Little Witch Academia is not produced by a Japanese animation studio.
 Japanese anime TV series became very successful internationally since the 1960s, and European producers looking for affordable cel animators relatively often started co-productions with Japanese studios, resulting in hit series such as Barbapapa (The Netherlands/Japan/France 19731977), Wickie und die starken Mnner/  (Vicky the Viking) (Austria/Germany/Japan 1974), and The Jungle Book (Italy/Japan 1989)
 A second short film partially funded through Kickstarter, Little Witch Academia: The Enchanted Parade, was released in October 2015
