Those adorable platelets are back again :D

Looks like the episode deals with heat stroke. Not good considering how it affects almost everyone in the body. Heat stroke is scary honestly and it seems the cells in the body has trouble dealng with it.

Pretty thrilling episode if you ask me. It's great they got the water going though in the end!

Heat stroke being shown as global warming pretty creative. Talk about taking advantage of the terrain though Bacillus sure is crafty. Environments that are hot and dark are perfect for it. WB cell really is at a disadvantage here. The sweat captain praying for rain sure was funny though. But to think that this created a miracle in though. After that heat its nice to see the cells cool off.

After seeing that bacterium being a smug asshole through the episode, his death was really satisfying.

That is NOT a face of mercy.

The platelets were adorable as always. Poor things tried too hard. Fortunately, Neutrophil-kun was here to help them! Such a great cell.

Thank God they are going to go with the hypovolemic shock as the season finale. It's the perfect stopping point for this season. Two episodes left... Going to miss this.

When that cell started praying for rain this was the best!

I know I have to cool my body but it's so hard in this hot like hell country and mom keeps turning the ceiling fan speed down. It's the only way to cool down in summer T-T

The guilty face of that bacteria XD Sorry pal, but you are NOT going to win!

After watching this episode, it made me feel bad and that I've made my cells worry many times before in my childhood... dizziness, fainting... those are the symptoms I experienced the most when I was young and it was not exactly related to Heat Stroke... having diarrea and vomiting are the worst feelings ever and I had one not too long ago... need to stay Hydrated for the sake of my hard working cells º\(>o<)/º

Great episode like always! Those adorable Platelets <3

The more I look at this anime, the more I feel guilty to all my cells that works inside of my every single day while I'm an "always ill" person.
I get heatstrokes really easily and seeing how they're suffering (like me) makes me sad... I don't want to hurt you, my cells (੭ ˃̣̣̥ ㅂ˂̣̣̥)੭ु

Oh, this one was good, with all of those RBCs taking off their shirts, I mean, the heatstroke is a fearsome condition indeed, the cells were powerless against it by themselves, so even I was relieved when that cell's prayer reached the "heavens", and someone finally helped the poor owner of this body to cool it down. xD And now the next episode is going to be beginning of the end, and I have a feeling this is going to be good!

Another interesting episode, this show surely knows how to keep one entertained.

Translators made a mistake, tho, it's infusion not transfusion.

Fun episode...teaches us not to take heat stroke lightly.

The cell praying for rain and the bacterium cowering in fear are funny and best moments of the episode.

Just earlier this summer, Japan faced an alarming heat wave that was over 40 degrees Celsius or over 104 degrees Fahrenheit. Several people died, including a few kids, I believe. I also suffered from heat stroke twice in my life and I literally fainted. I experienced it once in Anaheim, L.A. when we went to a swap meet and in the Philippines while I was walking outside. I seriously thought I was going to die. I felt immensely better and regained consciousness when they put me in an air-conditioned car and clinic. I can imagine what this body in Hataraku Saibou is going through. It's fucking scary to go through a heat stroke. I sweat a lot though so it rarely happens, I've only experienced it twice after all.

I'm happy to see more cute moments with the Platelets. Honestly, I can go through several episodes with just them, I need cuteness overload ever since Gakuen Babysitters ended.

I laughed so hard when I saw that needle/injection. We rarely see medicine, the last time we saw one was the steroid during allergy season. This wasn't medicine though, more like a supplement or replenishing IV with vitamins. I've had it a couple times before. Some girls in Asia do it to make their skin whiter. The captain dancing for rain was pretty funny too.

I thought these scenes were adorable, especially the two platelets hugging Neutrophil's leg because they were scared:

I always wanted to know what externally introduced medication would look like in this world. I finally get to see it. Yay!!

The background RBCs were really funny to watch this episode. One hot one was shirtless, and a random one was stripped down to his boxers. A cute RBC was getting ready t strip off her shirt too.

The end was so satisfying. The bacteria's face was hilarious.

Now, I finally know what happens when humans in this world faint.

I learnt what is exactly happening when I am dizzy.

The rain ritual made me laugh so hard because I knew it was time for a deus ex machina. This is the only anime, I can think of, that can get away with a deus ex machina.

Oh boy, that bacterium was hyper smug, with the body suffering from heat stroke and all of the cells were struggling in the increasing heat, especially our favourite WBC, U1146.

Thankfully, the cells' prayers (including the amusing captain that reverted to tribal water dancing XD) were answered with the infusion of IV's, that helped the body recover. The best part of the episode was when U1146 finally got the chance to take down that smug bastard bacteria once and for all. His face shows NO mercy! =D

Plus, this episode also had a little bit of fanservice with the red blood cells removing their jackets and some going further to remove their t-shirts as well. I think that's as much fanservice as we're going to get with this show and I'm fine with that. =)

Great episode overall and next time looks to be a two-parter for the final two episodes. looking forward to it!

That felt like an end of the world/body episode. Of all the introduced bacteria, that Cereus is one annoying, though that make sense by using the state of the body in his advantage and escape. Glad that WBC showing his no mercy look, and killed him. So satisfying.

So the body world was save from heatstroke global warming with the transfusion of IV fluid miracle rain.

Two episodes left and its about Hemorrhagic shock. And this one looks deadly.

This episode missed an opportunity for some light fanservice. After the arrival of needed fluids through the syringe and everything was cooling down they should've made everyone change into their swimwear and started enjoying the water all around them like they would going to the beach.

Really nice episode, and we got to see many platelets again, which made me very happy. It was much needed after such platelet-less episodes. Heat stroke sure is scary though. Fortunately it is usually not that hard to prevent, at least where I live. Bacteria's face at the end was really funny though. He got his deserved ending after WBC recovered.

Excellent episode, quite informative and since I've never suffered from heat stroke, this episode showed me that it's indeed a serious problem.

So the finale will be divided in two episodes and it'll basically be focused on "blood loss"... I don't know what to think, I hope it's not so dramatic... RBC may have a hard time next week.

I remember getting an IV drip once for having a pretty bad fever and vomiting. The flow of cool saline water into my fevered burning arm was the most amazing feeling ever.The best was when it was set to max flow when my fever subsided, right before I was discharged.

Seeing the cells feeling absolutely refreshed when the tube from the sky started releasing water kinda reminded me of that feeling.

Another BEAUTIFUL AND GREAT EPISODE- this time it deals about how the body responds to excessive temperature.

This time RBC, WBC and those cute paltelets are involved. I just love they have shown how the body reacts to such condition plus some signs and symptoms... hahaha... and that IV Fluid (or PNSS)... hahaha...

Just look at those cells when the IV fluid runs through their body. Hahaha...

Ohh 2 more CUTE AND INFORMATIVE EPISODE remaining and this time its all about hemorrhagic shock... im so excited about this one...

thankfully this episode was better than the last episode(which felt original content and must be skip!) and this time had some interesting amusing moments. I think they could have handle the villain more edgy and the situation more chaotic. But still anyway, never did experienced this heat stroke but watching this episode could make me imagine how it affects our body.. must drink more H2O!
