A girl gets handed a magic doll collection and suddenly has to fight for a kingdom she didn't know existed. The real magic is watching a kids' show from 1998 treat its premise with complete sincerity, no winking, no irony, just Licca and her Doll Knights moving through a fantasy that treats a toy line as the actual plot, not the other way around. That commitment to the bit is what separates this from a hundred other magical girl shows trying to sell merchandise.
Licca Kayama thinks she is an average 10-year-old girl, living in a quiet suburb with her mother and grandmother. Then she learns the secret they have kept from her: she is a princess of the hidden Doll Kingdom. That discovery puts her in grave danger. The evil Dr. Scarecrow and his henchmen, sent by the kingdom's wicked new rulers, are after her and her throne, and they will use every magical trick to capture her. To keep her safe, Licca's grandmother gives her a set of dolls. When needed, they grow into the Doll Knights, once mighty guardians of the royal family and now her protectors. The result is a comedic magical girl fantasy.
