definitely weaker than season 1. while that ending with the good bacteria was pretty...too much focus on plain regular Cell and those adorable good bacteria. alot of main White Blood Cell too.

at least it kept its colorful charm and cuteness...and we got Backwards Cap, more NK Cell, and T Cell’s punch thing
7/10...woulda been an 8 if was a full season

And so it ends. Tbh, even though I liked the previous season more, this was still enjoyable. My only grip was that the main Red Blood Cell got sidelined and that the segments they adapted felt way shorter than the ones of the first season. At least it got a determinate plot with the lactobacillales and the return of Cancer Cell in the last episodes. That fox-shaped oportunistic bacteria voiced by Yukari Tamura was a welcome surprise as well.

Well, will wait for a sequel if it ever comes. Hopefully they will adapt the coronavirus chapter that will server as the ending of the series.

Preferred this season to the 1st one. This season seemed to have more of a plot and also it also felt more serious then the 2nd season which I preferred also.

Regulatory T cell doesn't care what you look like and do to others or the environment, but only cares about correct spelling on documentation. Loved the way she dodged that though.

Well, it's come to an end. I honestly didn't care for the plot of the second season other than the last couple of episodes. It felt like they completely ran out of ideas so they went with a story arc approach lasting a few episodes compared to the episodic nature of season 1.

Hey, I was wondering, did you simply copy-paste that comment from gogoanime? Either you are the same person or simply like the comment >.> I smelled something fishy when I realised I saw the same comment from there XD

I'm gonna miss Cells at Work :( I wish there were more episodes. Season 2 was definitely different than season 1. Season 1 was more happy-go-lucky while season 2 was deeper. The animation was amazing this episode. I loved the fight scenes and I can't believe I teared up for a cancer cell (。╯︵╰。) His last word were gold and I also teared up at Ordinary cell with the Lactic Acid Bacteria. I'm really gonna miss this show. Would it be too much to hope for a season 3? Time to read the manga!

And so the Lactic Acid Bacterium save the day, and probably the season honestly as the story arc surrounding those cute little guys was easily the best part of said season. I'll give this a 7/10, same as the first season. I am a little disappointed there was only 8 episodes. I assume this was because the spinoff show got extra episodes. Maybe I'll watch it eventually, but I honestly feel no desire to atm. Oh well.

Peforin Cannon Punch was quite epic not gonna lie!

Pretty sad it's already come to an end, but it's a happy end. Cancer Cell has been dealt with and the body is back to it's normal state.

Was nice to have a bit of a story arc in Cells at Work for once. Pretty good executed, just feel that with only just 8 episodes, it really is short :(

Still enjoyed it a lot!

Cells at work season 2 is finally over wioth that being said it was pretty good, I would say that fighting against the cancer cell in this season was epic, especially the M-Tcell Peforin Cannon Punch.

Although it was a bit short I would give it an 8/10 because of that.

I didn't even know there was a movie, but that explains why half the season was just about the good bacteria. I also felt that Red Blood Cell got kinda shafted this season.

It's over already?! They could always just fill the last 4 episodes with platelets going "Ano ne! Ano ne!" and macrophages going "Ara ara!"... I really won't mind!

This season dragged a bit despite being shorter but it was still great. Needed more RBC, though. This show: Not enough RBC. She even had a new kouhai that we barely saw. Code Black: WAY too much RBC. He's in literally every scene even when he's just standing there doing nothing and has no purpose.

Definitely worse than the first season. The production value was pretty bad overall. The death shot of the cancer cell was pretty cool at least. The whole cancer ark with the normal cell derping around with helpful bacteria was a nice break from episodic stuff, but the first few eps were pretty meh. If only the production was a little better.

A battle that takes place day after day, against bacteria, viruses, cancerous and harmful cells, I cannot estimate how many problems our body saves us from, it is amazing!

Only I saw a difference in the 3dcg design at the end of the chapter? I understand that these years you need to use this tool but combine it with 2d designs, it is very noticeable, not only in this show but in many more

Now to wait for the movie, this arc of bad bacteria was very informative, but there were less interactions between the other characters so it does not exceed the first season, even so David P. as always did a great job, congrats!

Kind of sucked that cancer rerun was the final, but it was a decent part of this arc. The lactic acid bacteria arc was in general terrible, made worse by the fact it sucked up 5/8 of the season. And RBC being reduced to a side character. The narration this episode was particularly bad. Season should have ended at episode 3 and would have been just as good.

Memory T Cell's "secret" technique was super dumb but hey, it got the job done at the end xD

Pretty fitting way to conclude this second season. Fight against Cancer Cell sure was intense but thankfully, tables could be turned in the end once Lactic Acid Bacterium managed to find his other good bacteria friends. WBC dealing the final blow looked pretty badass, by the way.

Overall, as good as the first season in terms of content. Such a shame it was only eight episodes long this time tho.

8/10 - With two seasons out, I now hope they can also adapt the Covid chapter at some point in the future.

Perforin Cannon Punch~
Good thing T-cell memories got an evolved one, so that chemical reaction could be activated. Its even disillusionized T-cell Regulatory from her self-immune system mistake. However, its not enough to gave the cancer cell a good pressure. Until what happened lately in the depth of intestine ocean.

So thats how they ended up the whole cancer live, not even used any outsider help this time. Enough with a good bacteria hordes deep at intestine environment. They took control it again from the demonic bacterias invasion. The cancer cell survival ability progression to be lethal could be pressured down easily, thanks to that later situations. Good educational information from the balance-good of intestine environment that mostly responsibles to the whole immune body system to defend the body formed a beautiful sceneries called intestine flora. what a wonderful healthy body you've got there, whoever you were xd.

Even though i am still dissapointing its just end at 8 episode marks exactly, not even adapt the latest chapter from the manga, about the latest body challenge issues. However, since the educational element still on point from A to Z, the cuteness just overloaded all over again, and the soundtracks just sounds too good, especially the ed theme. I guess i can't do anything rather just give this first tv series in the winter to finish a satisfying score. Personal statement make it an obvious.
8/10

White blood cell killing the cancer cell was pretty sick. So was that P punch from the memory cell.

I'm not sure if it was just me but I didn't enjoy this season all too much, maybe it's because of the random cell being the main character for a while (and lack of RBC).

Yep. Pretty cool finale indeed. That final `One Punch Man' attack by Memory T Cell, then finishing that neck blow by White Blood Cell. That was freakin dope

8/10 for the final rate. Really enjoyed this whole season, even it was short. I'll be missing this anime. Hoping for Season 3! :)

That was cool finale, I really enjoyed the episodes from when regular cell first showed up until here, though I kind of wished Red Blood Cell had more role.

The Perforin Cannon Punch was pretty fucking great, and Regulatory T Cell was hilarious when she's not trying to kill you lmao. Poor Cancer Cell, but that is the way things are meant to be, at least White Blood Cell delivered the final blow.

I really hope we get a season 3 or a movie or an OVA or something, since I heard there was a Covid chapter, that'd be nice to see. Overall this season was a 7.5/10

That nasty move the white cellie guy did to the cancer cell was sick.

As for the narrator. Her voice is hot. I like it. Thanks for this season.

What a satisfying way for the cancer cell to be defeated. Memory T Cell's Jojo-style punch did wonders in turning the tide and also finally got the dozy Regulatory T Cell to wake up and joined forces. Along wit NK Cell, the trio did a great job in the fight.

WBC was freed from his capsule prison after a change in the body due to the other battle involving the lactic acid bacteria, which helped him deliver the final blow like the true assassin he is.

Overall, while I'm unsure what score I'll give season 2, I still thoroughly enjoyed it. 8 episodes felt too short, but we still had some funny episodes alongside this 4 episode arc edited from its original movie format. I still hope for another OVA or two in the future, though. =)

Of course I always knew that Cancer is awful but this ep made me really understand just how tough it is to beat, which just makes me feel so amazed that the human race found a way to tackle it. Our bodies really are incredible and I hope we get another season so I can learn more about biology!

The lactic acid bacteria were really giving the platelets a run for their money in terms of cuteness, but I think the platelets still remain the cutest!

Noooo, it already ended, felt like it was too short :( Well, the climax of this season was awesome so i have no complaints there ^^ I still want more of this though!

Not gonna lie, even though the 1st season was better in my opinion, this one was pretty good still! We got to see more about how our organism works when it faces diverse threats that may arise at any moment. It was similar to what we've seen before in that aspect, though, the themes were a bit more interesting on the previous season, and since Code Black is also coming out, i think that one outshines this 2nd season in all honesty, so yeah xd

8/10, well deserved! And i'm quite satisfied with everything still, despite lowering my score from a 9 for the 1st season, to an 8 in this one.

Killer T Saibou using Saitama moves, Gan Saibou wings reminded me of Devilman Crybaby. And of course, Hakkekkyuu U-1146 killing Gan Saibou was sexy as fuck.

The 2-part finale: Cancer Cell (Part 2).
P.S. You don't have to watch the movie! Sorry for the misinformation (since the movie covers Episodes 4 to 8).


I'd swear I hear one of the Harmful Bacteria's VA being Kirito's VA, it sounds damn similar.
A good finish for Season 2. Onwards with the Code Black spin-off!


Because it is Matsuoka. The credits name him as that bacteria.

Good Finale i would say... Good Bacteria really helpful...

Memory T using the Special Technique Perforin Cannon Punch was really funny... lol (was hoping for Ora Ora Ora though, since the seiyuu was also voicing Jotarou)

At last Hakkekkyuu san delivered the Final Blow to Cancer Cell ..
That was Great Quality Scene...

Good Season i would say, but isn't better than the first Season...

Looking forward to whenever the Anime is back with Covid-19... (I hope they would make this story)

Regulatory T moving outta the way because the cancer cell's t-shirt ripped lmao

Though it's not a Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs, it's still great along with all the action/fight scenes.

So it ends with work as usual. Hope to see more.
