Overview
Secret Weapons of WWII explores the desperate weapons race fought by nations worldwide to gain an advantage over their adversaries. Incendiary bats, flying wings, rubber tanks, and guns that shoot around corners – in wartime, there is no such thing as a bad idea, but not all of these ideas worked or even made it beyond the planning stage. This riveting series tells the story of the weapons that changed history, and still impact our daily lives. Like the small top-secret device invented to improve radar, the Magnetron - now found in most kitchens as a microwave. Learn about the inventions born out of desperation that resulted in jet engines, rockets, lasers, and computers. Beyond the apparent silliness of pigeon bombs and death rays, this fascinating series highlights innovative weaponry developed during the war and the resulting transformative technological revolution.

Doctor-X: Surgeon Michiko Daimon (ja)
2012-10-18
Daimon Michiko is a 37-year-old freelance surgeon who is part of a questionable “doctor placement service” that has her wander from hospital to hospital. The harsh environment at the hospitals led many doctors to retire from their positions, forcing hospitals to make use of said program to fill the empty spots at least temporary. However, Michiko doesn’t look like a doctor at all with her flashy clothes and eccentric attitude. In the first episode she raises objections to a certain operation which is planned to be done by the head of a hospital who hasn’t performed an operation for a very long time. This causes Michiko to incur odium at the hospital, however, everyone becomes frozen when Michiko points out the outdated skills of the director. She also holds a scrupulous compliance when it comes to her working hours, never does any unnecessary chores that don’t require a medical license, and couldn’t care less about the power struggles within the hospitals. Nobody knows how she acquired such a top-level skill that allows her to claim exorbitant sums as reward, but her private life is an even greater mystery to everyone around her. Tanaka plays a rookie surgeon, Uchida an anesthetist, Kishibe the head of the placement service, and Ito the head of the surgical department of this institution.
