{{quote|''"['[[Studio Gainax|Gainaxxy]]'?] I never know what people mean when they say that.

Studio Gainax, also known just as 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]].

=== {{examples|Studio Gainax has created the following: ===}}
 
* Two original animated introductory films for ''Daicon III'' and ''Daicon IV'', two iterations of a major [[Science Fiction]] convention in Japan. These were their first creations, before they had really formed the studio.
* ''[[Aikoku Sentai Dai-Nippon]]'', a parody of the ''[[Super Sentai]]'' series. The first of several [[Toku|tokusatsu]] parodies made by them in the '80s. At this point, they weren't called Gainax yet, but Daicon Film.

{{tropenamer}}
=== Studio Gainax is responsible for the following [[Trope Namer|Trope Names]]: ===

* [[Gainaxing]]: [[Misty May]], those shiners aren't going to heal if you keep jogging...
 
{{creatortropes}}
=== Studio Gainax follows the following tropes: ===
* [[Author Appeal]]: In relationship to [[Japan Takes Over the World]], no studio (besides [[TMS Entertainment]] and [[Studio Ghibli]]) has ever done it with more boldness.
* [[Animation Bump]]: Most (if not all) of their series exhibit this.
