The good news here is that Trigger has gotten TTGL back and they seem interested in treating the IP with some respect. Hopefully things like Gunbuster eventually find their way back to Khara eventually once all of the legal dust settles.

I really wish that Gainax could have been kept around as a brand though, particularly from Khara and Trigger who could have used it for a shared fan merch and otaku goods subsidiary. It’s a shame to think the entire Gainax legacy will be only a fragmented memory spread across multiple spiritual successors, even if it is ultimately healthier for the Anime scene that all of these studios have strong individual futures.
