Gainax has announced that their petition for bankruptcy was acknowledged by the Tokyo District Court.
Founded in 1984, Gainax is an anime studio best known for its work on TV series such as Neon Genesis Evangelion and Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water. The company was also involved in the development of the Princess Maker video game series. Back in 1992, core staff members, including star filmmaker Shinji Higuchi, left the company. In addition, despite the success of Neon Genesis Evangelion, Hideaki Anno also left the company in 2007, going independent and establishing Khara. Due to financial difficulties in recent years, Gainax has transferred copyrights to many of their titles to Khara and other companies.
Gainax apparently…
