It’s very good at first at first, but midway it starts to get very formulaic and frankly a little boring. Basically if you’ve seen one you’ve seen them all. It goes, bacteria invades body, cells work to fight the bacteria, they win by the end of the episode. There is almost no change in that format. The one time they do change it, which was the episode where the Killer T Cells are destroying the body, was pretty good episode.
The fanservice here feels unnecessary. We see boobs flying everywhere throughout battles. It would be the same show with or without fanservice. I guess because it’s a darker more adult version they could add it, but again it would have made no difference with or without it.
Also the ending sucks.
SPOILERS: The body almost dies, but manages to come back and decides to make changes for the better. So everythings good, until our MC red blood cell and his friend get sucked into another sick body, forced to repeat the cycle.
I guess it’s supposed to hint at a season two, which never came out or even became announced. It got overshadowed by it’s light hearted version, Cells At Work.
It’s honestly tough to recommend this to anyone. I guess if you like gritty, darker anime give it a shot. Maybe you won’t mind or even enjoy the formula it follows.
