These are approval requirements, not a story formula. Mochi welcomes different genres, pacing, structures, and creative voices. Specific plot types and archetypes are not required.

Platform fit

Mochi is built for anime and stylized short-form storytelling.

• Visual style: anime, animation, or a clearly stylized illustrated format; no live action
• Orientation: 9:16 vertical is the standard format
• Episode length: 60–90 seconds is the standard target for the assembled episode. Individual generated scene clips can be shorter; check the clip length in Mochi.
• Language: English dialogue, or accurate English captions for non-English dialogue
• Captions: for Mochi Lab uploads with dialogue or narration, prepare a matching SRT file or use an available subtitle-generation option and review the result. For episodes created in the app, review the captions produced during Finish.

Creative quality

Mochi does not require a specific plot structure, pace, twist, trope, or archetype. We review whether the work feels intentional and ready for an audience.

Creative packs are optional direction for your series. A Story pack or Beat card can help shape a moment, but its suggested structure is not an approval requirement. See How Packs Work and Scene Creation Guide for creation guidance.

Before submitting, check that:

• The premise and viewing order are understandable
• Visuals are clear and consistent enough to follow
• Dialogue and audio are understandable
• Captions are accurate, synchronized, and readable
• The episode is complete and does not contain obvious placeholder or broken media
