'''Gainax''', also known as '''Studio Gainax''', is one of the better-known [[Anime]] studios, having created such series as ''[[Nadia: The Secret of Blue Water]]'' (''Fushigi no Umi no Nadia''), ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'', ''[[FLCL]]'', ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'' and causing the creation of such terms as [[Gainaxing]] and the [[Gainax Ending]].
 
Gainax is known for impressive visuals, gripping storylines, confusing plot points, and running out of money before the series is finished. This last tendency has been a particular problem in the past; the last episodes of Gainax series tend to be [[Off-Model|lower in quality]] and take a lot of shortcuts. The last two episodes of ''Evangelion'' were produced when the studio had been cut off by the main sponsor, and mostly [[Stock Footage|reused clips from previous episodes]] with different dialogue. Still shots are frequent as well. The final episode of ''Top o Nerae!'' (also known as ''Gunbuster'') is due to the black and white presentation often thrown into this bin, a common misconception as the black and white animation was actually more expensive. Thankfully, they seemed to have learned their lesson by ''[[Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann]]'' (see below).
