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.

First beastars and now this? Looks like Japan finally acknowledge furries in their anime lol. For real though I’m pretty excited for this. |

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! |

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. |

Key visual reminds me of Hotline Miami. I'm looking forward to this, it's Trigger, after all! |

Looks interesting to be honest. I'm not as into furry stuff as an average furry fan would be (though I still love Twokinds), but I have been waiting for something like that. Anime and furries can easily work together, hope this one will be good. |

Well, well, well, looks like Trigger is still creatively bankrupt. I do like that they're going for a cyberpunk aesthetic at least. |

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. |

I don't get the entire ''furry'' backlash. Anthropomorphic animals have been existing in animated medium for a long ass time. Is Kung fu panda or Madagascar furry too now?. Any ways this looks cool, the aesthetics i mean; i am a sucker for sci-fi/cyberpunk settings. |

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. |

Looks interesting and the poster is visually pleasing. I don't really mind if the characters will be furry, I'm more interested with the story specially because it's going to be cyberpunk. |

Lol,theres even animal pun brand advs ala Zootopia Kuma said: 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. I don't thinks it specifically copying Beastars rather they want Zootopia audiences. Zootopia is a big thing in Japan you know,far bigger than Beastars. |

Lmao anthropomorphic animals isn't anything new in anime. It's been around since the 60s and even further back in the early 1900s. |

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. |

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!” |

Well this thread is... mega o o f to say the least. To be quite frank we don't know how things will go for this series but the bold idea of "Trigger is creatively going bankrupt" uh... you do realize that these are taken at face value, correct? And even if people were correct, it's still going to be at face value (at least as of writing this) since we ain't sure how this will be seen as. And with the creativity put into play... well, execution matters the most. I can get that the concept isn't for everyone especially for those that aren't into furries (I'm friends with some of them, but I'm not a furry myself), but I feel like people are just massively shooting for bullets. Not trying to be mean here in the thread, but I feel rather awkward with the statements being made here. |

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. |
