![]() ![]() Interview goes on to discuss many interesting facts about Gainax and its subsequent works but Yamaga answered questions about two particular points of interest and conflict for American otaku about Gunbuster and Neon Genesis Evangelion. After being rejected they then asked Bandai to sponser an original film and ‘for some reason’ they did which resulted in Royal Space Force: Wings of Honneamise. ![]() After awhile of just meeting up and having dinner together, they approached Bandai about making a Mobile Suit Gundam OVA but were turned down because they were ‘just a bunch of amateurs’. After Daicon IV was completed they realized that they had too much talent to just leave animation behind, so they decided to form Gainax. Yamaga then commented that Daicon IV (the very first work done by all of the founding Gainax animators, pictured above) was intended to be a last, big fun project done at the end of college before they all went off and got ‘real jobs’. Apparently it is to early in the production for a formal announcement of the project although Gainax has been looking for staff to work on it. Yamaga said that the newest upcoming work by Gainax, Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt is “very dirty” and that he isn’t working on that but is instead directing another new project which is “more refined” and takes place in early 20th century England. Yamaga appeared on stage at the end of a screening of Evangelion 2.22 and had plenty to say about the past and future of the studio. Yamaga is the director of Magical Shopping Arcade Abenobashi, Mahoromatic, and Wings of Honneamise, which is the first original film by Gainax from 1987.
