The opening shows the various members of the design team showcasing various animals.
Shimoda, a newly-hired angel is to be the communications liaison between the team and God. (He looks like a young salaryman, with a hint of dishevelment.)
The crew has another person who's only interested in how the animal looks and another who only cares about how it tastes. I haven't seen their names yet though.
Anyway, the client approves, and the Giraffe is born.
Ueda was called away on a sudden business trip. Hell is, of course, other contractors. (Tell me about it.)
When she returns, she brings Yokota, who has design requests from Hell. He liked the multiplying pandas and would like the team's help designing zombies.
Shimoda tests a device that let's him experience animal society. The society of the Naked Mole Rat, that is. (Approved!)
A request for a regenerating animal leads to a discussion of how aging helps animal populations and the creation of the Immortal Jellyfish. (Approved!)
God wants an animal suitable for Earth and Hell, that surprises even the angels.
The team considers dusting off the Tyrannosaurus, but goes with the Superb Lyrebird, whose mimicry makes the team think God is watching over their shoulder.
Kanamori accidentally designs the Kiwi while trying to make the last bird-like bird possible.
The team get an impossible request:a creature that doesn't sink, is immune to extremes of heat an cold, requires very little water, and can stand on painful ground.
It does remind me, vaguely of the edutainment cartoons that run on PBS. I wonder if it had a lot of young viewers in Japan, or if it was on at anime o'clock, so they couldn't actually watch it.
There's a running gag about replacing school with anime. This will fit right into the Zoology slot. Maybe watch _Cells at Work_ along with it to widen out your biology?
Shimoda give us a classic technique of injecting a character who doesn't understand, so he can ask questions of the experts, who can explain to him, and hence, to the audience.
Don't knock the trick, they even use it in the Bible.
My opening snark ("Well, we don't know Him that well. We only work for Him.") Is from _Time Bandits_, which is almost, but not entirety, unlike this show.
The team takes a vacation trip. Well, for those that aren't done it's a working vacation.
This give the opportunity for a hot springs episode, a sharknado parody and a murder mystery.
Animals accepted: flamingo, rattlesnake, California ground squirrel, hammerhead shark.
