9. SSSS.Gridman

He soon discovers that he has the ability to merge with a giant robot called Gridman, built for the purpose of fending off the monsters that now inhabit the city. Yuta teams up with two other students in hopes of regaining his lost memories and putting an end to the monster’s invasion.
8. Inferno Cop
Studio Trigger’s surreal yet popular project, Inferno Cop is notorious for its satirical low-budget animation, which consists of mostly still images with minimal movement. The anime follows a cop with an inexplicably flaming head who’s trying to avenge his fallen family members.
Going by the name of Inferno Cop, he dispenses ruthless justice on all lawbreakers he can find in Jack Knife Edge Town, generally by blowing them up, shooting them dead, or both! Inferno Cop is a very odd and amusing anime by Studio Trigger that leaves you in awe.
7. Kiznaiver
Kiznaiver is a coming-of-age story of high school student Agata Katsushira who cannot feel pain, making him a very melancholy and indifferent individual. However, one day Agata and his other classmates are abducted and forced to join the Kizuna System as official “Kiznaivers”.
The Kiznaiver test links the test subjects to each other, allowing them to feel each other’s pain. With their fates literally intertwined, the Kiznaivers must expose their true selves to each other in an incomplete system designed with world peace in mind.
6. BNA: Brand New Animal
BNA is a visually striking and provocative anime by Studio Trigger that tackles themes of discrimination and prejudice in a refreshing way. Set in a world where humans and beastmen coexist, the series features the story of high school girl Michiru Kagemori who suddenly turns into a tanuki beastman.
In a panic, Michiru flees her home and seeks refuge in Anima City in hopes of figuring out what has happened to her. Along the way, Michiru becomes involved in a dangerous plot against the beastmen and accompanies Shirou Ogami on an investigation that may aid both of them in their goals.
5. Darling In The Franxx
Darling in the Franxx is a collaborative original anime by A1 Pictures and Trigger. The story is set on a post-apocalyptic earth where giant beasts called Klaxosaurs have forced humankind to live in domed cities. Out of fear, children are drafted and trained to pilot mecha robots.
The series focuses on the partnership between Hiro, a former prodigy, and Zero Two, a hybrid human and elite pilot who aspires to become entirely human. With a new partner by his side, Hiro pledges to risk his life to defend mobile cities that cling to survival.
4. Promare
Promare serves as a cornerstone work of anime by Trigger that boasts the studio’s trademark stylized visuals full of vibrant colors, dynamic action sequences, and detailed character designs. The film is set in a futuristic world where a race of flame-wielding mutants called Burnish has appeared.
Galo Thymos, a young firefighter, joins the Burning Rescue team to fight the Burnish and protect the innocent. Soon, Galo sets out on his fated journey to find the truth about these mutants, ultimately leading him to question everything he previously held to be true.
3. Little Witch Academia
Studio Trigger’s solid emphasis on the action genre overshadows their underdog shojo anime, Little Witch Academia. The series chronicles Akko Kagari, an aspiring witch who joins the most prestigious magical academy in the world, Luna Nova, in hopes of living up to her idol, Shiny Chariot.
However, Atsuko’s journey does not take off the way she thought as she’s seen as little more than a rebel student. But when a chance finally presents itself, she takes it, and now it’s up to Atsuko to stop a rampaging dragon before it flattens the entire academy.
2. Cyberpunk: Edgerunners
