Abstract: This study, grounded in affordance theory, systematically analyzes the media logic of“ China-Style” anime IP, and while delving into its content narrative, media narrative, and the communication ecosystem within the industrial chain under transmedia contexts, based on the inherent mechanisms of anime IP’ s transmedia storytelling. The research reveals that guided by affordance logic, the content narrative of“ Chinese-style” anime IP focuses on cultural construction within storyworlds, employing multidimensional narrative strategies including character empathy, shared values, and the construction of participants’ social relationships to shape deep-level interactions between IP and audiences. Furthermore, the media narrative of“ Chinese-style” anime IP has evolved from traditional unidirectional linear communication models to contemporary transmedia dissemination paradigms. This transformation not only facilitates cross-border circulation of classic Chinese symbolic elements across media platforms but also enhances IP circulation and value realization within industrial chains.
