Studio Gainax is officially gone and no more. Hideaki Anno has announced via the Khara website that Gainax has formally ceased to exist as an entity after its bankruptcy proceedings concluded, as reported on the Japanese official telegram on December 10, 2025.
The exact report is available on Page 22 of the telegram, as the first entry (#3451) in the Concluded Bankruptcy Proceedings segment. It mentioned that the bankruptcy proceedings for Gainax had formally concluded on November 27, 2025, after the final creditors’ meeting had took place and the asset distributions had been concluded.
In addition, the Japanese National Tax Agency’s Corporate Number Publication Site also has an updated entry for Gainax. It noted that the firm’s registration record had closed on December 1, 2025, after its liquidation process had been completed.
For the record, Gainax formally filed for bankruptcy in June 2024. As not even Studio Khara could fully repay the loans, it instead worked with other partners to secure Gainax’s trademarks and intellectual properties.
Studio Gainax is now completely gone. Hideaki Anno’s Studio Khara has since inherited the now-defunct studio’s trademarks and titles like the Evangelion franchise. Other companies with the Gainax name, such as Gainax West and Yonago Gainax, exist as completely separate entities.
