    Gainax still existed? I thought they had closed down years ago.

      Their core talent left and formed Trigger a while ago.

        And Hideaki Anno formed studio Khara, which has been financially supporting Gainax, and is a major creditor.

        Khara (and Anno) has now acquired the Gainax trademark and serves as the manager of the trademark.

    The good news is that:

    Co-founder Hideaki Anno’s current studio Khara acquires Gainax’s trademark

    You couldn’t ask for the Gainax IP’s to be in better hands than the most accomplished of Gainax’s founders.

    I thought they sold years ago.

    Because some of their animes switched studios a while back.

      I swore they always had funding issues. I know they went on the last 2 episodes of NGE because of budgeting

      That’s fine, I will leave both up. I would normally have taken this one down pretty promptly, but I have had to spend a lot of time in a cleanroom today for work, so I wasn’t able to use my phone to keep tabs on things.
