Incredibly proud to see Mochi launch today.
It’s been quite a journey building Mochi from the ground up since the early days.
We’re just getting started 🚀
ReelShort made $1B last year on microdramas.
We’re doing it for anime.
Today we launch Mochi, the first platform for anime microdramas. Backed by @ycombinator (S26).
One minute episodes, new series daily. Produced with AI.
In just a few months, we've hit 300M+ views and partnered with top writers from Toei Animation, Marvel, and Cartoon Network.
Viewers can also become creators too: anyone can make their own anime in the app.
The next hit anime won’t take a studio and 3 years anymore. It’ll take a phone.
