Studio TRIGGER is known for its work on My Witch Acadamia, its first animated short, Kill la Kill, and Gurren Lagann. Currently, they’re collaborating with Arc System Works on the upcoming release of Kill la Kill: IF, an arena fighting game set in the world of the original anime.
Several fans asked WayForward Studios about the possibility of a Shantae animated series, and the studio said that there were currently no plans for that.
No plans for that currently, but we're certainly open to the idea!
