Do you like Osmosis Jones? Do you like anime?
Then you need to watch Hataraku Saibou, a.k.a. Cells At Work. One episode in and I am in Heaven. This show is an adorable delight. Spoiler: show

I saw a preview of the first chapter before, but didn't know it was getting an animé adaptation. (Think I saw some buzz about it on tumblr but didn't realize it was real/the same series lol.) I'd like to take a look, but probably won't be able to for a while since I'll be on vacation.

Quick little update: I am through Episode 04 of Hataraku Saibou and I have loved every single episode to pieces. Objectively the show might be like a 7 or at best an 8, but for me personally it is loved like a 10 out of 10. I adore this show. Every. single. episode has been fantastic so far. So much love.

Five episodes in, Hataraku Saibou a.k.a. Cells At Work remains the best anime I've seen in a long time. Also one of the only anime I've seen in a long time , but shoosh.
This anime is such a delight. Absolutely adore it. A 10/10 in my heart.

You guys realize I did split up a separate thread for this, right? (Kinda like cell division, eh? ;P *shot*)
Anyway I watched up to episode 04 over the weekend, will try to catch up with 05 tonight. It's quite a cute show. <3 Had a silly smile plastered on my face most of the time and was always eager to progress to the next ep. ^.^ I am kinda confused as to what age the human host body is supposed to be. The story makes it seem like it's encountering most of these threats for the first time, in which case dang what kind of environment is this poor kid living in. ^^;

I love how the animators know we all adore the platelets and have taken to Where's Waldo'ing them throughout the later episodes where they're not as prominent. Any time they're on screen is a delight. They're just so gosh durn adorable! Favorite character so far is either the Platelet captain or else Eosinophil. Waifu #1 is Macrophage, Waifu #2 is Mast Cell.

I've started this!
You would think I would have high standards given this is my actual career, but eh. It's okay. I thought some things were weird (cells bleeding) and the anime-ized elements don't really do much for me. It had some nice references to hemostasis and hematology which didn't come across as amateurish, so I credit the authors for writing that well. And holy crack the production values are insane! I had to double take to make sure this wasn't an NHK-subsidized project. Studio David does the animation for Hataraku Saibou and Episode 1 felt like it had more frames than all of Phantom Blood. Even the trailer for Part V looked pedestrian compared to this. It's insanely fluid. I'm not super motivated to continue this but I think I shall. There's not a ton on my plate and I need to burn data.

Episode 09: Several months late to the party now. orz I watched Episode 08 a month or so ago. It was okay -- the chambers of the heart and the heart's entry and exit points are great, important material to be explored by this franchise, but I dunno ... I just wasn't feeling the episode overall? It was fine! Just ... maybe the most boring one of the series so far. Yuki asked me how my progress was tonight, and that kinda prompted me to watch Episode 09. And so, here I am, having just finished Episode 09.
Spoiler: show
