On July 5, Trigger opened an official website to announce that they’re working on a new original anime project, titled Brand New Animal. The first visual and staffers were revealed for the project, the details of which we break down below.

Key Visual

A wolf in a trench coat and a squirrel in a track suit pose on a building in a city. The two are surrounded by glimmering neon adverts for products like “Acheetas” athletic gear and “Koala Cola.”

Staff

Yoh Yoshinari (Gurren Lagann Parallel Works, Little Witch Academia) will direct the project at studio Trigger, while Kazuki Nakashima (Kill la Kill, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann)takes charge of series composition.
