Hiroyuki Imaishi, one of the founders of Studio Trigger, recently shared with the Japanese portal 'Febri' the reasons why works like "Kill la Kill" are no longer a priority for the studio.
- “Look Back” becomes a box office phenomenon in Japan
- “Solo Leveling Ragnarok” Webtoon is Officially Announced
Imaishi explained:
We couldn't do something like Kill la Kill anymore. I feel that in all projects, but this time it was especially true. It was something we could only create at that time. It wasn't meticulously planned – well, it was more calculated than during the production of Gurren Lagann, but even so, the studio at that time didn't have the capacity to match what the project was trying to achieve.

The anime “Kill la Kill” was a milestone in the studio's history and in Imaishi's career. Released in 2013, the anime quickly became a global success, known for its vibrant animation, charismatic characters, and bold storytelling. However, the unique circumstances of that period are difficult to replicate.
Imaishi's statement highlights Studio Trigger's evolution and its constant pursuit of innovation. While anime has left an indelible mark, the studio continues to explore new horizons, adapting to industry changes and evolving audience expectations.
Fans of the anime “Kill la Kill” may miss the style and intensity the anime brought, but it's exciting to think about the new creations and directions that Studio Trigger still has to offer. After all, the essence of creativity lies in its ability to continually reinvent itself.
Finally, the series was Studio Trigger's first original production, directed by Hiroyuki Imaishi and with a script by the brilliant Kazuki Nakashima. This dynamic duo had previously collaborated on Tengen Toppa Gurren-Lagann. The series premiered in Japan on October 3, 2013, and aired until March 27, 2014, captivating fans around the world.
