Industry has a service problem; tries to blame piracy instead. Tale as old as time. GabeN weeps from his yacht he paid for with ruples and reals.

You should have already been saving everything Sir. And the second another version of it pops up I will dump my Terabytes of data onto it to continue the glorious act of saying fuck off to the monopolist kikes who have taken over and nigger'd modern "entertainment".

Naruto, My Hero Academia, Bleach, Dragonball Z, Fire Force, Yu Yu Hakashu, Black Clover, Doctor Stone, Gurren Lagan, that kind of thing.

I did really like Fullmetal Alchemist, but that's a notable outlier.

Gurran Lagann doesn't cleanly fit since it was anime-first, and demographic description are clearly defined with manga which have clear intended demographics based on the magazine they're in. Gurran Lagann did originally run in a weekend morning timeline where young boys could watch, same timeslot actually as Sonic X, Zoids, and Beyblade, so you could argue it's shounen as a demographic but it's not undebatable. It's also a mecha anime, which generally isn't really included into the "shounen battle" genre. When people outside Japan say shounen they usually mean what Japan calls "battle manga", which we can basically just define as "Dragon Ball-likes" to be reductive. Sometimes non-action manga/anime get included in the genre too though as non-traditional battle manga, like Yu-Gi-Oh! after it started being about the card game could be called a card battle manga/anime, or like Shokugeki no Soma was called a cooking battle manga. I don't think Doctor Stone would count, but I might be wrong, I've never read it.

I'll never understand how you could have one of the biggest IPs in media history and still piss all that money away.

Because not only did the lost the rights to it, they got sued over it.
When Anno left and started khara, he managed to get the copyright for Eva and all the ways to milk the IP. Then a few years later he won a lawsuit against them over not paying royalties for the other series he worked on.
Combined with a few other shit like their remaining talent jumping to Trigger, the president of gianax getting arrested, and a few other debt collection companies filling lawsuits, its no surprised the company got dissolved in bankruptcy

Didn't ADV also sue them over the live action Eva they planned? How'd that turn out?

Gianax paid them back $100,000 ADV had given them from the project, after that pretty much nothing since Gianax lost the rights to give out, ADV couldn't sue Anno to get the rights, and as of today both companies went fucking bankrupt.
Anno and Khara have full rights for Eva and its up to them if they want to make a live action or not, the former has talked about opening up the franchise to other directors but that could be anything from anime spin offs, to Hollywood adaptations, to picking a random tokusatsu guy to make one in japan.
