1/25
* As the coming-of-the-age franchise revolving a protagonist who attends the magic school in Great Britain and making friends and rivals alike, facing enemies and hardships alike, and even involved in an important destiny, it's no surprise the series was compared with *Harry Potter* and *The Worst Witch* since they share aforementioned elements. For this reason, it is not uncommon for fans to believe in and/or create and perpetrate a number of misconceptions between three franchises (see Little Witch Academia misconceptions for more information).
* *Little Witch Academia* series also similarly compared to Kōhei Horikoshi's superhero Shōnen manga *My Hero Academia* for similarly sounded title and few key similarities in their premise (a tale about youths who sought to be like their role models despite being nobodies who lacked necessary talents and/or skills for it at the beginning, becoming the protege of said role models and learning things about them at personal levels good and bad, and had said role models handicapped thus preventing them from doing their jobs at their fullest at later point of the story). That being said, the stakes of Deku's struggles proved to be higher than Akko's considering he soon fight a war against a destructive villain known as All for One and his protege Tomura Shiragaki.
* Another series which compared to *Little Witch Academia* also for featuring young witches-in-training which includes a nobody who aspired to become a proper witch is Kamome Shirahama' *Witch Hat Atelier*, something recently noted in April 17, 2023 by Mysterious Galaxy Bookstore, which recommended it as their pairing choice for the former series' fans. However, the premise of the latter series is much darker since Coco's apprenticeship with her mentor Qifrey is further motivated by the day she magically petrified her mother by mistake, an incident which turned out to be part of conspiracy orchestrated by the Brimmed Caps, a coven of evil magic users who intended to shape her into a messianic figure who will help them revive the free use of magic.
* Though likely a coincidence, a girl with striking resemblance to Akko appeared in episode 3 of anime adaptation of Nyoijizai's 2015 manga series *Harukana Receive*.
* Three ponies that resembles Akko, Lotte, and Sucy appears made a cameo appearance in Issue 6 of IDW Publishing's My Little Pony: Legends of Magic.
	+ Though unconfirmed, such homage was arguably made in response of both short films of *Little Witch Academia* franchise had alluded *My Little Pony* prior;
		- A plushie resembling Rarity can be seen on Lotte's desk in both shorts.
		- An old, worn plushie resembling Twilight Sparkle is along items Sucy examined while she, Akko, and Lotte search a chamber seemingly full of junk — the same chamber Ursula hid Shiny Rod long ago.
* A character that looks similar to Akko, Jasminka, Hannah, and Barbara made a cameo in *Pokémon the Series: Sun & Moon* episode, *Mounting an Electrifying Charge!*.
	+ Another similar looking character also featured as a recurring background character in *SSSS.Gridman* where she appears in Episode 2, Episode 3, Episode 5, Episode 8, and Episode 13. Unlike in *Little Witch Academia* however, Akko's *SSSS.Gridman* incarnation has brown eyes and hair as well as lacked her signature ponytail.
* *BNA: Brand New Animal*, another of Studio Trigger works, has scores of allusions to *Little Witch Academia*, some of which were intentional in Shiori Miyazaki's part despite Yoshinari against such decision:
	+ The earliest allusion happens to be appearances of beastmen versions of Akko and Lotte at separate points in the first episode. The two would later reappear in episode 8 among the crowd who supports Silver Wolf Order near Horners.
	+ Akko's hat makes a cameo appearance in episode 4 of *BNA: Brand New Animal* among hats Michiru tries shortly after regaining her human form.
	+ Though easy to miss, Nendroid version of Akko with bunny ears, along with Constanze's and cardboard cut of Akko in playboy costume makes a brief appearance in episode 11.
	+ One of officials who captured Nazuna in the flashback scene of episode 11 clearly modeled after Andrew appearance-wise. The same character later made another appearance in episode 9.
* Akko's Luna Nova standard robe, witch hat, sash and wand made a cameo as one of props in the magic shop Amity, Willow, Gus, and Hunter visit in the first special which made the first part of Season 3 of *The Owl House*.
	+ The allusion was a nod to the fact that Dana Terrace, the creator of *The Owl House* series, was no stranger to *Little Witch Academia* as she confessed that rewatching the 2013 titular film has an influence to the rough animation experiment posted in her now deleted Tumblr and Blogspot post in September 15, 2013.
	+ The same costume set also appeared in Season 3 Episode 12 of *Duncanville*, being worn by Kimberly Harris in said episode.
* Two minor character who designed after Lotte and (in lesser extent) Amanda are featured in *Kamen America* series by Timothy Lim. Another allusion to *Little Witch Academia* in the comic series being a panel featuring the titular character's facial expression while thinking hard to solve problem at hand which jarringly resembles Akko's own during the awakened Titan's crisis in *The Enchanted Parade*.
	+ Another character in the same series, Kamen Comet, similarly resembles Amanda design-wise. In one panel, she even made a pose reminiscent to Ryūko Matoi, the protagonist of *Kill la Kill*, another Studio Trigger production.
* The series was mentioned by Averno and Janus, two users of Juustagram (a fictional social media platform that operates almost similarly to Instagram) in 2017 side-scrolling shoot 'em up video game *Azur Lane*.
* As revealed in one of their conversations in 2020, the owner of official Twitter account of *Puyo Puyo* franchise confesses that *Little Witch Academia* is their favorite Studio Trigger anime in addition of *Kill la Kill*, with their favorite Little Witch Academia character being Constanze.
* The female Chinese VTuber Civia revealed that *Little Witch Academia* is one of her favorite anime series, the other being *Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt*.
* Plastic Superman, the intermediate master level hero and one of the minor characters from the 2020 Chinese manhua *Cultivator vs Superhero* who debuted in the 1st chapter of the series, is clearly inspired by Andrew Hanbridge appearance-wise. Plastic Man's trademark suit as a civilian clearly designed after the latter's own also.
* Though unconfirmed, an in-universe novel series titled *Nightfall* in Pixar's 2022 animated movie *Turning Red* appeared to be the homage to the eponymous novel series in *Little Witch Academia* series. Considering the studio's character designer Grant Alexander had eventful history with Studio Trigger (having recurring collaborations together and involved in two of the series' episodes), this may very well intentional in his part.
* The mobile game *Clawbert* features a homage to Akko in form of Akkie, one of 100 toys which can be found in Old Town level.
* Though likely a coincidence, the main setting of the upcoming survival horror game, *Horror Stories: Harvest Hunt* is a curse village which shares the same name as the magic school Akko attended, Luna Nova.
* Opening and closing themes of *Little Witch Academia* anime TV series are available in 2008 arcade music video games *Jubeat* by Konami Computer Entertainment Japan.
* The hairstyle of Terra Grayson in her teenage years from comic book series *Invincible* as illustrated by Cory Walker was inspired by Akko's own.
* Though likely a coincidence, the depiction of Valkyrie unit from *Clash Royale* in Valkyrie Evolution Reveal trailer curiously bears a passing resemblance to Amanda (see at 0:02 to be believed).

### Miscellaneous

* In 2018, Joy Yee Plus featured a mural illustration featuring various anime characters enjoying themselves not unlike the restaurant's visitors, among which being Akko, Mami Tomoe and even Saitama as sort of tribute to their respective series.
* Along with a livedraw in which it decorated customers' sandwich boxes with sketches of various anime characters, Amanda included, as part of its participation in Anime Expo 2018, Arby's further popularized *Little Witch Academia* by taking part in promotion of video games by Bandai Namco at Anime Expo 2017 during which it hid art drop of each game somewhere in the location of the event and reward those who managed to find it prizes. One such art drop was of course, a carton model of Shiny Rod for promoting *Chamber of Time* game thus anyone who managed to find it gained the privilege to move past the line for trying demo version of said game along with winning a shirt.
* In October 6, 2017, employees of University of Memphis' branch of Starbucks drew Sucy to decorate its special menu board which, at the time, featured Pumpkin Spice Chai Latte.2 days later, Tokyo Otaku Mode posted about the board on their Facebook account, further popularizing it as several groups such as Yama-Con Anime-Comic Convention, Magyar Anime Társaság, Tokyo Beat and Anime London shared the aforementioned post to their pages.
* Anđela Andzl Joković aka. Andjela Jokovic, the Serbian animator and director who won 2 oscars at the age of 19, cites *Little Witch Academia*as her favorite anime series. In addition of collecting the series' merchandise , she once cosplayed as Akko, she once worked on a clay model of Ursula Callistis and even featured a fan-made post of Little Witch Academia and My Hero Academia in her 2018 showreel.
* The Taiwanese Illustrator and drawing teacher Krenz Cushart features some of *Little Witch Academia* artworks by Yoshinari as part of online lecture in YouTube.
* During 2023 r/place canvas event, one of contestants featured pixel illustration of Akko at one point only for apparently losing as their pic got deleted when the result came out.
* A curious advertisement offering various dark magic services, such as curses (at 50% off), making someone fall in love, and cleansing your spirit at Latin America has a drawing of Sucy holding materials presumably for conducting the aforementioned magic spells.

## Trivia

* As revealed in its twitter post in May 8, 2021, Chord Design Studio once collaborated with Studio Trigger in designing anime series' logo, including its one-line variant. Unfortunately, such designs apparently scrapped in favor of current ones, if the studio's statement where it eventually discredited by the conclusion of development of anime series was any indication.
	+ Chord Design Studio also designed the logo for the second short, *The Enchanted Parade*, which it had no chance to reveal to Studio Trigger back during the Studio's collaboration with the latter.
* In an interview with the now defunct site Fighting For Nippon on November 26, 2017 (the same interview which reveals when Netflix started to involved, how the production of its TV Series adaptation episode worthwhile thanks to freedom given to showrunners involved despite their tighter schedule than short films), Yoshinari revealed that he intended many aspects of *Little Witch Academia* franchise to be played different from other Japanese animes with magical girls, describing it to be a clash between Japanese and Western cultures. As Tsutsumi added, the style they used for the franchise, which not unlike older works such as *Himitsu no Akko-chan*, was difficult to develop due to facing a decline and about to be phased out in favor of more popular moe style in Japanese entertainment industry.
* According to Michiyo Murase, strong points of TV series adaptation of the franchise in addition of script and animation by Studio TRIGGER are dynamic between Akko and Diana, Lotte and other side of her glasses, Hannah and Barbara's antics, Jasminka hidden potential (which sadly not fleshed out in the series proper), Constanze and her Stanbots, Amanda's coolness, Ursula and Shiny Chariot's mystery, and importantly, her character Sucy and her mushrooms.
* It's evident that Studio Trigger based many elements of the series' lore, magic in particular, on those in real-life.
	+ Incantations of Nullification Spell which debuted in *The Enchanted Parade* appeared to be based on Kabbalistic term in Jewish mysticism. Even Kabbalah itself was featured alongside Numerology and Temple Menorah as part of Samantha Badcock's lecture in "Pappiliodya", the second episode of anime TV Series.
	+ Similarly, in "Chariot of Fire", the 15th episode of anime TV Series, Croix's lecture featured passing references to darker forms of real-life witchcraft as part of magic's very sordid history.
	+ Perhaps befitting to their focus on Revitalization Magic, members of House of Cavendish prefer to use wand with serpent motif interwind in the handle which is likely a reference to the **Rod of Asclepius**, from Greek mythology, which is a serpent-entwined rod wielded by the Greek god Asclepius, a deity associated with healing and medicine.
