It was a happy ending, at least until after the credits

If you have a next season, the problems of this body will be much worse than the previous one, and they will have to create empathy for the cell phone of this new body (I already have an idea of how, even if they change some things in the manga)

Was not expecting that twist at the end. Great anime, maybe we will get season 2 someday. Btw which chapter should I start the manga?


They changed the order of the diseases in the manga, so I advise you to read from the beginning, some diseases like pulmonary embolism and the energetics were after the transfusion in the manga

They adapted chapters well out of order, you might as well start from the begining.

Dang a transfer to an even worse body was not what I was expecting, but dang it makes me want a second season. And for a spin off series, that's a first for me.

Honestly for a spin off this was a much better show than I thought it might be, honestly kind of enjoyed it a bit more than the original. And now I kind of want another spin off, maybe this time get a puberty body, see what they can do for entertainment with that (imagine the erection episode for that).

The fact that the subsequent events are happening when the world's in darkness really adds to the horror thats going through the cells though. Still RB cells speech reflected well on the many lessons that he had learned from working in the body and the many encounters and experiences he had with other cells. The prayers and wishes of the cells for the body to fight on was really impressive in showing their determination to keep working till the bitter end. The resultant deliveries sure produced some impressive reactions from the cells. After that near death experience looks like the owner is finally starting to change his ways. Overall an excellent ep to end the series with that combined excellent tension with hope and determination to fight to the last.

Wow. Just wow, this season was absolutely amazing. I cannot believe they got transfused to another Code: Black environment, this is definitely the perfect segway for a season 2, so hopefully, we have that to look forward to.

I was wondering how they'd continue the series as the body would either die and the series would end, or it would survive healthily and the end, so nicely done.

When everything has been solved, another issue arrives as AA2153 finds himself in a new environment with worse conditions. I hope to see a second season announced soon ^_^

I liked this. It was enjoyable, thrilling and meaningful. Tackled different situations and how we should cope with them.

Nice finale. I liked this spin-off more than season two of the original.

Damn, just when everything was going well they seem to have been transported to another body??

Well, it sets up for a potential second season - looking forward to it!

4:44 this body.... is trying to live

umm no. OTHER people are trying to revive this body because it has to pay rent and taxes and hospital bills. and he has enough of that soul-sucking 9-5 job. that's why this body is resorting to alcohol, smoking etc.

previous episode they used euphemism and dialed up to 9999. this time the main character is just straight up telling lies and propaganda.

wow why was it getting emotional seeing them all beg for the body to live, its so weird to see it from that perspective..

also everything was looking back to normal and almost the ship of the season came true

BUT GETTING TRANSFUSED INTO ANOTHER BODY IS JUST CRUEL TF

at least all the main characters got put in the new body and that means another season with new characters too pogu

Just when I thought everything was back to normal they got isekaid... I certainly did not expect that.

It was a fine show. I'm not a big fan of them saying things like "we, cells have to work till we die", they made overworking look like it's something to be proud of or a responsibility. I know that's not what they wanted it to mean but it came across to me that way. It didn't have any big flaws or things I didn't like except that one so it was a fine show in my opinion. I liked the original more since I'm into cute shows more than dark ones.

Forced to put a good ending, but unfortunately the previous chapter is the end for many, when it can be avoided

An anime that has gone unnoticed this season, it turns out, has been one of the best of its kind.

That confession of erythrocyte, will remain for the next season, what is what they have shown in the end, will there be another confirmation apart from that?

who didn't cry by today is lying - that's my take :)

This is very unrated. I believe this would help many people that eat bad, smoke or don't treat the world with respect due.
I believe this should have end with death - and I would advice to any grimdark lover as one of the grimmest animes I've watch and I watch a lot. Although desirable is the redemption and some hope on the horizon so I understand this twist.

Thank you for your all work. Even better that cells at work (the "white" one).

Of course, the anime can't finish with a happy ending. Now, the red blood cell (AA2153) and his rookie, as well as white blood cell (U-1196), got transferred to another body in a terrible state.

So we got a happy ending after all, the body is back on it's feet and for once looking after itself as well.

Or so we thought.... They Isekaied to another, even worse Code Black body... That's rough luck.

Overall, pretty fun show. Not better than the OG series in my opinion, however it does make you pay attention to what will happen to your body if you don't take care of it. A good lesson learned really. Gonna miss the white blood cells ... 7/10

This was a great final episode, I even got a lil teary-eyed in some parts and I was so happy to see most cells safe and sound. The part about how all the cells are insignificant on their own but they rely on each other and come together to achieve something great was a nice message. That scene after the outro though was tough, I wonder what's gonna happen to them and I wonder if we're gonna see white blood cell again. Poor dudes can't catch a break.

Ffs, not going to lie I wanted a bad ending; it is supposed to be a dark series and make itself more different from the main series which also had a happy ending.

I watched this series and enjoyed it more because it had a bit more drama. It had a vastly different body condition to the main series and a loss of life shown more impact.

The next body has to fail surely.

Great season (series?) finale. So just when this body changed its ways (a close dance with death can have that effect) the two leads, along with a newbie, were transfused into another body in an even worse state, which I thought was not possible...

In the mainline Hataraku Saibou anime, where the genders of red and white blood cells are reversed, a blood transfusion was already shown but the other way around (the body the cells live in got a blood transfusion from another donor).

Assuming we get a season 2 of Black we are going to see our main leads living and working in another body, like exiles, which should be quite interesting.

But the bright times before credits were strange,the person made a 180 turn, no fat,no stress(somehow), and magically no smoking and alcoholism(both looked brink of cancer)

So at least 12 months passed since gonorrhea episode. Seeing that you can just donate blood after 12 months after treatment. Or someone lied to donate.

"If one by one, the works may be insignificant. But with all the efforts of us, cells at works. The body was able to live on"
Work, work, and work! The motto suddenly ringing my minds in no time xd.

Well. That after credit scene actually really got me hard. The transfusion ended the poor Rbc-kun into the whole black code lifes cycle again in a completely worst situations. No time for happy end. I even think its an unsatisfying finisher. But that's it all, for you who wanted the never ending desperation for your beloved Rbc-kun xd. Well, at least he got a new friend to be cared off, and a lover to be loved. Together they will be fighting with the new environment from the very first beginning again. Ganbare, cells at works!

About the score, if this spin-off right cutting off at the previous episode, the series shall be easily end at my 9. However, this 'alternative end', and especially that 'additional what if' scene, unbeliavably give me a bit of bad taste in my mouth. So, yeah, i shall reducing my point against that by 8. However, as the overall these black one truly entertaining more than the main series. Its an undeniable truth. So, yeah, hope the franchises are not death, and bringing more spin-off show can be good for the sake of a better educational anime transition to the industry.

That's it all from me.

I was expecting that blood transfusion to link up with the one at the end of season 1 of the main Cells at Work, and our cells would have to come together for the corona virus, which I hear is the final part of the main series. Maybe that was wishful thinking lol

I wasn't expecting a "happy" ending, but I guess it gives the message that changing your bad lifestyle can improve your body and health. It sucks for our cells to now be placed into a new body in poor health soon after the other one got better. I wonder if we'll get another season.

NO SHIT! Fuck that after-credits scene. Seriously, that was such a "fuck you" to my boy RBC. He just got sucked out of this now healthy body to be placed inside yet another shitty environment via blood donation/blood transfusion. Man, that's so rough.

Well, unfortunate turn of events aside, it was a pretty nice finale for this highly informative spin-off. The body received some CPR which ended up saving its owner's life and said event even managed to make him change his poor lifestyle given the near-death experience. In the end, it was a happy ending for the body but not so much for poor RBC and WBC. The scene with him saying how much he admired her was pretty cute, by the way.

Overall, a pretty good complement for the original Cells at Work! project. Honestly, I will never understand the people who shit on the original for not being "dark" enough like BLACK but well. They can go fuck themselves and as someone above said, both versions have their own charm and should be taken as complements instead of individual shows.

8/10 - Hoping for a second season or if anything, an adaptation for the Cells at Work! Lady or Cells at Work! Baby manga.

That heart attack really scared me ngl. TOO bad when it was just about to get good HE GETS TRANSFERED TO ANOTHER BODY.

Good watch liked it a lot better than regular cells at work. I would give it 8/10

Hataraku Saibou Black is probably the most important anime made in 2021 or ever. It has made me feel horrible while watching it but it made me realize I need to take care of my body. It's very dark but I'm really gald I watched it. Take care of yourselves everybody.

8/10. Likes this as much as I liked the other seasons (normal Hataraku Saibou). Both had is pros and cons. And tbh a lot of times I liked the normal Hataraku Saibou a bit more - on average.

Some great episodes here though ... that were better than any episode in the original series had been. Last episode was great. With the old lady and the emotional moments. Red guy delivering again and meeting the commander guy.

The ending was weird. Unless it was a blood donatoin for own use and they got injected into a different part of the same body. (Where surgery happened where the situation had been still pretty bad.)

Just when you thought the body finally took care of itself and became healthier, it decides to donate its blood to an unhealthy person. It's a good thing to do, but I feel bad for the cells.

I wanna see a second season.
