I did a poll which Cells at Work! You wanted me to look at next, and so here is CODE BLACK! This week I'll be doing the first episode of Cells at Work season 2, can't wait. Also not wanting to start this new season with a rant but the copyright with these videos is an issue. There is a chance I may have to modify this so I'd recommend watching this early... last week I had one of my Cells at Work videos from over a year ago get claimed. It is frustrating as I think these are fair use AND only make the series more popular, but they keep getting claimed and if I challenge the claim you get a strike and lose the video (3 strikes and you lose your whole channel). So I just have to let them take the money. I also find this strange as Cells at Work publishers allow you to use this content in educational settings. Anyhow if you want to support the channel you can with the merch line to make things more sustainable; I'm not someone who wants to do sponsored content for products or services (you don't need them, so why would I promote them?!). So have a browse, and if you fancy it then treat yourself: teespring.com/stores/dr-hopes-sick-notes Stay safe everyone and see you soon. X

Thank you for what you're doing Dr. Hope. We appreciate it. I'm sorry I haven't found a way to help by merch, but I'll like, comment, and promote your videos as much as I can. I never skip an ad either. Have you considered KZbin memberships?

some random may be spam claiming them out of spite rather than the actual publishers, youtube's copyright claim system allows for that.

I would think that cells have this letter and number designation simply to show when they were “born” So, from A1-Z9999, then AA1-ZZ9999 etc, etc. Don’t even know if that’s why the author did that

[@newpgaston6891]

The copyright stuff is so sad... Some anime reactors kinda deserve them (as they're pretty much showing the entire episode) but who in their right mind could say that these videos aren't informative and fair use and all that? Really hope youtube get its shit together at some point when it comes to that. Some people have been copyright claimed for singing along with a show's opening song (without actually having it on the video). Hope they give you some slack, these videos are clearly fair use, and it'd be a shame to lose them!

[@DormBrand]

The "training video" is also drawn in a style more in line with 90s anime, so it's literally like those old videos you find in school or work training which always seem to have been made in the 90s on video tape and are still used today because they're too lazy/underfunded to replace them. Same for the buildings to be honest. Everything looks a lot "older" in style compared to the regular Cells at Work. 90s style block houses for the cells, a lot less modern and more industrial looking lungs, stomach and veins and so on. I guess our "body" this time is quite a bit older than the one in the regular series?

[@InkanSpider]

Based on the manga, this body is most likely middle-aged. And also a man

[@albertoandrade9807]

Also the body cells, in CaW they are all young adults (the identical ones with a white shirt and nothing else), here they are more like middle aged women

It's not only a critique to those who have bad habits. It's a critique to the black companies: companies that treat their workers terribly. As we can see, there is a toxic environment in this body. Probably, the owner of this body works in a black company too, and those bad habits are like a way to relieve the stress, even though it's for a limited amount of time. So, it not only criticizes the bad habits, but also what caused these bad habits. Brilliant!

While 11 means "Good", so 1146 is Good White(Actually confirmed by official comic guide book) and 1196 is Good Black.

Also, if you notice in the first anime, whenever a rbc is carrying oxygen, their jacket is more on the lighter side, while when they are carrying carbon dioxide, their jacket is flipped to a darker shade of red. However in this anime, the colour contrast with the jacket is way less noticeable, which might mean that the person might be having problems breathing? Maybe it might due to smoking too.

[@lexsamreeth8724]

This anime also shows one of the major cultural problems that Japan faces. A combination of cultural values such as not causing trouble for others, social obligations to employers, and the drive for financial success, leads to people neglecting their physical and mental health in favor of raising their status in the company. This leads to a problem known as "karoshi" - death by overwork. This is normally the explanation for relatively young employees in a corporate environment dying of cardiac failure and other health problems that would normally be expected from older individuals. It's also more common in companies that we Westerners would dub "toxic workplaces", where employees are exploited and not given proper rights and opportunities to relieve stress, eat properly, or maintain a proper sleep schedule.

So just a potential thing: "Black" in the title could be a reference to triage tag colour codes, since apparently in the METTAG system (a variation of which is used in Japan), black tags are assigned to patients who are dead/have no chance of survival. And since as opposed to the main series which is still going, Black is apparently set to end in Vol 8. Besides that another meaning is apparently Black company in terms where they overwork their employees and underpay them, and when looking at alot of the chapter tittles some of them deal with depression, overwork, lack of sleep etc. That and apparently the cells in the body also mimic/point out this issue.

Wait... it already came out? Man, times flies by Also, remember when it was "medical student reacts" instead of doctor? Good times man

[@lureyourpery5569]

This white cells seem to be alot strong (carryin sword) then the other white cell which were carrying knife telling use this cell fight alot more nice detail you should note

[@ReallyKeepingFictional]

Well, considering that they are working within a body that is figuratively imploding in on itself, of course they're going to get stronger, because they need to fight stronger bacteria and/or viruses.

[@Technotoadnotafrog]

@@ReallyKeepingFictional I figured it was because, over the years, they've developed a resistance to more types of disease, either through vaccinations or the hard way.

[@yesyes-cu5ss]

It might be because the first body we see is a child body, while this is an adult body

[@kagakusanagi2]

15:22 I'm extremely happy that they mentioned the organelles. Especially Mitochondria since I have Mitochondrial Disease

[@Athrosus]

Love the editing in the LDL part

[@DantoriusD]

After i watch the first 2 Episodes i feel really bad. Now i wanna live healthier to be a better Place for my inner Waifus ^^. Black is really a good series so far. And i love the Twist of both shows.

[@deborahdlz20]

I'm starting my next module on Monday and atherosclerosis is the first subject and I honestly couldn't pronounce this until now. Learning the materials online at home is challenging and dealing with the pressures of placements just now. I'm so glad that I've found your channel, definitely helps lift the mood. Thank you, Stay safe.

[@weilee9410]

Someday a doctor would say: "I wanted to be a doctor because of an anime"

[@Anon26535]

Heck, lots of doctors in Japan got into it because they read Blackjack by Osamu Tezuka.

[@zharrenjirehjames2221]

Finally Cells at Work:Black reaction from you ❤

[@GZxuanChannel-nx9vi]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAH YES, I Am TOTALLY EXCITED By This Reaction-Video!!!

[@0xnathx0]

I knew things were horrible in the body if you smoke or worst but I didn't know it was that bad...I really love your Cell at Work reviews and information (really educational) and I'm and will keep following that like always but this one, Cells at Work Code Black will be even better and I can't wait for more! I know we're in the middle of a pandemic but thank you for these!!!

[@exudeku]

Cells at Work: a Pedia version Cells at Work Black: a Mortician's version

[@SatumitheNeet]

Oh boy time for my annual checkup with my KZbin doctor

[@CompSarge]

Yesssss I'm here early! So excited you're watching this!

[@novemberninth4392]

I love how the Hataraku Saibou Season 2 and the Code Black spin-off air on the same day.

[@imperialchalice]

Doctor, you look incredibly tired! I hope you are getting enough sleep, despite all the chaos from the virus. :( Take care of yourself, please

[@murielleladouceur6414]

Yes, I did notice that too. At least, in the recent videos, he seems much better

[@prudencethewitch140]

You getting so excited over the anime and the science makes my day :)

[@diegopeart]

already a fan of the channel (and Cells at work) and I loved how you use the actual characters from the show (macrophage and the platelets) to explain artherosclerosis. Made me chuckle a lot. Also, it would be interesting to see you react to the Trauma Center games (for Nintendo DS and Wii). They are a lot of fun, despite being full of medical inaccuracies, but still interesting nonetheless because DRAMA!!!! lol

[@DrHopeSickNotes]

I played Trauma Center here! It was great, even had the hospital named after me: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5nRm4GNiZiEapI

[@diegopeart]

@@DrHopeSickNotes Oh, cool! I wonder what Dr. Stiles is up to these days haha

[@anormalfangirl7408]

Watching cells at work normal version made me feel guilty enough, let alone watching the code black. Eventhough i dont smoke and never once drank alcohol, i do often sleep late and strain my eyes

[@aricakbani5915]

Looking forward to seeing more of your Cells at Work: Code Black reactions. Definitely been learning more from your explanation of negative health choices that lead to an unhealthy body.

[@Jrock-Rue]

I actually felt bad for my own body. I'm not a smoker & I rarely drink alcohol, but I have a lot of stress & I am quite lazy due to a lack of motivation. A lot of people should watch this series because it could be a wakeup call for people with unhealthy habits.

[@ParanormalTMmm]

Red blood cell : is this body going to be okay? Dr. Hope : well no... starts giving a whole lesson

[@randomthorn9286]

Loved this video, especially seeing all the work you put into making those explanatory animations. I'm certainly looking forward to what happens as this series continues.

[@_n0iro.project_590]

I love the mix between serious and fun content! I still remember bits and pieces of the show. Another show that might be worth checking out is the first episode of Urasawas Monster which is starring a neurosurgeon.

[@stephaniemacfarlane7297]

There isn't much medical content but it's definitely an EXCELLENT show!

[@crozraven]

Monster should be reviewed & analyzed by psychologist hehe

[@karlalbertdelrosario3848]

I really like how he breakdown the anime and explain it scientifically. Thanks for the knowledge :)

[@artemisflow6658]

Awesome! Thanks for reacting to this. I love Cells at Work Black for being painfully truthful and honest, and it seems like the TV adaptation is turning the despair onto 11.

[@moohooloo]

I love these videos! You never fail to teach me something new! As someone who has no interest in going into the medical field you still manage to break everything down in a simplistic, easy to understand way and provide more context for the show to help us gain a better comprehension of our body. I always have a great time. Thank you!

[@Kodamaneechan]

I love your reactions doc. I learn so much while learning at the same time. Looking forward for the next episodes😍

[@shadowmaster420]

You know something is wrong when the Platelets aren't smiling

[@AK-ir4cv]

I was waiting for thiss!!! Thank you Dr.Hope for making time for this in these times.

[@meerah8970]

So happy that you are reacting to this!

[@ballboys607]

Imagine the kind of havoc COVID would wreak on this body, yeesh.

思ってたより早かった！ありがとう先生！！

[@user-sl5mz5sb9n]

i've waited for this review and it's always worth it! thank you for the knowledge, doc! looking forward for the next reviews

[@matthewbeland8443]

Man I love this series, as well as your in depth explanations of the topics. It’s really helping me get through medical school!

[@KTIsANoob]

God damn it, his blue eyes are popping in this episode. Ahahahaha. Great and informative reaction :D

[@quiquaequod322]

Did you ever do episode 14: "The Common Cold"? It's a strange one.

[@neurofiedyamato8763]

He did every episode

[@mnArqal93]

No he hasn't done that one yet, maybe that will get covered before he goes into Season 2.

[@nanwijanarko1969]

I've never watched the series myself, but I watch all of your reactions, Doc! I don't doubt its quality, just saving it for later. It'll be great to watch after your reaction, so I can appreciate it more.

[@maryanasobrinho436]

Perfect. This is really great, your thoughts made everything more interesting. Thank you for it ❤️

[@sigheyeroll]

Lmfao why does anime put me off smoking more than any gov psa has?

[@leehongjin6884]

Usually the government stuff is pretty cringe. This has a much more serious tone with all the suffering and death.

[@andrejg4136]

Your brain is already tuned to ignore PSAs from the government and the 'standard bearers' of advocacy groups. But having an anime go "Seriously, smoking tears your body apart. Please stop... please," would matter more to you individually.

[@emblemblade9245]

One tells you what to do, the other guides you to the conclusion of what you think you should do. Most people understandably prefer the latter method of encouragement.

[@Volcano22207]

Keep in mind this is a fraction of the long term damage it actually causes
