Milk-chan is a girl who lives in a house stuck on the side of a building with her two sidekicks: Tetsu-ko, a paranoid robot that looks like a bottle and Hanage, a green blob with a moustache.
Milk is poor and she can`t pay the rent, especially after her attempt to extort a local ant family fails. However, she is saved because the president himself offers her a job (some sort of a secret mission). Milk-chan answers the phone to receive missions from The President by saying something like "Hello, Bank of Hokkaido. Just kidding!".
After getting her mission, Milk-chan and her sidekicks take off aboard the "Milk-6" helicopter to go on her mission. Did I tell you this is a spoof of 1970s spy thrillers or some sort of Bond movies? :)

Where it came from
Super Milk-Chan originated as a segment on the Fuji TV variety show Hirake! Ponkikki in 1998, created by Hideyuki Tanaka and produced by Genco. The series was designed as a subversive, surrealist parody of the magical girl genre, featuring a cynical and abrasive five-year-old protagonist. Tanaka’s aesthetic, defined by his signature 'Super Milk' art style, utilized simplistic, flat vector-like character designs that stood in sharp contrast to the more intricate animation styles prevalent in the late 1990s.
The show gained a cult following for its bizarre humor, rapid-fire dialogue, and nihilistic tone, which intentionally alienated traditional viewers while appealing to an audience interested in avant-garde animation. Its visual minimalism was a deliberate creative choice by Tanaka, reflecting a broader movement in Japanese pop culture that prioritized quirky, iconic character branding over complex narrative or fluid movement. Following its initial run, the franchise expanded through various iterations, including a full-length series in 2004, cementing its status as a divisive but influential piece of experimental television.
