Red Blood Cell AE 3808 was adorable as an erythrocyte and Neutrophil as a myelocyte. They met as kids and are now working together as adults. Funny how they turned it into some childhood to adulthood love story when in reality an RBC stays in the body for 100 to 120 days then they're gone.

I thought it was pretty funny how myelocyte/baby Neutrophil had a rubber toy sword as a kid and now he has a real life for killing bacteria. Also, the way the bacteria was shaking and slapping them around was funny.

It was kind of obvious that one cell was a cancer cell, his voice actor definitely stood out. It's Akira Ishida, one of my favorites. They wouldn't give a prominent voice actor like him a minor role so that cell was already suspicious from the get go.

NK cell is fucking awesome, she's my fave and I lowkey ship her with T killer cell. Yes, they're cells but fuck it. It's an Anime and that ain't stopping no one.

Finally! Something new! The birth of blood cells in the bone marrow!

"We're going to practice how to run away from bacteria." LOL!

Damn, they really made the suffering of the Erythroblast and Myleocyte brutal. How can you hurt such little kids?

Introduction of the NK cell, which is basically the elite Lymphocyte. It was funny seeing T and NK go at it.

A cell disguised as another cell...well before I saw the preview, I knew that it had to involve Cancer...

The first half is the best thing out of this series so far, but now we'll get to see how our Lymphocytes deal with cancer..

Loli red blood cells, hehe there's plenty of loli to go around lol

First half was pretty interesting yet touching. That green monster sure reminded me of the green monster from Monsters Inc. So those two young cells were the current White Blood Cell and Red Blood Cell aka Lost-chan?
I found it funny how she throws her hat at the monster's eye lol

Second half was alright, that cliffhanger, anxious to see what happens.~

LOL Killer T Cell and NK Cell don;t get along each other.
Next episode would be a very tough troublesome enemy: Cancer Cell
5/5.

How pretty the protagonist was when she was just a child. The fact of having divided the narrative into two parts did not disappoint me as a choice, given that they dealt with the two arguments quite comprehensively. The girl dressed as Lara Croft is very funny.

That's some cute backstory! I like how it turns out that the MC RBC and MC WBC has met one another before. After seeing this, I'm not sure if they have a romantic or sibling-like relationship... They're already a cute couple since their loli days.

Wow! That NK Cell was quite T H I C C At least her 'arms' muscles are!

This episode is not the usual war-kind of episode, but it does delve into deeper things such as that one ordinary cell who are willing to sacrifice his own life for the good of the body. Though... He's not ordinary at all, in fact, he's literally a cancer cell (as shown in the preview)

The first half was absolutely adorable and rather touching. That Red Blood Cell has some serious tenacity and fortune from the beginning, and that White Blood Cell was able to fulfill his childhood goals. It was fun getting a glimpse into the life of the young red blood cells.

That second half had amusing banter, and then suddenly dat escalation with the cliffhanger :O

AAAAAWWWWWWW~!!!! Hak's been protecting Sek since Day 1 :') SOOOOOOOO CUTEEEEEEEEEE <3333333 Even though she called him onii-chan-- some relationships start off where the children think of each other as siblings, then develop feelings later on, SO I STILL SHIP LOLOLOL.

I didn't think of it until this ep happened with Sek's backstory, but it would be cool if she were "mis-interpreted" y'know? Like, the reason why she's so bad at her RBC job is bc she was never meant to be an RBC and would excel at something else-- just dunno what it is yet X) Or, the author can just let her continue to be a dysfunctional RBC, who knows? ;P It'd be nice if she could be more badass, but given her job description, she can only transport O2 and nutrients, so we can't really expect much from her other than getting rescued by Hak :3

Also. NK and Killer T are so made for each other lmfao. I see plenty of "compatibility" ;D ;D

It was so obvs that Gaara cell was an infected/cancer cell the moment he took them to some place deserted. Can't wait to see his evil-ness unleash :}

Redhead Loli Gets Abused by Giant Tentacles 2018~ Jokes aside, it was nice seeing Red and White having an unforgettable experience together. It definitely seems like they got a red string of fate without realizing it and that's adorable.

NK and T not getting along with each other was really amusing because that's what you get for putting two really aggressive people together. They're on a cancer hunt and that inconspicuous guy was actually one in disguise.

Holy shit this body is so fucked up lol. I wouldn't be surprised if the ending of the story is the person the body belongs to dies. I feel like this is setting up for some big drama.

The 1st half is so adorable. Red Blood Cell and White Blood Cell actually had a history together.

Damn the new cell looks great and even that normal cell is handsome. Everyone in this show is fucking hot lol.

And it looks like he's a cancer cell as well. Damn.

Baby red blood cell and baby white blood cell was cute. I like how they always run into each other all the time. Macrophage is clean and I like seeing her as a teacher caring for the baby red blood cells. The fight between NK and Killer T was funny. And we got the cancer cell fight. Great episode!

So all of them grew up in the bone marrow, makes sense. I wonder if the platelets get born there as well and simply never grow up. NK cell seems to be the "strongest" one of the cells we met so far, she's hunting the really bad boys.

Quite a show!

Never thought this would turn something like this. It went totally wild here. Can't wait to see the next.

So RBC and WBC met long ago in their childhood. However RBC was quite brave. She hit the bacteria using her hat. That was cool. She just gets lost but I don't think she is weak that much. Nice past they had.

Aww, the erythroblasts in the bone marrow are so cute. It looks like the RBC and the WBC had already met when they were kids.

The depiction of NK cell is so cool.

I suspect the mutated cell is one of many cancer cells, and the desolate place is the cancer site.

Lol compatibility issues between cells. I'm liking the anime take but sometimes it's a bit too much. Like the flashback and monologues. Still I'm enjoying it far more than your average anime.

Why the hell does this person's body have an anime romance subplot inside of them.

Cells at Work greatly reminds me of the Osmosis Jones TV series, where the kid in that show got afflicted by just about every illness possible, ranging from common to absurdly rare. The human in Cells at Work must have absurdly bad luck or something.

Also, the greatest thing Cells at Work taught me is the intriguing naming convention some of these cells have. I guess it makes it easier to memorize and categorize their functions, as well as to write eye-catching medical papers on.

Who knew childhood crushes, petty banter and dramatic cliffhangers all happened in your body?

As if Red Blood Cell and White Blood Cell weren't already adorable together, that flashback sold me on them (tho I wonder what the biological implications would be if they actually became a couple lol)

Ooo~ 3803 RBC have met 1146 WBC since they were Erythroblast and Myelocyte. That's a nice memories~

Macrophage is the best, but now she has a rival, the NK Cell. The cell that was with her was suspicious, especially after he brought them there. Cancer Cell, huh...

Btw it's funny because the platelets always appear as "extra" cells in every episode to do little things like chat and run around... and give a bucket to Killer T Cell.. lol XD

It's radically less than less than a trillion, because keeps happening on repeat.
This anime gets me emotional too much :<
The NK and T Cell interaction here was... interesting. I don't know the specifics, but there is at least some truth to this.
Bone Marrow really is one of those underrated parts of the body.

Dang, we already on a final boss... Cancer. (unless i'm mistaken, one part of why we eventually die of old age, is that our cells have an anti-cancer property where eventually it runs out of spare parts and starts breaking down the cellular structures after so many reproductions or whatever)
5/5, it just hit me too hard for no reason, and felt like I NEEDED to look up the interaction with NK and T cells.
