The Financial Shenanigans that the previous management team in Gainax has done and put Hideaki Anno through is so sad.

I'm glad most of the talent has moved on to form their own new studios like Khara & Studio Trigger.

Awww, man. Gainax was among the first things that introduced me to anime'. I wasn't aware of the financial happenings until now.

I haven’t even seen any news about whether the live action film version of Kowloon Generic Romance will be released in subbed or dubbed versions for international markets.

Yeah, it does seem that one kinda fell off the map once the anime concluded. Maybe we'll get lucky and Crunchyroll or Discoteck will license it.

The series seems to be showing up in best anime of 2025 lists, so maybe that'll help get people interested in the movie. I fully expect the movie to be the least impressive take on the story, but I want to see it anyway.
