Can't believe they downgraded the best cell on the whole human body, the Eosinphilus, to a cell to be bullied. Good to see they showed her beat a parasyte on her own.


Now I wonder, since only one Eosinphilus beated a whole parasyte on her own, if we are ever gonna see a Neutrophilus do a NET, or how would it be.

Eosinophil was a pretty good addition, so was Basophil, he's pretty funny. The white blood cells are great! Those other cells were really mean to Eosinophil, so I was glad that she was able to show off her potential by killing that gigantic, monstrous parasite by herself.

I thought I already knew everything about the immune system, but here I learned about two types of white blood cells I didn't know about.
Was that too much detail to be included on the magic school bus, or have I just forgotten?...

Did Neutrophil and Red Blood Cell go on a date in the gastric system? LOL

Eosinophil is best new cell. Her cute pink outfit and blonde twin tails won me over. It’s cute to see the platelets scattered about here and there. I wish they would feature them more.

Basophil is Mr. Edgelord, he’s like the Sasuke of this series.

Eosinophil was so badass killing that parasite.

Also, that parasitic infection scared me. It’s one of the reasons I don’t eat raw fish like Korean hoe or Japanese sashimi. Although, I’m sure their standards for cleanliness are probably higher than that of Thailand and Vietnam, reading stories of people who consumed carcinogenic fish scared me. I don’t like raw fish anyway. Koi pla, a dish from Thailand have has reportedly caused liver cancer in quite a number of people and I rather lessen my chances by avoiding it altogether.

They should honestly give these characters some names. I mean, they have names in the database, but they still refer to them in general terms, and it is difficult to remember some of them.

Pathogens are one thing, but parasites? No way. I don't want to deal with any of that.

Nice to see what Eosinophil specializes in. She doesn't deal with germs very well, but she can deal with parasites better than neutrophils. Darn it, now I'm thinking that there should be an RTS game that feature cells in a body...

Not to hate on the series, but it's starting to get a bit repetitive. Introduce a pathogen, introduce the cell that deals with said pathogen, save the day repeat. Well at least it's a good learning experience.

And somebody needs to get Basophil out of here!

Before now I always thought there were only a few types of WBC’s and they all did basically the same thing. Besides being amusing this series is educational.

Macrophage is still best waifu, but the competition is heating up fast.

I'm just glad I don't like eating raw fish >-< Its scarry seeing those horror parasites that contains in a fish that isn't cooked! No way!

Having sharp abdominal pain and vomiting are both bad experiences that we don't want it to repeat. I'm glad this episode made me open my eyes that eating raw fish is not good.

Great episode as always! Looking forward to continue watching till the last one ^^

Here comes the tsundere, however, his expression at the end of the episode is so pretty, that he flies over the fact that it is another character quite stereotyped. In each episode there have never been missed opportunities to show how much the characters do not try to go for serious people, given their light-hearted way of acting on more than one occasion during the anime series.

What the hell is this human doing to his body? He got diseases such as influenza type B and A and now this person got food poisoning along with a damn parasite after eating some probably low-quality sushis, sashimi or something.

Basophil's VA was Gintoki's VA. With that kind of character personality, it's a nice match.

Eosinophil was quick to save the day... She might have weak phagocytic effects but she's capable of getting rid of parasites. Plus, she's cute af!!! Eosinophil is the girl in this show IMO so far![/b]

You definitely can't have a Cells at Work episode without Neutrophil being completely drenched in blood~ That kill where he burst out of that bacteria was brutal. Eosinophil was no match for germs because it's not her specialty but thanks to the host being one of the most careless people to ever have a body, she got to show what she was really capable of by owning that giant parasite.

Basilophil's just there appreciating the chaos of it all and setting the ominous tone with his vague and mystical words. It was funny to see him hold up an umbrella when nothing's raining down only to see him not use an umbrella when the gastric juices came splashing down.

Oh well thankfully she's not just a character who suddenly got powerup from plot

It is based on the real human body, but there is also a lot i presume being used for creative freedom. So yeah based on the real thing but not 100% accurate.

Basophil-san is my favourite character so far. Couldn't stop laughing whenever he starts talking nonsense. In real life, basophils role is still unknown, so the producers were like "let's just have him walk around and philosophies about everything".
And did not expect a tsundere eosinophil either

Knew this that this ep is for Eosinophil. Happy to see the same RBC and WBC are still together and didn't got lost in this ocean of cells. There too much fight than I expected. I better have gave it some credit. Basophil was creepy but I think he was funny after all.

That man-eating worm parasite was pretty scary looking. I'm glad Eosinophil was able to take it down! Now I wonder how long it'll take for them to forget this lesson and have to figure out who deals with the parasites all over again.

This episode was really intriguing, I absolutely loved the little date between the protagonists at the beginning of the episode, the new character was interesting. I must say that the scene where the neutrophil was soaked in blood was rather funny and sexy
