Trash Taste's Real Opinions on Studio TRIGGER

[@defaultoperation7986]

Studio TRIGGER would be the perfect studio to do an anime adaptation to Jet Set Radio or Crazy Taxi.

[@hexmaniacindigo]

A massive wave of nostalgia just hit me with you mentioning jet set radio. Heck the more I think about it, the more I want an anime for it. Also yeah trigger would be perfect

It seems like nobody remembers Little Witch Academia as a studio TRIGGER's anime (myself included) just because of now "non-trigger" the anime feels. Arguably my favorite TRIGGER's shows just because of how magical the anime feels to me.

But that doesn't necessarily mean their stories are also just as good. Promare was great fun but you don't watch that for an amazing story, it was just a cool film to watch.. Same deal with most of their other works. And unpredictable? They love to throw in a Deus Ex Machina to fix an unstable plot point, usually involving Robots, Space or Aliens. Heck, Edge Runners even ends up in space Just because it's Original, doesn't necessarily mean it be will good, Brand New Animal, for example had a fun and interesting premise, the animation was fine but the story went nowhere. Or go try Inferno Cop instead, for some truly "amazing" animation. Look, I still look forward to them because I know how good they are. I just expect them to do as good as they always have and to continue making a "decent burger".

[@LarryJ602]

I think Trigger's biggest issue is having a story that peaks at the middle of the show, then just goes off the rails. The characters are good, the conflicts are good, the dynamics between protagonist are good. But they just get all weird and crazy with the ending to the point of not making sense capped with tragedy and loss. Which is why I think CyberPunk ER worked as well as it did. They could only do so much in that space, it had to work in the world of CyberPunk.

SSSS.GRIDMAN was lowkey one of my most memorable anime in recent years, the ending threw me for a loop, but it was the fact that it built up to it, that there were clues throughout the story, and the question looming of whether or not these massive kaiju battles truly matter due to the city resetting but the memories of those lost being wiped out. The feeling of euphoria when that final moment hit and it all came to a realization this was just an escape, that is was someone copeing with their lives, and finding control in the only world they could. Yeah yeah, "it was all a dream", but the way it was handled, and the fact that there were breadcrumbs that looking back now if you rewatch it, you can see how everything was setup and built up from the ground, it didn't feel like the classic "OTT Trigger Ending". Yeah, it wasn't "for everyone", I'd definitely say, but there was something sincere about it, and the respect they paid to the series with not only fanservice but homage to the classics showed this wasn't "just another project".

As a manga fan in defense of MHA, we were hyping up season 5 for a good reason and that's because My Villain Academia was a legitimately really good arc, but then for whatever reason, either the movie or from what i hear Japanese fans don't like villain arcs, the anime rushed the hell out of it while dragging out the other two arcs that season. Which is a shame because it's a pretty important arc and I think it took away the hype even more, though at least the current season has been good so far

[@joedorben3504]

MVA was decent, still overhyped even in the manga. But season 5 also was gonna start with that garbage ass Class A vs Class B arc so hyping that up for the first half season to suck was dumb anyway. But they did adapt it terribly.

[@michaeldeguzman3852]

i also just really hate in general how people judge anime based on the studio name plastered onto it instead of actually looking at the staff. the only directors most watchers really know are like masaaki yuasa, hayao miyazaki, and satoshi kon. MAYBE naoko yamada. like studios aren't a generate anime machine they have actual people working on them and not every anime from the same studio is going to have the same people working on it.

[@marcodragneel8035]

I think what I notice is that most of Imaishi's work before cyberpunk were all too similar, when it was gurren lagann and kill la kill it felt unique, but after that they just felt a bit repetitive in elements used. So it is a good thing to have new outside influences to gain inspiration from and make new narratives around, it was a good change of pace for the people at the studio

[@QuartzRoolz]

@@marcodragneel8035 dude directed 1 thing after Kill La Kill and before Cyberpunk, which was Promare (plus some shorts for japan Anime Expo And starwars vision). if you want to say that Promare was repetitive thats fine, but like... he did one thing. IDK I think the takes from the lads are fine. I feel its kinda weird Garnt only bought up Gridman and not Dynazenon, when (atleast IMO) Dynazenon is the stronger show overall. but yeah, I think trigger has a reputation for Imaishi, and while I love his stuff, the studios other directors are also really talented and deserve more credit. Akira Amemiya did great with Gridman and Dynazenon, and Yoh Yoshinari, while their shows arent to my taste personally, is really good with more slice of life simple shows like little witch and BNA.

@@QuartzRoolz true, one name is not the entire studio staff. But you can't deny his influence on some of the things they do. Like aliens, robots, and risque women fashion taste.

[@QuartzRoolz]

​@@marcodragneel8035 honestly I... can deny that? the only non-imaishi show that has Aliens, Robots and risque Womens fashion in the style your mentioning is Franxx, the one outright bad show. Kiznaiver has none of those things at all, Gridman and Dynazenon do have Aliens and Robots but thats more because of the original 96 series than trigger, and Little witch and BNA have none of those things either. what Imaishi definatly does bring to trigger as a whole is an overall Push for More animation in general. trigger shows tend to move a lot more consistantly than other anime, with character design being simpilar to compensate. thats 100% and Imaishi thing, and thats what he imbued into the studio. Again, byall means, I am a trigger appologist. I really like the studio and all of their shows (even franxx... a bit...) and will go to bat for them at any opertunity. but I think people boil trigger down to imaishi tropes just because they watched kill la Kill and Promare and think thats what every series is like.

[@galothymos6628]

Seeing trigger adapt cyberpunk the way they did was incredible. I was talking to a buddy of mine and I said “I’m almost glad it wasn’t their original story; I feel like they would’ve found a way to make some sort of happier ending and/or to default back to typical trigger tropes.” I really do hope they embrace different types of story telling in the future, original or not, because it’s evident they can animate and convey something incredible while still maintaining their brand and doing what they do best.

[@Bdakkon]

Trigger has some of thee most amazing talent in the industry. They are consistently a studio I look forward to seeing their next project cause its never dull. That being said after seeing CyberPunk, I whole hearty believe they can do better with slight oversight. As long as they have someone to reign them in a little their work just gets elevated to another level. There are so many projects I want them to work on now. Their in house original stories are frankly amazing but I really want to see them adapting other more western works now.

[@SliderGamer55]

I don't love every Studio Trigger anime, but their highs are incredible and they're usually just stylistically what I want in an anime art style.

No one said the take about Trigger that I wanted to hear. They have strength and it’s not story telling. It’s animation. When it comes to animation, they are top 3. It’s not a simple matter of the animation being high quality, but it’s incredibly stylistic. That is the reason why Trigger has their reputation. Also Dungeon Meshi now too.

[@BSell-b1q]

Charlie looks like the offspring of the other three guys

[@Bluargh02]

Too bad that trigger didn't make the chainsaw man anime. Imagine that insanity

[@Nutty_L]

Don't get me wrong,trigger is good but no one can do justice to csm other than mappa. They really put their entire A team,12 artists for ed, every frame drawn with passion,yeah I like trigger too,but i like mappa csm too

[@dediualex3554]

Cyberpunk is shit m8

[@SeaSerpentLevi]

I think people would complain either way. I dont really think the vibe of csm + trigger would be a perfect mix. They could do something amazing, like some ova idk, but not the anime adaptation show.

[@SeaSerpentLevi]

@@Nutty_L agreed. There are some things about mappa's anime im not too happy about, but mappa's catalogue.. jjk, csm, hells paradise.. its all just SO mappa, i cant imagine those shows done by no other studio, their language just blends very well.

[@dremichael9752]

Is mappa not doing that well of a job for you after all the consistent banger episodes they've been putting out?

I guess people forgot Edgerunners was by trigger.

[@dazlao2155]

Studio trigger is the perfect studio for dandadan imo

[@juliansenfr]

I'm not an avid follower of Garnt's anime preferences, but it's interesting that he is the one who named Kill la Kill as an all-timer & raves about Edgerunmers while simultaneously trying to convince everyone on how mid Studio Trigger is.

[@_Parad0x]

The first trigger production I had ever saw was the one star wars visions episode

[@GeorgePerakis]

I actually got into MHA when the first season was ending, and I wentahead and read ahead in the manga. At the time I was reading I think the manga was only up to around chapter 100, but a lot more chapters released before season 2 aired. Then, somewhere between chapter 120 and chapter 150, it just completely lost me, I just did not care anymore and I was struggling to read any further so I just dropped it. It was not very surprising to me at all when people told me the anime fell off after season 2, because I had the exact same reaction to the manga. MHA should be completely in my ballpark, but it just failed to hold my attention.

[@Indeeee]

Not a big fan of TRIGGER but Cyberpunk: Edgerunners was so good.

[@StretchtoYourHeart]

I think the most offensive take was that Rebecca is a loli?? She's not child coded other than being short?

[@justingabriel1765]

But everything they mentioned that made TRIGGER bad or unlikeable is exactly why I love them so much lol 😂, they do crazy shit but for me for some reason your interested in where that crazy stuff is going.

[@dr.deadpool5959]

The problem of My Hero Academia isn’t because Bones does horrible animation but rather how the author writes the story. He keeps forgetting the rules of “Show don’t tell” A good example is the recent episode where Deku uses all quirks at once. Like bro I don’t need you to tell me everything that is happening on screen like “ok so I’m going to use black whip to lift everyone off the ground and then I’m going to use all my force into this punch because it all depends on me now” like bro sh*t up and show the action itself already

[@jasonjones3328]

I'm pretty sure that is what happened in the manga, if anything the anime explains things more like how they always show the name of the quirks people have onscreen

[@julianmedrano8625]

I get what you mean, but it's adapted from the manga. If the manga wasn't explaining it then nobody would get what was going on

[@forstuffjust7735]

Havent seen it but surely cant get worse than hxh chimera ant arc

[@dr.deadpool5959]

All battle anime do that stuff though. They always have their inner monologue explaining what they are gonna do with their moves and stuff like that

[@Fearoq]

Though not under their name, but since its what Kickstartered Trigger creation, Gurren Lagann is still their PEAK anime

[@hansdiamante8884]

for Trigger i honestly believed they were confused on how to adapt cyberpunk and just tried intently to tell a story in their own way but wasn't really the potential of Trigger's style. Because if you've seen how they built up promare, LWA, gridman there was a sort of formula they add quirks and stuff and each climactic scene had a really good impact bit by bit to make it interesting and they mastered it. for edgerunners it was like them going out of their comfort zone for cdpr money lol. they exposition dumped lucy's backstory, couldn't really get that much detail on the other side characters, and even the antagonists weren't that much of an impact of the character's self-conflict like they used to. my point is that garnt is right that trigger IS "experimenting" hell there's even a documentary of them teaching new staff shown on the production of the series because they're gonna be the new style. but i just feel like them being "overrated" is kinda wrong to a degree that everyone is more vocal about hating their shows than people loving them when they're not showing.

[@hansdiamante8884]

for a trigger fan, it's not like trigger can do no wrong it's like, trigger is such a refresh from the mediocrity of the past seasons. and it's like 90% gonna be guaranteed better animation so that's a win

[@SeaSerpentLevi]

Thats why they are great

[@TheCreepypro]

I'm a trigger fan boy so I am always going to think their work is good but it is interesting to hear other people's opinions

[@jessicaluchesi]

BNA felt average if you think they redo "Little Witch"... which is Trigger's ID... then Promare and so on... but Promare prepared the trails for Cyberpunk story wise... so.. it's a slow crescendo, and we want jumps in the formula... and it is a solid evolution of critique of the system...

[@danielsurvivor1372]

2:50 HE IS SPITTING FAX. Only issue is that Edgerunners is ALSO overrated. Sadly the greatest critique of Trigger anime is from ru speaking guy but TLDR, Trigger regurgitates same plot points but somehow it gets worse and worse with each new anime. It's literally animation spectacle over story

[@KegOfMeat]

0:48 I’m in complete agreement with Joey. It’s so fucking mid. 1:04 My Hero is WAY better then JJK. I love the Trash Taste guys, but I completely disagree with their opinions about MHA.

[@arslanmalik151]

Studio triggers have some great dubs

[@Truly.miyuki]

Moist is such a W person Fr

[@owo4288]

To me, Kill la Kill and Little Witch Academia are the only one I consider to be very good. Brand New Animal shove way too many thing in the second half and same with Darling in the Franx. Egderunner is just ok to me because they don't do anything much with the entire gang before killing them one by one.

[@kulkuljator]

Connor could always put subway surfer gameplay on his 2nd screen. Maybe then he would be able to finish 86

Space Patrol Luluco is my favorite anime from Studio Trigger and I think it’s perfect from start to finish. I do agree that some Studio Trigger anime dose lose steam half way through thou.

[@edsknife]

I don't know why Trigger's space wars get so much hate; it's just a way to test the show's ideas with higher stakes, although the escalation admittedly is not always linear enough and sometimes has plot holes.

[@captainskullkidd]

I dunno what hurts more: The MHA slander in general or the fact they STILL can’t get the seasons right.

[@janzethsacmar6309]

I can't still forgive you Connor on your take on 86

[@soup3420]

To be fair the anime for my hero kind of has done a dogshit job at times with everything, including pacing. There are definitely a lot of boring parts to the manga, like the beginning of season 5 or getting their licenses but when it gets good it gets really good. The my villain academia arc was pretty good and while the anime didn't completely butcher it, they could have done so much better and I feel the same way with season 6. The 6th season doesn't have bad animation or anything but the art direction and music choices and everything give the whole arc a much lighter tone than the manga did

[@joeldacosta2331]

Season 6 of MHA is absolute 🔥🔥🔥🔥
