Trigger can't write a show that doesn't have aliens as the antagonist. That's why it feels weaker compared to their others. They love aliens doing fascist extermination as the principle plot point for some sort of coming together of groups that are usually against one another in pursuit of doing a revolution.

What LWA really needs is a greater systemic evil like a Ministry of Magic that Akko and gang can discover are actually baddies. Diane can start out aspiring to be part of that evil but becomes a class traitor and joins Akko and the gang in fighting against it.

This would essentially be a rehash of TTGL, KLK, Promare and several other Trigger works though. I suspect they're trying to break this habit.

BNA is an interesting diversion from this formula because it approaches the typical Trigger protagonist (wanting to change the world and being utterly determined to achieve that against ridiculous odds) BEFORE they become the little communists they clearly are. In BNA the protag starts out as a liberal apolitical type that just wants to go back to normal but by the end of her arc she becomes an Akko, it explores what creates that character. If BNA ever got a sequel it would be the story of a revolutionary again.

I like Trigger. They are clearly a studio filled with leftists writing agitprop.
