Background
Gainax, Inc. was founded on December 24, 1984 as "Daicon Film", eventually changing their name to "Gainax", basing the name after the Tottori Prefecture term for "giant" ("gaina") with an "x" added to it, as this sounded "good and international". Notable anime produced by this company includes Gunbuster, FLCL, Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann, Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt, and, most notably, Neon Genesis Evangelion, which have all gained critical acclaim and have been commercially successful. Unfortunately, the company is currently a shell of its former self--after Panty and Stocking was put on hiatus, many Gainax alumni left the studio to make their own companies, including Trigger (which features many key Gainax animators). The company has since refocused itself on producing lesser-known anime and manga.

Availability: Seen on FLCL.
