Studio Trigger announced on Thursday that Hiroyuki Imaishi (Kill la Kill, Gurren Lagann, Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt) is directing an original TV anime that will premiere in April on the "Ultra Super Anime Time" programming block. Trigger has launched a "luluco.tv" website for the new series that features the date April 1, 2016, and also features a countdown that will end in 30 days.
The website notes that the work will commemorate five years since Trigger was established. Tigger's five-year anniversary will be in August.
Ultra Super Anime Time had announced last March at the AnimeJapan 2015 event that Imaishi would be directing a new short anime for the programming block.
Ultra Super Pictures launched the Ultra Super Anime Time 30-minute programming block in July. Each season in the block features three series of anime shorts. The first season included Miss Monochrome - The Animation- 2, Wakaba Girl, and Wooser no Sono Higurashi Mugen-hen. The second season premiered in October and featured Hacka Doll the Animation, Miss Monochrome - The Animation- 3, and Kagewani.
The third season of the programming block will premiere on January 8 and will include Sekkō Boys and Oshiete! Galko-chan. The third slot in the block will feature the three following four-episode series: Tabi Machi Late Show, Kono Danshi, Mahō ga Oshigoto Desu., and Kanojo to Kanojo no Neko: Everything Flows.
Imaishi's new anime series will premiere as part of the fourth season of Ultra Super Anime Time.
