Nytlyt Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 I added it to my list on Netflix and it looks... a little too "cute"? I guess? Is it just the little blood cell girl going to wrong areas of the body or are there like white blood cell ninjas that fight virus bad guys? Kinda like anime Osmosis Jones? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gina Szanboti Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 The second one. It's cute (platelets!!!), but fun. Watch it. You might learn something. The cancer episode was pretty good, as was the dehydration one. It get surprisingly gruesome at times. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The1gairon Posted May 3, 2020 Share Posted May 3, 2020 Basically Osmosis Jones: The Anime. It's good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QueenoftheDorks Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 It was really good and even educational to a point. I would recommend it. White Blood Cell was one of my favorite characters last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HardcoreHunter Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Heard season 2 is going to take place in someone who is terminally ill. So the season is just going to be bleak and depressing look at the cells trying their hardest but not being good enough. Seems something like the setting of Majora's Mask or scenes from Titanic while it was sinking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nytlyt Posted May 4, 2020 Author Share Posted May 4, 2020 Are there any horny hormone characters? I'm assuming they're inside the body of a teenage boy/girl, as this would allow for a wealth of comedic potential. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gina Szanboti Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Not in the first season. Dunno about later. We don't know whose body they're in. If you watch this, one neat detail to notice is the change in the colors of the Red Blood Cells' uniforms depending on if they're delivering O2 or returning CO2. 5 hours ago, HardcoreHunter said: Heard season 2 is going to take place in someone who is terminally ill. That's Cells at Work! Code Black. That is not the second season, which is Cells at Work!! (2 !). Weirdly, both are scheduled for January, but we'll see. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Season 2 will continue to cover adventures in the same body as in Season 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would actually be a really cool thing. Even seeing a blood transfusion would be neat just to see how they'd handle it. I wonder if we'll get a COVID-19 episode. 🤔 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if we'll get a COVID-19 episode. 🤔 Just made me think of how angel beats had that message in it about being a donor. Feels like the kinda message that CAW would have. At least to make it somewhat less depressing and not have every character you spend a season watching die. Could also tie season 2 and Code Black together if season 2 is the host for a transfusion or transplant. It does make me wonder though do cells just go right to work the moment they are put into a new body. I know at times they can be treated as a foreign harmful body and are targeted. Could possibly be shown through one of the platelets being bullied. Though mainly just wondering if there is a time frame that it takes for a new cell to figure things out. Does it like absorb hormones etc from the new host that give it information on the body, is there a short period where it isn't really doing it's job and just acclimating to the new host kinda deal? I do know a good bit about biology but I don't really know a lot about transplanted cells aside from them needing to be the same blood type or O.

HardcoreHunter Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Speaking of blood type mine is O- universal donor. Which means I get called all the time at all hours of the day to donate blood. I even got a call once while I was donating blood. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The1gairon Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Speaking of also, the creator of the Cells At Work manga drew up a special PSA sketch with his characters about COVID. Clever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Ah it's on Netflix so this is the show I was thinking it is. I added it to my watch list but who knows if I'll ever get around to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Episode 13. 12/13 is a 2-parter about hemorrhagic shock. The transfused RBCs are a bit confused but happy to be working again. Their uniforms are very slightly different...and they speak with an accent. If you die from cancer, I don't think they'll take your organs because of the risk of undetected metastatic cancer cells (i.e., cells that snuck away from the original tumor and went to another part of the body). Corneas, tendons, heart valves and the like are exempt though, as they're not vascular - which is also why they're are rarely rejected when transplanted. Don't quote me on this, but I think you need to take immuno-suppressant drugs forever. Also sometimes transplants attack the new host's tissues in a kind of reverse rejection. The problem is there are proteins on the surface of cells that basically tell the macrophages "Don't eat me." So when that protein on the incoming tissues' cells doesn't match the recipient's, they become fair game for the immune system to attack. The only way I can see that changing is over years as the older cells of the transplant die off and get replaced by new ones, which I assume would have the right coding. But I don't know if that's what actually happens or not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know about 2 hours after I posted this and I was getting ready for bed it hit me that they did it. I have the memory of a goldfish sometimes. 😆 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
