God outsourced creation to a design agency, and the show is genuinely asking why a woodpecker's skull is built like that, why mantis shrimp see colors we can't name, why anglerfish females eat their mates. Every episode answers a real question about real animals by pretending a harried team of celestial engineers had to pitch the concept to an increasingly frustrated client. It's educational without feeling like a lecture, chaotic without losing the thread, and built for the specific person who stopped mid-conversation to wonder why giraffes have those horns.
God has made the heavens and the earth, but filling the planet with animals feels like too much bother, so he hands the work to an agency in heaven. There, designers and engineers turn his odd, often unreasonable requests into living creatures. Shimoda, a newly hired angel, acts as the go-between for God and the team, and he watches his coworkers dream up giraffes, snakes, birds, anteaters and much more. The comedy comes from watching professionals try to make sense of divine whims. Along the way, the show answers playful questions, such as why unicorns cannot exist and who would win between a bird and a snake. Adapted from a seinen manga, it is a fantasy comedy with a slice of life feel.
