Young Mari hates eating vegetables and drinking milk so much that she has nightmares about being force-fed the items. One day at school, the young girl chokes down her milk and vegetables and promptly faints from the shock. When she wakes up in the nurse’s office, she comes face to face with Ninninman, Piman and Milk, three food sprites that only appear when Mari drinks her milk and eats her carrots and peppers. Though Mari is less than enthusiastic about being haunted by her most hated foodstuffs, can the three spirits help her realize the importance of friendship, and maybe even teach her to finish her meals?

Where it came from
Bannou Yasai Ninninman was produced by P.A.Works as part of the 2011 Young Animator Training Project, an initiative funded by the Japanese Agency for Cultural Affairs to nurture emerging talent in the animation industry. The short film, directed by Masayoshi Nishida, was conceived as a creative exercise to showcase traditional hand-drawn animation techniques while providing a platform for newer staff members to take on lead creative roles within a professional studio environment.
The film follows the whimsical journey of a vegetable-themed hero, reflecting a playful, lighthearted approach to the tokusatsu genre blended with classic anime tropes. While the character design and narrative are straightforward, the project is primarily documented as a technical demonstration of P.A.Works' studio capabilities at the time, earning recognition for its vibrant visual direction and the successful mentorship of the junior animators who contributed to its production.
