The end of an icon, but they leave an impressive legacy behind that we can still enjoy.

Well they did spend their money too fast and ran out at the end, so that was at least on brand for them... |

Wait, when did Khara get Gunbuster? In one of the articles linked here, from back in 2019, Anno said that Gainax sold off the rights of Gunbuster and other series without telling him, and that he never received royalties from the stuff he made at Gainax except for Evangelion. |

Truuuuuueee. Honestly, they should've died in the 90s, with everything that was going on with them, and it's truly astonishing that they lasted as long as they did. |

Hard to feel particularly saddened by this news. It's an important reminder that brand names or logos aren't what make the things you love, it's the people who work under those.
Now if only they had died out sooner so we could've gotten Tsurumaki's FLCL instead of 4 terrible sequels because the Adult Swim guy was nostalgic. |

Aside from the titles that have been clarified, such as Evangelion, Gunbsuter and FLCL, how many of these titles were ever actually owned by Gainax? I've heard that they didn't own the rights to Nadia, which is why despite it being successful, they were in financial trouble after production ended. I'm pretty sure Bandai owns the rights to Honneamise, it seems odd that they would spend so much money on a title they did not own the rights to.

I definitely saw and finished a few anime from this company like Evangelion, Gunbuster, FLCL, and Gurren Lagann. I'm going to miss Gainax but at least their original shows will live on in other companies.

Yeah, I was wondering who even owns a lot of these to begin with. Heck, I wonder if even the other producers Gainax remember (or care) if things like OG Appleseed OVA are owned by one of them given how obscure some of these titles are. |

Gainax had been already dead for 15 years. I don't feel sorry for them because their mismanagement and corruption led to their demise.

I was hoping someone would drop that 
Which I would only hope would be just as underwhelming so it doesn’t wind up becoming terribly overrated and played over and over again on Toonami. Last edited by BadNewsBlues on Fri Jun 07, 2024 9:46 pm; edited 1 time in total |

Truly the end of an era. At least we're left with Trigger to carry the torch.

I read elsewhere that that's pretty much exactly what happened. Gainax sold the rights for PSG to Trigger to try and pay off their debts, but it barely put a dent in what they owed. |

It's kinda sad to see Gainax disappear. It did come up with some really interesting anime. I don't know someone will resurrect it or not,but I hope they do. So long,Gainax. It's a shame you won't be with us anymore.

This is really not worth getting worked up about. Everything you liked about Gainax has left that sinking ship a long time ago. The original spirit of Gainax, if you will, lives on in Trigger and Khara, just without all the negative baggage attached to it. I say good riddance!
