i was under the impression that gainax no longer exists, flcl being their final production. what (if anything,) happened? were they in financial trouble or was it just an internet rumor?

Sounds like a rumor... that I never came across, not to mention.
Gainax was in finicial trouble years ago. They now fought their way out of dept with help from some other companies and back on top like they were before. Newtype Magazine even did a profile on their studio bout 2 issues ago.
Gainax is a small company and not all of their ventures were as successful as EVA. They've been doing pretty darn well lately, irrc.

Natsumemaya: High school student Takemoto Takeru and his friend Ninomiya Ryou are performing deliveries by motorbike when they come across a glittering light - which turns out to be a bishoujo (Hikari), of course. Story of Takeru and his friends and classmates. Laughter, tears, science fiction, bishoujo, action, heart-warming too - at least that's what the blurb says. Confirmation that this work will see the staff of Mahoromatic back again.
Definitely... an odd show. Guy finds naked alien girl. Big, drooling enemy alien attacks at random in forest. Guy gets scratched on face and is henceforth able to transform into goofy beast-thing. Guy must protect alien girl. Something about the extinction of species, and random camera shots of female asses.
The voice actress of Suguru [Mahoromatic] is in this one and the art style is pretty darned similar to Mahoromatic once you see it in action.
Expect a crapload of additional service in future episodes. Maybe some kind of story, too.
