The long-awaited collaboration between two beloved idol anime franchises—Aikatsu! and PriPara—is finally happening. The theatrical anime film titled “Aikatsu! × PriPara THE MOVIE: Miracle of Encounter!” is officially slated for release in fall 2025.

This project celebrates the 10th anniversary of both series, which first aired in 2014. The crossover brings together Aikatsu!’s Akari Generation and PriPara’s Laala in a commemorative film that encapsulates the theme of “miraculous encounters.”

A Tale of Two Idol Worlds

Aikatsu! follows girls at Starlight Academy striving to become top idols through the use of Aikatsu! Cards and hard work, blending sports anime spirit with showbiz dreams. In contrast, PriPara is set in a magical idol theme park where anyone can become an idol, focusing on the friendships and rivalries of girls aiming to become “God Idols.”

Now, after a decade of popularity and influence, the two worlds collide in a new story packed with "ten years of love" and "ten years of gratitude" for fans who’ve supported both franchises since their debut.

Teaser Visual and PV Reveal the Historic Stage Moment

The teaser visual unveiled for the film features Aikatsu!’s Akari Oozora and PriPara’s Laala Manaka holding hands—an emotional shot that symbolizes their long-awaited meeting. While they’ve existed in parallel worlds for a decade, this film finally brings them face to face.
