The North American DVD release by A.D. Vision features two different English-dubbed versions: a straight translation of the original Japanese version (which was aired on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim block on November 7, 2004 with the original vintage episodes before making its official series premiere a week later) and an Americanized version with Western pop culture references and short live-action skits featuring ADV voice cast members.

Summary

The show centers on the activities of Milk, a young 5-year-old superheroine who may or may not actually have any powers and usually can do very little besides making popular culture references. Its American slogan, as a result, became "Wholesome? Probably not. Good for you? Definitely." She lives in a house on a suspended platform with her malfunctioning robotic maid Tetsuko and her drunken pet slug Hanage (nosehair). The show follows a fairly linear formula. In each episode, the President (of "Everything", according to his name) calls with a new mission; whether Milk actually takes the mission is not guaranteed. Regardless of whether or not she takes the mission, she always takes credit and celebrates her success by going out for "sushi (or something)." Likewise, there are a number of other constants that follow through the series, often under contrived circumstances.

Major characters

Milk (ミルク, Miruku) / Milk-chan (ミルクチャン, Miruku-chan)

Voiced by: Haruka Nakamura (Japanese); Hilary Haag (English)

The title character of the show, Milk is an infantile little girl whose status as a superhero is questionable. She is often selfish, vain, short-tempered, and has a habit of drooling, but is not devoid of decent qualities. She harbors a love-hate relationship with the President and Tetsuko, alternating between tormenting them and getting along with them. Although she works officially for the President, she chooses on her own whether or not she wants to follow his orders. Coincidentally, her house is in the shape of a baby bottle and she still drinks powdered milk from a baby bottle on occasion.

Tetsuko (テツコ, Tetsuko)

Voiced by: Ayumi Nagashi (Japanese); Monica Rial (direct translated version), Marcy Bannor (Americanized version) (English)

An obsolete robot maid, Tetsuko was created at the King's Idea Laboratory in 1982. She lives with and works for Milk. Tetsuko is a more conservative character, the only occasional voice of reason on the show when she is questioning Milk's greedy, questionable, or random decisions. She yearns for a stable traditional family life, which the living organisms around her do not even consider. Milk often calls her a piece of junk and Tetsuko is torn between loving Dr. Eyepatch (who may or may not be her "daddy") and being disappointed in him when he insults her or offers to replace her. She has the ability to generate a fart ("Tetsuko's gas") that is lethal enough to even kill a raging bear. The only character that brings out Tetsuko's aggressive side is Robodog, whom she hates. They are in a constant conflict over Milk's affection, much to Milk's amusement.

Hanage (ハナゲ, Hanage, born 2002)

Voiced by: Brad Pyutt (Japanese); Ben Pronsky (English)

Hanage is Milk's green, middle-aged pet slug known as a "Hanage". He has a drinking problem and is incapable of speech, though he can understand multiple languages. When he does speak, it's usually to express his thoughts; often a maudlin soliloquy, that are referred to as "the voice of Hanage's heart." "Hanage" means "nose hair" in Japanese.

President (大統領, Daitōryō, Born 1964)

Voiced by: Yuichi Nagashima (Japanese); Mike MacRae (English)

The President is a stout bald man who apparently runs the country Milk lives in (referred to only as "our nation", a subtle reference to the Japanese habit of referring to their country as such instead of using the proper names "Nihon" or "Nippon"). No one knows how he achieved his office. He assigns missions to Milk, but whether she takes them or not is her prerogative. The President proves to be inept and incapable at fulfilling his job, at one point firing his country's best missile (The Punishment Missile) on his own country at his own conclusion that his citizens would try to put him in the Guillotine or the electric chair. He has short, round arms and he frequently pounds on his desk when talking on the phone. The President likes wine, women, and song but he usually enjoys cheap wine, loose women, and off-key karaoke. He also attracts flies and dearly loves his pet cat, Kanchi. His desk is decorated with a different anime or pop culture character figure on every episode.

Doctor Eyepatch (アイパッチ博士, Aipatchi Hakase, born 1966)

Voiced by: Nobuo Tobita (Japanese); Tommy Drake (English)

A mysterious blue humanoid with an eyepatch, a black cloak, and a robotic arm, Dr. Eyepatch runs the King's Idea Laboratory (王様のアイデア研究所, Ō-sama no Aidea Kenkyūsho). In each episode, he provides Milk with a new invention or gives information about topics of concern. Whether he created Tetsuko or not is never fully explained, but he always belittles her or offers to have her replaced. The eyepatch over Dr. Eyepatch's right eye changes its design every episode; sometimes it changes several times in the course of a single episode. He is seen only on a TV screen and he also once hosted the NG awards.

Landlord (大家, Ōya, born 1970)

Voiced by: Hidero (Japanese); Rob Mungle (English)

A purple-haired and white-skinned humanoid dressed in blue clothes and with a head shaped like a daikon radish. He is Milk's landlord. As Milk is perpetually over six months behind on her rent, he continually tries to get payment from her. However, whenever he tries to get the rent, she does or says something that shocks or tricks him, causing him to run back across the ladder to his own home. He is also anxious, as he once thought he lost his "purse," but shortly finds it after making a racket over it. The landlord is gay and this was disclosed in the Japanese version of Episode 9, "Financial Decay Peninsula". His being gay is openly referred to in more than one episode.

The Ant Family (アリの一家, Ari no Ikka)

Voiced by: Nobuo Tobita (Yoshiki Arita), Yūko Minaguchi (Helen) (Japanese); Todd Posthlewaite (Yoshiki Arita), Shelley Calene-Black (Helen Arita), David Matranga (Ario) (English)

A family of ants (a mother, a cuckolded father, and a baby larva) live underground near Milk's house. Their portion of the show chronicles their constant marital troubles. The family consists of Yoshiki Arita (蟻田 よしき, Arita Yoshiki), an overbearing, suspicious husband, Helen (ヘレン, Heren), an unfaithful wife, and Ario (アリ夫, Ario), their son. The family seems pretty neutral in the first three episodes, but things start to get tense afterwards. After noticing his wife's behavior and realizing that she is cheating, Yoshiki becomes more and more enraged, while Helen just denies it or changes the subject and talks to Ario. Eventually, Helen takes Ario and leaves. In the final episode of the show, Yoshiki writes a letter to his family and commits suicide.

Other characters

Haruo

A robot that Tetsuko has a crush on. He only appears in the 1998 series.

The Counterfeiter

A counterfeiter who (really) likes Belgian waffles. He makes counterfeit bills to buy a lot of them. In the Japanese version, the real currency has pictures of "Kin" while the counterfeit bills have pictures of "Gin" - a reference to the oldest-living twins. In the Americanized version, the bills are differentiated by pictures of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen.

The Colonel

Presumably from the Navy, he and his assistant try in vain to get in contact with The President in trying to stop the Punishment Missile, but to no avail; The President is on the phone with Milk and quickly forgot about said missile. Quickly becoming a nervous wreck, The Colonel tries to get help from Dr. Eyepatch, only for the doctor to be absolutely unhelpful.

Kyuu the Myna Bird

A bird that Tetsuko started keeping, but died the next week. It looks like a toucan. His favorite thing is "Chaushu" and his favorite kind of girl is bouncy. One episode later, he is revealed to have died right away, like most myna birds do.

Kanchi (カンチ, Kanchi)

Voiced by: Manekineko Edoya

A very cute cat wearing a red dress that runs away from the president finding him disgusting for being too clinging and Milk and the gang have to find her. She is found in a place called Meow Meow World. At first she refuses to return to the president and claims that she can get by with subsidized dating, but after Milk reads the president's letter, she is moved to tears and decides to return. She was first found by the president in a cardboard box on a rainy day.

Leonardo the Japanese Bear

A violent bear from an Osaka bear farm. He defeats Robo Willy, but gets knocked out by Tetsuko's gas attack.

Pastel Mr. Shin (パステルしんさん, Pasuteru Shin-san)

A mentally disabled man dressed as a kindergarten student. He tries to get kids to play with him, but they can't because their parents said they couldn't. He gets shocked and throws a tantrum whenever they say he's not a kid. His name is a parody of Crayon Shin-chan.

Keizao Butae/Colonel Flanders

The factory manager of the Gentucky Pork Legs Factory, who resembles Colonel Sanders. While hitting on an employee, he accidentally presses the laser control button, shutting down the power of the Pork Gun which allows Tonkichi & Tononko to escape. Keizao then hires a hitman to take them out.

Barazou

A live-action cross-dressing man who appears frequently on the news. In the Americanized version, he is cut out and replaced by someone else.

Akiko Maitake (舞茸 秋子, Maitake Akiko)

Akiko is heard but never seen. She is seemingly a young Japanese girl who does video art. Her "art" is never much more than a pretentious monologue read by her as she takes a video of normal things happening in Japan. The videos are live action and cut randomly into the show in various episodes.

Tonkichi & Tonko / Palmer & Penny

Two pigs that are in love with each other. After escaping the Gentucky Pork Legs Factory, they defect to a country where people don't eat pork. As soon as they arrive, they are turned into pork legs by a hired hitman. Tonkichi may be a reference to the pig with the same name from the anime Hamtaro (though Hamtaro's English dub calls the pig Herbert)

King's Idea Laboratory Mechas

• Robodog No. 1 (ロボドッグ犬1号, Robodoggu-Inu 1-Gō, Robodog-Dog No. 1)

Voiced by: Yuichi Nagashima (Japanese); David Matranga (English)
