First Trailer for Studio Trigger’s Little Witch Academia
The Anime Mirai program in Japan is part of a government funding project to support studios that train new animators. The 2013 program has a few new anime shorts featured, and one of those is from Hiroyuki Imaishi’s new studio, Trigger. They’ll be releasing a new short on March 2nd (along with the others) called Little Witch Academia, and none other than Yoh Yoshinari will be directing. It looks to be very cute and reminiscent of GAINAX’s old work (which is no surprise given that Trigger features several GAINAX veterans). While you’re paying attention, also check out Studio Trigger’s other show, Inferno Cop, which is my anime of the year. It’s that good.
