The animation film "Little Witch Academia: Magic Parade" will offer a set of three original reproductions as a special gift to visitors! Pre-sale of BDs at theaters will also be held.

The "Little Witch Academia: Magical Parade" anime film, which will be released on October 9, 2012, has announced visitor perks and BD theater pre-sales.



Little Witch Academia: Magic Parade" is a sequel to "Little Witch Academia," a 25-minute original short animation depicting the school life of apprentice witches, which was produced by Trigger in March 2013 as a part of "Anime Mirai 2013," a project to foster young animators by the Agency for Cultural Affairs. In July 2013, the project started soliciting funds for the sequel production on the American crowdfunding service "Kickstarter," and reached its goal of $150,000 in just five hours. In the end, a total of $625,518 (approx. 74 million yen) was collected from 7,938 supporters in one month, and production began on a 40-minute short animation "Little Witch Academia 2 (tentative title)". The director continues to be Yoh Yoshinari. It will be screened at the same time as the previous "Little Witch Academia.

This time, the visitor's bonus has been unveiled. The prize is a set of three reproductions of Yoshinari's original drawings with a cut-out bag (four kinds in all), which allows visitors to enjoy Yoshinari's spirited original drawings. One of the four sets is a reproduction of an original from the previous film. The BD will also be sold in advance exclusively at theaters. In addition to the limited edition extras such as a soundtrack CD, a 100-page art book (character settings, roughs, art, original drawings, etc.), and leaflets, a collection of image roughs will also be included as a theater-only bonus. The price is 7,870 yen plus tax.


In addition, information on the opening day stage greeting was also announced.
