    Easy to Watch

    I'm not an anime guy, but I thought I would check this out. I thought of it as a better version of Osmosis Jones. The concept is well thought out in this series, and the execution of the animation and story is fairly well done. My only issues is that it attempts to add in some anime melodrama at times, which just doesn't fit the overall aesthetic. The show can also be geared toward a far younger audience than it intends at times.

    Absolutely love how positive this anime is

    Very different from most anime. This was not only entertaining but pretty educative.

    Great anime to watch especially if you are into scientific, biology or health etc.

    The intro and the outro are very amazing. And the setting of this show is great. The anime way to show the human body and all the red, white and other cells are going about their lives the keeping the human body alive as the viruses tries to take over the human body.

    The platlets are funny and I like how they worked hard on constructing the human body.

    Absolutely brilliant!

    I'm an anime loving MD from Rio. Cells at work has all the ingredients of a great animation and it has a bonus of conveying tons of real information on the human body and lots of common pathogens. If you like anime and has interest in biology this is for you!

    20/10 stars

    What an ingenious way to teach people about the human body. It's beyond clever and very entertaining. I hope they make more episodes.
