| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Interesting, this is an episode about erythrocyte and the way they become full red blood cells. The process gives me a sci-fi vibe but I found it pretty creative. I think the creators of the show were aiming to make it look as unique as possible and that was an appeal. The erythrocyte also look super cute (kinda reminds me of the platelets). They also look very human-like personalities. Monster of the week is still the usual abomination causing trouble. This time, it has one giant eye...  NK Cell is such a badass. |

| Nice episode again. The little backstory with Red blood cell and White Blood cell was touching. xD I do hope the White Blood Cell she knows now is the same kid that saved her before. Well well well, I was wondering when they were gonna bring him in and it looks like Cancer Cell finally showed up. That sneaky specimen. If only high school Biology was taught like this. xD |
 |
| Great Episode! It was heartwarming to see the RBC and WBCs past. I hope it’s the two of them that we’ve been accustomed to already, but I’m up for any surprises. Erythrocytes looked so adorable though, I must admit. They kind of reminded me of those cute platelets. On another note, looks like next epsiode is set with NK Cell figuring out the truth. Can’t wait to see how that goes! Looking forward to the next epsiode! |

| Hmm getting lost and finding yourself back at your homeland. Having a school as the homeland is an interesting choice. Macrophage's attitude really suits her role as the homeroom teacher for the young ones. Guess even when little RB cell was a natural at getting lost. But to think that both the RB cell and the WB cell met in the past as children having been caught in the same situation. Nk cell is quite the character. The rivalry between Nk cell and Killer T was quite amusing. The ending sure was unexpected. |

| I'm delighted how the anime manages to put me in awe from cuteness in every episode |
| In time, you will know the tragic extent of my fapping's... |
| everyone in here is mad cute, even the Macrophage is cute af in this episode, love seeing her being teacher and active and such. the lack of fighting scene surely can be covered up in the next episode, and i hope it will be a great one, David Productions do your magic. NK Cell, Killer T Cell and Eosinophil is best trio ever |

Sangaz said: For anyone wondering, NK Cell's VA was Yukinari Toa. Same lass who's playing Azusa in Grand Blue this season. oh shit, she’s also voiced Casca in Berserk 2016 & 2017, in which Casca didn’t speak at all:( |
|
| I have mixed feelings about the studio adapting the Cancer Cell arc just now. While I agree the chapter of the erythroblasts and the myelocytes was too short to cover a whole episode (I wouldn't have mind anime original content for this, tbh), I think would had been a great way to finish the series, since it's not episodic and would've made a great stopping point for a second season. In fact, with how David Productions is re-ordering the chapters of the manga, I fear the possibility of they adapting The episode itself was pretty cute, it was so sweet how Neutrophil saved Red Blood Cell when they were young cells, and how red blood cell was a born klutz. They were both so damn cute (damn it, this anime is making me shipping two cells, I'm degenerating even more). I liked the childlish interactions between NK Cell and Killer T Cell, with Neutrophil acting as the mediator between them. Those dam lymphocytes are so complicated. We end in cliffhanger, and next episode will be pretty intense. Cannot wait for it. kamudosanno said: Yep, it is him. Curiously, I imagined him voiced by Ishida while reading the manga. I feel stupidly happy.Is cancer cell's voice Ishida Akira-san? |
 |
| The back story was so cute!! lol! I KNEW Ishida Akira cell was one of the bad guys. Almost all of his characters end up dead! It's so funny how they count calls using 'nin' counter, which is used to count people. Kind of feels like there are many humans inside the human body. |
| My god he was protecting her even when she was young...so amazing and adorable. |
 |
| I just loved to see a bit of the past of our favorite cells, how they came to be and the training and everything, it was lovely. On a side note, this anime really is a biology class, I didn't know that the Macrophage also had that role. I just wish Red Blood Cell would recognize him, but I guess that it isn't going to happen any time soon, but that's also okay, they have a bond now and that matters more than memories. I also liked the new cell that was introduced, her bickering with Killer T Cell was pretty funny, I just hope it won't happen again and again. And I can't believe it ended on a cliffhanger, it's the first time, cancer is a pretty serious business so I'm looking forward to the next episode! |
 |
| This show has been successful in making me go "awww" in every episode and today is no exception as we get a look at the past of our favourite Red and White blood cells and how they first encountered each other with that bacteria running amok. Their expressions are just super adorable and I do hope that they both recognise each other from their past one day. The NK cell makes her appearance and she wastes no time in showing off her skills and shows no hesitation in putting the Killer T Cell in his place. XD However, the next foe is going to be a tough one, with it being a cancer cell. I'm expecting a long a tough battle, one where I hope our favourite characters will win. ^_^ |
| Another good episode. Not as action oriented as the others so far but they don't all need to be. |
| This episode definitely felt different from the previous ones. I like where this show is going so far and I love the backstory we got for Red and White blood cell. Never thought this show would end with some sort of cliffhanger though. |
kamudosanno said: Is cancer cell's voice Ishida Akira-san? I think it was him. I kept thinking I knew that voice all too well until I recognized Kagari's voice from Psycho-Pass! So maybe it was him all right! |
| That first half, I almost died of cuteness overload :3 |
 |
Adorable couple, even as children it was seen that they were destined to meet! >///< 💓💓👌 |
| Ugh, loved that backstory episode!! They were so cute as kids. Nice to see NK Cell's appearance, this show has really taught me so much more about cells than school biology classes lol. I didn't expect that cliffhanger though, can't wait for the next episode! |

| i don't follow the manga so i don't know what's going to happen but the moment i heard Ishida Akira's voice i knew he would be one of the villains lol |
| Nice flashback episode,was interesting to see how cells "grow up". And NK cell is pretty waifu. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| I feel like this episode is a step up for the series. So far it's been fairly formulaic (which wasn't bad for this kind of show), but now we are getting backstory, continuity, and potentially epic fight coming up. Wonder if the second half of the series is going to be plot based? Also having NK cells be Lone Wolf powerhouses is so perfect. The representations of these cells are super accurate. Which makes is just that much better. |
 |
Does anyone else think that the erythrocyte in this episode looked really similar to the villain Gyoro Gyoro from One Punch Man?? |
 |
| "I'M GONNA BE A GREAT WHITE BLOOD CELLS" hmmm i think i heard that phrase before :D so RBC didn't realize WBC who saved her in past is WBC who usually help her now. how can i ship RBC and WBC,ship 2 cells :D Cancer cells is coming! |
 |
| Loli RBC x Shota WBC is so cute. Wow who knew that Ritsuka Fujimura/ Gudao was actually the villain cell. W8 what if he was behind the singularities in Fate all along. Looks like some epic fight is about to go down with him and NK Cell. Boi he about to summon some servants while NK with her stand |

kamudosanno said: Is cancer cell's voice Ishida Akira-san? yeah, totally recognized him since I used to play Gundam Seed alliance vs zaft a lot, I always hear him as Athrun :D today's episode is so cute! RBC is adorable. |
| This is not your planet to rule. The Fallen shall rise again. |
| After seeing them as children I just want to ship them Ooh cancer cell it's going to be a big fight NK cell you are a hard ass |
 |
Top secret sneak preview of next episode: |
|
| RED BLOOD CELL HAD SUCH A TRAGIC EVENT IN HER LIFE OMG But it turned out pretty nice in the end. Also this was an excellent episode for the ship, to think White Blood Cell was protecting her since they were so young... But on the other hand I just watched a couple of children being chased around and beat up but found myself enjoying it and that kind of worries me... almost as much as the fact that I'm shipping extremely small parts of the Human body... BUT IT'S CUTE SO IT'S FINE. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| They made the tedious and boring process of eritropoyesis simple, cute and fun, this anime sure is great. I still have a hard time believing this is a healthy body, even a bacteria got to the marrow, like that is not supposed to happen easily. Wonder how they will do this cancer thing, it is a complex sickness. Also NK cell's description was to make her look good, actually NK cell's descriprion should be "kills any cell it wants, f**k everyone" |

| Finally we get the reveal of the Natural Killer cell. |
| hahahahah best way to teach the kids is by simply telling them to run away and hide xD red blood cell is probably the most unlucky cell ever xD I find it funny that in the 1st episode she says that she hopes to meet him again someday, even though that she sees him everywhere she goes xD Even when she was a child ahaha she "grew up" with him ahaha Wow, i find it impressive the amount of protection that our body has against threats because in school we are only taught about white blood cells and nothing else, but in reality, there is so much more! I was so curious about if we will have an episode about cancer and how they would kill it, can't wait for next episode! |

OriharaShinra said: Also NK cell's description was to make her look good, actually NK cell's descriprion should be "kills any cell it wants, f**k everyone" Haha omg yes. Honestly I thought she was going to kill T-Cell after he dumped the water on her omg I want RBC & WBC to be together so bad now. Is that weird? I think its probably weird. |

| That Killer T Cell. He reeks of NTR i swear 😂😂😂 |
| We are finally going to see Cancer-chan! yay Also the backstory at the beginning is really cute |
| Those young red blood cells are way too adorable and now I'm shipping Red Blood Cell with White Blood Cell even more! Ishida Akira as cancer cell eh...hope things won't get too messy .-. |
 |
| So, AE 3803 has a tendency to get lost every since she was a kid. She doesn't remember U-1146, but I wonder if he remembers her... I'm liking NK Cell! If she and Killer T are gonna fight every time they meet, then I'm all in for her appearing regularly. She's also pretty hot, so, that's a bonus :3 |
"At some point, I stopped hoping." |
| Holy fuck this was adorable!! |

| Loved this episode, the flashback was great and I'm definitely looking forward to the next episode's fight with the cancer cell. |
 |
| The first part was nice stray from the usual and I kinda like the nostalgia although there was still the horrid monster of the week. The second part was kinda meh and taking putting cells in I kinda doubt about healthiness of this body they are putting way too many things in just for the show... it's one plot device after another plot device almost constantnly. |
| Man, the body they're all living is really fuck up. One day it's allergies, the next one, parasites and now cancer. Jeez. |
