シチュエーションコメディ「アリフォルニア」

In this closed-off world deep underground, a series of absurd and bizarre events unfolds. Each time, the ants feel anger, sadness and confusion, but eventually they always find hope and are left feeling refreshed and liberated (catharsis!). This is a heart-warming story in which the ants live out their ordinary, everyday lives, layer by layer. It is an ‘allegorical comedy’ that projects the loneliness and sense of stagnation found in modern society onto the ants.

Directed by —, シチュエーションコメディ「アリフォルニア」 leans on a strong ensemble — Teppei Arita, Tatsuya Fukazawa, Suzuki Mogura — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 2026.
