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 along with 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!
