Trigger / Gainax / Khara - From Getting in the Robot To Piercing and creating the heavens to Burning the World

[Scavenger]

This thread is an appreciation thread for all things Trigger/Gianax/Khara , Gianax is mostly responsible for making 75%? of the anime tropes today.

INTRO
(taken from Wikipedia)
The studio was formed in the early 1980s as Daicon Film by university students Hideaki Anno, Yoshiyuki Sadamoto, Hiroyuki Yamaga, Takami Akai, Toshio Okada, Yasuhiro Takeda and Shinji Higuchi. Their first project was an animated short for the 20th Annual Japan National SF Convention, also known as Daicon III, held in 1981 in Osaka, Japan. The short film is about a girl who fights monsters, robots, and spaceships from early science fiction TV shows and films (including Ultraman, Gundam, Space Runaway Ideon, Space Battleship Yamato, Star Trek, Star Wars, and Godzilla) until she finally reaches a desert plain and pours a glass of water on a dried-out daikon radish, which immediately resurrects itself, grows into a huge spaceship, and beams her aboard. Though the short had an ambitious scope, the animation was rough and low-quality.

Iconic Kino they made:

Spoiler: Here

Evangelion:
What hasen't been said about this show, it touched the hearts of anime fans, depressed faggots and actual faggots creating
The iconic anime boy protagonist that started a trend in design. Possibly the first waifu war??? and Most iconic space alien boyfriend; Kaworu.

PSG:
A parody of american cartoons but given the good ol japanese flaire
Gurren Lagann:
Absolute Kino, and holding the world record for the tallest fucking mech in all of anime.

Sadly Gianax went under and the company split into two.
Khara:
Hideaki anno felt like he didn't want to make shinji a whiney faggot and decided to make him an actual man who gets in the robot

Trigger:
From Inferno Cop,Kill La Kill, Little Witch academia, Edgerunners, Promare (and they even got the rights back from psg
They're still making cool shit.​

Trigger made Inferno Cop. Space Cop is the Red Letter Media movie

You niggas better not forget the drugged out fever dream that is Dead Leaves.

Drill Dick is best girl

I'm literally TRIGGERed by the misspelling of GAINAX.

Also Gaina was a thing for a time because they were in charge of that Piano no Mori that was (is?) on Netflix. As far as I know, they're no longer a thing.

Trigger is the most overhyped in modern anime industry, while it started out strong it has a lot of shit with the main saving grace is good art. Only Kill La Kill, Gridman (first one) and Edgerunners are good or above, everything else is either average or shit (I'm looking at you Kiznaiver). And having "lol random shit animation" was good for the first 5 minutes.

Gainax has been dead for a decade. Though I am surprised how many bangers they did.

Khara Eva films were shit. They don't seem to do anything special besides them.

I actually bought shit straight from Gainax once
back in the day there was a little while you could order from their website and they'd ship to the USA
it was every bit the slipshod operation you'd expect, like "email us your order and credit card number"

still, got my R2 eva movie set with REAL Rebirth, not the start of Air like Manga's bullshit
