While the characters themselves are sweet, the actual stories aren’t just fluff. Some of these plots border on the dark side: brainwashing and petrification followed by being smashed to pieces by one’s friends or having taken exams where only one character passes. Because of this, Chiikawa feels remarkably distinct from most other “cute critter” series like Sanrio.
The Chiikawa anime premiered in April 2022 and initially aired on Fridays as part of Fuji TV’s morning show “Mezamashi Terebi. The show became a semiweekly series starting in April 2023 with Tuesday and Friday broadcasts. Additionally, Sentai Filmworks acquired the license and streamed it with English subtitles on HIDIVE.
Chiikawa is voiced by Haruka Aoki, a child actress best known for voicing Liza in the Japanese dubbed version of Mighty Express; this will be her first anime role. However, other child actors are Makoto Tanaka from Okko’s Inn as Hachiware and Ari Ozawa as Usagi.
