Gainax trouble end
Akai Takami has announced on the official Gainax website that he will be stepping down as producer of Gurren Lagann and from the Gainax Board of Directors to take responsibility for his actions in having insulted all the Gurren Lagann viewers and 2ch. He regrets having to step down from producer of Gurren Lagann in this way, having worked on it for 5 years, but he believes that the younger staff working on it will be able to continue to make the anime successful as it is. His name has been removed from the Gurren Lagann credits as of episode 5. Akai Takami was one of the founding members of Gainax.
Mimori Keiko and Akai Takami have also both put up letters of apology on their mixi and Mimori Keiko has closed her mixi blog where all of this happened. All these just in time too, I was getting really worried that something bad would happen at the Gurren Lagann event at Akihabara tomorrow if they did not take any action regarding the matter.
There still are some who are unsatisfied however, because Mimori Keiko did not receive any punishment, and Akai Takami is still with Gainax.
This is a follow up to the Gainax trouble mentioned here and here.
