Synopsis

Due to poor lifestyle choices, a certain human's body is in constant turmoil. With germs, bacteria, and foreign substances abound, the jobs of various cells become increasingly difficult and dangerous. As some of the unfortunate ones who matured in this chaotic environment, Sekkekkyuu AA2153 and Hakkekkyuu U-1196 strive to fulfill their duties—even if it means seeing many of their fellow cells lose their lives in duty.

Set in an environment vastly different from its parent story, Hataraku Saibou Black portrays the cells' struggles as they try to maintain the body's health. However, the human's condition continues to deteriorate, and whether or not these efforts will amount to something concrete depends on the cells!

Hell yeah

Do you suffer from depression or do you want to fix your body? Well this is for you. Since you get to realize how much shit is going on in your body

Story: Unlike the original Cells at Work this is depressing. This tackles more depressing things just as alcoholism, excessive smoking, liver failure, heart attack and more. It is just a fun and depressing watch

Characters: Characters are pretty well done. Of course the waifu in this season is the white blood cell. Our main character himself is a hard worker which is respectable since the body is total shit

Music: OSt is good and the ...

Mixed Feelings
Not a whole lot to say about this one. If you enjoyed the regular Hataraku Saibou you'll most likely enjoy this one as well. Follows much the same premise though focuses more on how bad habits can negatively affect the body. It remains a fairly interesting and informative insight into the human physiology. The main cast are essentially genderbent from the original which is an interesting touch.

I did however find myself a little bored towards the end and didn't really care too much about the characters, but in fairness the setting kind of makes characters difficult to really get attached to.

Preliminary (4/13 eps)
Imagine the original Cells At Work, now revamp the characters and make the host body a stressed out, anxiety ridden person and create a new story based on the complications of stress and anxiety. It will be pretty clear if you will like the show or not by the first episode.

This is basically a darker version of the original cells at work, with very uninspired and overall flawed character and a decent alternate story and you have code black.

This is not an anime I am jumping out of my seat to recommend, its an average anime at best, I feel like you will know if ...
