| Excited for all the projects. Darling in the Frankxx might have the most interesting premise. Gridman might turn to be a bit meme from the director being inferno cop director Promare is going to have the craziest visuals |
| Whens inferno cop tho |
 I don't watch as much anime as before... |
| Let's see if one of them finally becomes the first Trigger anime I like. |
 |
| I remember hearing Imaishi has had a project in the works for a while. Stoked for Promare. |
✧ |
| Promare might be 2.5D/3DCG animation by the looks of its key visual but even if that is the case Imaishi can do some awesome 3DCG fight scenes looking at Black Rock Shooter TV that he is involve with too |
| Kill la Kill and Little Witch Academia are probably the only Trigger shows so far that I legitimately like, lets see if any of these will make that list. I'll be sure to really keep an eye on Promare, especially if it's tone is similar to TTGL's, which I love to death. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |

| HACKs! 🤢🤮 |
| Well, 4 years in a project ... or is great or will fail badly. |
PipeBoss said: 4 years because Imaishi kept throwing the script away lmfao. Well, 4 years in a project ... or is great or will fail badly. |
| Co-producing everything is not a good sign, they seem desperate. |
 |
| Ohhh boy! The visuals of Promare alone is already screaming of Imaishi. Hopefully that Gridman will be as good as Ninja Slayer. So excited of this Trigger shows! |
 |
| All I need to see is "Studio Trigger" to get hyped. I think Promare interests me the most of the three, though Darling in the Frankxx could be great (especially with the A-1 Productions team-up). |

Watch this, please: Anyway, I'm kinda hoping all projects would be awesome. I kinda trust in Trigger originals, so... Let's see what we'll get. XD |

Also not everyone cares about watching something with an intricate plot. Really wish people would form their own opinions about shows instead of just regurgitating digibro's. Digibro is a man that likes "cute girls doing cute things". Don't take advice from him. |

ichii_1 said: Co-producing everything is not a good sign, they seem desperate. The XFLAG one probably doesn't mean much to the anime 'cause, as far as I know, that is only a mobile game company, so it's probably to make a cross media effort. The Tsuburaya one is because is an anime based on a tokusatsu made by them, so the involvement makes sense and it can be really tangential. Now the one with A-1 Pictures is the one who really is a co-production between two animation studios so we have to wait and see. |

I really disagree with many things he says, but in this video he seems totally right to me. And oh yeah, I just think A-1 is an unreliable studio... You should check out who is in charge and prey for their mental state don't get too damaged by stress... I'll post other videos of other guys just for the sake of information. But I admit that there's a lot more behind it, like that is told there: mehmehperson said: xSlysoft said: Just because a studio makes some bad shows doesn't mean much.

I'm not saying he's not wrong about A-1, you were just making it seem like this show was guaranteed to be bad because it's colab with A-1. |
ichii_1 said: >not a good sign Co-producing everything is not a good sign, they seem desperate. Looks like they are adopting the same tactics from Gainax days. NGE was co-produced with Tatsunoko Production, EoE and FLCL with Production IG, Kareshi Kanojo no Jijou with JC Staff, early 2000s a couple work with SHAFT. Stop making up things like co-producing = bad. Especially when 99% of the industry outsources anyways. |
| Would have been highly excited for Promare if this was 2010, but after the disappointing mixed bag that is Kill la Kill, I can't help but be highly skeptical of another Imaishi and Nakashima production. Hopefully, Gurren Lagann doesn't turn out to be their only great series. |
| Excited. Hopefully it will be better than the mess that was little witch academia and kiznaiver, tho. Still its bound to have unique and creative animation and designs and that is something anime industry really needs. |

It lowers their profit since they have to share with even more producers than the regular amount. Trigger was shilling LWA hard too, practically begging people to support it if they want more. |

| 3 new Trigger shows? How did Trigger get a lot of money? |
| Do you play Azure Lane? Then please join my fanclub https://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=74907 |
| The one from the list I'm most excited about is Promare. Seems like a potentially exciting show and considering they spent 4 years producing it, I do expect something of higher quality than the other two projects. I'm hoping they reveal the PV for Darling in the Frankxx soon. |

| Well it's Trigger ... let's see if they can make an above-average anime again. It's already been some time since the last one (Kill La Kill). Funny that no one said "Trigger saves anime" yet. :D (Maybe people realized that the studio is not that great.) I might check out the shows. Depends on the plot to be expected. (Waiting for more infos and description in the future.) But I have very low expectations. Heard Gridman was related to some Tonkusatsu show. So it might be targeted only at a special audience that likes that stuff. (I think such stuff is boring.) The other 2 could get interesting. (A1 involved for the one and people that worked on Kill La Kill for the other.) |
| When Trigger announced they were going to reveal multiple projects at AX, I was hoping and praying for a new Imaishi x Nakashima joint since TTGL and KLK are both masterpieces imo... and here we are with Promare! It's got a lot to live up to. |
| Fuck this shit I'm so excited Especially for Promare |
| It's nice. Reminds me of Gainax last days of glory... The only part in the announcement that sounds bad is the "we're doing a new original project who'll be like X thing we did before". This sounds more like the kind of thing "desperate" people would say instead of trying something different from before. Imagine if Gainax had decided they should only make Eva-like shows after 1997. edit: by the way, Gainax will also exploit a western convention to promote a new anime project (and seek investors). In a few weeks at Paris. http://gainax.fr/page.php?id=546 |

"shilling" you sound like one of those edgy teens who can't understand how business works. sure, they should just make an anime every 10 years and starve to death so they can keep their "artistic integrity" in front of some self entitled millenial. |

| Mild excitement. I can't really expect anything great. |

| Im waiting for Darling in the Frankxx. Why don't we get a Trigger x Shaft coproduction? That's bound to be crazy :D |

And AnoHana, So ra Wo to, Tsuritama... It seems there are few "good titles" among the cheap ones, so I still can't live up my expectations... But yeah, I need to watch these yet... About Trigger, yeah, it's a matter of tastes, but I genuinely like and enjoy Trigger original works that follows their Gainax ex-staff steps... They show to the industry some inconvenient truth with passion and intensity. It's what I love most about them. |
| Looking damm interesting here, I like Trigger projects and TTGL is my personal favorite anime, so nice to see the studio doing some original material. |
 |
| This is why I like Trigger. The only studio that has the balls to predominantly make original anime and not mooch off of other mediums. |
| TRIGGER back at it again with the the originals... God I love them for that. The third one seems most Interesting, staff included. Bring on the plot twists!!! |
| damn, the forums these days... |
