Trigger /a/ Q&A with Tattun/Producer (questions in bold)

(x)

Who is your favorite girl?

Which would you have sex with?

I can't choose. I like all my characters. But I do like the newer characters that's still yet to be shown in the series.

I won't be answering your later question

Producer-san. Did any staff travel around the UK to get inspiration?

Will there be a witch from Wales?

Yes we did. We visited London and Edinburgh

We don't really have a plan for a witch from Wales.

Legit question. Was this character based on Chumlee from Pawn Stars?

Yes, this was homage to Chumlee. Also a show of respect to Matsushima, the voice actor for this particular character.

I love Chumlee!

So, who are the other Trigger girls?

TRIGGER GIRLS will not be taking part in LWA.

Isekai is the biggest trend in the industry right right now, are Trigger going to get into it?

None of the project we're working on fits that genre. But who knows, some surprise project my nudge in.

Why are there no Canadian witches?

Please put in a Canadian witch

I guess we don't have a clear image of what Canada/Canadians are like. We gotta do some studying I suppose.

When do we see Andrew debut!??

I can't disclose this information. Sorry! Just keep on watching every episode...

Did you expect Little Witch Academia to provoke such a response overseas?

How much has the international audience factored into your plans for this series?

Initially I had no expectation. But I always wanted to work on a project that will be watched and enjoyed globally.

Does Trigger approve of Akko x Diana? This is important.

No. Do what you wish in your fan fictions.

What are the chances of getting a British dub?

That'd be the dream

Producer- san

WHAT STATE IS AMANDA FROM?

We only have her nationality thought out still. She's Irish American sooo how's Brooklyn sound?

I haven't confirmed anything with the director, so anything I mention might be turned over at a later time.

Will vampire-chan appear in episode 4?

Will Sucys mom-sama appear?

We really want to.

Is there going to be a Luluco cameo in LWA?

Can't comment on this at the moment.

Is there a male counterpart to Luna Nova???

A school for Wizards??

Wizards exist in the LWA world.

Will Trigger-chan show up in LWA?

No

Will Akko ever get gud?

Will Lotte do something outside be the 3rd wheel?

You have to watch the entire series to find that out.

Producer-san what was the inspiration for the spells?

I'll disclose that information once the series is over!

Has TRIGGER considered opening up donations from overseas, or using a service like Patreon?

Many of us want to support the studio directly, but it's difficult.

Not at the moment. But if there's enough request, we can give it a try.

Producer-san do idol witches exist?

Isn't that suppose to be Chariot?

Is Akko the only muggle (non-magic folk) in the academy, or will there be more featured?

Is Luna Nova the only magic school in the LWA world?

I think there's more student from a non magic household. They're just not featured.

Yes, other magical academy aside from Luna Nova exists.

Who came up with the metal wand design?

All the designs are by Yoshinari.

Producer-san, Tattun touched upon this briefly, but what is THE single best way to support you guys directly when it comes to merchandising? Forget the middleman, forget committees, what is the best way for my money to go directly to you, tattun, and everyone else that works in the studio?

Hmmm I'm not sure.

Will Trigger be selling LWA Brooms as merchandise?

because i would buy one.

No. Someone please make a prop broom for us!

Do you guys plan on selling raw inbetween frames for LWA like you guys did for KLK?

We hope to do so!

How is production going so far on the show? How do the staff feel about the project?

We're behind! Help us!

How different is it producing anime for a platform like Netflix in comparison to just producing it regularly?

It's quite different! A lot of new rules that we have to follow.

Hi Producer-san! If this series gets dubbed, which I hope it does so kids in the States can watch it, will it have the same voice actors as for the OVAs? Or will you get new VAs?

I'm not sure. We never had any says in dubbing.

Producer-san

This is very important for us.

Ursula a virgin?

Yes/No?

She says "うるせーなwww"

Dear Producer-san

Can we trust you guys to upkeep the family-friendly and magical atmosphere of the show? I love the world this anime presents and I, as many other anons, believe that adding things like romance or going overboard with yuri would demolish that atmosphere.

We do want to keep the family friendly atmosphere. Our goal is to make a series where it is appreciated by the largest demographic.

Also, will we see more of Avery, and Akko bullying?

Avery will get a scene occasionally.

Hopefully Akko can grow out of her habits.

I know it is early but is there any plans for Season 2 or another Movie and maybe OVA if LWA came out successful/popular?

Hold your horses! Please enjoy our television series first.

What inspired the decision to make Amanda overtly Irish-American as opposed to just American?

It's one of the few times I've seen something like that done in an anime.

Not sure. It was a request by Yoshinari.

Important question: Is sucy a Filipino?

We want to keep Sucy's profile mysterious.

Why is there no Swedish witch producerSan?

You gotta settle with Lotte. She's from the same area... sort of... They exist in another class. Just not around Akko.

Will Chum Lee appear on later episodes or was it a one time cameo?

he will make an appearance occasionally.

I love Chumlee.

How much research was put into British snacks? Did anyone get as fat as Jasminka?

Wow! I'm amazed how much research you've put in.

>pot

>kettle

based tattun

This is Tattun responding. Yes my favorite flavor for kettle cook potato chip is Salt n Vinegar. Thus why I like Jas.

Are we getting beach episode?

No.

Where would you like to see anime go in 5 years? Where do you think it will be in 5 years?

I hope we're around in 5 years.

Who's work in the animation industry today do you admire?

Zootopia's director. Byron Howard

What's your opinion on animation today? 3D, 2D, video games, etc.?

It's good to have multiple ways to express a project. But my favorite is 2D.

Answers from here on by Tattun.

Are we going to get the cards?

I believe there's a plan to have them as a bonus for the BD. As for the details, I am unsure.

TATTUN

Tell Trigger that we want to give them money.

It's getting ridiculous. She kept dodging out attempts to throw money at her.

Tell them to open a donation thing. I mean come on it's current year.

The Japanese are very skeptical when it comes to new technology/idea they're not familiar with.

Is there any merch in particular that you enjoy helping create? Any that you're looking forward to that you can tell us?

Is this question exclusive to LWA? I usually make artbook type of merch. For LWA, I believe I only made the yellow staff book that went around a while ago.

aren't you supposed to work for a living

for the last few days you just sit here and shitpost

I kinda get to set my own work hours. As long as I can get the work done. I don't recall posting here all that much though? Last time was Saturday?

Does Trigger owning the IP for LWA (I assume they own it at least) give better leverage for shares of profits?

How profitable for you are figures and nendoroids?

I have no details regarding this matter. But from the looks of previous title like KLK, I don't think it's too great.

What merch do we need to buy to directly support trigger?

This is important!!!!

Mostly stuff that goes on our online store... Which isn't too rich in variety since we always have difficulties getting the go sign for oversea sales.

>I hope we're around in 5 years.

A-are you guys running low on funds? ;w;

I think our producer has the habit of overspending the initial budget lol

Hey Tattun, given what you said in the last thread, how will we know which merchandise is sold by Trigger as opposed to the committee?

I know you said that it's a complicated process regarding what merch Trigger actually gets to licence, but if there was even some way of knowing which merch is licenced by Trigger it would help a lot for those of us who wish to support the studio directly.

Might be hard but if you research hard enough, it'll generally say who manufactured the item.

>The Japanese are very skeptical when it comes to new technology/idea they're not familiar with.

Well tell them to stop being skeptical and enter the 21st century.

What do you expect from people who "REALLY" believes that such an archaic media like Blu-rays sells like pancakes.

How would you rank Trigger's original works, in order of most to least favorite?

Did you enjoy Luluco as much as I did (a lot)?

The first project I was involved was the original LWA. So nostalgia points are definitely in effect. Sooo I'll probably rank LWA on top of Luluco and KLK.

Will the old LWA sketchbook ever be reprinted?

No plans at the moment

So Tattun, do you like your anime-related job? Would you change it for something different?

Yea, I'm enjoying it. But then I gotta think of quality of life soon too lol

Tattun, is this guy right?

Nah, but this guy sounds like he has a better understanding than me.

Im sorry if this is really off the topic of anime, but when Kill la Kill was airing I heard that Trigger and Platinum Studios were pals, or just had mutual things going on so this lead to me also hearing a lot of wishing and speculation that there would be a KLK or some trigger video game at some point, however I always question the validity of that statement.

Do you know if it is true though?

Maybe one of the producer might be close with someone in Platinum? Can't confirm this but I know one of the creators from Platinum was interested in working on a KLK game if given the opportunity.

Are you planning to come back at some point in the future?

Since the Mods were kind enough to give me an account, I'd like to make more use out of it.

what are some dirty secrets about the anime industry

I thought I was pretty open with my opinions today.
