Anime Advent Calender: Day 2 (Hataraku Saibou)

School sucks is the thing we can agree on okay? I mean you are forced to be in one room with other people who are just as uninterested as you are. You gonna do work for something you don't care about sometime with group which make your social anxiety worse. The bathroom is not gender neutral make transgender students life in school more difficult. And just general toxicity all around as you were grew older and have puberty. But even when school sucks I can say that I love biology class especially when I have great two teachers (shout out to Mr. Mufid and Mr. Gi y'all are awesome). But yeah if there's an anime about it then we would be happy

Enters Hataraku Saibou with all of the anime sets inside someone's body and I love how this anime really makes biology awesome. All of the characters in this anime represent all of the cells in your body and for the most part they got all of the characteristic correct. There's red blood cell, white blood cell, adorable platelets, strong T cells, and many more that I can mention here. From all of the cells I've mentioned you can guess that this anime centers around blood circulation and immune systems which is probably one of the most difficult subjects in biology or anatomy. And they just made that fun and enjoyable to watch.

The quality of this anime really comes down to the animation which was produced by David Production of Jojo's Bizzare Adventures fame. You can tell that just by the style of the animation which is while more cleaner than most of their stuff, it still feels jagged and a bit rough around the edges. There's also elements jacked from Jojo from the fight scenes and the characters design for certain cells.

But still you all here not because the cute platelets of the "ara-ara" or macrophages, y'all here for some great education about your body. While there's a lot of animation that has been tackle this topic, I can think of Osmosis Jones and that one Magic School Bus episode. None have made this topic more infectious and gripping than this anime. This anime really portrayed how evil bacteries and viruses are to the body especially the one with cancer cells. And it is very gory and I love it because of that.

Overall this anime succeeded most animation tried to do is that making engaging media but also really educational and very much the perfect way to pass your biology test. If you haven't seen it I highly recommend this anime especially if you are still in high-school

Top 10 Worst Hit Songs of 2025

Music is a medium that reflects culture the most instant. While both movies and TV shows are usually have a time frames for them to be created and it doesn't immediately impacted the culture as much. Music especially pop music are easier and faster to make. With the invention of the internet and artists have shorter time in between releasing the music they have made during that year and marketing it. I mean you can see that happening in real time with the Kendrick Lamar vs Drake rap beef where the culture was shaped by these two rappers going at it and ultimately Kendrick won that battle. If there's a tangible time capsule that you can consume everyday then I believe music is the gateway to what's going on within a period of time. I give up describing 2025 pop music. Whenever music historian will talked about 2025 pop music they might say how stale the chart is. But that characterization will missed the whole picture of 2025 as a whole. Strictly speaking, the listening habi...

Top 10 Best Hit Songs of 2001

My fascination towards 2000s music is basically an understatement of the decade. I'd say that 2000s is one of the best decade for music even when some of the albums and songs are asinine garbage. The thing that interest me with this decade overall is how varied the music really is. One of my criticism of the 80s is that it can be a bit samey sounding by the end of the decade, but also the productions of the songs can be slapdashed and very busy. Meanwhile in the 2000s you can hear the creativity and innovation as technology in music production improved overtime. From the success of MP3 to the creation of online music stores and even music streaming and the advent of MySpace and FL Studios, you have it all really to make a perfect chaos. 2001 on the other hand...yeah it's not that memorable. When people think about 2001 they always point to the tragedy that was 9/11 while ignoring what happened to the rest of the year. While I'm not going to describe everything that happened...

Top 10 Worst Hit Songs of 2001

Talking about something in hindsight can be very difficult. One of the reasons is that you are talking about stuff that are set in stone and you have to add the context about why that stuff existed in the first place. If you also trying to criticize that old stuff, you run into another beast altogether. Now you have to try and talk shit about stuff that has been calcified to the culture as a whole not just objective facts. That's why a lot of people love the idea of the "worst music ever" lists because it's a permission structure for people to mock older songs. When you stray from that canon and create your own path, that's when it gets interesting. And nothing will be straying from the canon than making your own worst list. 2001 was definitely a transitional year for pop music. The leftover from the Y2K era are starting to get grating, Nu-Metal was on the brink of implosion, rock are turning inwards as post grunge and pop punk are fighting for dominant...
