TLDR
A September 18, 2026 post claims The Odyssey opened in second place in Japan on September 11, behind a film featuring Chiikawa that had been in theaters for eight weeks. The author argues that Chiikawa’s appeal comes from the contrast between its cute creatures and their difficult lives: working jobs they dislike, repeatedly failing exams and facing monsters.
