I've felt the same way about Gainax, from whom all the good original people departed, forming splinter studios while Gainax's "loose management" ran it into the ground. These days the company is known for tax fraud and embezzlement in its history, as well as sexual misconduct against a minor committed by its president. But Evangelion is a Studio Khara (Hideaki Anno's studio) property now, so it's safe.


> sexual misconduct against a minor

I thought that Japan had some of the most permissive laws in the world for that. (I'm making no moral judgement, only legal)

If what happened was a violation of even that, then Jesus. (I have not looked up this incident at all)


Yeah, Japan is starting to crack down on that now. And because nude photos were involved, child pornography laws could be invoked anyway.
