Cancer Cell was once again defeated because cells of this body worked together. Also, thanks to lactic acid bacteria and other good bacteria for helping them in maintaining the balance in this body. Hoping there's a 3rd Season!

Overall nice ending to the series.
I more or less enjoyed it as much as the first season.

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)

7/10

There are only a couple chapters left, so maybe we'll get an OVA. They can however make a new season with the various spin-offs

I didn't realize this only got approved for 8 episodes. alot of shows this season have weird episode amounts alot have 11 instead of the standard 12. though considering a lot of the shows are being done via remote work due to Covid-19 I guess that was to be expected.

The manga was finished in January and there was only a couple of chapters left, not enough for a 11 episode cour.

Memory T doing Tenha no Kamae from Fist of the North Star, yes!

ULTIMATE SECRET TECHNIQUE PERFORIN CANNON PUNCH!

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.

Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022

Not as strong as the first season, even if we ignore it has less episodes, but still a fun time.

That Cannon Punch, forget JoJo, was that a Fist of the North Star reference!
Aye, thought it looked like a Hokuto reference.

oh god! it really ended!
it left my heart a big gap to fill in and hopefully code black will fill that gap!
Hakkekkyuu U-1146 delivered the iconic final blow to Cancer Cell
LOL @ Killer T Saibou serious punch!
Regulatory T Cell is so pretty! (VA Hayami Saori)
Good Bacteria played a serious role on this episode!
5/5.

Was a great final episode, one I really needed after the recent episode of Cells at work black! Definitely wished that RBC and WBC shared more screen time together (heck just RBC would be good herself!). Did anyone get konosuba Aqua God blow vibes from the Peforin Cannon Punch or was it just me haha? I hope there is a season 3 or manga here I come!!

I agree with a comment on the first page that it lost the charm and novelty by now. You also lose the Red Blood Cell and White Blood Cell character dynamics from the first season by pushing RBC to the side here. A retread of Cancer Cell didn't do the 2nd season any favors, either. At least the little bacterium guys were fun and cute. Overall, a disappointing follow-up to the 1st season, and not just because of the short season.

That was interesting.

I enjoyed the art and loved NK. She´s badass and reminded me somehow of Mikasa from Shingeki. Though NK is more talkative hehe

7/10. It was good.
8/10 would not be unfair, though.

The end.

This season wasn't as good as the first one. That adorable Lactic Acid Bacterium was the only truly interesting thing here.

It's really weird that they decided to do only 8 episodes.

There's literally only 4 chapters left to adapt... They could have had a 12 episode cour.

Or still keep it 8 episodes (covering the remaining 4 in these episodes) + the already aired movie. Instead of splitting the movie into episodes here. :/

For anyone who's curious:

Season 1 adapted chapters 1-10, 12, 15, 17 and 18
The OVA adapted chapter 11
And Season 2 adapted chapters 13, 14, 16, 19-26. (19-25 is the movie bit, Volume 5)

Meaning only 27-30 are left. Maybe we'll get an OVA? Or another movie? Don't wanna keep my hopes up, but it seems weird to simply NOT finish the entirety of the show as only a few chapters are missing...

Go to Code Black, LOL (even though that did not happened)

For the manga thread, uhm. I kinda do not know how will I rate this since it became lackluster compared to the first season... so 5/10 would be fair... I guess.

First season had more content than this second season, quantitatively, yet second season offered memorable moments that I find more appealing like the dendritic cell spreading embarrassing photos to motivate the immune cells and the appearance of the lactic bacteria characters. Perhaps, Hataraku Saibou!! should have been animated in the future when the manga artist created more chapters to provide a content for a full season length (12 episodes) and Hataraku Saibou BLACK be the spotlight anime for the series in Winter 2021.

Still so scared to kill a few important characters, the Cancer Cell return felt so unnecessary and I expected a twist with the normal Cell but nothing happended at the end. At least less screentime for the annoying Red blood Cell.

I rolled my eyes in this season. Terrible quality. At least the hype died hard after the first season. 3/10 for the anime.


It was still good . And blame the mangaka . It was in manga .

Pretty nice sequel, I do wonder why they went for 8 episodes if that was planned or something else caused to cut it short, but in general the episodes we did get had a nice overall finish to the initial story.

Quite liked it for sure!

Man, they really padded the last half of this ep for time. The narrator actually repeated herself once in the next scene and I thought it was an error.

Pretty good season, not great like the first tho.

White Blood Cell killing the cancer cell was awesome.

NK Cell being happy that she nailed it was cute.

It was a good finale even though the information got repeated for some reason.

It was wonderful to see the regulatory T cell change her mind after learning that the cancer cell was harmful to the body rather than being a part of it.

It was a fantastic season, but this is the last for this anime. I enjoyed watching each episode; it was a thrilling ride. Red Blood Cells, White Blood Cells, and those adorable platelets will be missed. The bacteria were also adorable.

Technically I need to watch the other Cells at work: Code black.

Just finished this one and it's still a good and creative show as ever and dare I say better than the first season tbh 🤷 It felt like there was a better plot progression than just random episodic narratives. Not that I think the episodic format is bad by the way. On the contrary, I actually liked it. It's just that this was a nice change of pace. Shoutout to the normal cell and lactic acid bacteria. Don't have much to say except I loved and enjoyed it a lot.

Now time to watch the big tiddy white blood cell show.

First half was quite good, second half didn't really convince me. All that "Nyuuu" business and cancer cell as the big baddy (again) was kinda boring. First season was better, still a 6/10 for this one though.

The fight was so intense, really liked Memory T Cell's hidden technique was funny to watch, White Blood Cell was awesome in this and finished off Cancer Cell once Regulator T Cell changed sides. Otherwise this was a great finale to a season I think was just as good as the first season I might be in the minority when it comes to that statement but I enjoyed the show for the most part there were certainly a lot of funny moments, while yes it's short in length then some people would want it to be but I do think it doesn't detract from the overall quality of it. I still had fun with the second season of Cells at Work.

White Blood Cell really went *teleports behind you* "nothin personnel kid"

Kinda sad there wasn't much Red Blood Cell stuff this season but the whole regular cell and lactic acid bacteria arc was amazing. Cell dude looking so validated after being thanked is peak wholesome.

I wish White Cell had said something comforting to Cancer Cell before he was completely perished. Somehow, he was a sad character.

She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did!

Here we are with the end of Cells at work. Though this season wasnt as good as the first it was still alright with some nice moments.

This last episode was pretty decent as well with the final battle coming to a conclusion and im glad to see that cancer cell finally go and that regulatory cell figure out whats going on.

I also love the secret technique for the Killer T-cells. Im also gonna miss the NK cell i really liked her.

one thing i disliked about this season is how the Red Bloodcell girl didnt get much focus.

overall 5/10
