With that said, this review is for the TV series of Cells at Work! And thats exactly what we're getting back to here. Inside every human body there lives 3.7 trillion Cells where each cell works hard to keep you running and they all take their job very seriously. Welcome to the inside of a HEALTHY human body~
I said this was fun and you'd grow to love the cells in the anime (and hopefully your own body) and i meant it. And despite being educational (Which for me, is a drag as I don't like having to learn things i don't care to learn), its fun and does this in ways that don't feel like it's trying to educate you. What i am saying is, each episode is telling a truthful story of what goes on inside our bodies. Both S1 and S2 have stories that cover different things that go on inside our bodies as well as sometimes, outside the body too but it only ever shows this from the perspective of the Red and White Blood Cells and the various other Cells in the body. Its important to note though that even though its being educational, it does take some liberties in terms of what the inside of the body looks like, what the Cells look like and maybe some other stuff but am not qualified to comment on anything else other than what i mentioned here as no there aren't building, traffic ways and such inside our bodies, but that was a nice touch to substitute for veins and other body parts and likewise real life Cells don't look like humans, but ironically, the germs and parasites they showed DO look close enough to their actual real life counterparts. (Close enough, but of course, not an exact match)
I seriously had fun following our fav Red Blood Cell girl and our fav White Blood Cell boy, meeting the other Cells and gosh dang it the Platelets are cute! Each Cell was awesome to meet and see and seeing how each Cell works to keep all of us running, including themselves, is truly a sight to see. The body is a true work of art and master piece... if only, no one in real life died, if only whoever or whatever created this reality and all life forms in real life, that that creator actually cared about us so we didn't have to suffer and die, I speak not just for humans but ALL life forms, Cells included! Sadly that's not the case but what I said doesn't really have much to do with the anime series other than for me, it was something i was feeling as I watched both S1 and S2 of this TV series as well as Code Black of the Cells at Work! series and I needed to mention this in one of my two reviews for the series as while the body is a work of art and a master piece, no one, Cell or otherwise should have to suffer and while the OG TV series itself was VERY lighthearted and filled with comedy and even kids can see it, it still showed some hardships the Cells go through and that's especially true for Code Black which was not kid friendly at all and only further made me realize just how unfair reality is to all life forms but I'm starting to get off track so back to the review.
There isn't much more to say other than, do yourself a favor and go watch Cells at Work! TV and then if you can Code Black. Hope to see you in my review of Code Black! And on that note, I rate S1 of Cells at Work TV an 8.0 out of 10 and S2 a 7.5 out of 10. The reason for the lower rating of S2 is, in my opinion, it lacked the emotional impact S1 had at the end of the season which of course affected the rating a bit.
Shout out to the OP song in S1 as it had two different versions that were both great to listen to, by that I mean the lyrics were close-ish but also different between the Japanese Sub and the English Dub (I watched the anime Dubbed btw but listened to the JP ver of the song) of S1's OP song and both were catchy and thats saying something as I mostly prefer Japanese music these days but the English song of the OP was catchy too
