As far as I know, Gainax was confirmed on a staffer's Twitter not long ago (it was most likely reposted on Yaraon a few days ago but I can't be bothered to look for it again). Of course, it doesn't mean so much anymore... Imaishi and others leaving just further confirms that the studio has been pulling a Manglobe, going as generic as possible and losing its identity in the process.
(With that said the Medaka Box adaptation could still turn out to be great, it's just that I don't think anyone should raise their expectations from the name of the studio alone, only the staff list will matter.)
