Wakfu/Trivia
- Hey, It's That Voice!
- Ankama's French-language dub of Gurren Lagann shares most of Wakfu's voice cast. Yoko and Evangelyne share Geneviève Doang, and Cédric Dumond (the obnoxious announcer during the "Gobbowl Hell" arc) is also Kamina. Other notable ones are Nia/Amalia, Kittan/Nox, Viral/Xav, and Tylimph/Rubilax.
- The series also features some well-known voice actors. In the 3rd episode, Kabrok/The Black Raven is voiced by Richard Darbois, who is better known as the French voice of Harrison Ford and Batman in Batman the Animated Series (among many, many others).
- In the 23th episode, Drill is voiced by Pierre Hatet, who is better known as the French voice of Emmett Brown in Back to The Future and the Joker in Batman the Animated Series.
- You wouldn't notice it, but Rubilax's voice actor is also the French voice of Bugs Bunny and Garfield. In the same way, Ruel Stroud's voice actor is also the French voice of... Jack Bauer in Twenty Four!
- Grougaloragran's voice actor, Benoît Allemane, is also the French voice of Goliath in Gargoyles, Morgan Freeman, Foghorn Leghorn, Alex Louis Armstrong in Fullmetal Alchemist, and Tony the Tiger.
- Kriss Krass (the captain of the opposing team in the gobbowl arc) is voiced by Mathias Kozlowski, who also did the French voice for Tsubasa Oozora from the football anime Captain Tsubasa. The voice casting director said that it was not a coincidence that he thought about him first (but he still got the role because his voice matched the character).
- Remington Smisse is voiced by the same man who voiced his cousin Monde Smisse. Grany is voiced by Kriss Krasse's voice actor.
- Missing Episode: The artbook "Dofus - Les mains d'Eniripsa" presents the plot of an unseen episode, going as far as providing a full summary, character design, and even background design. The episode was about Yugo and friends trying to save a village from complete dryness. For some reason, the episode was scrapped and never produced. The only remaining bit is the title character, a charming Eniripsa called Mey d'Elongrot, who was present in the crowd as a cameo in episode 10.
- Screwed by the Network: The series has been aired somewhat erratically on the French television network, France 3, including more rediffusion than usual, changing time slots, and gaps of several months between new episodes (the last one being a two-and-a-half-month pause before the final three episodes). Viewers were not happy.
- Culminated with France 3 cutting the ending credits of the last episode, which actually depict what happened to Nox after his defeat.
- To be fair, most schedule gaps (but not the last one) were due to Ankama failing to meet production deadlines.
- Shrug of God: What's under Yugo's hat? Ankama has no bloody clue.
- The Unpronounceable: Well, not quite, but the voice actors have mentionned how much they enjoy having to include "Grougaloragran" in a sentence.
- Word of God: Yes, in season 2 Sadlygrove and Evangelyne are a couple and have a physical relationship. No, no need to fanwank about how and when Grovy had seen Eva naked, as mentioned is season 2 episode 8; it just happened off-screen. Nothing else to see, move along.
