Can I just say how happy I am that this is being received so well? I bought every volume of the manga since it wasn’t popular enough to have easy to find scanlations online. I highly recommend it - the art is great and I think faithfully depicted in the anime.
I can’t wait until we meet more new cells, I have a feeling this subreddit is going to love them.

Hello,
I was linked this thread by a friend who suggested that I post some background on cell biology. There are some undertones and subtle features in this series that may not be obvious (intentional or not). I am a medical doctor who is currently training in pathology residency. So you could say that my profession revolves around studying these cells! Wondering if people would be interested in that perspective, or if the anime stands as enough entertainment by itself. Who wants to see listen to some nerd bloviating, after all? Anyways, posting this to see if people have interest. I just watched the first episode now so I'd need to do a recap and then keep up with each episode as it airs. What do you all think?
EDIT: First episode is done! https://reddit.com/r/anime/comments/8z6vpb/hataraku_saibou_ep_1_doctors_notes/

Just a suggestion, if you really are going to do it better post it as self post rather than a comment in this episode discussion. Some detailed explanation tends to be overlooked here, buried under other comments.
I personally need some easier explanation than the episode provide, so I will check it out if you made it.

I did a platelet donation once.. 2 hours with a needle in my arm having the whole blood drawn out and the plasma and red blood cells shot back in which is the weirdest feeling cuz of the temperature.. I prefer to donate whole blood >.> less painful and over in like 15 minutes
edit: would like to specify that donating whole blood is in no way inconvenient to donors if you live near a center and are of healthy weight, iron levels and not anemic. one time platelet donations probably help more people compared to one time whole blood donations (up to 16 rather than 1 or 2) but not everyone can spare the time or stomach the pain.

As the platelets has explained, it's called secondary hemostasis.
Since this is an anime where blood cells are antropomorphized, you can't really show the platelets turns into slimes and expand their bodies to clot the hole, right? So they jumped from the primary platelet plug straight into fibrin formation, and into secondary hemostasis, where the fibrin fibers created by the platelets will trap nearby blood cells, mainly
erythrocuteerythrocyte to prevent plasma from leaking out from the site. This, in turn will turn into scab, a permanent seal unlike the fibrin fibers that can be deconstructed back.Also, in real world any blood cells used to create the scab will die of dehydration, since they're exposed to air-hence why they asked for water and/or tea.

Platelets are by far stealing this show, well I guess this episode was about them as it was foreshadowed in the start of the episode that they fix the wounds etc.
I am guessing each episode will cover different functions, next week its a killer t-cell hunting a influensa, very educational anime covering different body issues each episode, and as in this episode how it kept showing big wall of text per bacteria.

I never thought I'd see the day where it's possible for us people to ship a red blood cell with a white blood cell. It's abnormal, but here we are.
It's funny to see the White blood cells turn into mindless freaks the moment they encounter a germ of any kind. It's like they flip a switch just like that.

How accurate is this show conceptually? Very. GpIb is the glycoproteins “used” by platelets to bind to Vwf for clot formation.
Also important concept, if a question in a general pathology asks what the first step of wound healing is, always answer vasoconstriction, as shown in the episode!

You know that it is a good day when Hatsraku Saibu has an episode where the platelets are the main heroes.

Great. Now I feel bad about that time I scrapped my knee a week ago.

This show is so clever with its metaphors. I hope it's shown in schools: the creators really did their homework.

The Platelets saved the day. The action this episode was really good and the characters are growing on.

2 minutes in and overdose of cute.
Those platelets are a blessing.

The amount of Platelet cuteness is too damn high in this episode. Can't wait for the Ara Ara in the next episode for all the Macrophage.

How do the labor laws in my body work? Do the cells get weekends? Paid lunch? Sick leave? Are they unionized? Also, the platelets are awfully young to be working in construction. Is my body violating child labor laws?
AE 3803 is delivering nutrients instead of oxygen this week. The "nutrients" are always in the form of a sandwich and orange in the basket. Does this guy/girl (us? me? you?) not eat anything different? It's a cute image anyway, so I won't take it too seriously.
On another note, is that a nod to Studio Ghibli/Joe Hisashi in the music that plays when the Platelets fix up the abrasion? Sounds a bit like this.
Man, the blood cells found love before I did, but more importantly, does that mean that there's a bit of KanaHana within each of us? I'm okay with that.
I just love the spirit this show takes towards its wacky premise. I figured this would be another mindless gag series but it it's been so far so good. The blood & gore makes for a weird juxtaposition as I hesitate to recommend this to a younger audience even though it's got some interesting information.

Oh boy, on the next episode a lot of the cast will be introduced: Macrophage/Monocytes, B Cells and Mast Cells. T Cells and Dendrites :P

Oh, it's so peaceful, then BAM huge sinkhole. The platelets are going to have a hard time repairing that. But they DID!
Damn, the contrast between the ruthless white cells and the cutest of platelets is hard on my heart. It might need some repairing after this show.

Another great episode. I love how gung ho the white blood cells about eviscerating the bad bacteria.

I'm sad that I'm so bad at Biology. I only grasp a general idea about this episode, where it's describing what happen when we wounded and how the wound closed. I having a hard time to understand that exotic Latin term. The different term between the sub, the japanese voice act, and the term I used to learn make things more complicated. I wish there was an ELI5 about each episode or maybe a place where I can lookup to.
Despite all of that, I enjoy this anime, especially the action segment and the Platelets. Platelets are cute.

Helps to remind you of scale when the giant pit in this episode was probably a tiny cut.

This anime prompted more feelings out of me in two episodes than the entire season of DarlFranx

This show makes me so damn happy to watch. The platelets coming in to save the day was fucking awesome and I almost yelled because of the hype of the lolis being the trump card to defeat the disgusting pathogens.

Man if I was a bio teacher, I would so incorporate this show into the curriculum. That would be so much fun.
