The 30-second video, which celebrates the company’s 5th anniversary, features company mascots Trigger, Muzzle, and Spring. Trigger later took to Twitter to confirm that Teddyloid composed the music for the piece.

A Little Witch Academia TV series is currently in the works, though a specific première date is unknown. Netflix will stream the title in North America.

Trigger has also handled several work-for-hire projects, including the opening animation for Project X-Zone and the anime sequences in Fire Emblem Fates.
