Nobody talks about this one. A mouse that dreams in watercolor pastels, moving through a world that has no reason to rush, no reason to perform. Each episode dissolves into the next like something you half-remember from childhood, warm and purposeless in the best way. Topo Gigio doesn't ask you to care about plot or character arcs. It asks you to sit still and let a small thing be small, which turns out to be rarer on television than it should be. If you've ever wanted anime that feels like a lullaby instead of a story, this is it.

Topo Gigio continues his adventures with his growing circle of friends. The friendly talking mouse, the first of his kind to journey through the Milky Way as an astronaut, hails from a time 2,388,400 years in the future and can converse with humans. He befriends those around him, among them a girl and her pet mouse, several cats and other mice. This comedy series picks up where the earlier Topo Gigio anime left off, with production moving from Asahi Broadcasting to TV Tokyo for this 13-episode run.
