Unlike the main television anime series which is mostly set in modern-day Japan, the new series will be a "sealed room" suspense comedy set 100 years in the future. The story begins when Shinnosuke and the entire Nohara family wake up from cold sleep to find themselves aboard a space ship drifting in space. The anime will depict the various events that take place inside the ship.

Food
"Mr. Smith" was actually Jiro Jailbreaker, a fugitive sentenced to 800 years in prison. He takes control of all the food. As Takosuke butters up to Jailbreaker and gets some, Hiroshi begs to get a small share for his family. Meanwhile, Ellen notices something about the capsules they woke up in.
10 People And A Dog
Micchi and Yoshirin disappear. Shinnosuke and a few others search for them and find something else. They find out there's one less capsule than the number of humans on board. No human could live for a 100 years without being stored in one. Could there be an alien among them?
Proof Of Being Human
Shiro suddenly grows bigger and Jailbreaker suspects that the dog is actually the alien. Hiroshi suggests a way to determine whether someone is human or not. As they take turns taking the test, Shiro changes even further.

Butts
A "tonsil" robot emerges from the woman-shaped shell. They make the tonsil robot tell them the way to return to Earth.

Attacked by Buttmen, they break up and run in different directions. Shinnosuke pulls away from Hiroshi to save Shiro. His parents try to stop him but they are separated from the others by a fire shutter. Meanwhile, Jailbreaker and Takosuke arrive at the cockpit first. Will they decide to take off without the others?
To Earth
Shinnosuke and Buttman face off. The silliest 5-year-old on Earth and the perfect life form from space clash in a fierce battle of butts. Who will come out victorious? And will Shinnosuke and the others be able to make it back to Earth?
