Final (?) Thoughts – Cells at Work!

There’s nothing wrong with this show; on the contrary it’s actually very good and well thought-out. No, unfortunately, this one is going on hold because my primary fear from the first episode came true; Cells at Work! is a fully episodic work with little to no continuity between episodes, and such things have a tendency to completely lose my interest.

As much fun as it is, I still have to watch ClassicaLoid 2, so Cells is just going to have to wait until I get around to it sometime in the future. It still gets a recommendation from me, though, for what it’s worth.

Quick First Impressions – Cells at Work!

I waited on this one, because it was already getting positive buzz.

But honestly, it was very good, with the most imaginative representation of the body I’ve ever seen, and hilarious ideas and biology jokes that sold me on the concept. I really don’t have much to say that others haven’t already – the platelets are cute, White Blood Cell is awesome, really, this was a lot to pack into a premiere.

The strange part, really, is that this watches like an American TV pilot – it tells a complete story, without any real extra hooks. If you told me this was a one-episode OVA, it would have left me more or less satisfied. So I’m totally not sure where this is going, but we’ll see if it manages a hook in episode two. I have high hopes.
