A full-fledged television anime series with a story separate from the films was announced in 2016. Little Witch Academia has also inspired two manga series.

Created by Japanese animation studio TRIGGER (Kill la Kill, Kiznaiver) and animator Yoh Yoshinari, Little Witch Academia began as a short film in 2013 made for Anime Mirai (currently known as Anime Tamago), a project used to train young animators. A new episode was funded via crowdfunding website Kickstarter, where it procured its goal of $150 thousand within five hours. The project ended with $625,518 collected.
