Hello hello I'm back atcha with another anime review. To be honest, I finished this anime more than three weeks ago and I remember very little of it, heck I even forgot to review it at all because of midterms, but here I am now, on the other side of midterms, with a sub-par review just for Y-O-U!
As all my anime reviews nowadays start, I watching this anime because of V. I have absolutely no idea how he has time to watch anime what with his major and such, but that's a problem to contemplate at another time. Honestly most of my brainpower when not thinking about the classes I'm currently taking is focused on thinking about my major/prospective minors and perhaps studying abroad? I'm also gunning to graduate in three years, so really we'll just have to see. I love feeling absolutely overwhelmed by work :)
{Spoilers, but it's more of an educational anime meant to teach you about human body biology and specialized cells in your body so there's not a real plot}
So this anime, like my spoiler notification tells you, is pretty plotless. It's not like my usual slice of life anime that have no plot. This is more because it's about teaching you about like macrophages and killer T cells and fun ways to memorize these different cells and their functions rather than the tradition by-the-textbook method. I think in terms of an effective form of education it did a pretty darn good job as an overview of the cells in your body as well as the different viruses and bacteria and afflictions that your body goes through like food poisoning, heat stroke, blood transfusions, and cancer. I could also imagine this as a good reminder to be kind to your body and to appreciate it for all of the hard work it does for you. Imagining all of those little personified cells inside your body fighting against infections and trying to keep your body alive is pretty endearing and is a pretty good motivation to keep treasuring your body.
Overall, it's just super pure. All of the cells have such enigmatic personalities that makes it fun to watch. Like if you've seen any clips of Cells at Work it'd probably be of the platelets which are so pure or of the main character red blood cells. Oooof did you know that she's a sickle cell? That fact is pretty sad, but she's such a pure girl. Besides the characters themselves though, it wasn't a very dynamic watch in that it was the same sort of series format of something like everything is fine until a problem in the body arises and then the cells have to band together to fix the problem and in the end the body is saved by the hard work of the cells. I was talking about this show with my roommates and friends and the ones that finished it said that they did so because it was really pure, and the ones that dropped it said it was too repetitive. So there's two kinds of viewpoints here. If you're not taking any cellular biology/introduction to biology classes and you're not looking for just a show to relax to, this show might not be for you. Otherwise though I think it's a pretty cute and chill watch.
{Haha the wifi in my new dorm is absolute trash so I had to watch a lot of this in like 480p which isn't really conducive for good anime screenshots, so sorry there's no screenshots this time either}
