Both anime shows how human body works with the means of portraying various components as anthropomorphised beings. The shows mostly focus on fights between virus/bacteria and human defense mechanisms. Both are enjoyable way to learn biology facts about human biology.

Anthropomorphization of health and body functions, namely Xiao Hong Lian He Xiao Lan Lian shows teeth cavities as some mischevious little villains - and so does Once Upon a Time... Life.

Both are child anime with similiar art style you may have watched as a kid without even realizing it´s an anime.

They are separate different themed adventure stories with same heroes. Both have, in addition, educational character.

Perhaps the only two anime that contain talking bacteria... Seems pretty relevant to me.
