Reminiscent of that French animated series from the 80s about the human body. Cells at Work is exactly how you'd imagine the Japanese would turn that series into a live-action film. It's goofy, colorful, weird, and most importantly, it's very entertaining. But a little too uneven and/or childish to be a true favorite.
It's the tokusatsu elements that didn't quite do it for me, but other than that, I had a lot of fun seeing all the usual problems with the human body translated to a fantasy live-action setting. Things get a bit grimmer near the finale, which was also a plus. Overall though, this is light and creative entertainment.
