Synopsis

Inside the human body, roughly 37.2 trillion cells work energetically 24 hours a day and 365 days a year. Fresh out of training, the cheerful and somewhat airheaded Sekkekkyuu AE3803 is ready to take on the ever-so-important task of transporting oxygen. As usual, Hakkekkyuu U-1146 is hard at work patrolling and eliminating foreign bacteria seeking to make the body their new lair. Elsewhere, little platelets are lining up for a new construction project.

Dealing with wounds and allergies, getting lost on the way to the lungs, and bickering with similar cell types, the daily lives of cells are always hectic as they work together to keep the body healthy!

It's actually a very unexpected anime for me. At first I thought it would be very boring and typical. The same characters, the same situations. But I was wrong. The functioning of our body cells, viruses and bacteria and the battles between them made this anime a good show to watch and relax. Sometimes you even forget that all the events are happening in someone's body that can actually be very vulnerable. By this I mean that the owner of the body is not important and for cells - person`s body is a home at first place which they have to secure and protect.

This was a great and educational anime to watch, im gonna go give a 8.49 ratings for the anime.

A unique anime, packing an ordinary story with science as its attraction. It's an original concept and that's why I love it. The story offered basically only adapts to the theme brought by this anime which is a story about red blood cells. The illustrations and analogies of the characters depicted as cells in our bodies are really well executed and provide useful knowledge to the audience so that they are not only entertained but also educated. Although it is true for story lovers, this anime ...

This show first attracted me because I thought it looked novel, and it was. For the first four episodes. After that I was really bored with this show. I couldn't sit through the show as the story repeated over and over with no effective change. The stories follow a certain format. Red Blood Cell finds either a germ, white blood cell, or a friend red blood cell and then they act afraid as the immune system fight the germs or that episode. The show failed to make me care about any of the characters. The art doesn't look back but it can be really ...
