After almost 42 years, Maintax, the Japanese Anime Studio behind works such as Neon Genesis Evangelion, FlCl, Forgottenand Gurren Lagannfinally the breach disappeared. Its closure comes a year after the studio filed for bankruptcy. True, the ginox that old-headed anime fans once knew spent years as a shell of its former self, but its partner, acclaimed director Ihnaki Annostill sharing a few words for one last affection.

As mentioned above, Maintax formally filed for bankruptcy in May, according to a report from Anime News Network. Over the years, the studio has spawned other production houses such as Studio Trigger and Anno Studio Khara, bringing many talented creatives to their work. Gaintax has been plagued by legal issues with its progeny, most notably Khara who has tormented the studio for unpaid debts.

“As someone who has been with the company for more than 20 years since its inception and has been involved as a shareholder until now, it’s really disappointing,” said Anno in a statement. Press Release.

According to Ann, Maintax has a significant history of financial mismanagement. The laundry list of financial setbacks included a failed restaurant and a Studio launch, which established small partners who later severed ties with the studio.

Obviously, the most significant controversy of the late-stage ginox is the then-CEO, Tomohiro Maki, Arrested in 2019 for the bad deeds that allegedly took the flowing photos of and should not touch a voice artist, resulting in him sentenced to two and a half years in prison. All this happened a year before Maki transferred many of the company’s companies to an unknown entity – a black mark on the rise of the company’s history.

“First of all, we want to express our gratitude and respect to all the related companies that preceded the resignation of AD-CEO Makhihiro in 2019,” said Anno. “Thanks to your cooperation, we have been able to correctly process the rights for each work, transfer the rights, and transfer all the production results and other materials, and safely return them to the owners of the production and other materials, and safely return them to the owners of the production and other materials, and safely return them to the owners of the production and other materials, and safely return them to the owners of the production and other materials, and safely return them to the owners of production and other materials, and safely return them to the owners of production and other materials, and safely return them to the owners of production and other materials, and safely return them to the owners of production and other materials, and safely return them to the owners of production and other materials, and safely return them to the owners of production and other materials, and safely return them to the owners of the production and other materials.

All this, in turn, led Khara to take the lead in the ginox trademark process and distribute the rest of the companies and owners, and the owners, and writers can continue to manage and create their works. “

Case in point: Khara as a creditor of Evangelism Stand Again Film Series and trigger acquisition Panty & stockings with the recently released Prime video streaming series, New Panty & Stocking With Garterbelt. While Anno described his first statements as he could in public, he knew one aspect of the situation that he found failed to bleed at first while the gayox payments and the transfer of rights and materials.

“Specifically, upon learning about the various false statements made by former Fukushima Gainax representative Yoshinobu Asao, Hiroyuki Yamaga, and Yasuhiro Takeda, whom I considered friends since college, toward my company and myself, including instructions from then-President Yamaga to Gainax employees to pretend he was hospitalized, statements that viewed our company as hostile, and schemes to unfairly avoid repayment, I am very happy to be angry,” said Anno. He also mentioned an example he had witnessed of self-dishonesty, mentioning a time when Khara gave financial issues despite the works and staff of the management team. “

He continued: “I realize again that our relationship with them will probably never go back to what it was before, and I actually agreed to the first settlement because we don’t want to waste any more of our time dealing with them.”

However, despite the opportunity to clean the house of a business, Anno closed a sentimental farewell to GainAx and all its worst.

“Finally, I want to express my gratitude to President Yasuhiro Kamimura, a friend who came to the rights of Mainat and the materials of all the parties and materials of all the responsibilities of all the responsibilities and materials that are not related to all the parties, that are experienced by all the parties, that are experienced by all the parties, that are understood by all the parties, that prevent all the reasonings of all the parties, that prevent the all parties and materials of all parties and materials of all responsibilities and materials to be forfeited by all parties, withholding the rights of all parties, understood by all parties, understood by all parties, withholding of all parties and materials of all parties and materials of all responsibilities and materials forfeited of all responsibilities and materials of all parties and materials not related to all parties, who trusted the creditors, and did his best to End, witness the death of the Studio.”
