Wakfu is a French animated television series produced by Ankama Animation, based on the video game Wakfu. The first season of 26 episodes began airing on 30 October 2008, and new episodes would continue to air into January 2010 on France 3. The show is animated with Adobe Flash software; all the production is done in France except the special episodes "Noximilien l'Horloger" and "Ogrest, la Légende", both produced in Japan. The series is directed by Anthony "Tot" Roux, and character design is directed by Xavier "Xa" Houssin and Kim "Tcho" Etinoff.

On May 7, 2020, Ankama announced that season 4 would premiere in early 2024, intended as the final chapter of the story, and a Kickstarter campaign to fund its production was launched on June 8, 2020. Season 4 was released on February 9, 2024.

On February 5, 2025, Ankama announced that a season 5 is in the works with its production being funded by a Kickstarter campaign.

Dubbing History

There had been several attempts to dub the series into English, with several test dubs being produced. In 2009, the first two episodes were shown for the very first time in English at the London MCM Expo, this dub features a cast of Paris-based voice actors. In 2011, a dubbed version of episode 9 was shown at Anime Expo, this dub was recorded in Calgary, Canada presumably at Blue Water Studios. At least 5 episodes of the series were dubbed with the Calgary voice cast according to Chinook Animation's portfolio. Calgary-based voice actors, Lucas Gilbertson and Doug de Nance, have also officially confirmed their involvement in the series.

Dubbed versions of episodes 8 and 28 were originally available to watch on Planet Nemo Animation's website back in late 2013, this was an attempt to shop the series around in the hopes of an American network picking it up. Not much is known about this dub as these episodes have long since been removed and don't appear to have been archived anywhere.

In early 2014, Ankama launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund an official English dub for the series, the campaign reached $483,524 out of an $80,000 goal. The dub was recorded in the UK at Flix Facilities, Ltd. The dub cast mostly consists of British voice actors as well as a few North American expats. This dub covered nearly everything in the series, including the Specials, OVAs, Shorts and even the spin-off series Dofus: Kerub's Bazaar. In mid-2014, Netflix bought the distribution rights to the series; they released the first season on their platform in September of that year which marked the official debut of the dub. The dub would also air on Toonami in Southeast Asia and on Cartoon Network in Australia.

Netflix produced the dub to Season 3 themselves, a season which they also helped co-produce. The season was released on their platform in April 2018. This dub switches to an entirely new voice cast based in Los Angeles. This dub strongly differs from the previous one, having different pronunciations for certain names or words and many vocal performances sounding radically different than the previous cast.

Season 4 would be dubbed without the involvement of Netflix, as such the voice cast would once again be replaced with a lesser-known talent pool based in Miami, Florida. Some of the Season 3 voices were however used as reference for the new cast's performances. The dub is currently available via the Ankama Launcher, as well as on the French Blu-ray release for Season 4.

Notes

• Percedal and Evangelyne were initially voiced by Benjamin Diskin and Cassandra Lee Morris respectively in Ankama's Kickstarter trailer.
• Matthew Géczy is miscredited as Rubilax in the Paris test dub.
• The test dub of episode 2 still credits Marc Cassot in his role as Soft Oak, despite being re-dubbed by another voice actor.
• The voice actors for a majority of characters aren't really clear since the dub credits would often just credit the main cast leaving several voice actors uncredited.
  • Fiona Clarke, Taylor Clarke-Hill, Julie-Ann Dean, and Joe Mills would also be credited as Secondaries, even in episodes they didn't even voice in.
• A majority of the voice cast in the first two seasons are actually British accented voice actors attempting American accents.
• Despite Grufon being re-named Skribble in the dub, the credits still list him by the original name.
• Arthur Bostrom and Ross Grant are often miscredited as Skribble and Grany respectively.
• Anathar's voice is very inconsistent in the dub, Joe Mills even doing three different kinds of voices for the character.
• There are instances in the dub where nameless extras would switch out voice actors, sometimes in the same episode and even the same scene.
• Renate is mistakenly referred to as Canar in episode 19 during the two character's introductory scene.
• In the dub of Season 4, the Brakmar Prince is changed from male to female and is referred to as the Queen of Brakmar. Despite the character being depicted as male prior.
• Although Cleophee was re-named Cleome in the initial dubbing of Season 2, when she's named dropped during Season 4 the dub instead retains the original French name.
• Armand is referred to as Armant during the Season 4 dub.
• The entire series is currently available on the Ankama Launcher, with the exception of Season 3 likely due to licensing issues with Netflix.
