If you have enjoyed the ongoing donghua series Fabulous Beasts (aka You Shou Yan) as much as millions of other people do, you have already watched an animated series created by Fenz Animation Studio.



Fenz was founded in Beijing in 2012 and, since then, has created some of the cutest and funniest donghua coming out of China.

Fenz itself describes what it does and what its goals are like this:

Fenz is a comprehensive media company that deeply explores the full value chain of animation IP incubation and development.

Our business includes manga IP incubation, animation and film production, development and sales of derivative consumer products, as well as IP marketing and promotion services.

In the last more than a decade, we have successfully incubated leading IPs such as ‘Non-Human’, ‘All Saints Street,’ and ‘Fabulous Beasts.’
