In the anime industry, Gainax has been at the forefront for quite some time. The company has had a global impact because of groundbreaking works like Nadia: Secret of Blue Water, Neon Genesis Evangelion, and His and Her Circumstances, which have become cult classics across the globe.

As a result, it shouldn't come as much of a shock that the company is well-represented on various rating platforms like IMDb.com and ranker.com. There is a massive archive of anime, both good and bad, that anyone may rate and review online. To that end, below is a review of a few of Studio Gainax's finest works of animation.

Note: Films created by Gainax will not be included.

Princess Yucie

Princess Yucie debuted in 2001 and was produced by the studio as part of their "Princess Series." Yucie, a little girl, is selected as the Eternal Princess by the mystical Platinum Tiara in this animated series. In order to become the Eternal Princess of the planet, she must first gather the crystals of the other princess candidates.

The show has gained a devoted fanbase because of its inventive storytelling, fantastical aspects, and heartwarming messages about friendship, love, and finding one's own path in life. While Princess Yucie may not have had the same level of success as some of Gainax's other anime series, it still has a devoted audience and is well-known enough to be called a classic. It was also the first in the studio's Princess series, which included Princess Tutu and Candy Boy, among others.

Otaku No Video

The mockumentary Otaku no Video is a parody of both the Otaku lifestyle and Studio Gainax's history, using a combination of animated sequences and real-life talks to throw shade at the subgenre and its followers. Its narrative presents an absurdist view on both themes.

The protagonist, like those in most anime, is an average Joe who is suddenly thrust into an extraordinary situation. He is thrust into the Otaku subculture, which is not an Isekai or other distant realm. After putting everything else on hold, The Otaking decided to focus only on achieving his goal of being the most famous otaku in the world.

Oruchuban Ebichu

Oruchuban Ebichu main charcters

On the surface, it seems to be a lighthearted children's show with a lovable animal protagonist. Perhaps a story about their travels with Ebichu's equally cute animal buddies who are ignored by the people in their life. The focus of the audience's attention is drawn away from the adorable hamster and onto Ebichu, who is standing atop a stack of homemade pornographic photographs.

The story of Oruchuban Ebichu centers on the plight of a hamster named Ebichu who works as a housekeeper for a woman who couldn't care less about her. Making their master pleased is the only thing that matters to Ebichu. Her master's life is complicated by Ebichu's mischievous nature and the cheating boyfriend she has. This leads to Ebichu receiving frequent brutal chastisement in this comedic series.

Top No Narea! Gunbuster

Top No Narea! Gunbusters is a masterpiece from Studio Gainax. The anime made an indelible mark on the anime mecha scene. In fact, it's responsible for countless gigantic robot anime tropes.

For example, indicating your assaults; Gunbusters were the first to do this. Badass folded-arms stance; to clarify, do you refer to the "Gunbuster pose"? This is the kick that Inazuma gives. A true original from the Gunbuster. Every trope about massive robots in anime has its roots in Gunbusters. There should be greater support for this show about a team of teenage robot pilots battling aliens in space.

Gurren Lagann

Gurren Lagann is another great anime produced by Gainax. With its innovative combination of mecha and shonen elements, the anime swiftly earned a considerable fanbase after its 2007 debut. The tale follows Simon and Kamina, two young guys who are cooped up in an underground hamlet but have big plans to get out. As soon as they find the strange robot, they are pushed into a conflict against the mighty Beastmen.

Spectacular action sequences, well-rounded characters, and uplifting messages about the potential of the human spirit are just a few of the series' hallmarks. As one of the most widely watched and critically acclaimed anime of all time, Gurren Lagann has a passionate following even now. It also had a lasting impact on the mecha genre and is widely regarded as a masterpiece.

His And Her Circumstances

Yukino and Kano in His and Her Circumstances

The romance anime His And Her Circumstances revolves around two extraordinary young adults who aren't as flawless as they seem to be, but who become lovers after being blackmailed by one another.

As their youthful love blossoms, they are both challenged to look in the mirror and at each other honestly. To the mind, it ranks among the very finest romantic anime produced in the 90s. The genuine conclusion was cut from the anime, which is a tragedy. After Gainax and the manga's creator had several disagreements, they decided to part ways.

Nadia: Secret of Blue Water

Nadia Secret of Blue Water Main Characters

Nadia was, for a time in the 1990s, one of the most popular anime shows out there. Despite the series' recent decline in popularity, it remains an excellent television program. Even though it's not as fantastic as Gunbusters, this anime is enjoyable.

In Nadia: Secret of Blue Water, an alternative history version of 1889 serves as inspiration for Jules Verne's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. With the globe on the verge of several scientific advances, a mysterious group going by the name of Gargoyle is attempting to seize control of the planet and revive the once-great Atlantean Empire. Thus, it is up to Nadia and her friends to work together to defeat them.

FLCL

FLCL Main Characters

With the exception of Gunbusters, all six episodes of FLCL have the same high-quality art direction, animation, and soundtrack that make it an anime classic. In fact, the crazy story of puberty, space bandits, and a crazy girl on a Scooter should be entertaining enough even without the help of The Pillows Soundtrack.

Naota's life has been rather routine from the beginning when he was living in a little town in a small area in a small universe. But then a lady on a Vespa armed with a guitar comes crashing into him, and everything changes. Then she slugged him with her instrument and his regular day has just become extraordinarily awesome.

Neon Genesis Evangelion

Studio Gainax has had this anime in development hell for decades, and they show no signs of ever releasing it. After almost 30 years, the franchise is still going strong in the minds of anime lovers thanks to a new film sequence that recounts the tale in fresh and exciting ways.

Neon Genesis Evangelion is considered one of the best anime of all time for a number of reasons, including its compelling blend of adolescent drama, psychological, religious, and metaphysical thesis, and big mecha combat. It's still well-liked enough to spark instantaneous fan battles about who had the finest female lead.
