How long does it usually take to draw one frame and how are the drawings kept so consistent with different people drawing them?

Who is your favourite JoJo character?

The new Poremare Movie seems to be using a lot of CGI, but still has somewhat of an Anime feel. Did you take inspiration from Arc System Works for the art style since they're working on a Kill La Kill game?

How is TRIGGER involved in the development of KILL la KILL The Game?And how did the project started?

Do you all do anything special to make new animators feel at home at Studio Trigger?

I’m so excited for the stream! Thank you all for taking the time in making us feel part of the community. :D I was wondering about how long does it usually take to figure out the final concept for each character? I’m sure there are probably hundreds of sketches for each. The entire process really just fascinates me!:D See you guys during the stream! Thank you~

How are the figures made? Do you reach out to good smile or other companies to make them or is it the other way around. Just wondering if a Ryuko figma would be made in her street clothing

Can we expect a global theater release for PROMARE? If so around when can we expect it?

Do you study the key frames of the experienced TRIGGER animators in order to improve?

So, how much power do producers have on a show? Like, often times I see that there were decisions made by writers, others by directors and others by producers. Writers and Directors I kind of understand, but if producers have too much power, wouldn't that make them straight up directors too?

Do you think you will use 3d animation for your future production ? And do you have any advice for a 3d animator who want to do 2d animation :p ?

What is the typical production process for an anime series in Japan?

Sakurai-san, what is it like being a Douga-man? Is it a lot work? In a typical half-hour episode, how many frames/cuts do you have to draw? I submit anime staff credits to Anime News Network's encyclopedia as a hobby, and I discovered your name was not in the database (at least not credited). 宜しくお願い致します。

Ever considered putting out a digital artbook here? Why can't you guys draw gridman characters in the live drawing? Love the show

Anonymous

They actually use 3d animation regularly, on Kill la Kill they used it in many shots and in gridman was even more notorious just for saying some examples

Probably I won't get an answer but, I noticed that you guys are building a shared universe betwen your series, is there any plans of a big crossover going to happend in the future?

Is htere anything you are not good at drawing or do not like to draw like non-humain creatures like for example dragons?

Original question by Thorn14: Are there seasons (Winter/Spring/Summer/Fall) that are easier or harder on anime studios? Is Spring more laid back so it allows for interviews for example? What about Summer? And so on...

How has working on Indivisible RPG been for you guys?

A Fine Egg

For Mr. Wakabayashi, at Anime Expo 2018 you mentioned that if you could work on any kind of project along with Imaishi you would want to do something in the same vein as Panty and Stocking. I personally am also incredibly interested in seeing more hyper-sexual/hyper-violent works from you two, so I need to ask, has there been any discussion about it further than the mention at Anime Expo?

I think the shared universe is just a fan thing. If anything Luluco is the crossover between them, where each show exists as a different planet.

Do you guys have any thoughts on how the foreign audience for anime has grown in the last few years? Trigger is the first Japanese studio to do this level of outreach with its Patreon, so I was just wondering what your perspectives are with regards to this shift. How does your perspective compare or differ with other studios and producers in the industry? Thanks for reading 👍

Why isn't there more Sucy Manbavaran?

What inspires you guys to produce original anime? Unlike other studio, I feel Trigger has more freedom when producing content. Is it true?

Anonymous

Has there ever been talk about making a Kill la Kill movie? Maybe a remake like how it was done for Gurren Lagann.

What do I need to have to work on the studio trigger?

Tweeners is the most interesting job! So excited to have an animation in-betweener doing this! The real heroes in anime! How did you get into the job? What about it do you find interesting? Would you prefer to have a different role in the animation production process?

If you could meet post-ep25 Satsuki in real life, what's one thing you would want to tell her?

Anonymous

When doing in-between-animations, I imagine it to be quite hard to keep the different character designs consistent throughout the whole show. Because of that I was curious if there are any special tricks or techniques you're doing to get used to draw individual characters? Maybe drawing them over and over again for example? Do you spend a lot of time training to draw characters?

What are your favourite drawing exercises that helped you the most getting better?

Hey the stream will be held on Chariot/Ursula-sensei’s B-day! Can we do a Birthday shoutout for her?

I live I tokyo and want to apply at trigger when I think my Japanese is good enough. My goal is to start off as a production assistant and try to work up to an episode director. Would trigger or other studios want to see a portfolio if I wanted to be an enshitsu even if I’m only applying as a PA?

Anonymous

aside from companies web sites where else can I find job postings for production assistant type of jobs. Is there any type of industry recruitment events?

studio_trigger QUESTION what are the requirements to join trigger and what sort of training is required once you've joined trigger?

Galactakiller

I want to know if other games from your anime list would receive a game. We have Little Witch, Kill la Kill this year (normally) ... but will we have a chance to see a Darling in the FRANXX or a Gurren Lagann game ?
