KFR 125: The History of Gainax - Studio in Focus

Kawaii-Fi Radio - Anime Podcast

This episode, Kyle and Kenny dive deep into the history of Studio Gainax – a beloved anime studio with over 40 years of history which sadly declared bankruptcy in 2024.

Gainax was an anime studio established by fans and ultimately fell apart due to mismanagement and bad financial behaviour.

So what were the origins of this studio and how did this historic studio go from the global recognition to law suits and administration?

All this, plus the latest anime news, expired kitkat’s and Durian ice cream?
