| Interesting, so this is how hairloss, works, a result of the body damaging itself with T Cells mistaking anything dividing rapidly like hair matrix cells as cancer cells. The portrayal of how steroids work here is great. Continuing the trend from the main series; all medicine administered to the body like such as antibiotics are robots. In order to be anti-inflammatory, they need to restrain the Killer T Cells, this does mean that while the body is prevented from destroying itself, it becomes more vulnerable to pathogens. |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| This series really has an unsual overarching feel to it. You want to cheer all the cells on and see them succeed, such as the RBC/WBC shipping similar to main series. But the whole purpose of this series is that they're all just trying to barely get by. It doesn't really matter how hard they work, or what they do, as only the body owner can improve their lifestyle so that such issues become less frequent. We had the WBC puss in the last 2 episodes, now its the turn of RBC from kidney stones. Looks to be a painful episode, and just hope we don't lose any of the main RBC's like the WBC captain was lost last episode :( |
 |
| Damn, now kidney stones? Seriously, this body won't last a second season announcement. |
| Ponytail White Blood Cell working out is love. Those Killer T cells sure went bonkers damn. Kidney stones next huh, no breaks for this guy.. |
 |
| Hakkekkyuu was cute. Urine turning red is not good at all, that's gotta hurt and it's a really bad sign. |

btamamura said: As soon as I saw the Killer T Cells talking about how they have to keep working, I knew it was going to become an autoimmune scenario. No, I have not read the manga, but if you live with an autoimmune condition, you learn about what drives it and I recognised the signs. ldanes said: hair loss, would I have ever imagined that it was due to an autoimmune response, what other autoimmune responses would there be in the body apart from cancer and this? Conditions such as Type 1 Diabetes, Fibromyalgia, Lupus, Hashimoto's Disease (hypoactive thyroid autoimmune), Graves' Disease (hyperactive thyroid autoimmune), Rheumatoid Arthritis...they're all autoimmune. I have Graves' Disease and it's awful. It's my thyroid getting attacked, but the thyroid is an organ that helps control function of other organs - my heart rate is often tachycardic and I live in brain fog, plus there's risk of damage to my kidneys, there is intense pain in some areas (though sometimes it dulls to an annoyance but never goes away), constant chronic nausea, it's caused me issues with ketones and even had me hospitalised twice with ketoacidosis (usually associated with diabetes, but confirmed not diabetic), I'm tired and weak a lot of the time, I do indeed experience hair loss and would rather shave it all off instead of constantly finding it in my food or all over my pillow...and then the fun part about Thyroid Storm which if not treated in time is fatal. Even when my thyroid is removed (they need to because my goitre - enlarged thyroid - is putting pressure on my oesophagus and larynx with risk of cutting off my airway, and it's grown down into my sternum so there's that too) I will still have the Graves' antibodies present in my body so Graves' Disease for the rest of my life, on top of having to take medication for the rest of my life. For now, it's to control my levels of my thyroid hormones because if those get too high, or irregular, very risky (had to go to the ER twice last year because they'd been thrown off). But, after the thyroidectomy, I need to take medication to replace the thyroid hormones since I'd have no means to produce them naturally. Thanks for the information, the lupus talked about so much in Dr. House surprised me. I'm sorry to hear about your condition, I think that programs like these will help to create more awareness about diseases (autoimmune or not) and progressively control and even suppress conditions like yours I wish you better, Akiramenai! |
  Humans may have two eyes, but we can only see one thing Don't use the scores to see an anime ええい！ なんでも やって やる |
DoctoRojack said: I don't get it. Why does it have kess rating than Cells at Work Season 2. I belong to medical profession. But I can clearly say that this one is better than that one. just like me, not everyone likes to see suffering and death everywhere lol i'm kinda enjoying it, but even then i feel like this is way too much tragedy one after the other |
favorite "new girls" from fall <3 (lol i only watched these) ... click sig for older seasons  |
| Don't know what happens to both Cells at work having hair episode but might as well happen. But damn, dude got laid just to get STD, then start losing hair after that stress and now he starts to pissing blood. I don't know if we will our new cell friends get through the end of season, body might die as well. But seeing White cell doing push ups was worth it. |
 |
| The Killer T Cells went on a rampage. |

| Damn you Helper T cells and Killer T cells for causing baldness... although I feel bad for them with their best efforts since its basically the dude's fault for not taking care of his body. |
 |
| It was quite boring until the Killer T Cell starting to go rampage even though the White Cell and Red Cell scene was cute. |
| White Blood Cell looked really good this episode, waifu material right there. Does that really happen, Killer T cells attacking Hair cells? Seemed kinda weird before they explained it. |
| Having your body's defence force be bloodthirsty when there isn't a threat is pretty disturbing ngl. This body is in rough, rough shape. As dark as this spinoff is I'm glad there's still some adorable WBC and RBC developments |
| My gosh, this person is insanely unhealthy They’re definitely going to die at this point? Everything is going wrong with his body |
 |
| Seeing that the Pigment Cell was so old, it somehow made me feel bad for bleaching my hair. Stress -> smoking and excessive drinking -> harm to lungs and liver -> stress -> unsafe sex -> gonorrhea -> stress -> excessive hair loss -> stress.... I honestly hope that the owner of the body starts changing his lifestyle slowly. At least start by drinking more water and doing some light exercise. He's already losing a lot of cells that have worked hard in their lives and existences in his body. |
 |
| Seeing the immune cells go berserk is just sad to see. Putting this beside the ED makes it look like propaganda from a dystopia, of the "Arbeit macht frei" kind. |
| They don't seem like they're going to survive! The owner of the body is completely negligent. |
 She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did! |
| Damn, this helper T-cell is so different from the original. It's interesting to see given the state of the body they have to work with. Can't blame RBC for staring, WBC is sexy af. WBC's smile, omg. SHE IS BEAUTIFUL! I'm glad we got to see the beautiful platelets. <3 |
Just a lonely soul who found anime late in life and is now using it as a distraction for sadness. Check my about me for animes I've seen and like. I'm always open for new anime recommendations, please PM me if you have any recommendations! |
