| The platelets are back and in full force! So refreshing yet to see the Red Blood Cells, White Blood Cells, etc.We got to see Backward Cap, a character that wears their cap backwards. Heh, clever gimmick for this show. The 'bump' is a reminder that the human body is vulnerable to just about anything. A wonderful start for the second season. |

It's great to have this show back for a 2nd outing, ever teaching us to take care of our bodies more, NOW TWICE AS BIG. Everyone is one and the same as how I remember this episodic manga series, and is still a blast to watch. HanaKana's AE3803, Maeno's U-1146, and the loli Platelets are all memorable, and repairing the body as usual. ANONE ANONE??? A bump in the body, and the Platelets (especially Backwards Cap) are up to the task to keep both Red and White Blood Cells from leaking out. Wasn't exepcting Megakaryocyte, the Master of Platelets to come out this early, but it's a good surprise. HEAVE-HO Platelets! Just don't keep losing your Coagulation Factor capsules kids! Great OST once again: the character cast for the OP, and ClariS's ED. |
 |
| Great first episode, made me laugh a lot...Everytime I bump my head I have to think about the cells in my brain now..poor guys the MEGA master (or mom)...she is quite busy I guess with all the birth hehe...but she surely knows how to motivate everyone |
 |
| Megakaryocyte lol her character is awesome This was as fun as always and when the disaster started I thought at first that it would be an aneurysm xD Glad that Backward Cap worked hard So hyped for more |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Second season of Hataraku Saibou, started very well with a cute, inspiring, and neat episode. I like the determination and never give up-attitude of this new character, glad she got recognized in the end.  Also props to the whole team, amazing teamwork as always unite by the leader's words.  |
 |
| DIE! GERMS!! Will Sekkekkyuu continue being lost?? Platelet focused episode, they are so cute. Ushiro Mae-chan is too swag with her backwards cap lmao. Gold medals for everyone! |
 |
| Starting off the season with moe goodness, oh my Though I feel bad for WBC being stuck like that LMAO |
| YEEEEES it's back, I missed this anime since summer 2018, the first episode for this season was already great, especially for all the platelets moment |
 |
| It's back and the first episode was great. An episode focused on platelates and Backward Cap, it was sweet. Backward cap's so adorable thou lol you trampled on Hakkekkyuu's feelings there. Their master Megakaryocyte might look sparta at first but she's actually a really doting parent. She gave gold medals to all of them, that's sweet. Also Sekkekkyuu was actually delivering her parcels withouy getting lost for once, she has grown. Thou Hakkekkyuu is like he always was, brutal with germs but nice with others. Off to a great start, looking forward to the rest. |

| "What the cell is going on?" lolll Ahhhh I love the white cells and all of the others they are so funny |
 |
| The Platelets are so cute. Hearing "ANONE ANONE" warms my heart. |
 |
| Platelets as cute as ever. Also Master megakaryocyte! "What the cell are you doing?" xD Nice episode about having courage. I watched season one during Summer 2020 so that was helpful and I remember the story! Looking forward to more, now to watch Cells at Work Black. |

| Ahhh backwards-cap is so cute!! And the fact that all of the platelets got so happy about the medals was adorable 🥰🥰 great start to the second season! |
 |
| The platelets are so adorable. Good move to start the season with their episode! |
   |
*Speaking in an annoying slurry nerd voice* Ac-chually it's "Once Upon a Time... Life" the Anime(ation), thank you very much. |

| Kawaii Sugiru ~ God, these platelets are just too adorable. "Anone Anone", it's been too frickin' long! What an episode to start off the season though! Backwards Cap and White Blood Cell-san interactions were gold. No wonder he felt a little tingle in his kokoro a few times, lol. "What the cell are you doing?" got me too, xD. Shisho too cool! How sweet of her to get all the gold medals ready. Lol, Backwards Cap in happiness is glorious too. Poor White Blood-san though. Red Blood Cell meanwhile, has it tough as ever, lol. That's one narrow living space! Enjoyed the striking similarity between Backwards Cap and her, lol. Macrophage doing her own things, on the other hand. Op & ED are great too! And the insert song was fab too! It's a real blessing to have this back. |

| They gave the platelet a medal, this was a great episode. |
 |
| Hmm a germ thats actually worried about his appearance lol. Cute opening theme as always. Love the opening visuals as well. That sure was some cramped space that Red Blood Cell had to deliver too. Red Blood cell's image of WB cell sure was way off the mark though. The platelets are as cute as ever. Still backward caps determination to change himself sure is admirable. So when a bump develops the cells turn into zero g environments huh interesting. So the master of the platelets is also their creator. Medals definitely was the right source of motivation to entice the platelets to work harder. The cohesion between the platelets sure was impressive. Overall an excellent reintro to the cast and their innate sense of positivity mixed well with some interesting knowledge of bumps as well. Cute opening and ending theme as usual. |

| I love this show, i just really love everything about it. Great start to the second season with the Platelets! |
 "In the past few months since we met, I've shared many memories with Nagato. Though I've also shared memories with Haruhi, Asahina-san and Koizumi, I found that I've experienced more events with Nagato in particular. In fact, every situation seems to involve her. I might as well mention this, she's probably the only person to cause the bell within me to shake the most vigorously..." ~ Kyon, TMOSH |
| I missed this anime so much!! The animation felt slightly different this time. I'm sad that the subtitles didn't translate the medical stuff. Macrophage was talking so casually while holding a dead body. That made me laugh so loud that I scared a neighbourhood dog. The friend white blood cell is oddly moe! I always assumed the backwards cap was a boy. |
| hurrah for medical education to be back! Backward Cap (and her bowl cut) adroable and the fact that White Blood Cell is her #1 cheerleader was funny. Megakaryocyte is fun too |
| Backward Cap was real MVP. The clot thickens. :) |
 |
| What a good episode. Megakaryocyte reminds of me of Yomikawa Aiho from Index. Yes, I know they are voiced by the same person. Backwards hat was so cute. Too much Honda Tohru in the voice. |

| Cells At Work is back, and boy oh boy, do I miss the amusing cast. Backward Cap was easily the MVP of the episode, as she was determined to overcome her weaknesses by putting in the extra effort into her routine and, when the bump caused everything to go hayware, she really played her part by making some brave decisions to make sure that the factor parts didn't go missing. This episode had a lot of funny moments, mainly thanks to the appearance of the platelet's boss, who made me laugh when she baited the platelets to do better by promising to reward one of them with a gold medal, which the platelet's reaction to that was great. Same goes for the ongoing commentary of our favourite WBC, who was stuck and couldn't do anything helpful at all. XD Shame that the user a few posts above me hates the visuals, as honestly, the production values of this episode felt pretty much the same as the first season, which is a good enough benchmark for me. The OP/ED songs were also pretty good, too. Now, onto Cells At Work Black and see how it compares to this version... |
| Ah that was refreshing, first seasons feels like it was so long ago. And remember people, platelets are not for lewding. It's funny that Black also airs back to back with this because that sure went dark real fast and the amount of gore is rather amusing. lol |
| So happy to see everyone back and doing their thing. Backward Cap is adorable like all the Platelets and Red Blood Cell. Can't wait to see new enemies and maybe new characters this season. |
| Great start to the season. The platelets continue to be the cutest characters in anime history and the blood clotting was quite fun to watch. This season is looking to be amazing once again. Cant wait to watch more! |
 |
| The very first episode of new season dedicaded to our adorable platelets? I couldn't be more happier! <3 and we learned learned another new cell who looks more like a mom to our platelets. Awesome! The new OP and ED are great but it's not as katchy as the first season. Can't wait for next week >w< |

| Feels good having our favorite body cells back after such a relatively long time. Neutrophil keeps being ruthless killing germs yet still a nice guy and red blood cell has improved considerably since she started. They didn't receive much focus, but it's nice seeing them again. We got a nice and sweet start with the platelet Backward Cap and even got the MILF version of the platelets with Megakaryocyte. Very happy to see Backward Cap could do her job well at the end, even if she ended stomping our poor main neutrophil. He didn't deserve that. Glad to have this show back, especially given how dark the BLACK edition is. At this point I'm considering watching this one after BLACK to not end in a sad note. |
 |
| Starting with a platelets episode: Doing it as right as possible. As long as there's another platelets episode, otherwise it's already peaked... Absolutely adorable. Yuru Camp and Cells at Work in the same season... What a blessed way to start the year. |
| ANONE ANONE! Who knew I was gonna miss these words coming from the platelets. Was nice to see an episode centered around them and the MILF that produces them. Great to see this back again! (I am gonna be saying this a lot more this season) Can't wait to learn more about the body in Anime style. Now to figure out the watching order for next week, OG first or black first.. |
 |
| This was all extra cute! But... watching "Black" version after this makes the latter so more depressing. Please take care of your platelets, I mean the entire body, people! |
| Biology weekly lesson is back! |
| So we're starting early with Hataraku! Nice first episode! Platelets are SO CUTE! |
 |
| An excellent opening, a chapter full of tenderness, kawaii !!! They maintained the quality despite the pandemic, although the character introduction step was a bit slow in my opinion in the beginning, it is nice to see most of the main characters again! |
  Humans may have two eyes, but we can only see one thing Don't use the scores to see an anime ええい！ なんでも やって やる |
| In the end they chose to do the same as in the first season, starting with the platelets, which is undoubtedly the best decision! The only thing that seemed strange to me was that they officially announced that this season would have only eight episodes instead of the usual twelve, especially knowing that there is a chapter dedicated to a certain pandemic in the future, but hey, it's a matter of time why DavidPro took such decision. |
 |
| just finished the S1 (since i stopped at ep 11 and i marathoned ep 12 & 13) and now S2 was glorious! All Platelets were cute and Backward Cap is the MVP this time! ED from ClariS was also great! 5/5. and now i'm gonna watch next Black (spin-off) !!! |
 |
| Lovely show as always, but is it just me having nostalgia goggles or did the animation take a bit of a hit this season? |
 |
| Every "platelets" episode is a boring episode for me. Sorry to say it but I don't like those guys. The platelets from Code Black are more fun. |

| The platelets are so cute man |
 |
| Good first episode, it's good to see our wholesome cells again. A very wise choice to watch this after code black lmao. The whiplash from the 2 shows is insane. We got a new platelet introduced, backwards cap-chan. OP was as catchy as the first one which is great. Looking forward to the next episode. |
