The collaboration marks KADOKAWA's first simultaneous release of a premium Chinese animation produced by a Chinese streaming platform. The collaboration demonstrates iQIYI's ability to produce high-quality Chinese animation that resonates with audiences worldwide.
Co-produced by iQIYI and KuaiKan World (Beijing) Technology Co., Ltd, "The Fated Magical Princess" premiered on iQIYI on September 29.

"The Fated Magical Princess" offers a captivating reinterpretation of Western-style fairy tales, blending familiar themes with Chinese cultural elements through breathtaking artistry and a compelling narrative. The series tells a story of resilience and connections, following young Princess Athanasia of the Obelian Empire as she navigates a world of enchantment and peril. From honing her prophetic gifts and mastering magic with the enigmatic magician Lucas, to forging unbreakable friendships, Athanasia must outwit dark palace conspiracies to reclaim her destiny.

The series explores the majesty of the imperial Forbidden City through the lens of its most charming inhabitants, the palace cats. Employing a unique animation style, the series beautifully showcases China's rich cultural heritage and unique traditional Eastern aesthetics. The animation will be distributed to major overseas markets, including Japan, the Americas, and Europe.
