Among many races appearing in the series, some had their names created by reading backwards certain words: Cra (a race of archers) read backwards is "arc", Enutrof (a race of treasure hunters knows for their greed) read backwards is "fortune", Eniripsa (a race of healers) read backwards is "Aspirine", and Xelor (a race of time manipulating wizards) read backwards is "Rolex".
The show's English dub was funded via a Kickstarter campaign. Ankama, the company behind Wakfu, asked for CA $80,000. By the end of the campaign, they've raised CA $483,524.
The first two seasons were dubbed with a voice cast based in the UK while the third season was dubbed with a Los Angeles based cast.
The show was supposed to launch with an MMORPG of the same name. However, the game was delayed and wasn't released until 2012, when the show was well into it's second season.
