I just wish it had more slice-of-life adventure and less action, because the fights are really, really weak. It's going for comedy battles like Gintama, but it's like the creators haven't clocked that Gintama's fights were imaginative and, well, funny.
EDIT: But I realise I am critiquing an edutainment show aimed at children which seems kinda harsh in retrospect.
I watched the first two episodes but the character designs just don't really click with me. Something just felt off, I'm not sure if it was just the way White blood cell was drawn, or what but I didn't like it that much. Maybe you are right and it was just the fight scenes being a bit wonky. I might go back and take another look when there are a few more episodes.
I've gone back and have been re-watching the Familiar of Zero

Funny little comedy about a guy who gets sucked into another world with magic and the like. Kind of Like Konosuba I guess, except it's less like a video game.
