The film inspired a sequel, Little Witch Academia: The Enchanted Parade, and a television anime.
Trigger revealed at its Anime Expo panel on Friday that Little Witch Academia director Yoh Yoshinari is directing a new original television anime titled BNA – Brand New Animal at Trigger, with Gurren Lagann and Kill la Kill writer Kazuki Nakashima as scriptwriter.
He made his directorial debut with the Little Witch Academia film, for which he also served as original creator and character designer.
Trigger screened the film at Anime Expo earlier today prior to the panel, and Otakon will also screen the film this month.
