Interview: Studio Trigger

Imaishi: I think some part of it has to do with me favoring strong, centered women--you know, like for action-heavy stuff--but the original story of Kill la Kill was actually meant to be done with all male characters. The scripts Nakashima-san wrote had that intent in mind. So we just changed the sex of the cast to female, and that's probably why the characters are so wild.

So, we would have a possible pseudo-fujoshi/possibly gar series? I haven't really seen the series and this is why I ask. One reason I haven't the series is the lack of a human/humanoid male lead that's a love interest for the female lead. This is 1 of my preferred tropes.

And now i know why none of the characters (besides Mako´s mother) felt or behaved like women.

Ninja Slayer is actually good and the fist half of KlK was fun but they need to team up with some of their previous Gainax goons to regain former glory. I understand that Trigger is actually successfully but none of their products so far came close to what the studio heads did in the 00s and i frankly lost hope in the studio from a writing standpoint.

The closest the series gets is an implied male love interest for a wacky female sidekick

"So we just changed the sex of the cast to female,"- brilliant; best decision ever.

Yoshinari: We wanna become like Pixar, or P.A. Works, or Kyo-Ani.

I don't completely believe that because that would imply they intended a male!Ryuko to wear the stripper-ish outfit the whole time. Which would have been interesting but still there has to be more than that in the planning process.

Everything in one angle! Perfect! According to our settings management staff, the one of our key animator noted that her breasts should bounce more in this scene.

We have been receiving bunch of fan letters here at the studio. It has been a great motivation for our staff, and I would like to thank everyone in behalf of our studio. Out of those bunch, Iori Shiro seems to be receiving the majority of attention from our female fans. Comments regarding his forehead and his abs are quite common…. I can’t even remember a scene where we showed his abs in the series(laughs). I guess the focus of attention between men and women are pretty different.
