A sentient piece of bread worrying about getting moldy is somehow the most honest thing on TV. Every episode is just Mimi and her friends existing in a world that treats them like normal, which makes the absurdity disappear completely. You watch five minutes and realize you've stopped thinking about everything else, and by the time it's over you're not sure if you want toast or a friend.

Mimi is a piece of bread, and this short comedy follows her everyday life along with some of her friends and family. The episodes are brief, suited to the TV short format, and the humor comes from the day-to-day goings-on of its bread heroine. The anime adapts Natsuko Shimamori's four-panel manga Shokupan Mimi, also known as White Bread Mimi, and runs for 16 episodes.
