Might this blow bear an adverse effect on the upcoming Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt project, whatsoever it proves to be?

Might be of interest to ANN readers.

Minor sort-of off-topic nitpick with that article.

"hasn't had a major hit since Evangelion in the 90s"

Well.... if it has to reach that level to be a hit, there have been literally like 3 shows in the entire medium to EVER get close, but Gainax has had plenty of major "hits", by anime standards, throughout the 2000s decade.

That anime exists -- it's called Otaku no Video. Smile The protagonist seems kinda like an Anno self-insert. There's also an in-spirit spin-off called "Insufficient Direction" about Anno from a less flattering perspective (that of his wife).

I'm almost wondering if the potential announcement might be because Gainax is wanting to use something with name recognition to drum up some quicker revenue. Panty and Stocking deliberately ended in a way to make fun of anime non-endings, so possibly going back on that after several years might make more sense if they are hurting for money.

It must be good to forget how bad the things oftern were (financially) before he left.

Was GAINAX ever wealthy? (maybe the post-EVA years because of the merchandising?)

it's weird tto use the word "self insert" when this project is something they made behind anno's back as some sort of homage.

Whoa! Whether in dollars or yen,that's a lot of money. Let's just hope they work this all out before things really get bad.
