Takahiro Sakurai (Helper T cell role) Comment

Are not you interested in what is going on in your body, what kind of work your cells are doing? 
In a sense, it is the work which may be the ultimate of personification. 
I would like to work hard while learning happily.

Saori Hayami (role of regulatory T cell) Comment

I am pleased to be involved as a regulatory T cell role in the dazzling cell world. I am looking forward to seeing how the air feeling of the original will become anime and the tempo's good match which will be unfolded at the after-record scene!

Nobuhiko Okamoto (role of dendritic cell) Comment

As a result of investigating thought that dendritic cells were not the case, it was said that it was a cell like a control tower of immune cells. 
It is a very important cellular phrase, but I felt there was a gap as my face was lovely. 
I think I will do my best while dubbing is coming.

M · A · O (role of eosinophil) Comment

It was decided to play the role of eosinophils, M · A · O. 
I saw the original and thought it was a very interesting work, so I can participate in animation in this way and it is full of delightful feelings. While learning about the structure in the body and the events and events that are happening day by day, I will participate in a battle with bacteria and virus!
