Trigger

Inferno Cop (2013) is low quality asset novelty humor.

Kill la Kill (2014) takes place in a hierarchical societal towerscape. A whirlwind of clumsily arranged elements provide diversity in a viewer’s mind, yet leaves little of substance. The show’s “symbolism” such as clothes as a means of status - is overshadowed by larger focal points such as the difference in ideology between the main character and Ryuko. The last few episodes triumph in audio-visuals, yet don’t compensate for its sporadically inconsistent entirety.

Space Patrol Luluco (2016), despite its (gifable) sakuga animation cuts, lands several misses. Its tongue-in-cheek elements become unendearing: the comically bad plot-line, cliche romance, and Trigger’s conventional ending “message”. Very few elements come together.

Kiznaiver (2016) establishes melo-dramatic ethos in emotionally effective ways. Despite its unremarkable gimmick (not used to its fullest potential), A-grade Trigger visuals coincide with substantive back-and-forth between characters creating an enjoyable, established, and incoherent dialogue.

Little Witch Academia TV (2017), an adaptation of its movie counterpart, relies heavily on cartoon-like audio-visual neurosis.
