What anime do you think is the best anime Trigger could roll out. Trigger is a unique studio with a distinctive animation trait. They mostly make anime originals which has spoken out to many anime fans. I count the full fledged anime, thus i leave out commercials and game animations

Think of things like:
- animation
- story
- art
- originality
- best girl

I can enjoy their nonsensical color full aesthetic anime. They often have much energy and thrilling moments. Studio Trigger is a studio i would like to see more of and im exited for the cyberpunk anime.

Edit: yes i know that TTGL was made under Gainax, but a lot of Trigger staff worked on it. The same with Panty and Stocking. They were both directed by Hiroyuki Imaishi

I agree Trigger is a great studio, but I'm not quite sure if some of the anime you've listed are actually Studio Trigger. For example, I think TTGL and Panty&Stocking are Gainax (Trigger is technically the next Gainax to be fair).

Inou-Battle wa Nichijou I rated it a 6 which is the highest score I gave to a Trigger anime.

Inferno Cop is a perfect 10. And Inferno Cop himself is the best girl to ever have graced our screens.

Remove Gurren Lagann that was made by Gainax or this poll won't be fair

Edit: Panty & Stocking too

Watched some of theirs, the best is Gurren Lagann, Kill la Kill is extremely good and SSSS. Gridman is underrated.

Gridman is brilliant, one of the smartest directing that I have seen in anime
If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time.

Watch more movies, please.

Perhaps, this is hell.

Tengen Toppen Gurren Lagann was made by GAINAX, not Trigger

And Little Witch Academia >>>>> the rest

I voted for inferno cop, because there was no option for the 1st LWA ova.
the 1st LWA ova they made is a blessing.

I know full well it isn't the best anime from Trigger in terms of quality, but I'm going to vote for Inou-Battle wa Nichijou-kei no Nake de because it's my favorite and you can't stop me.

And Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt was made in 2010, acting as the last hurrah of Imaishi and crew before they split off to form Trigger.

So that means the one true accurate answer to this poll is Kill la Kill.

This glorious signature image was created by @Mayumi!

I am the Arbiter of Absolute Truth, and here is my wisdom:

"Anime was always influenced by the West. This is not news.
Shoujo is the superior genre primarily aimed at young people.
Harem/isekai are lazy genres that refuse any meaningful innovation.
There is no 'Golden Age.' There will always be top-shelf anime.
You should be watching Carole & Tuesday."

I've only seen Gurren Lagann, Kill la Kill and Panty & Stocking. I thought two of those were outright bad and one was decent.
So, have to say Gurren Lagann by default.

On one hand, I like how OP put Gurren Lagann and Panty & Stocking in the poll, because I also consider them as Trigger shows even though they are officially from Gainax. But on the other hand, they are pre-2011 shows, so they don't count.

To me, Kill La Kill is the best anime of Trigger. It has a unique storyline and the characters are very enjoyable as well as entertaining.

I'd have to say Kill La Kill followed by Gurren Lagann. Trigger has been disappointing for me as a massive fan of Gainax. I'll admit I haven't seen everything from Trigger. But aside from Kill la Kill, I can't say I've been remotely impressed.

Kiznaiver was so atrocious I didn't even make it one minute in before dropping it. But to be fair, that's Mari Okada, and she cannot write worth a damn. So it's no surprise why Kiznaiver is bad.

Promare was an okay movie, some good spectacle but it was bogged down with a story that just had no right being there, uninteresting characters, hamfisted themes, pacing that kept flip-flopping between rather it was good or not, a blatant rip-off of Kamina, Promare felt like Imaishi Phoning it in & trying to replicate his success with TTGL. Before anyone says anything, no. I wasn't expecting Promare to be TTGL levels of quality. But as a final product, I can't say I enjoyed Promare enough to where I would call it "good".

Or instead of changing the poll, add the title "Whats the best title by Imaishi and crew".

For Gainax I vote for Panty and Stocking and also Cutey Honey OVA.
For Trigger I vote for LWA OVA and Inferno Cop. I'd have voted for KLK too but regarding the plot they took a lot from the manga Cloth Road.

I think Promare is brutally underrated cause it's a movie and not a series. It looks gorgeous and has my all time favorite OST of any anime show.

Well since I have only 3 seen anime from this Studio and 1 dropped then between Kiznaiver and Darling in the Franxx I vote for Darling in the Franxx even if it isn't that great anime in general but if only from this studio then yes.

Gainax: So, I made this anime and I'm really proud of it. I'm gonna call it T...

Trigger: Hippity hoppity your anime is my property.

Jokes aside, Kill la Kill is the best and biggest show in that list but space patrol Luluco was also amazing, so much power and fun for triggers fans squished in a tiny and fast paced adventure, it deserves more love.
heh.
