| Great episode, but I gotta admit I didn't see the blood transfusion coming lol. Poor Sekkekkyuu got transfused into an even worser body the moment the original one decided to take care of himself. Overall I had a lot of fun watching this anime, I hope we get a second season. 8/10 |
 |
| i definitely didn't expect that isekai ending, haha! poor mc rbc... |
 |
| BAD END. I didn't expect that twist to have them end up in a waaay worse body. lmao It was a great ride and I enjoyed it more than the main series actually. I am not sure if they will really make S2 or that was just troll but either way I am cool with it. |
| 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. |
 |
| I was aiming for the bad ending tho, but yeah this is fine, I loved it, I think this is the best anime I watch in this season. So much we can learn and so much memorable moments in this show. Absolute 8/10 for me. |
 |
| "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. |

| eh too bad the bastard lived i want to learn more about post mortem cellular activity |
 |
| 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. |

| So which chapter should I continue from the manga? |
 |
| Finally this is over, to bad he got transferred into another body. I love when Seto Kaiba- I means Kenjirou Tsuda become The Narrator. overall 9/10 |
  What Does Pot of Greed do?  |
| Looks like the body is better after that heart attack and everybody can work better. Man this was a wild adventure in this body and it made me realize how i need to take care of my body as well. 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 Having Kenjirou Tsuda as the narrator is so goooood. |
 |
| 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. |
| "Even if it has good reviews, if I don't like it then it is shit" -Some random anime character |
| Wow, why did they have to end it like that? So unfair for everyone... Now I feel sad for all the cells of the original body who'll be devastated by the sudden loss of the MC... |
| 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. |
| I enjoyed this last episode and I got surprised by the after credits scene, god damn it! What an intense yet informative journey it was! That all told from the Cells prospective made it into an immersive story The build-up towards the end of the anime was really well done, resulting in an epic final. Although it might look like we are not entirely out of the woods yet...?! I'm going to miss Wit Blood Cell ! |
 |
| Really great season finale! That shit was inspirational as fuck. So, if any of ya'll got any bad habits here, you can see it's not too late to stop it now and let your body heal. It's really nice to see these cells in a healthy working environment, White Blood Cell blushing was adorable as heck. Then that ending came, what a kick in the dick. That shit fucking sucks, let my cells live in peace please. With that, we are most likely getting a second season hopefully. 8/10 |
 |
| That isekai ending seems like a new season incoming. Maybe a corpse with COVID? |
 |
| Just finish watching this anime. Interesting (kinda work this out from start of show) very different to original version. Although I am wondering if there be 2nd season? From end clip I saw. 🤔 |
| Have Great Day =) Animekid3  |
on 
| Finally, it's over. And what the f*** was that epilogue. Who in their right mind would do a blood transfusion from an unhealthy body like that. Was the other body THAT desperate? |
| And it happened right after the former body started getting slightly better too. Looks like the Cells in that body won't ever get any peace lmao. I miss the old buddy of Glasses. Looks like the kouhai will be taking over, he's not too shabby I guess. |
| Now that was an unexpected after-credits scene, that's for sure! It was really inspiring to see all of the RBC working as hard as they could when the heart got restarted and, in a way, we did get a happy ending with this body. Just seeing all of the recognisable characters filled with more happiness and optimism than before is nice, but we were also treated to something incredible... Our WBC, U1196, BLUSHING! Just seeing someone as cool and sexy as her blushing in embarrassment after AA2153 told her that he looked up to her was such a cute moment. X3 However, the peaceful times were over as the host body decided to donate blood, which took both our main WBC and RBC characters into another body, which looks to be less healthy than the original host body ever was. What a way to get isekai'd, you know? XD |
| they should include isekai tag in the next season lol |
 |
| One of my most favorite shows of this season finally ended, i was completely amazed by Code Black, it put the 2nd season of the main show in the pocket, easily. We got to see a way different and darker side of the human body and learn about what several complicated situations can generate inside our bodies and how our organism reacts to those. Super informative as always and this show displayed every single one of the cases in a splendid way. I'm totally amazed by this, no doubts about it. I just wanted to point out my favorite part of this show, wich was on episode 11, that cry for help, the cry of the own cells of the host's body, screaming their hearts out for the host to wake up to life and realize wtf he/she is doing to his/her own body. That scene completely moved me, not joking. And now it seems that even after that body was saved from a life threatening situation, he/she got his/her blood taken for donation, RIP cells who thought they finally had an in shape (not totally in shape yet xD) body to work on. I do feel bad for them, but im hella happy because that means a 2nd season will be coming soon? I just hope so! (Though, it was weird that someone with a body like that would be available to donate blood right away but i guess it was just a twist to open up a 2nd season kekw) 9/10 fantastic show |
 |
| Everything seems fine now that the body is changing for the better little by litte :) Well, what do we have here? A moment between Red and White Blood Cell being embarrassed at each other? X3 Oh, the awkwardness, now that's cute and I like it! <3 Oh no, the after credits were pretty harsh and now they all start from zero ^^; does this sound like a season 2 comming up? Great season, and my final score will be a well deserved 8/10 from me :D I enjoyed watching this dark side versio from the body! |
 [*]My Completed List [*]♪Listen ► [/list][/left] |
| OMG poor red blood cells who got transferred to a worse body... |
| Holy shit that post credit ending, they got isekai-ed to even worst body... Talk about a hard day at work! NGL Black was way better that the OG S1+2, solid and well deserved 9/10 because nothing in my 30 years of live has motivated me more to take care about my health. |
 |
| Blushing White Blood cell is everything I needed to end this series lol. Damn they were both transfused to a different body...thats unfortunate lol |
| Listen to my podcast https://anchor.fm/waifusandweeaboos Follow my twitch. https://www.twitch.tv/sorasensei1 Spring 2024 Waifus on Profile "You can have multiple Waifus" -me |
| That was a really great finale.................................. until that god awful post credits scene. That was an absolute kick in the balls and it spat all over the rest of the episode. They should have saved that Ozzy and Drix BS for the opening scene of a potential season 2. |
| How is possible a guy with a record of alcoholism, smoking, STD, and heart attack was allowed to donate blood? Not even in the IMSS (my country's supposed-to-be social secure institution) they would do that. |
| No tomo malas decisiones, solo me gusta apoyar causas perdidas. Disfruté Mayoiga, Ou-sama Game, Evil or Live, Mirai Nikki, Big Order, Arifureta, Ex-Arm, Tesla Note, Shuumatsu no Harem y Platinum End nope les falle con esa, lo siento pero todos tenemos nuestros límites. Así de jodido es mi gusto en anime, ¡Y estoy pinche orgulloso de ello!  |
| I'm in the minority because I enjoyed the original Cells At Work more. I wasn't a fan of the constant dark tone, and the characters and drama bored me. Buut, the medical stuff here was more interesting than the original, and Cells At Work CODE BLACK made me want to take even just a bit more care of my body. I did not see the blood transfusion ending coming. Feel bad for the characters, but it's great for more content. A lot of awkward critique towards Japan's work culture. Might be looking too deep though. we're going to work ourselves to death! it's a toxic workplace environment! etc etc! isnt that horrible?! well, yes, but its also the right thing to do!! lol |
   |
| Geez, this episode.(⌯˃̶᷄ ﹏ ˂̶᷄⌯) It's crazy that despite all their hardwork it isn't good enough. The way they struggle just to save the body pulled my hearstrings. I'm glad that the owner of that body is also trying to live. The ending tho, it seems like the red blood cells would not catch a break huh? Well, I'll be waiting for season 2! ♡✧( ु•⌄• ) |
  |
| it was a happy ending then the post credit scene...... |
 It's useless! From here on, the path is only a One-way road! Just put your tail between your legs and get your ass back where you came from! - Accelerator |
| RBC be like: Ah Shit, Here We Go Again |

| Wow there is a miracle in every situation and this is one of them... The emotion hits hard when our boy delivered the oxygen to that lady... When they thought everything is fine, then transfusion blood happened and they ended up in different body... But I'm so surprised how can this Trash body allowed to have blood transfusion... Lmao Plot Twist... Possibly next season? Surprisingly a very good Spin-off 8/10 👏 |

| Man that ending is a kick in the nuts, poor red and white cell, just when everything was looking fine needle-kun came and isekaed them. |
| wow that was nice to see the original body decided to pull itself together and get its shit straight, but damn, that ending was messed up. Why can't the RBC just get the freedom he wanted D: Overall though, I did enjoy this one as much as the original. It's nice to see and learn about what a fuked up body is like, very informative tbh I feel like a lot of people completely forget that this is meant to be the POV from the cells themselves, so all these "glorifying over work" complaints just seem so silly lmao body of an ugly bastard/10 el_morris said: How is possible a guy with a record of alcoholism, smoking, STD, and heart attack was allowed to donate blood? Not even in the IMSS (my country's supposed-to-be social secure institution) they would do that. i think the author admitted himself that it's unrealistic (cause people with heart attack/heart surgery cant donate blood or smth) but decided to add it in anyway |
 'On-Hold' is another way for a completionist to say 'Dropped' |
