Plot

A novice red blood cell and a relentless white blood cell work together to protect their human from invading germs, pathogens and other threats.

Sinekatalog’s take

Red and white blood cells fight germs in a body-as-city comedy. The adaptation is bright, informative and silly in a good way. A delight for fans of the anime and for biology-minded families.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
