The second season of the anime "Cells at Work!!" has finally been announced for January 2021. The series is hugely popular with fans in Japan and China, with over 100 million total views, and there are surely many people overseas who have been eagerly awaiting the second season. With that being said, you'll probably want to watch it as soon as possible once it starts airing, but how can you get to watch it "for free" as quickly as possible? In this article, we'll introduce you to ways to watch Cells at Work!! for free and quickly.
If you want to watch it for free and in the shortest time, you should watch it on terrestrial TV
I will now introduce various ways to watch it, but the first thing I can say is that watching terrestrial broadcasts in real time is the safest and cheapest! Anyone can watch "Cells at Work!!" for free as long as they have electricity and an environment where they can watch terrestrial broadcasts. However, as with any anime, in some areas the broadcast time is later than in the metropolitan area, and there are also broadcast stations that broadcast it one or two days late, so it is not necessarily possible to watch it in the shortest time. However, the first season of the anime "Cells at Work" was broadcast on BS11, so it is likely that the second season of the anime can be viewed as soon as possible anywhere in Japan if you are in an environment where you can watch BS broadcasts.
Illegal video uploads? That's a crime! !
On illegal upload sites, people in areas where it is possible to watch it as soon as possible upload anime and post videos without permission. Also, even on famous sites like YouTube, anime videos uploaded by non-official parties are considered illegal uploads.
Risks for viewers who watch illegally uploaded content
Some people who illegally upload content do so out of self-satisfaction because there are people who are happy to see them, but many others are hoping to make money from illegal uploads. These sites display confusing advertisements, and in the worst cases, illegal upload sites may contain viruses. There are so many types that it's hard to know what kind of viruses are lurking, but there seem to be many dangerous viruses that damage PCs and steal personal information. People who use credit cards to shop on their PCs should be especially careful...!!
Some anime can be watched for free on Nico Nico Douga
A long time ago, Nico Nico Douga was also involved in a cat-and-mouse game of illegal uploads and deletions, but recently, a lot of the latest anime are uploaded every week as official distribution. Although uploads may be slower than the fastest distribution sites, the good thing about Nico Nico Douga is that, unlike paid sites, even free members can easily watch. I also use Nico Nico Douga as a free member, and I have never felt that the image quality was poor. I think it is a very excellent site, except for cases where you want to see the next part as soon as possible.
If you want to watch anime for free, safely and quickly, VOD is recommended
In recent years, the term "TV withdrawal" has been coined, and fewer people are watching anime on TV with commercial breaks. Many of these people use VOD, a site where you can watch movies and anime for a monthly fee. More and more sites are operating every year, and the number of sites that distribute anime has increased considerably. Most of the well-known VOD sites also distribute anime.
It's a paid site, but there's also a way to use it for free
Many people who don't use VOD think, "I know VOD is famous and convenient, but I don't like the monthly usage fee...", but most VODs offer free services such as the first month free or 30 days free. Registration is required, but if you cancel within a month if you think "it's not for me", there is no usage fee.
My personal recommendation is d Anime Store!
If you love anime but are not interested in dramas, foreign films, or Japanese films, we recommend "d Anime Store"! Judging from the name, you might think that this is a site exclusively for Docomo, but you can use it even if you have a smartphone from another company. I also use it, but since I don't have a Docomo smartphone, I pay for it with my mobile phone bill from another company. The best thing about d Anime Store is that it specializes in anime! You can't watch dramas or regular movies, but it seems to be head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to the number of anime titles. The monthly fee is also cheaper than other sites at 440 yen, making it easy to use in terms of monthly fee. Some of the anime movies and stage plays are available, and nostalgic anime are regularly uploaded, so it's my personal favorite anime site.
What streaming site can I watch "Cells at Work" on?
There is no clear information yet on which distribution site the second season of the anime Cells at Work! will be distributed, but the sites that distributed the first season of the anime are "d Anime Store", "Niconico Channel", "GYAO!", "dTV", "Bandai Channel", "Amazon Video", "Hikari TV", "U-NEXT", "Animehodai", "FOD", "Video Market", "Niconico Live Broadcast", "AbemaTV", "Video Pass", and "J:COM On Demand". Although there is some variation in the distribution time, it is distributed on the above sites, so if you have not yet seen "Cells at Work!", please watch it before the second season.
How to watch Cells at Work!! anime for free
So far, we have introduced ways to watch the second season of Cells at Work!! anime for free. What do you think? Personally, I recommend watching it for free on Nico Nico Douga or the VOD "d Anime Store" that specializes in anime, but most sites have a free trial period, so try out various sites and find the distribution site that suits you. Watching illegal videos is not allowed, so people who do that might be chased and killed by white blood cells (lol)
