 An original anime series titled BNA (Brand New Animal) was announced by animation studio Trigger at its Anime Expo panel on Friday. A key visual (pictured) was also previewed at the panel. The television anime will air on Fuji TV's +Ultra programming block in 2020.You Yoshinari—the original creator, director, and character designer for the Little Witch Academia anime franchise—is helming the production. Kazuki Nakashima, the veteran writer behind Kill la Kill and Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, will be in charge of the script. This marks the first time Yoshinari and Nakashima are collaborating. Yoshinari drew the character line art for the key visual. Canadian artist Genice Chan is credited for the background art and color design. Studio Trigger was established by directors Hiroyuki Imaishi, Masahiko Otsuka, and producer Kazuya Masumoto in 2011 after they left Gainax. As a part of the 2013 Anime Mirai project, Trigger produced the short film Little Witch Academia, which later inspired a second film in 2015 and a television anime in 2017. Trigger primarily produces original anime, beginning with Kill la Kill in 2013. The studio's first feature-length anime film, Promare, opened in Japan on May 24, earning a cumulative 731 million yen (approximately US$6.74 million) as of June 30.

| Cyberpunk Zootopia, let's goooooooooooooooooooo. |
| It can go either way... |
| this is probably the one trigger anime that isnt for me. i am not into the furry stuff. kinda disappointed specially with how great yoh is. hopefully they announce a second series today |
| Can't say no to Trigger originals, the visual looks cool too, and it's You, Imaishi's no.1 protégé. |
 |
| I was waiting for this announcement to be made here, and it’s finally here! Definitely going to check this out! Staff behind the show looks solid and compatible too, so hoping to see a dime! |
#Anime4Life be my Life Motto! #PrayForKyoAni  |
| Yoshinari is great, but I really am not a fan of Nakashima's writing and it almost guarantees to me the female characters will be written badly lol. |
| Trigger is back with its upcoming anime. The poster looks good. I feel excited now. |
| This pretty much confirms that Trigger is creatively bankrupt |
 |
| Key visual reminds me of Hotline Miami. I'm looking forward to this, it's Trigger, after all! |
 |
| Well, well, well, looks like Trigger is still creatively bankrupt. I do like that they're going for a cyberpunk aesthetic at least. |
| :3 |
| I'll hold expectations, Trigger hasn't exactly been batting great. |
 |
| Trigger has shit the bed so many times already, it's impossible to look forward to their new productions, let alone be excited. 8 years and nothing to show for itself. Former Gainax creator status can carry you only so far. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| Nakashima on the script makes it quite exciting news - he did it for Kill la Kill and TTGL, but without Imaishi's directing I don't know if his works can be quite that great, probably not. But You is pretty good and learned from him, so who knows. I definitely expect something at least decent. It's pretty sure to be better than Kiznaiver or the stupid cooperation with A1. |
 |
| kinda walking joke how it's rumored than they steal fire force idea, then now steal beastars. i hope it's stop as a joke. |

Little Witch Academia is pretty good okay |
Shirobako is AOTY 2015. Deal with it. |
| Good good. Nice neon colors, gimme synthwave please (^: |
 |
| YAS, NEW TRIGGER ANIIIMEEEEE!!!!!XV |
| Lmao anthropomorphic animals isn't anything new in anime. It's been around since the 60s and even further back in the early 1900s. |
Please learn about cel animation and its technical process. Learn how special effects and backlighting were done without computers. |
| Show isn't coming out for another year and all we have to go off of is one image, and people are already shitting on it lol. Sasuga MAL. |

Hatsuyuki said: This pretty much confirms that Trigger is creatively bankrupt You are not alone man.I think the same, Trigger went shit after Kill la Kill,they screwed Ninja Slayer with their Inferno Cop style animation.Promare or this will be last nail in the coffin before they go bankrupt. |
 |
| Is this gonna be a neon noir Anime? |
 |
| The character models look a lot like zootopia, though I do dig the neon aesthetic. Excited for another Yoshinari work after Little Witch was so AMAZING. Trigger can have some super expressive animation so I’m really hopeful for this new production as the character models look perfect for that style of animation. Furry stuff aside, I’m HYPED. |

| The hell with people going as if Trigger was going bankrupt after a single misstep with Promare ? Pretty glad they'll continue forward with their original shows, they've been really great in this department (Kill la Kill, Little Witch Academia, Kiznaiver,etc ...). (Darling in the Franxx is not one of them) Without mentionning the excellent underlook piece that is Gridman. Also, the more profuse presence of antropomorphic animals shouldn't make people stray away from these shows, especially when you have an award winning and excellent manga such as Beastars coming soon animated by the same studio as Land of the Lustrious. |

While you can instantly spot Imaishi's work because he, unlike the snk guy, actually has unique style, he's one of a kind. Araki does what? Just adaptations, and brings little from himself to these. He directed fucking guilty crown, lol. Anyway, whatever, I'm not doing any more bickering over whose favourites are better, but this 'no soul' argument leads to nothing, because it can't even be properly backed up, and is such a vague accusation it's just stupid to use.

Nick-Knight said: What does FranXX have to do with BNA?Furry in the FranXX. No thanks. |
| It's more of a A-1 anime, no?. AFAIK Trigger is only credited with animation production for episodes 2 to 14. Either way, people involved are much more important than the studio, basically every studio has some garbage in their works. And the 2 guys mentioned in the news have pretty much only great stuff in their portfolios |
|
It's a co-production between Trigger and A-1. With Trigger having little or nothing to do with the plot. Starting with DARLING in the FRANXX, Wakabayashi gave a quick postmortem on the project and Trigger's involvement. He continued to emphasize that Trigger was only part of the beginning planning, behind the core designs and the earlier half of the show with A-1 Pictures taking the larger heft of the responsibility. Wakabayashi added they received comments that the story was very “Trigger-like,” but said it was primarily from the director Atsushi Nishigori. “Everyone says it was Trigger's fault that it ended up in space, but that's not true!” |
| why wont these bitches give me a 2nd season of LWA |
 I don't watch as much anime as before... |

You just proved his/her point by typing a wall of pretentious moaning that no one would dare bother to even read. Quite the hoity toity anime connoisseur you must be, huh? |

| I'm of the opinion Trigger was ALWAYS rubbish. The more they produce the more I've come to think Gurren Lagann was just a fortunate accident, and I don't even think its that good. Kiznaiver could be blamed on Mari Okada but I doubt it would fare much better if left completely to Imaishi and Otsuka since they have a habit of reusing overused tropes and killing of their best plots/characters for bigger explosions. |

| I'm not saying that trigger right now is copying plots of popular manga or with a lot of reputation with announced adaptation a long time ago and now decide to make an anime with the same topic, but considering how condescending their fans, they believe: "trigger is the most original thing that exists, like Gainax and invented whole genres", I still see people who believe that Gainax invented the mecha with evangelion (because it is the only mecha they know) and because few people consult sources to confirm the truth. I think that in a certain way it is a psychological strategy so that people continue believing that they are the first in everything. |
