18 [Similar Anime] Like Cells at Work!

If you are looking for a fun way to learn something, this is it: Dr. Stone will teach you about basically anything science - from geology to how to chemistry -, while Cells at Work will tell you all about the inner workings of the human body! Both have a fun story as well, though Cells at Work is more episodic and comedic, while Dr. Stone has a long-running story and with also some mystery elements.

Both anime shows how human body works with the means of portraying various components as anthropomorphised beings. The shows mostly focus on fights between virus/bacteria and human defense mechanisms. Both are enjoyable way to learn biology facts about human biology.

Both are "edutainment" anime that use humor to educate its audience on real concepts. Hetalia focuses on history while Hataraku Saibou discusses biology. Though Hetalia has an overarching WWII storyline and repeating gags, like Hataraku Saibou, Hetalia can be picked up at any episode due to its episodic formula.

Both anime have an educational theme, where Hataraku Saibou teaches you about human body while Dumbbell Nan Kilo Moteru? is about strength training.

So you wanna watch anime and learn biology at the same time? Welcome. While in Hataraku Saibou we have actual cells living and working inside the human body, in Moyashimon we have a protagonist who can see bacteria. Although the settings aren't the same, both feature biology and microorganisms as important/main characters in the series. And, yes, you will feel attached to them.

Both are set in a world that feels very alien to the viewer, lives by strict rules and is under constant attack of alien entities (lunarians in Houseki no Kuni and bacteria in Hataraku Saibou). Both have a large cast of human-like, but not actually human characters, with different episodes focusing on different ones, and protagonists (Phos in Houseki no Kuni and Red Blood Cell in Hataraku Saibou) who are pretty incompetent and strive to become better at their job.

One Punch Man and Hataraku Saibou are story about certain groups that doing their job to save "the world".

Want to learn about the studies and anatomy of the human body? You're in luck because both animes feature elements such as mental illnesses, physical conditions, disabilities, and how the body works!

These two anime is a education. Kaitou Joker learn about science. Hataraku Saibou is learn about human body. These two anime is about SCIENCE!!!!!!!

in both animes we were able to learn and laugh a lot, despite the super different atmosphere of these animes (soft and relaxing (yuru camp) x tense (saibou))

both of the shows are just action packed, hataraku saibou is more on the lighthearted end but violet evergarden can be on the opposite side of spectrum.

Both shows have biology information presented with cute anime girls.
Mostly family friendly with a lot of easter eggs and creative ways of presenting scientific info

Both anime focus around the everyday life of individuals in an unconventional environment. They have a similar comedic pacing and are both pretty episodic.

Both series use the entertainment format to explain scientific ideas.

At first these anime don't look similar at all. But upon closer examination we can see that IWGP is a didactic anime disguised as a series of loosely linked adventures, just like Hataraku Saibou -although less explicitly.
The similarities end here though: where IWGP talks about present-day Japanese society, HS teaches us about our body. But if you like this type of narration, I suggest you to give a chance to Hataraku Saibou because I found it funnier and overall more enjoyable than IWGP

Same narrator voice actress with educational theme, besides in Galko it can be perverted stuff

Comedic take on body metabolism and biology.

Both series star ambitious but inexperienced people in 'messenger' positions that take them through all areas of an operation - the human body, and anime production.
