toei Animation as part of the late-night Noitamina block in 2009. The series is based on the short story collection by Hideo Okuda and centers on the eccentric psychiatrist Ichirou Irabu, who treats a variety of patients struggling with modern psychological neuroses. It was directed by Kenji Nakamura, who sought to capture the surreal and chaotic nature of mental distress through experimental animation techniques.
The series is noted for its distinctive visual style, which incorporates live-action footage, mixed media, and highly saturated, kaleidoscopic color palettes. This avant-garde approach was intended to reflect the fractured perspective of the patients. Upon its release, the show received praise for its bold artistic choices and its unconventional, dark comedic take on psychiatry, though its jarring aesthetic remains a point of polarization among anime viewers.
