gainax bounce
-noun
1. A term that has come to describe GAINAX's often exaggerated animation of female characters' bouncing breasts. The term has its roots in Gunbuster (Top wo Nerae!), GAINAX's first OVA(1988) with an otaku-focused demographic, in which gainax bounce is found unabated in the three female characters of Noriko, Kazumi, and Jung. Utilization of gainax bounce can still be seen in GAINAX's works, partially as self-reference and self-homage and partially for pure fanservice.
2. Fanservice as it pertains to anime produced by GAINAX, primarily focused on female mammaries.

Gainax Ending
When an anime decides to build you up and attach you to a character or host of characters, only to violently rip them away from you in the end of the series, leaving you with no closure. It seems Gainax has a knack for producing animes that follow this trend. Neon Genesis Evangelion and Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagaan are a few examples of gainax productions that do this, however you may use the term to describe any anime that does this. Common among mech animes.
