Studio Trigger are producing an animation for Ninja Slayer, a graphic novel written by a pair of American authors, and they’re holding the world premiere for the show at Anime Expo this year.

Ninja Slayer was originally written by Bradley Bond and Philip Morzez, and was subsequently translated into Japanese and uploaded to Twitter. The story went on to become something of a cult hit, leading to the publication of the graphic novel.

Ninja Slayer’s Anime Expo premiere will take place on July 3rd at 6:00 pm during a panel discussion with Studio Trigger.

Siliconera recently had the opportunity to talk about Studio Trigger’s goals with CEO Masahiko Otsuka. You can read that feature here.
