| Something tells me that the Red Blood Cell was just infected by the bacterium. We'll see. |
| The platelets are so cute I could cry. Also I love how the 'nutrients' are two baguettes and an orange haha. |

| That was very entertaining, though I pretty much ignore most of the technical stuffs, biology was my weakest science subject back in school. The art is also really clean. It's doing almost everything well and it's such a fresh feeling to be watching something like this. This is shounen comedy done right, so far. |

| Really lovely start of this series, I was really looking forwards to see this series being finished and I sure am going to love marathoning it! |
 |
| The opening did really well to introduce what's going on in a human's body, but with a twist, ANTHROMOSIZED CELLS!!! The song itself is nice and cheerful but it get more melodic in the second half of the 1.5-minute opening. The ED as expected from shows with a similar type of genres are simple soothing ED with some kawaii factors into it. Nice and great, I like them! Hataraku Saibou (Cells at Work) IS THE PEAK OF ANTHROMOFICATION!!! As a person who's studying biology, this show is PERFECT!!! However, as a human being, I will no longer look at my 30+ trillions of cells as mere cells, but yet as cool looking, cute and sexy cells depending on their function and basic appearance. I'm assuming that all these cells talk to each other thanks to their glycoproteins (realistically) A RED BLOOD CELL THAT BLEEDS RED BLOOD?! NANI?!?!?! Besides that, A RED BLOOD CELL THAT (maybe) HAVE ROMANTIC FEELINGS FOR A WHITE BLOOD CELL?! NANI?!?!?! |

| That episode was awesome! A great start to the show. There was definitely a cuteness overload with the platelets! It's been such a long time since I've watched a 'damsel in distress' situation (White Blood Cell saving the Red Blood Cell) that I enjoyed this much, and then I realized that they are cells and it just messes with my head :( Is it just me or did the bacterium's character design remind you of Meruem from Hunter x Hunter? Overall, very entertaining, looking forward to where the plot is headed. I'm hoping for a more overarching plot, rather than an episodic take. |
| As a bio major and otaku, I am very very excited. It's like a throwback of Ozzy and Drix, but anime style :} So obvs that pneumococcus was in her box lmao xD And when she opened the door and saw him but shut it XD Classic I-didn't-see-shit reaction hahhaha |

| While the biology classes I attend are okay at best, I had a lot of fun watching this and surprisingly learned a lot from it too. They sure did a good job in presenting these pretty complicated bodily processes in a very entertaining and understandable way. I've seen a lot of pictures of the Platelets but I never thought that they'd be this cute. White Blood Cell reminds me so much of The Captain from Hellsing Ultimate and that's hot. That one stray drop of blood mixed in your urine might just be a Red Blood Cell looking for the longs after all~ I just sneezed a few minutes after the episode so I can imagine my nose being North Korea now, wow. |
 |
| I wouldn't recommend this anime at all. |
 |
| The red blood cell girl is really cute also the platelets. I enjoyed watching this and very creative to depict how the cells work in a human body |

| The platelets were so cuuuute |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Just start name dropping this anime in biology homework as much as possible. Heh. Good show, educational. |
ayase1234 said: So true!! I came across this anime after watching dr.stone and thought about giving it a try as I was just recently studying about them in biology..:) But it truly went beyond my expectations!! I may like this one more than dr.stone. I really gotta hand it to its author for their wild imagination and her creativity... I will most probably remember about them whenever I study biology...It's pretty educative as well as entertaining... As it is our body that the story is about, we find it all the more interesting and I never once thought biology could be this fun!!..Lol:) It even made me think of taking bio classes more seriously as aside from our professor's classes, I found the subject to be boring and uninteresting... There was a meme I came across where a guy gets a scrape and cries seeing these cute little characters working so hard non-stop. I may feel like that too and more often now as I go out...since Covid-19 has completely changed our world now in a way... Never thought this much fiasco happens to destroy a single germ.. A really good impression on the first episode.. Entertaining, educative and pretty good and elaborate at that.. Glad you enjoyed this as much as i did! Glad we are having a 2s in January and also a spinoff, you should check it. Lmao, you are going to spinoff then if you already enjoyed this much the normal one. Exactly, this anime gives a completely different approach on biology and the human body. Platelets were the dominant meme in that season, so i wouldn't be surprised xD It's tough for all of us, but i hope next year things will be better, just check the Next season, what a great way to start the year. Btw i also watched Dr Stone and enjoyed it way to much xD |

| Got bored and figured I'd check this one out. Better than I expected! |
 |
| This anime is really good, in this anime it is shown that all the cells in the human body are working In the spleen there is a woman wearing a maid dress, lmao |
 |
| That's the one anime I maybe should've watched with German subs, some of these biological terms were a bit hard for me in English. That setting is so unique though and the first episode was great. |
| That was both funny and educational. :D Nice start! This actually reminds me of the French animated series "Il était une fois... la vie" (Once Upon a Time... Life.) It was aired on TV when I was a kid. It was produced in 1987, so it's kinda old. |

| Pretty funny to be the first episode. WBC was really cool. RBC was really funny. Also the leader Pneumococci. That storage 7 scene was a real treasure XD !!! Can't stop laughing, hahaha !!! |

| Randomly started this on Netflix, honestly this show is ridiculous but super easy to follow / understand if you’ve taken basic biology A&P. |
| The creativity of the author is mind blowing to make a plot from human body cells working in an environment to defeat the the platelets were adorable!!! |
| Funny how a blood cell can have blood splattered onto them. I feel bad seeing the cells work so hard compared to me being useless and lazy 24/7.... |
 |
| i'll just say i have a medical background and love this so much also platelets <3 |
 |
| What a show.. Those virus reminds me of parasite "hydra” on the j4b ๐ |
 |
| Cells at Work is ridiculously cute, and unlike my only other frame of reference for anthropomorphic cells, Osmosis Jones, Cells at Work lets me look up bodily terminology and refresh my memories of middle and high school health class. It's interesting that the show doesn't really attempt to realistically portray the body, and instead imagines it as a literal metropolis with pathways, rooms, and structures that just so happen to bear the names of body parts. In some ways, it makes Cells at Work's world less organic and fleshy. Out of context, it's hard to tell that this show is about the body. I'm curious to see how the show progresses in that sense. |
| Great first episode. With those charm characters this show is gonna be special. |
| This episode taught me more than my biology class ever did lmao. |
 |
| They really made the white blood cells all white just to stain them red with the bacterium blood from their hunts lmao I rarely have fun while being directly educated but the sheer amount of charm in this can't get me to stop smiling. |
| I wonder if this was government-funded.... |
| It was like being back in biology class but with more fun learning methods. I'm slightly annoyed at the 3803 red blood cell... but the 1146 white blood cell was cool! Well, that's the job of white blood cells anyway, hahaha. The platelets were so adorable :3 |
 |
| Pretty interesting to watch. Made me brush back my high school biology. Let's see how it unfolds in later episodes... |
 |
| Well, this is a fun and educational anime |
 |
| An anime about the body, this is gonna be interesting. This first episode was very enjoyable i like the red blood cell along with the white blood cell, and there fight against the germ was cool though i feel like he will be back. The animation is also pretty good. |
