What are some aspects of anatomy (or perspective) that you still have some difficulty with drawing, even if it’s just slightly more difficult to draw than other aspects?

Mulchmeat

What inspired you all to go down this career path?

Anonymous

Are there anyone you look up to or take inspiration from?

Jose leal

Do drawers enter the process when making merchandising figures? In many occasions the protagonists are very strong and in the figures it is not reflected.

Reina

How do you pay your animators? Do you pay by commission or set wages? Do you outsource a lot or is most done in-house? I see that Kyoto Animation uses set wages for their animators and work mostly in-house you can see that that allows them to put quality over quantity in their works, that's why I'm asking =)

SCKBOUNTY

As an aspiring animator, I think after seeing all of your studios’ work, my biggest question would be: “From a directing stand point (Yoh Yoshinari), how do you manage the different departments and staff; As the director, do you draw as much as the rest of the crew? Or have to deal more with the day to day corporate business?” -can’t wait for the stream! Sorry if it’s too long of a question. And thank for drawing Best Girl Akko :D

Ami The Robot

What Western animation is your favorite and why? It can be recent or all-time

How do you approach developing your own projects? Do you have several ideas, or one main one at a time, or otherwise?

Garuto

Improcomics

Does Studio TRIGGER still use the RETAS Software (Traceman/Paintman)? The behind the scenes always show a lot of the animating (which I LOVE) but not a whole lot of the scanning/coloring process. Thanks!

Nickening

For Yoh Yoshinari: Do you ever have a problem with inconsistencies in your art? For example, when you focus only on one aspect of a project for a while, does your other skills deteriorate? If so, how do you combat that? Do you have to practice everything, everyday?

Davide Strano

Have you ever considered to do the anime adaptation of the Otoko Series of Gurren Lagann? And, about Gurren Lagann, who is the favourite character of Mr. Yoshinari and Mr. Wakabayashi?

Lukas em

What's your favorite anime studio? Excluding yourselves, of course!

OriginalAdam

What are your thoughts on all of the connections studio Trigger has made with it's Western/foreign audience? Your level of interaction with fans as a studio is unprecedented in the West.

Optimus Praino

What made you interested in animation in the first place and how do you stay inspired to keep animating?

DuDuL

Do you have some special tips for drawing dynamic poses?

Chayadol

Is there any books, works or animation that you recommend for animators, character/props designer, layout artist and artists who want to improve their skills?

David Balaban

Does studio TRIGGER have any preference for adapting material from other mediums, producing original content, or working in collaboration with other studios? If so why?

Kwek Yong Cheng

May I know what are some of the things you look out for in aspiring animators? What would you hope to see in newbie animators applying for a job in animation? For Yoshinari: How do you approach a scene when animating? What are you thinking as you draw?

Anonymous

How do you train your interns from the ground up? also how bad is the animation turnaround of budding artists recently? Last i watched, Yoh said in the documentary that he has seen a lot of artists that showed potential drop out because they can't stand the pressure

huttser

If you were given the chance to lead a remake of an existing older series or show (for example like Macross), or even a sequel to an older series or show, what show would it be and why?

Garuto

Do you have a waifu and/or husbando?

Will the stream be reuploaded to youtube, for example for those who fail to make it to the stream? Would be awesome. :D

I'm fairly sure I know the answer to this one, but: How are the chances there will ever be a second season of Kill la Kill?

Tamarah Knudsen

Are there any international animators working at Trigger currently? If not, what are the chances for an international animator?

Casey

Yoh, what are your thoughts on 3D Animation in the anime industry? Houseki no Kuni had nice shaders/materials (i.e. translucent hair, bounce light, liquids), and they utilized their camera in the 3D space in interesting ways. It's promising to see a studio work with 3D this way, but I know 3D can divide a lot of fans due to its' reputation of rigid motion and poor shader quality.

Dayne64

Whos your favourite LWA character(s) in terms of design, personality and drawing and why is it Ursula who is obviously the best?

AmericanNinjaX

What exercises do you have for consistency in drawing a character?

Is it more difficult to think up interesting unique character models, or to implement the vision you have in your mind?

MokiMeki

Reference or imagination is more important in your view and why?

tacozama

we as fans like to support your works, can you make your merchandise more easy to get worldwide? for example amazon usa/mexico/eu etc. Also, any plans for new artbooks with sketches and behind the scenes info? would be a great book for collectors and artist that want to study from your works

MokiMeki

What is the hardest part in making animation? why?

Anonymous

What would you say is Trigger's biggest strength as a whole?

Manu Mercurial

What is the number one advice that you would give to animators, writers, aspiring directors and artists that want to create their own stories and series?

Sancho-kun

Is it possible for foreigners to be enterprising in Japan?

EisleyEternal

Your most recent shows seem to have serious tones. In the future, will we see shows focused on comedy and over-the-top action, or do you plan to continue making serious stories?

Exos

can I buy the drawing for $300

Yellow Raven Ink

I have seen the creating process of Kill la Kill characters, when did Ryuko finally feel right for the story? Has the same happened with Akko or each character is born differently, depending on the project?

GentleFan

I read that for the TRIGGER staff, magic in LWA is a parellel for traditional hand drawn animation. Can Yoshinari-san give his thoughts on this theme?

ShrugLife650

Marnix Warren

Does Studio Trigger have a rival? If Trigger is Ryuuko, who is Satsuki?

ArtMark88

Trigger have previously worked with creatives outside of Japan. I’m wondering if Yoshinari-san or Hiromi-san have any specific foreign creatives that they would like to collaborate with in the future?

ArtMark88

Question for Tattun: Can we get more merchandise on the Trigger International store please? Also, can SAL shipping be an option? EMS shipping is just too expensive for some of us 😣

Anime

I know that you do a lot of orginal anime series, but if you could adapt anything into a 24 ep anime what would it be. It could be a manga, video game, novel, and even a western comic or cartoon.

Hazien Lyles-Saunders

What recent American (or otherwise) cartoons are you guys watching these days? it's known you guys are fans of a lot of western cartoons and the same can be said about you guys over here as well in the western animation industry!

sonfan

Giowolvan

Question for Yoh Yoshinari, why was he absent from animating or being in a directorial role on Darlifra? Was it because of Gridman or Promare?

Kura

LegacyTango

>>15465190

If we're sticking to the plot of Kill la Kill, don't they have to be secretly related? Surely it's Gainax?

Dan Kayur

If you were a cake, what type of cake would you be and why? Please don't just pick your favourite.

Rusu Nichita

Do you scan the final keyframes and color them or retrace and then color? and what software do you use for coloring the animations?

the Barbarian

Can you get Imaishi to storyboard a 1 minute clip or better yet, keyframe(rough) a few seconds of animation live?

Dennis Dennis

From the rumour i found from some articles in the internet about japanese animator's low salaries. I have a dream (most of us i guess) to live as an animator or concept artist in japan since i was small, but after my parents found out about those articles, they wont let me go. So, do you think it's true ? Can you explain it to us ? why its true or why its not or no more? Give us some motivation please T.T

DP

Question: What are good exercises to do in order to master drawing figures from any angle?

Claire Bellfield

A lot of the themes in works where Yoshinari has creative roles contain messages of not living in the past. Yet us fans still keep the love of previous shows alive (TTGL, KLK, etc). Does it ever frustrate Yoshinari to see this message completely go over our heads all the time?

Adrian Garcia

We know that at the end of LWA, Akko has reached the end of her journey, but she has only been at Luna Nova for her first year. Do you have any speculation as to what lies ahead in her future, and who do you think plays a major part of that future?

PachiJayk

I'm so excited that you guys are gonna be at AnimeNYC!!

Flying High

What are your favorite anime from the last two years?

Wakazhi

I noticed that Yoh Yoshinari- sensei worked on Pani Poni Dash's 3rd opening sequence. How often does he work on opening animations and how different is it working on those versus an episode of animation?

Sancho-kun

Hi, Trigger-tachi, how are you? So, I have a little request: I couldn't see your live because of the time, it was very late for me here in Brazil, do you'll make it avaliable for download? Also I'd like to have your photoshop brushes, if it'd be rude to ask for, can I? I'm looking for to learn a lot with you guys, so I'm really sad for didn't being able to watch your live. That's all, thank you for everything.
