GAINAX, Famous for "Neon Genesis Evangelion," Declares Bankruptcy

So, here’s a bit of a bummer for those who are into classic anime: GAINAX, the brains behind some iconic shows like "Neon Genesis Evangelion," "Gurren Lagann," "Gunbuster," and "Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water," has gone bankrupt.

The studio is pointing fingers at what they're calling "personalized management" for their financial troubles. Apparently, they took some risky detours by starting unplanned ventures like restaurants and CG companies, and gave out some pretty hefty, unsecured loans to their execs.

Just to clear the air, though, the rights to "Neon Genesis Evangelion" are actually held by Khara, a studio started by Hideaki Anno. So, if you’re waiting on those sequels, they're still on the horizon.
