Cells at Work https://myanimelist.net/anime/37141/Hataraku_Saibou Summer 2018 (13 episodes), Winter 2021 (0/8 episodes, unfinished), plus 1 OVA My Score: 5/10, MAL Score: 7.57/10 Best Character: AE3803 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFe3srrhLdI Premise: The human body has 37 trillion cells, and this primarily follows the lives of Red Blood Cell AE3803 and White Blood Cell U-1146 as they deliver food and oxygen or battle viruses. The Good: The concept of Cells at Work is still one of my favorite things ever. It turns the human body into a labyrinthine complex where trillions of people are all performing their little tasks while under constant assault from bacteria and viruses. Its just such a creative and fun way to think about something thats happening inside every one of us. This is an edutainment anime, and some episodes handle the education aspect better than others. My favorite parts were where it was symbolic (snow falling when the body is dangerously hypothermic, for example) without needing to pause everything for a voice-over to spell it out. The Bad: I remember the first episode of Cells at Work feeling amazing. It was such a fresh idea handled in a fun way. Sadly, it turned out the first episode was the peak, and they couldnt maintain that level of excellence for long. Too often, this started focusing on the education half of edutainment. Stop the action to explain what a parasite is, stop the action again to explain the damage the parasite is doing, stop the action again to introduce the cell that defeats parasites just have the parasite melt something and have that cell stab it, I can put the rest together myself. Overall: Cells at Work is still a fun anime, but it wound up being a lot worse than it shouldve been. Since the concept couldnt even hold me for one season, I still havent watched the second season (or the spinoff about a hard-drinking drug abusers body, though that one at least sounds different). Cells at Work was at its best when it was using the concept of a world where knockoff DBZ villains could burst through the walls at any moment, but it was boring when it focused on painstakingly educating the viewer on everything. --- R.O.B.A.Z.O.I.D <cite>Robazoid posted [p:967951754] in Robazoid R...
