* BleachedUnderpants: When Gainax first branched into video game development, their first title was ''Cybernetic Hi-School'', a quiz game with enough sexual content to get banned in one Japanese prefecture. They also developed a strip mahjong game based on their own ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion''.

* LimitedAnimation: Taken Due to extremes in extreme budget shortages, ''Evangelion'' and ''Kare Kano'' had to make do with reused footage, static shots, and many other ways to cut corners. The effect the use of limited animation had on the last two episodes of ''Evangelion''.''Eva'' was a watershed moment in anime and is still one of the most notable things about the show even after the end of the ''[[Anime/RebuildOfEvangelion Rebuild]]'' movies.

** Co-founder Takami Akai left his position during the airing of ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' in 2007. This occurred because during the show's run in Japan, one of the episodes received heavy criticism from fans over at 2ch due to guest director Osamu Kobayashi's different artstyle for the episode, and during a discussion on said episode made very negative comments towards the viewers and critcs. Once this was revealed to the public, he resigned. While he still does work in the industry, he has little involvement in major problems, likely as a result of this.

** The live-action ''Evangelion'' film they, Creator/ADVFilms, and Creator/{{WETA}} wanted to make [[https://www.liveabout.com/evangelion-live-action-film-never-happened-145331 throughout the 2000s]].
** ''Uru in Blue'', a planned sequel to ''Anime/RoyalSpaceForceTheWingsOfHonneamise'', which supposedly started initial pre-production ''back in 1988''. So far the only output from this project seems to be a brief scenario draft and a couple of (admittedly spectacular) artbooks by Yoshiyuki Sadamoto. By the time it will (supposedly) release, Gainax wouldn't even be a part of the project, with the film now being produced by Studio Gaina.

* PlayingAgainstType: Out of all the Japanese animation studios available to adapt the ''Manga/HanamaruKindergarten'' manga into a TV show, the choice of Gainax comes as something of a surprise. Then again, does Gainax even have a type? Even considering [[Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt their]] [[Anime/GunBuster most]] [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion popular]] [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann creations]], it's ''very hard'' to find an overarching theme. Blurring the line between {{Deconstruction}} and {{Reconstruction}}, somewhat thoughtful explorations of human nature, and tons and tons of big breasted women running, really tons of sexual humor in general. The fact that Gainax would adapt ''Manga/HanamaruKindergarten'' is itself [[MindScrew Gainaxian]]. The overarching theme of Gainax is [[MindScrew Nothing]] [[GainaxEnding makes sense]].

* PromotedFanboy: The studio was founded by a bunch of young anime fans.
* RoleEndingMisdemeanor: Three staff members fell victim to this trope over the course of two decades:
** The accounting fraud charges stemming from the success of ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' became this trope to Takeshi Sawamura's career as president of Gainax. Not long after ''Evangelion'' saved Gainax from bankruptcy, it was discovered that the studio kept 1.56 billion yen in profits, which allowed the company to avoid paying 560 million yen in corporate taxes. Sawamura was eventually arrested and convicted in 1999 along with tax accountant Yoshikatsu Iwasaki. He resigned from Gainax the following year and longtime co-founder Hiroyuki Yamaga took his spot as the company's third president.
