Last weekend we conducted 4chan PMQ/Q&A #3, with 1400 people contributing 4500 posts over 22 hours. I managed to spend the better part of a day answering as many questions as possible—thread here.
Since loading large threads can be a bit of a pain on slower computers, you can also see my replies from the /q/ index (hover over the "Administrator Replies" quotelinks).

Thanks to everyone who asked questions and participated!

How can one studio have the two most iconic animes of all time?

How can one studio be this based?

Who cares, Gainax are dead now

It's a shame Gainax imploded and is now dead.

RIP in peace Gainax, you did some great mecha shows in your time.
>>
Gunbuster and Nadia are definitely more iconic than TTGL.

n-no g-guys t-they'll be back anno will change his m-mind!

pls

Because they used to have real hardcore animation geeks working for them.

Not anymore, though.

>>85985612
nobody knows about those two shows but you.

Hell TTGL is about as iconic as PSG. Gainax has created more iconic shows than that.
>>

Get the fuck out shitposter.

Gainax has no hope.

>>85985644
So, you started watching anime two months ago? Extra ironic because I'm seeing the gunbuster and nadia in your image, OP.
>>
>>85985612
Not even close. NGE and TTGL were shown on TV in 1st, 2nd, and 3rd world countries. Over and over again.

I really have quite a lot of contempt for people who watch a lot of anime yet refuse to acknowledge how good TTGL is.
>>
>>85985729
Oh, so iconic everywhere except in it's own fucking country.

The best GAINAX work is Hanamaru Youchien.
>>
>>85985508 (OP)
>ttgl iconic
You may like show, but it doesn't make it iconic.
TTGL is just a Getter Robo copy and very inferior.
>>
When did Gainax make a Princess Maker anime?
>>
There never will be a better fanservice anime than Gunbuster.
>>
If Anno purports to hate otaku how did he end up as part of GAINAX when GAINAX was made by otaku?
>>
All but one of those shows is objectively mediocre.
>>
>>85985822
no one knows what getto robo is, but everyone knows about kaminas orange glasses

But OP, TTGL isn't even the second most iconic show by Gainax, let alone nearly as iconic as anime such as Gundam, GiTS, or Lupin III.
>>
>>85985822
How good it is doesn't change how iconic it is.

Kyoto Animation

>Haruhi
>K-on!
>Key VN

Either you like it or not.

Don't forget FLCL
>>
>>85985871
Was it? I never heard such a claim until now.
>>
>>85985921
those aren't iconic, moe shit is all the same show.
>>
>>85985765
What's there to acknowledge? It's just another case of a lackluster show blown out of proportion by a crappy fanbase claiming that it is one of the greatest of all time, mostly due to the fact that it is so entry level and most people who've watched have watched little else..
>>
>P&SwG
>Medaka Box

How can one studio have the two most shitty animes of all time?

How can one studio be this dead?

>>85985892
I know what getter robo is.

>>85985892
>no one knows
Maybe in your getto nigga, but it's very iconic in japan.
Popularity=/=iconic.

It comes from the otaku's reaction to End of Evangelion. The persistent, if unconfirmed rumor, is that it was Anno's revenge for otaku waifufagging all of the characters so much.

But yes, Anno is a massive otaku as were all the founders of Gainax.

TTGL might be a fun show but it really isn't iconic. I hated EVA and actually dropped it halfway through but I respect the status it has. I guess you could say eva is iconic.
>>
>>85985978
>Popularity=/=iconic.

are you retarded? yes it fucking does.
>>
>>85985767
Yeah, they never heard of these shows in Japanland. I mean, how could they?
>>
>>85986015
Nobody really likes Superman yet Superman is THE iconic superhero.
>>
It doesn't. It had two of the most iconic creators in anime, in Anno and Imaishi, who now have Khara and Trigger.

Maybe now people will stop realizing that studios aren't behind these anime, people are.
>>

Really?

Too bad they're dead now.
Just make Medaka Box - Minus, and die gracefully

Start putting your chips on Trigger
>>
>>85986122
>Start putting your chips on Trigger
Better than Khara. Always bet on Inferno Cop.
>>
>>85986111
Damn right really. Him and Yonebayashi are the best directors working in anime right now, who weren't also around in the 80s/90s. The future lies in the hands of these guys.
>>
>>85986015
No kiddo, popularity is unstable, and will gone after a time.
Iconic means being classic example, Getter Robo is classi example of superrobot genre, TTGL is more like atribute to that, but it doesn't make any influence, since it's not even have anything to make it at all.
Learn the difference my friend.
>>85986006
>otaku reactions
Reactions was coming from last two episodes and not EoE, and it's probably coming from how much confusing EoE was, everyone is confused by that, not just otaku.
And well, stop listening everything you hear on /a/, they just rettarded.
>>
Someone explain why everyone calls Gainax dead.

I seem to have overslept it, is it because of Studio Trigger?
>>
>>85986211
I'm just saying I wouldn't call Imaishi iconic.
>>
>>85986234
because of PSG
>>
>>85986246
Fair enough.
>>
>>85986112
Not right now, but on occasion I do.
>>
>>85986234
Because of all the shit anime and Key people leaving.
>>
>>85986227
>Getter Robo is classi example of superrobot genre
And nobody know about it in the west.

Mazinger is an iconic superrobot.
>>
>>85986234
Anno ditched them so they wont get any money from the 3.33 and 4.44. they invested like crazy expecting revenue, now they have nothing.
>>
>>85986234
Because their most well known animators is left and making new studio, and /v/igins being autistic.
Gainax become kinda empty withou Anno and now those two, but they making a new anime which was planned to be making long ago,
>>
>>85986234
Trigger, and Khara, Anno's independent production company. Depending on how the legal situation turns out, they might even lose the rights to the shows Anno produced while at Gainax.
>>
>>85986294
>And nobody know about it in the west.
That's a bit generalization here son.
>>
>>85986234
Khara, Trigger, and look at the shows Gainax made in the last couple of years.
>>
>>85986378
Ask anyone that isn't into anime, faggot.

Even your grandma knows Superman and Mazinger, because they are iconic.
>>
>>85986811
who's mazinger?

>>85986011
But its not as good RE: Cutie Honey

Panty and Stocking was literally shit jokes on autopilot, what's "deep" about it.

How about you actually defend something instead of posting a canned response
>>
>>85987142
It's fun. That's all that counts for me. But I guess /a/ is no fun allowed general.
