Happy New Years!

I hope everyone enjoyed the Holidays! With our creators slowly recovering from their days off, we will putting our full effort into the production of PROMARE.

Today I wanted to discuss some of our goals with our community and hopefully receive some inputs as well!

Since we're finally able to successfully withdrawl our balance to our bank account, I believe it is now safe to openly promote our Patreon page to the public. I hope to negotiate with our executive to have our Patreon link openly available on our Home page and other social media platform. Hopefully with a larger audience, we'll have more flexibility with our project! (such as more titles to choose from in our live drawings)

I also believe we're ready to further explore on other possibilities with our project... Perhaps a new community goal if there's interest.

We currently distribute our balance through the means of live drawing and Shikishi(autograph boards), and we've been receiving quite the unexpected amount of decent illustrations.
I thought it would be interesting to make a digital artbook out of these shikishi and have them available for a one time purchase. We of course will continue to provide the scans of the shikishi publicly, but perhaps some of our supporters are interested in a high resolution, cleaned up archive of these illustrations.

I've prepared a poll below since I want to keep this a community driven project, so it'd be great if you can let us know how you feel about this!

Actually i wont mind buying a printed version artbook if time & manpower allowed. Anyway glad to hear about this.

I think digital is one thing, but we all love physical things we can collect. Like a printed artbook, original shikishi and so on. I wouldn't mind spending more money for this.

Please go for it! :)

how about a little webseries where creatives from the patreons can participate? something with more easy animations like inferno cop. in other words a cooperation with your supporters this would be the next step after "our" success with lwa. I would deliver a concept :-)

Happy New Year, Trigger! I wish you good luck with the production of Promare, and I hope it goes too well. By the way, I hope you can visit Argentina for Argentina Comic Con because it would be so nice to meet you there.

It would be interesting to get to know some of the staff from trigger outside of livestream Q&As. Although sometimes the questions are great, often many of the questions are repeated during each Q&A. I think it would be cool to see small interviews with staff members to get to know them as a person (hobbies, what their life has been like, interests, funny stories, etc), especially if they are talking to someone they are more comfortable and relaxed with!

I would like to be able to give some money specifically as an appreciation for one of your titles with nothing in return. Ex $20 for luluco $60 for kill la kill etc... I can stream these but I want to give more money than a subscription and don't want BDs that take up shelf space. I would like to support your main business of anime.

Similarly to what TAHKO said. I would love some pre-recorded interviews with staff members. That way we can reduce repetitous questions and make it easier for them to answer our questions, as they can plan them out first. It doesn't need high production value, a simple recording with some subtitles on would be more than enough. I feel that it's very difficult to get questions across on the streams, as only some people gets chosen from the pool, and some questions are much more interesting than others.

It would be great if this all works out to have like an annual art book from the live drawings. I would gladly shell out a few bucks for a physical copy. Either way, love the work so far.

I want more behind the scenes, staff interviews and maybe some sort of similar thing to the making of docs but short and more like a YouTube video. I am interested in how the studio works and even what other people at the studio are doing besides animators

Anonymous

A shikishi art book would be great it will be perfect if we could have some art from live drawing or some exclusive content ^^

Anonymous

Behind the scenes videos would be great as well! I would love to see what the studio looks like with a studio tour, or maybe film what a day of work is like at TRIGGER.

As much as I love seeing the shikishis (thanks to all the amazing artists taking time to draw them!), in my personal opinion I'd prefer the money to go to Trigger's animation projects. I actually don't expect to have any rewards, I just want to support the creation.

I too would love too have them as printed version in form of an artbook or even better actually hold on of the Shikishi's but i guess thats more wishful thinking ^^ I do love artbooks and do even collect keyfram artbooks which are rather hard to come by. But nothing beats actually watching the mastery of a real live drawing which makes this patreon so great. It even raises the appreciation for the work you publish as a studio :)

I agree that collecting physical things. It’s a little more satisfying having that artbook in your hands :).

Anonymous

I'd be fine with a one-time purchase for a book of Shikishiki but I'd prefer that there be a monthly option to obtain them digitally too. Like a $7-$10 tier that includes high resolution Shikishiki.

Anonymous

Sure, but I do wonder if you guys plan to show Promare in North America via Funimation Films or some other company.

Anonymous

I definitely agree with everyone who mentioned a printed physical version of an artbook. I'd love that. interviews are awesome as well.

Hoodlum

Bigger oppai for Aina Ardebit please 🤤. She is my new waifu. Also I don't mind that Promare looks like Kamina as long as you can illustrate a good and completely different story from Gurren Lagann. I will also buy a movie ticket if Wakabayashi wants to make Promare into a movie.

It'll be great to have an annual digital book for people who want a cleaner presentation. The idea of interviews is a good one and I hope you guys start to promote the Patreon to a wider audience.

Anonymous

I'd even pay like 4000¥ or maybe more for a physical version of the artbook.

I think digital artbook is nice, but personally would love to have small videos on process that goes on at that studio. Like how you come up with new ideas for episodes or character designs, or highlighting staff members.

GentleFan

I don’t mind the idea of a digital artbook, but I think we all love hearing about the behind the scenes creation of our favorite shows. For example, an interview with Kazuki Nakashima where he goes in detail about how the story of Kill la Kill evolved over time.

Anonymous

Not against it, but I would really like more artist drawings, all my favorite TRIGGER shows are over, so the only way I can see more of my favorite shows is through artist drawings. Sucy & Diana have to win eventually!

The art book will not be free, so it should make more money for Trigger.

Anonymous

Interviews and behind the scenes stuff would be great, as other people have said. At AnimeExpo 2015, there was a ‘Kill La Kill bloopers’ video at the voice cast pannel. Something like that every so often would be fun if it can be done. I don’t think that you’d actually even need the original VAs if you couldn’t get them, do it with your own in-house staff (with subtitles obviously). Sometimes, amateur voice acting can make something like that even funnier.

Please have screenings of Promare in New York City

Who wouldn't be interested? DO IT

I would like to see pencil test.

Galactakiller

I don't mind. it's great pieces of art so :3

Anonymous

Personally, I'd like a shikishi book, but after that it would be nice to focus on other stuff: like what if each artist drew a panel for a comic, working off what the people before them drew, and so through patreon trigger created a fun oneshot about the trigger girls or andrew and akko's first date or something entirely new.

Anonymous

I would be willing to pay for a higher tier around 7-10 dollars if it meant being entered into a raffle to possibly receive a physical Shikishi on a postcard or something. I understand this might not be possible currently, but in the future it would be neat.

Anonymous

I would love to see one of the animators show thier approach in how they animate a scene. If not, maybe sharing concept art form Trigger shows as a reward tier?

Anonymous

The idea of a digital artbook is really cool, but I think it would be even better if you could include a little bit more contents in the book instead of just pictures. For example, maybe some short comments or random chats by the creators of the Shikishi. They don't need to be long nor formal, just some "prattle" would make the book more interesting.

Seeing scrapped drawings (along with an explanation of why it was considered and ultimately rejected) would be nice. I always wondered how a design came to be.

Anonymous

I want a digital artbook, but not of the shikishi. I always loved to take a look at Image Board of any Anime. That's definitely something I would want to see because not alot of anime have that in their artbooks. I've only seen the ones from Gurren Lagann and Owari no Seraph.

Anonymous

Doing a documentary for your future anime like Promare would be cool. I love the one you had for Little Witch Academia. Seeing You Yoshinari educating the staff on throwing animation was informative

Anonymous

Do you know when you're planning to do the next twitch stream?

Anonymous

Would you mention to the staff that it's _patrons_ showing their support, and not patreon, the company? The art is nice, but i have to shrug and smile for every shikishi thanking "patreon". All the best to you.

Anonymous

I'll probably like behind the scenes stuff about the actual animations

Anonymous

I dont mind either way. Having an artbook is nice but i woud also like to see some new stuff as well. Maybe something totally crazy.

Anonymous

The Shikishi are great! I would love to see some animations, processes and behind the scenes work too. I also like the idea of maybe an online mini series.

Cybuster

I'd personally love to see behind the scene stuff like model sheets and maybe solutions to difficult/popular animation segments.

This question might have been asked already, but I was very interested to know if Trigger would be happy to receive fanart from their Patreons. Maybe even have a contest were you could choose some honorable mentions to be featured on your Patreon website, and a special Shikishi as a prize!
