Episode 38: Pet-in-a-Can
August 14, 1990 • 10 min
Young animator Koh Arao has a pet myna bird in his apartment against the building's rules. Tachiki from next door notifies the landlord and the bird is allowed to escape. As compensation, Moguro gives Arao a eucalyptus tree in a can and promises that if Arao talks to it, it will bring him happiness. Arao finds the tree fascinating and it prompts him to create a successful pitch for an animated series about a koala and a eucalyptus tree. However, Tachiki discovers the tree and cuts it to pieces. Moguro then regenerates the tree whose branches grow and deposit Tachiki on top of a telegraph pole.
