Episode 5 • Oct 10, 1987
Le sang
Today we go on a long journey through the blood-circle. The task of the blood corpuscles is to transport oxygen to the cells and take the waste, carbon dioxide, to the lungs. We get to know our friends Hemo, who dreams of pure oxygen, the slim Globine, who helps him, and the wise Master Globus, who gives them advice and tells them to be aware of intruders and strangers to the human body.
Episode 6 • Oct 17, 1987
Les petites plaquettes
Every single day, our bone marrow produces up to 400 billion platelets. Why do we need them though? To find out, we will accompany a group of platelets on their way through the circulation. They take care that the blood stays liquid. There's big danger when a threatening congestion in a blood vessel is discovered.
Episode 7 • Oct 24, 1987

La respiration
Peter and Pierrette go on a jogging tour with two friends in the park. They become acquainted with two pulmonary alveoli who are having a conversation about the young runners. Topic: the breathing.

Episode 11 • Nov 21, 1987
L'oeil
It's a beautiful morning and little Peter opens a window. He sees a gorgeous butterfly. Suddenly he realizes that he sees. Why do we recognize forms and colors?

Episode 12 • Nov 28, 1987

La peau
How many clothes and how many pairs of shoes do we need in a lifetime? The skin is some kind of clothing as well, just that we can't take it off, nor can we buy a new one. The skin must last for the entire life and renews itself constantly. Today, Globus had a special idea for his friends: a trip through the different layers of the skin.

Episode 16 • Dec 26, 1987
L'usine du foie
The liver only constitutes around two percent of the total body weight, and still consumes a quarter of all oxygen that we breathe in. It is a highly specialized laboratory inside the human body. The matter that comes from the digestion is being processed here. First, there is the "customs officer" at the entrance to the liver.
Episode 17 • Jan 02, 1988

Le système lymphatique
Quite an unknown organ, this lymphatic system with all the branches and nodes and the liquid. This time, our friends, the red corpuscles, don't accompany us, because they don't belong here. But Young Peter and his friends undergo another adventure on their trip through this system, whose task it is to transport nutrition in the body.

Les muscles et la graisse
The muscles constitute about a half of our total body weight.

Final Approach

Final Approach

Ever since their parents died a few years ago, Ryo and his sister Akane have been living alone together. Despite their difficult situation, they are still living reasonably happy and normal lives. However, everything is about to be flipped upside-down due to a secret government project. Due to increasingly low birth rates in Japan, the Japanese government is testing a program in which two young people are forced to marry. Ryo wants no part of it, but he is given little choice in the matter; his new fiancée, Shizuka, comes to his home late one night with several dozen government issued bodyguards, who are there to ensure the success of the new couple. Unlike Ryo, Shizuka couldn't be more willing to go along with this new program, and eagerly goes about her wifely duties, despite his objections. With meddling friends, pushy bodyguards, and an overenthusiastic new fiancée, Ryo's life has taken a turn in a direction the young man certainly didn't expect.
