Cells at Work! CODE BLACK
Direct spin-off in the same franchise. Same anthropomorphized-cells educational premise but set inside an unhealthy body, sharing the medicine/biology/educational keywords.

Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!
Similarly clever, edutainment-flavored anime that turns a niche subject (animation production) into accessible, enthusiastic learning, mirroring Cells at Work's educate-while-entertaining tone.

Land of the Lustrous
Anthropomorphizes non-human entities (gems) into characters with assigned roles and battles, echoing Cells at Work's personification-of-biology conceit, with a thoughtful, accessible style.

Heaven's Design Team
Edutainment anime where designers create real-world animals, blending science lessons with comedy in episodic structure exactly like Cells at Work.

Dr. STONE
Shounen edutainment built around real science: chemistry, biology, physics presented through entertaining narration, very close to Cells at Work's teach-through-action formula.

One-Punch Man
Shared parody-action-comedy DNA, similar episodic monster-fight rhythm and seinen humor that fans of Cells at Work's white blood cell action set pieces enjoy.

Ushio and Tora
Shounen action-comedy with episodic monster-of-the-week structure and Kana Hanazawa in the cast, matching Cells at Work's lighter battle tone and vibe.

Sekirei
Shares the bubbly Kana Hanazawa lead voice and an Animation/Comedy/Action mix; ecchi tone is a divergence but the breezy episodic energy overlaps.

Bungo Stray Dogs Wan!
Light comedic spin-off format with chibi/personified characters and short episodic gags, matching Cells at Work's playful, character-forward humor.

Ajin
Body-horror-adjacent biology premise (immortals, regenerating tissue) appeals to viewers fascinated by Cells at Work's pathology and immune-system action.

High School of the Dead
Virus/epidemic premise with action against pathogens loosely echoes Cells at Work's invader-vs-defender dynamic, though far darker and ecchi.

Killing Bites
Anthropomorphism (animal-human hybrids) and combat-driven episodic structure offer a tangential conceptual overlap with personified-cells-fighting.

LAST HOPE
Shares both lead voice actors (Tomoaki Maeno and Kana Hanazawa) and a science-fiction biology disaster premise, giving a thin thematic and cast bridge.

Tengoku Daimakyo
Seinen sci-fi with biological/medical mystery elements (organ transplants, mutated monsters) hits the body-as-battleground note, though dramatically darker.

Gachiakuta
Shounen action with strong world-building of a hidden underbelly (the Pit) parallels Cells at Work's hidden-world-inside-the-body premise.
