Synopsis

The cells of the human body never rest for too long; there's always something new to do and learn every day. At least, that's what Hakkekkyuu U-1146 feels as he rushes to and fro, searching for any pathogens that could cause harm to the body. Despite his dangerous line of work, it's all worth it to protect the happy smiles of Sekkekkyuu AE3803, the platelet crew, his fellow neutrophils, and the other cells he meets along the way.

In his latest pathogen-hunting adventures, Hakkekkyuu U-1146 discovers how important cells can sometimes make mistakes, and that not all bacteria are actually bad. Everybody has their bad days, but everything eventually works out when their comrades have their backs. In the end, it's just another normal day for these hardworking cells!

I feel like this show needs no introduction for the myriad of you who've watched Season 1 way back in 2018. The TL;DR is this: our favorite body cells are back at it again, resuscitating a healthy body from many of the immune diseases as inspired and suffering from real life, but giving it the anime flare and feel that's basically one and the same from Season 1.

The only reason why we have a Season 2 in times like now, is because the spin-off (which is Hataraku Saibou Black, or Cells at Work: Code Black) is chosen to air in Winter 2021, so both mangaka ...

Mixed Feelings
TLDR: if you liked the first season - you will most likely like this one. If you did not - don't waste time.

Story: basically it is more of the same stuff, out cells doing their work and overcoming different situations. It is really nothing much to speak about, considering this season is only 2/3 of a normal season in length.
Art, sound: the same as S1, solid but nothing stellar.
Characters: once again, more of the same. Most of the characters were already established in the first season (or at least had episodical role), so you know what to expect. No real character progression if by ...
Feb 25, 2021
There are a few episodes that sync up with Code Black, which aired at the same time. For example, both shows may talk about hair or something. So that might be more fun for you to watch both simultaneously.

Too many corners are cut in the animation department. CGI red blood cells walking around.
Educational value is decent except for the last two episodes which is nothing but action scenes and a bacteria that wears a fox fursuit.

Two episodes with platelets and a few more with the lactic acid bacteria. So you won't completely waste your time watching this, but you can tell they're trying ...
