Alright, I see what you are saying, but it is very hard for me to pull up the most legitimate sources because

1. The anime is over a decade old

2. I don't speak Japanese

However, these rumors have been well founded in the past and there was information out there like Gainax spending half the entire's show budget on the first 2 episodes (LOL). You don't have to believe me, but this information seems to be spread almost everywhere you go online. The only ones who seem to state the contrary are Gainax themselves.

@ Yot-chan

Yeah, sorry perhaps i shouldn't of said that the sponsors dropped the show exactly.

It wasn't just that though, the network pressures, time constraints (They did the last episodes literally the week it was airing), and Anno going off the deep end all contributed to the utterly fantastic blaze of glory that the TV ending was.
