BIG mistake when they require the audience to watch the movie before, in which I'm sure 99% of the audience didn't watch it, even in Japan. Such a regrettable decision.


I do not think they did that though, did they?

This is mostly feel like a nostalgic episode featuring all of the memorable characters from Hataraku Saibou. There was rbc HanaKana-chan. Her coughing just way too adorable~. Then, there were a lot of Platelet-chan grouping, like a kids do an educational field trip. No shit, they were all kids afterall. The theme was just too cute. That i can't blame my cuteness indicator to reached its limit and exploded immediately after watching their activities.

However, don't forget that you were all at the large intestines. A place where all of the harmful bacterias form a good colonies, patiently tried to breakthrough. Even though there were always a good and neutral bacterias. Still, once again, the healthy body face a great amount of deal against that huge harmful bacterias infiltration.

Goblet cell couldn't hold the defensive positions with his mucus. Many epithelial cells failed to hold the large intestine grounds. Now everything looked so chaos at those places. Whats happened next? Not to mention the trios antic of immunity cells fought hard against the old enemy. Everything sounds very climax to closed this maginificent second season. Two last episodes. I can't help but feel sad to greet it....

There were platelets.

And they said "Ano ne! Ano ne!".

It was a perfect episode.

I was actually waiting to see Feces in this episode but in the end I'm glad we didnt.

Great episode and the Battle with Cancer begins again!

Pretty Sure that was Regulatory T Cell at the end...which may or may not be a good thing.

Those neutral bacteria, did they really exist?

This chapter takes up the cancer cell but, it took a while for it to multiply, didn't it? So it does not reflect reality so much, that is, a pitched battle

The quality of the animation is maintained, which is a shame that there are only a few chapters left for the end of the season!

The platelets were adorable and Sekkekkyuu too. Watching Killer T acting smug cause he became Memory T was funny.

Welp Cancer cell is back and germs have invaded too at the same time. Things are not looking good at all. Also who was that walking at the end there I wonder.

NK and Kil-sorry Memory T-Cell were hilarious! Loved how WBC and OC were trying to hide the last bacteria from those two! Can't wait for the finale! (Just wondering if we were supposed to watch the movie before the last 2 ep?)

I am not sure either..didn't seem like we were missing anything. Cancer cell was the bad boss at the end of S1...he is just back for round 2. (or is this round 3 and the movie is also about him? but then what would be the point of that hmm)

The situation is so serious. You could hear it in the narrator's voice when she was describing cancer cells.
Also, I ship NK cell and Killer T, now Memory T cell.

Great Episode! Sekkekkyu onee-chan + Platelets = Unlimited Kawaii Works.

NK Cell and Kill- ahem I mean Memory T Cell's bickering were hilarious. You can really see the difference compared to the body in code black when Sekkekkyu-san found the time to chill in an intestines museum with the platelets lmao.

You know shit's serious when the narrator's voice changes when describing the cancer cell. 2 more episodes left, I wish we could have gotten more wholesome episodes but it is what it is. Looking forward to the 2 parter.

Anytime our favourite RBC encounters the platelets, a whole boat-load of adorableness is expected and this episode was no exception, as her time with the platelets in the education centre in the intestines was pretty fun.

However, things have gone all haywire now. Firstly is the nasty bacteria getting through the intestines and causing all havoc, which has caught up with cell boy and the last remaining good bacteria blob with him.

Secondly is the return of the dreaded cancer cell. Although the bickering between NK Cell and Kil- um, I mean Memory T Cell, was funny, but it was short lived as the cancer cell went all in on our trio and he already has an upper hand in this fight.

The last two episodes will be a 2-parter, dealing with both of these attacks at the same time. That's something to look forward to, obviously. =)

When narrator gets serious in her description of Cancer Cells, you know shit's about to go down.

Fantastic episode. I got to know more about the large intestine and about the good and bad bacteria that exist in there. Seeing the Platelets going on an educational field trip was really cute but sadly, it wasn't all fluffiness and anones in the end.

This said, looking forward to seeing how this round 2 against Cancer Cell will go. Hopefully with Ordinary Cell not dying in the process.

Cancer Cell will strike again, huh? -_-; I dunno how this will end, since there are two more episodes to end this season... Let's see >.>

Cancer Cell looks even more formidable than last time and the immune cells need to split their forces between defeating him and taking care of the invading bacteria in the Large Intenstine.

I have a feeling the last Lactic Acid Bacterium is gonna be the key to defeating Cancer Cell AND fixing the Large Intestines but I have no idea how cause I'm not that smart haha

There's something sexy about that scene. No sound was present except the heels making echoing contact with the floor as it walks towards the darkness.

With the toxic gas in the large intestine, I was starting to think we were getting some Code Black level issues going on :S

Cancer cell finally making his return (possibly the cause of the bacteria power-balance shift?). The final Lactic Acid Bacterium is definitely going to be helping out somehow, whether that's helping weaken cancer down for the immune cells or helping with the harmful bacteria invasion. Quite pumped that they're making the finale a 2-parter, so guess we'll be getting another cliffhanger next week as well.

When those platelets are in the episode, it's automatically a top tier episode. It's like a cheat code lol.

Nice, the Platelets were having a trip there, the arguments with Killer, sorry Memory T Cell with NK Cell were funny to watch. But shit just got real with the Cancer Cell coming back and taking on the White Blood Cell as well as the other two previously mentioned in a fight. We are now onto the final two for this show, I wish we could’ve had more but hey it’s still pretty good stuff here.

All through this episode, I was thinking about; if the cancer cells spread and if the owner of the body dies, every single one of them would die too. Just the thought of it made me feel sorry, though I don't think that would happen.

We got to see Red Blood cell Chan again, and platelets too!
It seems like everything is going wrong at the same time, the intestine cells are being attacked by invanding harmful bacteria, while the white blood cells are being attacked by the cancer cell, that is back, bigger and stronger than before!

Another great episode, it's always so entertaining to watch this anime, its concept is so unique!

Is time for NK to finish her mission, along with the white blood cell and the T cell, now as a memory T cell. The cancer attacks again and also a bunch of powerful bacteria at the same time, things look bad for the body. The little bacteria and the commander's assistant are going to be the key to defeat those bacteria and the cancer cell I guess. Another cancer arc is going to start, I want to see the chemotherapy or some kind of treatment, I want to see how they are going to use those concepts. I forgot to mention about the large intestine, they did it good at portraying it as a factory, I thought it was going to be something gross.

YYesssss more mommy NK Cell. <3

One hundred trillion bacteria in the large intestine? Didn't know that.

"Place has gone to shit." LMAO Gee I wonder why!

The lead Platelet girl with the whistle and the white haired Platelet are gorgeous! Here's an interesting fact that I looked up. A rumor was started in China that all the Platelets were male, whereas in Japan, it was rumored they were all female. While we have seen some male Platelets, it's interesting to note we've predominately seen females.

Opportunistic pathogens that align themselves with whichever side is winning? Wow, I never, ever knew about this. That's interesting and realistic considering some countries and people do the same

During the scene of Memory Cell and NK Cell fighting, I loved how WBC looked like an annoyed father who was used to his kids fighting.

Wait, so NK has a purple lightsaber now?

Considering Cancer Cell is a two part finale, I'm very curious to see how this ends.
