## Trivia

* As stated by Arai Hiroki himself, Ursula Callistis is his favorite character both in terms of appearance and personality, admiring how much she ensured Akko's growth as a proper witch despite opposition from the biased Anne Finnelan in Orange Submariner" — the same scene which left him moved. Being in charge in said episode's key animation, he was was also among many Studio Trigger staff who ensured aforementioned scene played in the way it intended to be, stating it was cool due to being completed after corrections from many people.
