Honestly I'm not expecting anything at all out of this. The "lore" for the Ingress game was about as generic as one could get and I'm pretty sure Ingress has been on life support since Pokemon Go was released.

Cells At Work was fun, and I am interested to see how they will keep it going.

They'll follow the manga more I'd assume, so more diseases as more parts of the body are explored and we get to know more of the body's cells, particularly the immune system. There's no major overarching plots or anything like that. Just problems of smaller or larger severity.

Ingress was insanely popular in japan so it makes sense that would get funding. Not sure how the business model works though.

Also cells may be cute, but wait till you see what happens with cytotoxic T cells and that poo poo ain’t gonna be screen friendly.

Killer T Cells are what you're talking about and they already appeared in the first ep.

Edit: Most of the various cells that make up the immune system will show up based on the OP. Particularly all of the varieties of T Cells

I kept thinking of the nazi werewolf from Helsing because of the hat.

It reminded me of Hellsing in a few ways, actually. Mostly a few of the artistic choices for the comedic bits, the hapless but spunky female protagonist, and white blood cell's fashion and the way he's drawn.

It's weird because in terms of actual story and tone, it's about the furthest thing.

This is a story about you. A tale about the inside of your body... According to a new study, the human body consists of approximately 37 trillion cells. These cells are hard at work every day within a world that is your body. From the oxygen-carrying red blood cells to the bacteria-fighting white blood cells, get to know the unsung heroes and the drama that unfolds inside of you! It's the oddly relatable and interesting story that is the life of cells!

Planet with's first episode shows a ton of promise and based on mizukami's penchant on upending expectations on the reader, I fully predict this will have a startling turn a third or halfway through that will significantly change the tone of the series

As it is the entire concept of the "aliens" weaponizing empathy and grief is interesting as gently caress and the stupid-rear end designs for the "aliens" shown so far in the manga/anime give me some real evangelion or rahxephon vibes. Nonsensical creatures whose designs aren't the point of the conflict. The idea that instead of fighting with conventional weapons the "aliens" make their opponents realize what they will lose if they die, or realize the importance of continuing to live is some real good poo poo my dudes

The mecha designs are top notch, somewhere between ancient south American and Japanese pottery designs similar to huitzil from darkstalkers, and the creepy-rear end cat dude transforming into an overman king gainer-esque super robot by EATING THE PROTAGONIST absolutely rules

Planet With is going to be a standout. Mizukami's writing, his talent for short form stories, with some really talented directing. There's just something about how all the scenes are composed and timed that makes it work really well.

CTLs kill the host cells, that's not very cute when anthropomorphized.

My current work with CTLs involves genetically editing them, feeding them the irradiated corpses of other cells, and then testing their ability to kill other cells. It's like I'm making my very own kodoku.

A wait and see.

Hanako, an athletically proficient, yet thick-headed student with a weird fashion sense, plays a game with the American transfer student Olivia. However, their vigor irritated their classmate Kasuki who dislikes playing games since she has always been teased by her sister for being bad at them. With a turn of events, it was found out that Hanako is terrible at English. Thus, she asked her foreign classmate Olivia to help her, but Olivia, who is only born and raised in Japan with foreign parents, can't actually speak English at all! Watch over these three girls' surreal school-life comedy.
