On 11/12/1998, mass media in Japan reported GAiNAX's evasion of taxes. Of course this fact has been already reported at this corner.
However, for example, TBS (Tokyo) reported GAiNAX's evasion using images on "EVA and jolly fellows" which is a kind of videogame on mahjong. Apparently TBS makes an ass of GAiNAX creators.
On the other hand, TBS began to broadcast TV-anime type "Sorcerous Stabber Orphen." The rating (5.1 percent) is higher than that of Kare-Kano (4.3 percent). TBS looks like a bull. Both Kare-Kano and Orphen are made by J.C.Staff.

By the way, Asahi Newspaper reported GAiNAX's evasion on 11/12/1998.
GAiNAX is located at Musashino city, Tokyo. It is a company with a capital of twenty million yen (164 thousand dollars). In the report, GAiNAX evaded taxes since August 1995 till July 1997. It concealed its income. The sum was 1,560 million yen (13 million dollars). Tokyo Regional Taxation Bureau accused GAiNAX and its president Takeshi Sawamura of violation of the corporation tax law.
