Cells at Work 

An anime that takes place inside of the human body, where each character represents a cell. It's mostly about a clumsy red blood cell running after an emo white blood cell who kicks bacteria ass while screaming "Die"

Each episode depicts a different problem inside the human body, and it's funny even though it actually teaches you stuff. tbh this should just replace biology class.
Ever since I watched Cells at Work, I feel sorry every time I injure myself. Imagine how many cute lil blood cells I just killed.
