Gainax has been a corpse for a while, as infamously they were treating their animators pretty badly. Hideaki Anno created Studio Khara in order to be able to make the Rebuild of Evangelion movies, and Studio Trigger (the studio responsible for Kill la Kill, Little Witch Academia, Darling in the FRANXX and Promare among other things) was founded and is staffed by primarily former Gainax employees.
Panty and Stocking is one of the shows that Gainax made, and I'm assuming part of the reason the second season has been delayed for so long is because of these rights issues.
Don't forget Dungeon Meshi/Delicious in Dungeon.
Adaptations aren't as relevant to studio talents unless they really fuck them up or somehow massively improve them. I don't know anything about the last two, but KLK and LWA were anime originals.
