It's been 1 year and 1 month since Studio Trigger opened a patreon. Let's check on their progress shall we?

Overview Posts Studio TRIGGER is creating Animation and Illustration 2,651 PATRONS $7,090 PER MONTH Hello there! Thank you for stopping by Studio TRIGGER’s Patreon page! We’re an animation studio in Japan, and our motto is to create animation that is both enjoyable for our viewers and creators. We believe if the creators are not having fun with their work, then it’ll most definitely reflect on their final film as well. If you’ve been watching a decent amount of anime in the recent years, you’ve probably stumbled upon some our titles before (we hope). Some of our more notable titles include Kill la Kill, Space Patrol Luluco, Kiznaiver, and Little Witch Academia.

So why Patreon? We’re a studio that strives for a global audience and values communications with our fans. If you've been in a creative business, I bet we can all relate that a simple feedback is all it takes to make our day great. However, there’s no denying at times we wished we had an extra buck or two. There’s been one too many incidents where we had to give up a merchandise idea because it was unprofitable, or simply due to lack of funding. That’s where you and Patreon comes in! With your support, we would like to forward funds into various aspect of the studio. Possibly a new line of merchandise, attending/conducting more events, or simply providing a little more to our staff.

Sounds great! But what's in it for the patrons? Ideally, we'd want to provide rewards in physical form. However, that will not be the case for the majority of this project. Instead, we hope to return to the community by providing more 'opportunity' to our fan base. As stated earlier, there's been several incidence where we had to drop merchandise project due to lack of initial funding. Our initial goal is to prepare streaming equipment so that we can occasionally conduct a live drawing session, or other event involving our creators. Once our community grows, we hope to introduce more ways to involve our fans.
