Trivia[]

  • The influences of Mighty Magiswords are The Shnookums and Meat Funny Cartoon Show, Animaniacs, Bob Clampett's Daffy Duck, Chuck Jones' Tom and Jerry, and Gravity Falls.
  • The show is often compared with Slayers to the point where Cartoon Network Japan aired the anime back to back with Magiswords in marathons. Creator Kyle Carrozza confirmed that while he did see some of the anime back in the day, it had little influence on the show's premise and designs and stated that the Warriors' designs were influenced from Chrono Trigger and Celes from Final Fantasy.
  • The shorts were animated in-house at the Cartoon Network Studios, while the series was outsourced to Malaysian animation studio Insipedia.
    • According to Kyle Carrozza, the decision for the show to be in Flash came when the show got the greenlight and was given the opportunity to use the newly staffed in-house Flash crew for the shorts. When the series was greenlit for TV episodes, he was offered to move past Flash animation but choose to stick with Flash due to it's versatility on making spur of the moment changes, making additional content and due to the complications of the Magiswords designs. Although he is interested in animation quality similar to TMS and Startoons' work on Animaniacs or Carbunkle Cartoons' work on Ren & Stimpy, he knows realistically that it won't be an option for him.
