TRIGGER & A-1 Pictures Teaming Up for New Anime DARLING in the FRANXX

TRIGGER, known for hits like Kill la Kill and Little Witch Academia, is teaming up with A-1 Pictures ( THE IDOLM@STER, Ano Hana ) on a new original anime, DARLING in the FRANXX, and staff details have already been released along with a teaser visual and PV.

The director will be Nishigori Atsushi ( THE IDOLM@STER, Gurren Lagann ), and Akai Toshifumi ( GRANBLUE FANTASY The Animation ) will be serving as assistant director. Director Nishigori is also working on series composition along with Hayashi Naotaka ( Steins;Gate ). Tanaka Masayoshi ( Kimi no Na wa. ) will be working on character design. Imaishi Hiroyuki ( Kill la Kill ) will directing the action, and mechanical designs will be done by Koyama Shigeto ( Rebuild of Evangelion, Big Hero 6 ).

The teaser visual was specially illustrated by Tanaka Masayoshi, and it features what seems to be the two main characters. The 110-second PV also has a few interesting phrases like “children without names,” “bird with wings abreast,” and “birdcage everyday” that seem like they’ll be big hints for the mysterious story.
