Animazing!!! (Japanese: アニメイジング, Hepburn: Animeijingu),[1] stylized as ANiMAZiNG!!!, is a Japanese late-night anime programming block planned and produced by ABC Animation, a subsidiary of the Asahi Broadcasting Group Holdings (via production committee participation), and is launched in October 2020 by ABC Television with TV Asahi under the All-Nippon News Network affiliation. The block airs on Saturday nights from 26:00 to 26:30 JST (effectively Sunday mornings from 2:00 to 2:30 JST).[1]

History

The programming block was conceptualized when a single half-hour slot of late-night anime programming was broadcast in the October 2020 reorganization. In the same month, NUMAnimation, which originally aired locally on TV Asahi in the Kanto region, was expanded to other affiliate stations, thus becoming an hour-long anime slot on the ANN network.[2]

The name of the frame is a combination of the words "anime" and "Amazing", with the message of "Amazing anime from this block". The slogan of the block is "An anime frame that jumps out of the frame!".[3]

As an anime programming block produced by ABC, it went on to air on the network after the 8:30 a.m. Sunday anime programming (currently Pretty Cure) produced by the same station, and is the first late-night anime programming broadcast in 14 years since Glass Fleet. The "Anisata!!!" block was renamed to "Animazing²!!!" and began airing 20 minutes later than it did originally. As a result, an anime broadcasting slot of 1 hour and 30 minutes was formed in accordance with the Sunday morning time zone (Saturday midnight), and it is the first time in history that the network broadcasts three different anime blocks. Subtitle broadcasting is implemented in the NUMAnimation block, but is not implemented in this block.

When a network station is suspended due to special programs or maintenance of broadcasting equipment, the station responds with a delayed network, for example, before dawn the next day.

During the summer season, broadcasting time may be significantly reduced or suspended in conjunction with NUMAnimation, due to the Nekuto Koshien High School baseball recap program (produced by ABC, except when canceled due to rain) and live sports broadcasts.
