rip gainax, you ended in a weird convoluted way that pissed a lot of people off
they also made Princess Maker
Ough. I feel bad for all the animators who worked on that studio for decades.
It’s still kind of sad, but at the same time, long overdue. Gainax had been a shell of its former self for quite a while, with basically all the people who made it what it was having gone elsewhere (Khara, Trigger) a long time ago and what was left being a miserable pile of debt, tax evasion and dubious IP management.
Speaking of IP, I wonder what’s going to happen to the Daicon Film IP. It’s impossible to make money out of, so I guess it’ll end up at Khara, given Anno is there?
This is a sad day.
I’m torn on stuff like this.
Like all good things must come to an end, and is it better to quit at the bottom? At the top?
I feel like quitting before things start getting desperate and on a high note is the way. And there’s nothing wrong with that.
Is an Entrepreneur a failure because they closed their business? What if they are just done and want to move onto the next chapter.
On the other hand, you never know what the high point is. If you have something good and quit just to quit at the high point, you don’t know if your next thing would be even better. If you quit when you’ve already crashed and burned, at least you know it has ran its course. Yet on another hand(if you can say that), with that mindset one might apply the sunken cost fallacy and go on for way too long…
But that’s what other people expect, what about your personal goals? If the passion is gone, does it matter if the next project is better? What if it’s not, and then it’s too late.
As you said sunk cost, may want to try and salvage the ruined reputation before hanging it up.
