Business
Studio Trigger was founded by former Gainax employee Hiroyuki Imaishi, following his success with Gurren Lagann (2007). This led to the creation of Studio Trigger, with Gurren Lagann's visual humor and style defining the studio's work, and Trigger being seen as a successor to Gainax.[2][3]
Studio Trigger was established on August 22, 2011,[4][5] by Hiroyuki Imaishi and Masahiko Ōtsuka[6] shortly after leaving Gainax.[7] The studio name and official website was revealed in October 2011.[8] Along with assisting production on various series, Trigger has released a short film, Little Witch Academia,[9] and has developed its first original anime television series, Kill la Kill, which aired from October 2013 to March 2014.[10][11] On July 8, 2013, Trigger launched a Kickstarter project in order to fund a second episode of Little Witch Academia. The project was well received and achieved its goal of $150,000 in under five hours, and went on to raise a total of $625,518.[12]
Studio Trigger, along with studios Sanzigen and Ordet, joined joint holding company Ultra Super Pictures.
In 2018, Studio Trigger created a Patreon with the goal of acquiring necessary funding for projects and merchandise. They offer both a US$1 and US$5 option for patrons (including a limited US$80 tier that ships a drawing to the patron) and currently have over near 5,000 backers on the platform, raising over US$5000 per month.[13] In 2023, it was announced that the rights to Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt and Gurren Lagann, two of Imaishi's previous work at Gainax, had fully reverted to Imaishi and Studio Trigger; a follow-up to the former was also announced.[14]
