| Very despressing episode and signs are pointing to an heart attack coming at some point in the final episodes. Another case and serious cliffhanger ending instantly followed by the upbeat ED :P Amazed how the moment U-1196 rushed in to hug AA2153 gave me instant chills and suddenly teary. The impact of that action repeated 3 times was a truely powerful moment. |

| and to you pro abortionists, now tell me that a fetus is ---JUST--- a lump of cells. but seriously the spleen segment is just euphemism turned up to 9999. that kind of argument is so flimsy I wouldn't even want to tell myself that I associate to such poor sad excuse pathetic of an existence. |

phantomfandom said: Seriously this body... it's not like he has no choice because he still has money to buy tobacco and alcohol but he choose to ignore his health condition, for what! Anyway, good soundtrack as always. The spleen segment is quite a religious metaphor. for what huh? you mas as well why do you wake up everyday. for what? why are we still here? just to suffer? xiquanze said: After watching this show, I won't ever partake in unhealthy behaviour. there's a reason why people do this when they get older. you only say that now because you're still young. wait till you see the full ugliness of old age. you'd wish you'd die early maybe 30 or 40 just like how RBC had suicide thoughts. |

| Pretty good episode of Evangelion. |
| Damn, I actually teared up during this episode. That depression was conveyed really well, as was the emotion at the end. ...Uh oh. I just realized I don't have the vanilla Cells at Work to follow this up with now that the season has ended, so I'm gonna have to find a different palate cleanser ASAP. |

| Poor precious cells. :( Unfortunately, in real life there are lots of people living their unhealthy life like the dude in this show. Wake up, people! |

| Damn, this episode is depressing. Someone save them! |
| BANZAI NIPPON. Nippon is the Land of freedom. Nippon is the Land of Peace. Nippon is the Land of Justice and Prosperity. In Nippon, we trust. We love Nippon, we love Anime. Anime love us, Nippon love us. ζ₯ζ¬ I believe in freedom of expression. |
| True despair, you know you f'ed up in taking care of your body when even your own cells want to end it. |

| As someone who has had gout himself this was very painful to watch. I'll try my best to live better |

| And just like that the Waifu Hug healed him... that's what the narrator should have said. The White cell with bazookas and rifles took me by surprise, I'm so used to them with their sword and knives. |
| That was a hell of a lot of despair. I like the metaphor of pain being used as for the body attempting to encourage a person to take better care of themselves. There's a certain truth to this, such as physical pain itself functioning as a method of discouraging certain actions, such as attempting to touch an open flame. In the case of Code Black, it's the cells screaming at the human to eat better, abstain from drinking and smoking, exercise, and sleep more amongst other issues. But as the Brain Cell noted, he wasn't sure who the true villain of all this suffering was. It could be due to the human maintaining his unhealthy lifestyle for years, or it could be external forces, such as work, leading him to living so terribly. It begs the question of how much choice a person has in living healthy. What do you do if you just can't? |
| The gout was like a story driver. The main focus was on his buddies death still. Sadder than last ep for sure |
| Yeah this episode had a bit of a weird feel, as expected. Usually we go by the rules of a real body, but this time the interaction between cells were not quite how it actually works. |
| This anime does a good job of making you feel bad for cells — anthropomorphism is pure magic. At least there was a cooldown hug at the end. I wouldn't be surprised if the last episode is just "the body" dying. Guy is a mess, and would need to quit everything at once to survive at this point. |

| MC Cell dude attempting to off himself only to be denied that option hit way harder than I was prepared for. Not to mention that hug scene. If your own body rebelling against you isn't a wake-up call, I don't know what is. |
| It just keeps getting worse and worse Cells at work? More like cells overwork |
 |
| White Blood Cell was the perfect cell that could comfort cell AA2153. She's the only one left who's close to him now. I can't imagine how he could go on if White Blood Cell will be gone too! |
 She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did! |
| I feel for RBC and support him saying "fuck it." WBC tiddie gang is too damn sexy! I love how even in the original CAW and Code Black, Memory Cell dresses exquisitely! Mommy Macrophages <3 I had to laugh at all of a sudden big tidddie WBCs have guns and an RPG. I used to watch a streamer who regularly got gout. Never did fully understand it. Thanks, CAW! RBC losing his mindd was long overdue for all the cells, tbh. I say that as I sit here eating, drinking my second can of Coke. My body atm: YOU IDIOT! Yooooo I envy RBC so much. I WANNA HUG WBC, I WANNA HUG HER SO BADLY! |

| Also, it's always comforting to have big breasts pressed against you. |
