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

I sent the URL of the article in English to [email protected] http://mainichi.jp/english/articles/20161202/p2a/00m/0et/011000c
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. 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.
