Today we explore the tumultuous history of Gainax. From its humble beginnings to its meteoric rise in the 90s with iconic series like Neon Genesis Evangelion, Gainax experienced both incredible success and devastating challenges. Financial struggles, legal battles, and creative conflicts plagued the studio from start to finish, ultimately leading to its bankruptcy and closure. Despite it’s fall from grace, Gainax’s influence on the anime history remains undeniable.
