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
