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.
I totally agree, also Promare seems to be more in aligned with previous Trigger works - from the little we have seen.

I don't have much of an opinion about the other two yet so I hope we'll get some more information soon.

BUT! Since it's Trigger, and I'm such a HUGE fan of their work, I'll probably watch all three of these original anime projects whenever they come out, so. :)

The Promare sounds like it'll be sheer badass. If its similar in style to TTGL and KLK, it cant be bad.
The Darling in the Frankxx seems the most interesting out of the three. Big collaboration, weird intriguing title, interesting OST, key visual gets your attention.
Never been a huge mecha fan, but if it's Trigger there will probably be hand drawn goodness, so will watch that too.

> Darling in the Frankxx: considerring they will be working with A-1 Pictures it can be either something amazing or the complete opposite, we will see.
> Gridman: the fact that is gonna be a original mecha sound good to me, but i have not watched anything Tsuburaya Productions had made in the past so i dont know what to really expect.
> Promare: out of the 3 is the one that i will be sure to keep a close eye out. Expecting something crazy since they claim to be on pair in terms of tone to Kill la Kill and Gurren Lagann. Plus that artsyle in the cover looks nice.

>not a good sign
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.
Co-producing is not outsourcing.
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.
