Mari is a young elementary schooler who is terrified of two things—eating vegetables and crossing "Fear'a Bridge"—so much so that she has recurring nightmares of being forced to confront her fears. She avoids eating vegetables at all costs, and wakes up early so she and her friend Momo can walk out of their way to avoid the bridge. One day, Momo gets a dog that cannot be walked on the busy road she and Mari usually take, and Momo walks across the bridge, leaving Mari to walk to school alone. That same day, Mari's teacher sets a goal for the class to stop leaving food on their plates at lunchtime and Mari has to eat all three of her least favorite foods: carrots, peppers, and milk. After passing out from the shock of eating the vegetables, she awakens in the nurse's office to three food spirits calling themselves Ninninman, Piiman, and Milk. With the help of these bizarre beings, can Mari overcome her fears? [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Well what ever the hell The Agency of Cultural Affairs of Japan invested in, it spawned this master piece of a one shot anime. Well since there isn't a plot summary on the page I'll provide one here. Mari is an average grade schooler who hates eating carrots, peppers, and milk. One day during lunch time at school, she passes out after forcing carrots and peppers into her mouth and washing it all down with milk. She passes out moments later and wakes up in the nurses office where she meets a miniature carrot in a suit Tarroc (carrot spelled backwards) Man or in Japanese Ninninman alongwith his two friends Piiman and "Milk". . Story: 8 Mari's best friend Momo gets a pet dog. And the dog runs away the next day. She feels sorry for her and finds (and saves) her lost dog with the help of her little veggie creatures. The plot wasn't as special as the premise of the anime. Eating food you hate in order to summon little creatures of that food? It's easy to believe that some of the budget went into weed. Anyways, it was crazy awesome. Art: 8 The art and animation exceeded my expectations. The backgrounds and character designs were pretty high class. Animating little cartoon vegetables is no joke, but this anime did it. I mean it. They DID it. Sound: 7 Nothing special, voice acting was good. Character: 8 It was a one shot episode so there really isn't much to the two girls we see in the anime. Mari was pretty much a little girl who doesn't eat her greens and goes to great lengths for her best friend. It was the veggie characters that did it for me. Although I'm not sure how to explain them, their personalities makes the comedy work. Enjoyment: 8 Well WOW this was MUCH better than I had anticipated. Even if there were some parts that were tedious I had a few great laughs, especially at the end. Overall: 8 You go Tarrocman!
Young Animator Training Project/Anime Mirai short reviews: Part 4/12 I feel I should have liked Super Veggie more than I did. The whole veggie eating thing is just part of a larger theme of overcoming your fears, which is a pretty universal narrative anyone can understand and empathise with. Plus I usually like stories with little kids as protagonists. They have energy and enthusiasm but I can also sympathise with their small-time conflicts which translate into much broader and more universal feelings of loss or regret or fear or whatever. Thing is, Super Veggie doesn’t lean on that side heavily enough. The kid doesn’t feelfleshed out. Instead we spend too much time on the craaazy carrot character, who is a bit too wacky to the point that he gets irritating and he ends up overshadowing the kid entirely, and in doing so overshadows the entire story. More story less Dirty Harry references please. Verdict: Skip
