Important to note from this statement is that Hiroyuki Yamaga told Gainax employees to pretend he was in the hospital in one of several attempts to avoid repaying the money Anno loaned to them
Hideaki Anno just announced via the khara website that Gainax is officially dead and gone as a corporate entity as of December 10th: www.khara.co.jp/2025/12/11/2...

And seriously, even if you don't want to flip through old anime magazines there's a lot of great stuff Gerald's been organizing and scanning for the Internet Archive. Worth browsing through if you're curious at all about early anime fandom.

The logical conclusion to this is always:
"We need to allow more corrupt overtly racist & sexist & greedy polici3s onto the Democratic Platform to beat Republicans."
You ran on "Do Not Come", "Most Lethal Fighting Force", and "Finish The Wall" and got beaten by literal Hitler in the popular vote.
