| sad to see this show end hope they make more eventually kind of spected this episode to include chemotherapy to come like a nuke to save the day. |

| I wish red blood cell had more screen time but overall I still enjoyed this season |
 |
| That was cool finale, I really enjoyed the episodes from when regular cell first showed up until here, though I kind of wished Red Blood Cell had more role. The Perforin Cannon Punch was pretty fucking great, and Regulatory T Cell was hilarious when she's not trying to kill you lmao. Poor Cancer Cell, but that is the way things are meant to be, at least White Blood Cell delivered the final blow. I really hope we get a season 3 or a movie or an OVA or something, since I heard there was a Covid chapter, that'd be nice to see. Overall this season was a 7.5/10 |
 |
| That nasty move the white cellie guy did to the cancer cell was sick. As for the narrator. Her voice is hot. I like it. Thanks for this season. |

| What a satisfying way for the cancer cell to be defeated. Memory T Cell's Jojo-style punch did wonders in turning the tide and also finally got the dozy Regulatory T Cell to wake up and joined forces. Along wit NK Cell, the trio did a great job in the fight. WBC was freed from his capsule prison after a change in the body due to the other battle involving the lactic acid bacteria, which helped him deliver the final blow like the true assassin he is. Overall, while I'm unsure what score I'll give season 2, I still thoroughly enjoyed it. 8 episodes felt too short, but we still had some funny episodes alongside this 4 episode arc edited from its original movie format. I still hope for another OVA or two in the future, though. =) |
| Of course I always knew that Cancer is awful but this ep made me really understand just how tough it is to beat, which just makes me feel so amazed that the human race found a way to tackle it. Our bodies really are incredible and I hope we get another season so I can learn more about biology! |
 |
| The lactic acid bacteria were really giving the platelets a run for their money in terms of cuteness, but I think the platelets still remain the cutest! Intense battle and Memory T cell does the punch, cancer cell dies... again! |

| Noooo, it already ended, felt like it was too short :( Well, the climax of this season was awesome so i have no complaints there ^^ I still want more of this though! Not gonna lie, even though the 1st season was better in my opinion, this one was pretty good still! We got to see more about how our organism works when it faces diverse threats that may arise at any moment. It was similar to what we've seen before in that aspect, though, the themes were a bit more interesting on the previous season, and since Code Black is also coming out, i think that one outshines this 2nd season in all honesty, so yeah xd 8/10, well deserved! And i'm quite satisfied with everything still, despite lowering my score from a 9 for the 1st season, to an 8 in this one. |
 |
| There goes a great anime :( I'll miss you on my fridays. Killer T Saibou using Saitama moves, Gan Saibou wings reminded me of Devilman Crybaby. And of course, Hakkekkyuu U-1146 killing Gan Saibou was sexy as fuck. |
| Imagine how boring this world would be without Japan - a comment at youtube |
Cancer Cell was once again defeated because cells of this body worked together. Also, thanks to lactic acid bacteria and other good bacteria for helping them in maintaining the balance in this body. Hoping there's a 3rd Season! |
| Overall nice ending to the series. I more or less enjoyed it as much as the first season. KANLen09 said: The 2-part finale: Cancer Cell (Part 2). P.S. You don't have to watch the movie! Sorry for the misinformation (since the movie covers Episodes 4 to 8). I'd swear I hear one of the Harmful Bacteria's VA being Kirito's VA, it sounds damn similar. A good finish for Season 2. Onwards with the Code Black spin-off! Because it is Matsuoka. The credits name him as that bacteria. |
| Good Finale i would say... Good Bacteria really helpful... Memory T using the Special Technique Perforin Cannon Punch was really funny... lol (was hoping for Ora Ora Ora though, since the seiyuu was also voicing Jotarou) At last Hakkekkyuu san delivered the Final Blow to Cancer Cell .. That was Great Quality Scene... Good Season i would say, but isn't better than the first Season... Looking forward to whenever the Anime is back with Covid-19... (I hope they would make this story) 7/10 |

Jpl79 said: I didn't realize this only got approved for 8 episodes. alot of shows this season have weird episode amounts alot have 11 instead of the standard 12. though considering a lot of the shows are being done via remote work due to Covid-19 I guess that was to be expected. The manga was finished in January and there was only a couple of chapters left, not enough for a 11 episode cour. |
| Memory T doing Tenha no Kamae from Fist of the North Star, yes! ULTIMATE SECRET TECHNIQUE PERFORIN CANNON PUNCH! Regulatory T moving outta the way because the cancer cell's t-shirt ripped lmao Though it's not a Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs, it's still great along with all the action/fight scenes. So it ends with work as usual. Hope to see more. |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| Not as strong as the first season, even if we ignore it has less episodes, but still a fun time. JokerVentura said: Aye, thought it looked like a Hokuto reference.That Cannon Punch, forget JoJo, was that a Fist of the North Star reference! |
 |
| oh god! it really ended! it left my heart a big gap to fill in and hopefully code black will fill that gap! Hakkekkyuu U-1146 delivered the iconic final blow to Cancer Cell LOL @ Killer T Saibou serious punch! Regulatory T Cell is so pretty! (VA Hayami Saori) Good Bacteria played a serious role on this episode! 5/5. 8/10. |
 |
| Ah so S2 comes to an end. Gonna miss ANONE ANONE. Had a great time with them. |
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| I agree with a comment on the first page that it lost the charm and novelty by now. You also lose the Red Blood Cell and White Blood Cell character dynamics from the first season by pushing RBC to the side here. A retread of Cancer Cell didn't do the 2nd season any favors, either. At least the little bacterium guys were fun and cute. Overall, a disappointing follow-up to the 1st season, and not just because of the short season. |
| That was interesting. I enjoyed the art and loved NK. She´s badass and reminded me somehow of Mikasa from Shingeki. Though NK is more talkative hehe 7/10. It was good. 8/10 would not be unfair, though. |
 |
| yeah the charm really did fade away after like the first episode or so wasn't bad but wasn't better then the first season both this and black airing on the busy day back to back really killed me lol im just saving black for a day binge of despair and depression |
 |
| next collaboration with Yakult? |
| Barely any RBC or Macrophages and instead whole time taken by annoying walking merchandise, whiny regular cell and rehash of cancer cell. This season sucked. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| The end. This season wasn't as good as the first one, but still an entertaining ride. That adorable Lactic Acid Bacterium was the best thing here. |

| It's more serious than season 1, but I don't think that made it better. |
| First season had more content than this second season, quantitatively, yet second season offered memorable moments that I find more appealing like the dendritic cell spreading embarrassing photos to motivate the immune cells and the appearance of the lactic bacteria characters. Perhaps, Hataraku Saibou!! should have been animated in the future when the manga artist created more chapters to provide a content for a full season length (12 episodes) and Hataraku Saibou BLACK be the spotlight anime for the series in Winter 2021. |
| For a comedy-based anime, this conclusion was epic af. I'm really impressed. |
 |
| T CELL PUERILE CRETIN PANTIES!!! Short season but I liked seeing the overarching arc of the lactic acid bacteria and Cancer 'cll'. |
 |
| i didn't like this one as much as the original show, i felt like the original was even more informative. also NYUUU ahhhhhhhhhh stop it still good though |
 |
| Pretty nice sequel, I do wonder why they went for 8 episodes if that was planned or something else caused to cut it short, but in general the episodes we did get had a nice overall finish to the initial story. Quite liked it for sure! |
 |
| Man, they really padded the last half of this ep for time. The narrator actually repeated herself once in the next scene and I thought it was an error. Pretty good season, not great like the first tho. |
| White Blood Cell killing the cancer cell was awesome. NK Cell being happy that she nailed it was cute. It was a good finale even though the information got repeated for some reason. |
| It was wonderful to see the regulatory T cell change her mind after learning that the cancer cell was harmful to the body rather than being a part of it. It was a fantastic season, but this is the last for this anime. I enjoyed watching each episode; it was a thrilling ride. Red Blood Cells, White Blood Cells, and those adorable platelets will be missed. The bacteria were also adorable. Technically I need to watch the other Cells at work: Code black. |
 |
| Just finished this one and it's still a good and creative show as ever and dare I say better than the first season tbh 🤷 It felt like there was a better plot progression than just random episodic narratives. Not that I think the episodic format is bad by the way. On the contrary, I actually liked it. It's just that this was a nice change of pace. Shoutout to the normal cell and lactic acid bacteria. Don't have much to say except I loved and enjoyed it a lot. Now time to watch the big tiddy white blood cell show. |
 |
| First half was quite good, second half didn't really convince me. All that "Nyuuu" business and cancer cell as the big baddy (again) was kinda boring. First season was better, still a 6/10 for this one though. |
| The fight was so intense, really liked Memory T Cell's hidden technique was funny to watch, White Blood Cell was awesome in this and finished off Cancer Cell once Regulator T Cell changed sides. Otherwise this was a great finale to a season I think was just as good as the first season I might be in the minority when it comes to that statement but I enjoyed the show for the most part there were certainly a lot of funny moments, while yes it's short in length then some people would want it to be but I do think it doesn't detract from the overall quality of it. I still had fun with the second season of Cells at Work. |
| I thought the good bacteria going to have some role in defeating the cancer cell.... |
