I demand that all of you drop whatever you're doing right now and admire this precious bouncing platelet.

is the manga that's being adapted atm any good?

I mean I like the material well enough, I can't speak for the actual manga's execution.

I'm enjoying Black as a grimdark glurge piece, but I don't know that'd I'd say too much for its actual storytelling, lol

I thought making the cancerous cells sympathetic made a reasonable amount of sense. Like, the cells that make up, say, a bone tumor or whatever are perfectly good bone cells, right? The only thing they're doing differently from a healthy cell is dividing out of control, right?

Red blood cell's screaming face becomes more powerful...


Her tongue has evolved from a small screaming face into a miniature RBC

That's weird

I kinda see what this show's concept of the Eyes are like.

I wonder if there's a caste of cells that live in the brain and manage actually interacting with data from the outside world and treat it like they're up on Mount Sinai communing with God or something.

Honestly I'm having trouble imagining what a body that's meaningfully shittier than the one our characters already inhabit actually looks like, especially from a Blood Cell's perspective. Missing organs/limbs, maybe, but that just seems like our cells would see it as 'well it sucks like the last one but also it's smaller' mostly. ...Maybe a serious Cancer infestation?

Knowing the anime industry, it probably is.

Come to think of it, did they ever mention or define "black" companies in the anime?

No, although my understanding is that the description is so ubiquitous in Japan that native audiences wouldn't really need it explained.
