These shorts treat a sentient potato and a confused houseplant like they're characters worth knowing. Nothing explodes, nobody learns a life lesson, things just exist and sometimes that's enough. It's the kind of show that plays while you're doing something else and somehow makes you smile at a talking object you weren't expecting to care about.

Every creature, plant, and object has a story waiting to be told. Gekkan! Nanmono Anime brings the Nandemo Ikimono characters of illustrator and character designer Yuri Yokomizo to the screen in short comedic slice-of-life pieces. In its world, anything can be alive: animals, plants, food, and everyday objects all lead lives of their own. New shorts arrive each month on social platforms such as Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok, and also stream on ABEMA, making them easy to catch while scrolling through a feed. They suit viewers who enjoy finding humor in the mundane.
