| They gave me Inferno Cop and Ninja Slayer from Animation, how could I not like them? |
| The first LWA is masterpiece. The continuation and the TV adaption were OK. KLK was fun. Ninja Slayer was fun too. This is enough for me. |

| Definitely not my thing, since they're basically the resurrected Gainax which I hate. I mostly have zero interest in the majority of their shows, and I don't like their style of animation. Probably their only notable works that I've seen are Kill la Kill and Darling in the FranXX. |

| I can't stand the pacing in Gurren Lagan and Kill la Kill but at least GL had some interesting things that happened, I just couldn't stand klk. no interest in that franxxx shit but am planning to check out little witch academia eventually |
| Haven't really latched onto a lot of what Studio Trigger has done... but I am at least glad their output has been unique enough that it can stand out. Well, really, let's just say that Imaishi's hyper-kinetic art direction is very hit-or-miss for me... and it seems like Studio Trigger is a studio founded on these principles. Like, Panty & Stocking was such a breath of fresh air at the time, and it pushed this hyper-kinetic thing super hard and had a clear focus as being a trashy comedy, and I loved it for that. But then Inferno cop took things too far, and just became a huge parody of itself and was just a heaping pile of garbage... But then I compare that to Kill La Kill, which just seems wishy-washy and doesn't know whether it wants to be a parody of anime tropes or a serious story... Then I look at something like Little Witch Academia, and I'm on board again... the hyper-kineticness is toned down there (at least in the OVA and theatrical film, I haven't watched the TV series yet, but I imagine it's got a similar tone) but this works well for the type of story they're trying to tell, and the characters are all supremely well designed and written. So, yeah, for me Imaishi's work, and by extension, the work of Studio Trigger is always unique and interesting but just seems super inconsistent, and I think that's a shame. I'm sure fans would disagree with me, but I think what Imaishi really needs is to work with somebody, perhaps a writer or storyboarder, who can help ground his work and make it a bit more realistic... I think that would help strike a better balance in the overall style and tone of his shows, and that balance would make them more appealing, at least to me. |

| Oh there was a time when they were EASILY my favorite studio. I mean holy shit the first three major shows they produced were Kill La Kill, When Supernatural Battles Become Commonplace, and Little Witch Academia. That is one fucking hell of an opening for a studio; all three of those are some of the very few shows I've ever given a 10 and used to all be in my Top 10. Unfortunately the next three big projects following up those were Kiznaiver, Darling In The Franxx, and SSS Gridman which are just objectively worse shows and whilst each definitely has it's fans and can still be argued as great shows; there are now a lot more people who would disagree with you as opposed to the earlier three shows. I mean I still really liked them, but I TOTALLY understand why each of those could be seen as bad. Can't say I'm looking forward to Promare either. As for all the other anime they've produced (the shortform ones) they're all pretty lame (except for Lululuco which is fantastic and Ninja Slayer which was pretty decent). But despite their recent fall from grace I'd still definitely consider them one of my favorites if not still my all time favorite. I think for a ton of people if you exclude the tiny little mini-series they did; the average Trigger show score is like 9 which is insanely impressive. As opposed to most studios which usually just have a hit or two and that's it. And among the ones that have more hits it's usually because they've pumped out such a large amount of shows. |
| I hate Trigger's presence in the western anime community. Not because they're a bad studio, I love Kill la Kill, TTGL and Little Witch Academia, but some people keep praising almost every anime they ever make as "THIS ONE'S GONNA SAVE ANIME!!", which in turn makes people retort with "TRIGGER IS JUST OVERRATED GARBAGE". Why were we all so damn divided over Kill la Kill? It's like people couldn't judge Kill la Kill as an anime, but could only review it as the anime savior people labeled it as. Just like every other studio, Trigger makes anime which are sometimes good, and sometimes bad. I hate the fact that having the Trigger label already affects a show's rating before people even see it, regardless of whether it's for or against that specific show. |
 |
| They're Gainax 2.0 and suffer from the same crippling problems; can't end a show to save their lives. I dislike them in general aside from a few odd titles. |

| "The name's Gambit. Remember it." -Gambit "X-Men '97" |
| That they didn't bring to us even a single "Masterpiece". This is what I think. |
| I honestly don't think I've ever finished or seen a Trigger anime before. Kill La Kill is the only one I've tried to watch but I never finished it. (didn't like it at the time) Though I would like to give it another chance. So I guess I don't really care much about studio Trigger at all xd. |
| A 50/50 studio, they make something good like "Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann" and than they make shit. They make "kill la kill" and than they put Mako in it. They make "Darling in the Franxx" and now they fall a sleep again. Trigger wake the fuck up damn it. |
 |
| I think I need another season of Little Witch Academia. |
 |
| Kill la Kill is a highly praised anime, however I don't think it's nearly as good as people hype it up to be. Honestly if it wasn't for the amazing OST I would probably dislike it lol. I couldn't really get into Little Witch Academia. It's not bad, however its a bit too light hearted for my tastes. However, Gurren Lagann is a fucking masterpiece. I know it's by Gainax, but to my understanding, the animators who made Gurren Lagann split from Gainax and became Trigger, right? I honestly doubt any anime Trigger makes could ever top Gurren Lagann. |

| They make some good waifu. I'm not talking about Zero Two you tasteless plebs. |
| "aside from Kill la Kill it hasn't produced anything noteworthy ever since" If you think LWA is "mediocre at best" then I don't know what to say. |
 |
| As a fan of the genre I thought Gridman was superb but I’m aslos somewhat nostalgia blind and it plays to my tastes and impressions from my childhood while also sharing the themes my favorite artist (Hideaki Anno) likes to portray so I’m kind of not the kind of person to be too disappointed with it In terms of animation they’re great but in terms of story is where they falter most imo |
   I'll keep wishing for a world where you can be happy. |
| I have only watch Tengen Toppa and I think it was very very mediocre. Despite of that I want to watch Kill la Kill (I think it could be interesting) |
 |
| The psychology of a Trigger director When in doubt...ALIENS |
  |
| I think a lot of you guys are giving Trigger way too much credit for Darling in the Franxx. From what I've read and heard, they had much less involvement in its production than most seem to believe. I'd say it's quite obvious just by watching the show. Everything about Franxx represents the opposite of what Trigger generally stands for. Franxx may sorta look and sometimes feel like Trigger, but at its core, it's just an empty shell. It's basic, soulless, immature trite lacking passion and creativity. These are traits that are strongly connected to A-1. It's not a coincidence that Trigger's collaboration with them produced their worst work in their entire catalog. |

| I know a buddy who loves Studio trigger. i was turned off by them for a long time. I didn't like Kill la kill enough to call it a masterpiece. My opinion might have changed since I watched it a while ago and my tastes have changed. The show I like most was LWA which I'm currently watching which is entertaining. Darling in the Franxx suffered from the last episodes but it was handled by two other studios so idk what to say. I dropped Kiznaiver when it was airing. Will give it another go. InoBato was alright, nothing special. SSSS-Gridman was alright, again nothing special. I respect the studio a whole lot though. I give leniency towards them because of their originality in all aspects. After binging a lot of the same stuff, it makes watching stuff from trigger more fun I guess. |
| It triggers me... Haha..see what I did? I used the name of the studio as a play on words to that thing people say! |
| Same thing I think about most studios. Sometimes they make stuff I like,sometimes they don't. Sun rise, sun set. I definitely never thought they were some "savior" of anime though. |
| Leagues better than Mappa but just an average studio that gets a lot of high praise for the bygone days when it was known as Gainax. |
| Stay Home and Wash Your Hands. Protect Yourself. Protect Your Loved Ones. Protect Your Community and Help Defeat Coronavirus. |
| Remember when Studio Trigger became a meme and was thought to save the anime industry when Kill la Kill first came out? Good times lol. In the end, they're just like any other studio out there. Have some good and bad ones. I gotta give them credit for creating original anime though. Not every studio has the guts they have. |
 |
| I like 'em. My favourites would be basically there most known works such as Kill la Kill, LWA and Gurren Lagann ( which i count as trigger) Definitely looking forward to Promare! |
