Almost wish Beastars had this treatment. its cgi was, to be fair, good, but Triggers animation is so damn fun. Anyway, will give it a try.

Trigger really follows Kanada School style of animation for most of their works now that focuses on making striking poses, deformation (off-model) of characters rather than fluid animation its the opposite style of Kyoto Animation that usually have fluid animation and on-model characters

Trigger got some Kanada School animators anyway like Imaishi, Yoshinari, Amemiya, Ikarashi, Sushio(?), etc
