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 [[OffModel 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 [[StockFootage reused clips from previous episodes]] with different dialogue. Still shots are frequent as well. The final episode of ''Top o Nerae!'' (also known as ''Anime/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 ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' (see below).

As a small note, they have a good relationship with ProductionIG, who did quite a lot of work on ''[[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion End of Evangelion]]'' and ''Anime/{{FLCL}}''. The director of ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'', ''Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt'', and one episode of ''Anime/{{FLCL}}'' also worked with ProductionIG on ''Anime/DeadLeaves''.
Recently they seemed to have switched to doing [[Manga/MedakaBox shonen anime with smaller budgets and routine animation, rather than the expressive style they were known for]], due to most if not all of their best animators quitting and moving to other studios like StudioTrigger and to do work for themselves.
----
!!Studio Gainax has created the following:
'''Daicon Film era (pre Gainax).'''
* 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. Due to the truly staggering amounts of shoutouts to both anime and American science fiction in both, plus the latter using ElectricLightOrchestra's song "Twilight", any release above and beyond a laserdisc version in the early '80s have been [[ScrewedByTheLawyers vetoed by pretty much every license holder.]]
[[index]]
* ''Film/AikokuSentaiDaiNippon'', a parody of the ''Franchise/SuperSentai'' 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.
[[/index]]
* ''Kaiketsu Noutenki'', a parody of ''KaiketsuZubat'', made in 1982.
* ''Return of Ultraman'', a parody of the ''UltraSeries'' of [[NamesTheSame the same name]], featuring HideakiAnno as Ultraman!
* ''Yamata no Orochi no Gyakushu'' (''The Revenge of Yamata no Orochi''), a {{direct to video}} {{kaiju}} movie made when Gainax was still Daicon Film, featuring {{ancient astronauts}} and a giant cybernetic Yamata no Orochi. Special effects by ShinjiHiguchi.
'''Pre-Evangelion Gainax'''
[[index]]
* ''Anime/RoyalSpaceForceTheWingsOfHonneamise'', Gainax's first feature film. Like the Daicon shorts, the short pilot version of this was animated and shot on 8mm film in Hiroyuki Yamaga's garage.
* ''Top wo Nerae! (Aim for the Top!)'', a.k.a. ''Anime/GunBuster''
** There is also a sequel - ''Top wo Nerae 2!'' (a.k.a. ''Anime/DieBuster'' or ''[=GunBuster=] 2'') which was released 16 years after the original.
* ''Anime/NadiaTheSecretOfBlueWater'' (With GroupTAC and Korean studio SeiYoung)
* The ''VideoGame/PrincessMaker'' videogame series, which had the player take responsibility for raising an orphaned girl to adulthood.
** The anime ''Anime/PetitePrincessYucie'' was [[TheAnimeOfTheGame an adaptation]] of several of the games in the series.
** Gainax also released variations of the game focused around ''Evangelion'' characters, such as ''The Rei Ayanami/Shinji Ikari Raising Project''.
* ''Anime/OtakuNoVideo'', a {{mockumentary}}-style look at {{otaku}} in Japan interspersed with an animated story about the life of one budding ''Otaking'' (Otaku King), whose company is a parody of Gainax itself.
[[/index]]
** Otaking is a real person -- Toshio Okada, one of the Gainax founders, who left the studio in TheNineties for academia and now is a moderately renowned anime scholar (and an epic troll to boot).
'''Modern Gainax'''
[[index]]
* ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'', notable for its {{Deconstruction}} of the mecha genre at the time, colossal impact on Japanese pop culture, and popularization of the GainaxEnding.
* ''Anime/{{FLCL}}''
** The OVA was rumored to have started life as something to cheer up the staff after the fear and angst storm that was ''The End of Evangelion''.
* ''Manga/KareKano''

* ''Manga/{{Mahoromatic}}''
* ''Anime/AbenobashiMahouShoutengai'', a.k.a. ''Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi'' (With Creator/{{Madhouse}})
* ''Anime/ThisUglyYetBeautifulWorld''
* ''[[Anime/CuteyHoney Re: Cutie Honey]]'', a re-imagining of of [[GoNagai Go Nagai's]] classic magical girl series.
* ''Manga/HeIsMyMaster''
* ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann''
** Spectacularly avoided the studio's typical money problems; a substantial portion of the show's budget (''[[MemeticMutation 40%!]]'') was reserved for the final episodes.
* ''Shikabane Hime'', a.k.a. ''Manga/CorpsePrincess''
* ''Manga/HanamaruKindergarten''
* ''Anime/PantyAndStockingWithGarterbelt''
** Allegedly created when the crew headed to a spa for a get together and got drunk while telling stories to each other. They found the ideas hilarious and used that for the show.
* ''Anime/HoukagoNoPleiades'': A MagicalGirl collaboration between Gainax and Subaru.
* ''LightNovel/BibliothecaMysticaDeDantalian''
* ''Manga/MedakaBox''

!! Studio Gainax provides examples of the following tropes:
* AuthorAppeal: In relationship to JapanTakesOverTheWorld, no studio (besides TMSEntertainment and Creator/StudioGhibli) has ever done it with more boldness.
* AnimationBump: Most (if not all) of their series exhibit this.
* AscendedFanboy: The studio was founded by a bunch of young anime fans.
* AsskickingPose: The BadassArmFold. Technically only used in [[Anime/GunBuster two]] [[Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann series]] and a [[Anime/DieBuster continuation]], it's done memorably enough to be known as the [[FanNickname Gainax Stance]] in Japan.
* DeconReconSwitch: A meta example: they made ''Anime/GunBuster'', ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'', and ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' (in that order).
* DevelopmentHell
** The ''Evangelion'' Movie they, Creator/ADVFilms and {{WETA}} were supposed to make.
** They were also supposedly working on some other ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' projects which ended up in DevelopmentHell.
** Still ''nothing'' beats ''Aoki Uru'', 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 the couple of (admittedly spectacular) artbooks by Yoshiyuki Sadamoto. They still reportedly plan to make it somewhere in the future.
* FanNickname: The Gainax Pose, which is where the giant robot arms from ''Anime/GunBuster'' and ''Anime/DieBuster'' are crossed in a BadAss way (given a ShoutOut in ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' with the Super Galaxy Gurren Lagann).
* {{Fanservice}}: Tons and tons of it.
-->[[Webvideo/EvangelionAbridged "It's Gainax! Fanservice adds to our character development!"]]
* LimitedAnimation: [[UpToEleven Taken to extremes]] in the last two episodes of ''Evangelion''.
* OffModel: Episode four of ''Anime/TengenToppaGurrenLagann'' changed [[ArtShift its entire art style]], The fans were pissed off to say the least.
* 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 [[{{Gainaxing}} big breasted women]] running, really tons of sexual humor in general. The fact that Gainax would adapt ''Manga/HanamaruKindergarten'' is itself [[MindScrew Gainaxian]]. The overaching theme of Gainax is [[MindScrew Nothing]] [[GainaxEnding makes sense]].
* {{Postmodernism}}: A staple of nearly all of their works.
* PromotedFanboy
* ShoutOut: To the brim, being a studio of [[PromotedFanboy promoted fanboys]]. Recent works are also filled with [[MythologyGag self-references]].

->"['''Gainaxy'?'']'' I never know what people mean when they say that. It started out to mean [[{{Gainaxing}} big, bouncy breasts]], then became [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion existentialist angst]], then became [[Anime/{{FLCL}} hyper-kinetic psycho-sexual slapstick]]. What's it mean now?"\\
