Problem
Fans of serialized animated content often find themselves split between traditional long-form anime, which requires significant time investment, and short-form web comics that lack the dynamic motion and production polish of animation. Independent creators face similar hurdles, lacking a dedicated platform to publish episodic animated shorts and build an audience without competing against studio-backed productions.
Solution
General Anime operates Mochi.TV, a streaming platform purpose-built for anime shorts and serialized webtoon-style animated series. The service offers a curated catalog of original shows across genres such as action, romance, fantasy, revenge, and thriller, with flagship titles like God Slayer—a revenge saga where a resurrected man hunts Olympian gods in a modern metropolis. Beyond its flagship slate, Mochi.TV includes Mochi Lab, a community-driven section where independent creators publish their own episodic series directly on the platform. Mochi Lab features a weekly leaderboard ranking creators by view counts and highlights the hottest new releases, giving emerging talent a path to visibility. The platform operates across web and mobile app interfaces, with social login support and payment processing handled through the App Store.
Target Audience
Primary users are anime and webtoon enthusiasts seeking short-form episodic animated content, along with independent creators who want a platform to publish and grow audiences for their own animated series.
