10Cyberpunk: Edgerunners
2022, Directed by Hiroyuki Imaishi (10 episodes)
Enough ink has been spilled on their2022 magnum opus , which turn up that CD Projekt Red ’s sight of Night City was more than just a buggy wad , and that Trigger could do more than the fictive " wild and daft " , even if the animation still had its telling over - exaggeration . Cyberpunk’ssuccess was a sorely - needed shot in the arm for Trigger that repaired its reputation , after its last few works were considered acceptable but not peculiarly noteworthy . While its 10 episodes mean the plot move at a rapidfire pace , the Zanzibar copal still manages to hit a gratifyingly tragic final stage in its unforesightful runtime .

7BNA: Brand New Animal
2020, Directed by Yoh Yoshinari (12 episodes)
This anime stick to Michiru , who somehow transform into a " beastman " , forcing her to travel to Anima City and live alongside its humanlike citizens . Short and sweet , this is one of Trigger ’s more tame adventure . While its silly energy makes it fun to watch , and its comedy consistently lands , it miss the personal appeal Trigger ’s other anime have that makes them so timelessly memorable . By this point , Trigger ’s wackiness was becoming a niggling too familiar . withal , BNAis a short and odorous adventure that more than proves that the studio apartment will always have its horse sense of humor and playfulness .
6Promare
2019, Directed by Hiroyuki Imaishi (115 minutes)
Just to prove how preposterous Trigger can make anything , the studio chose to tot their common madcap touch to the concept of flame combat , with member of Burning Rescue battle the Burnish – man with pyrokinetic powers – with water supply - and - meth wielding mechhs . Thanks to its flick budget , Promareis able-bodied to achieve some truly outrageous and imaginative visuals , with Trigger making some clever enjoyment of computing equipment graphic to give all the torrid visuals various neon chromaticity . LGBTQ+ audiences also have a goody , with Lio and Galo ’s heat up rivalry - deform - partnership having enough quixotic subtext to not see it as an designed move by Trigger .
5Kiznaiver
2016, Directed by Hiroshi Kobayashi (12 episodes)
Kiznaiveris a tragicallyunderrated original gum anime producedby Studio Trigger that explores empathy , and the complex connection we make with the people around us . The taradiddle of a radical of student selected to become " Kiznaivers " who can divvy up each other ’s pain , often feels hampered in capital punishment by the many fiber ' interactions that seem skewed more towards romantic bother than anything else .
Despite that , Trigger ’s artwork is running on all cylinders here , with character details , background movement and even the eye showcasing the effort the studio put into all its workplace . On a more sombre note of hand , Kiznaiveris also notable in that its possible action strain is also the last work by the Nipponese electronic duo Boom Boom Satellites .
4SSSS.Gridman
2018, Directed by Akira Amemiya (12 episodes)
Trigger grow head when it announced it was launching a remake of the highly obscure tokusatsu seriesGridman the Hyper Agent . Despite seeming like a long dead reckoning , the series end up being a hit , albeit being a dim - suntan story , with its first one-half have an intentionally generic " monster - of - the - week " setup . As the plot develops and construction set about to run , Gridmanturns out to be a surprisingly devout story that concenter itself on the enigma behind its central scoundrel . Trigger ’s optimism and theatricality lend themselves well here , as the studio is able to essentially resuscitate a dormant IP back into fighting shape .
3SSSS.Dynazenon
2021, Directed by Akira Amemiya (12 episodes)
The continuation toSSSS.Gridmanis a worthy follow - up , though not nearly as well - implemented . While the admixture of character drama and behemoth - battling still holds true , the option to expand the range of it over a larger cast , all of whom have their own kinds of baggage , stretches the plot a little thing , not helped by a group of villain who are n’t near as memorable as inGridman ’s . Nonetheless , the two shows complement each other well and even lead into theGridman Universemovie that ties the scene together . Dynazenonis for fans who want plenty of onetime - fashioned transforming automaton action , à laGaoGaiGar .
2Little Witch Academia
2017 , Directed by Yoh Yoshinari ( 25 episodes ) , 2013 ( 30 instant OVA ) , 2015,The Enchanted Parade(55 minute of arc OVA )
Trigger ’s answer toHarry Potterhas had many renditions , though they all owe some mention to the 2013 short animation . All of them follow Atsuko ’s life in a magic school as she learns the ropes of being a witch with her friends . The original anime is a slick musical composition of brio filled with whimsy and comedy , while the TV series uses its lengthy runtime to create an on-going secret . Audiences will have to settle which variation of Luna Nova Academy beseem them , but it remains one of the more unique version of a wizard school to come out of Japan .
1Kill la Kill
2013, Directed by Hiroyuki Imaishi (24 episodes)
As Trigger ’s very first Zanzibar copal as an main studio , Kill la Killis synonymous with their preference for surfeit . Ryuko and Satsuki ’s rivalry amid a hyper - conventionalize , militarized schooltime dystopia offers laughs and detailed conflict fit at any give sentence . While audiences might be split on whether its nudity / clothing motif is carefully considered or just a way to excuse its raunchy mood , all of that , along with its insane storyline makesKill la Killis one of the most unique Zanzibar copal serial in recent history . It is probably the perfect litmus test trial as to how much Trigger a witness can take .
