# Animeism

Animeism (Japanese: アニメイズム, Hepburn: Animeizumu) is a Japanese late night anime programming block airing on JNN-affiliate stations, including MBS and TBS. The timeslot was established in October 2006 with a Thursday night/Friday morning schedule, until April 2015, when it switched to a Friday night/Saturday morning schedule.
In its current form as of April 2024, the block airs as "Super Animeism Turbo" on Thursday nights/Friday mornings and the hour-long "Animeism" block on Friday nights/Saturday mornings. "Super Animeism Turbo" replaced the "Super Animeism" timeslot that was on Friday nights/Saturday mornings since its creation in March 2019.

## History

The block initially launched in October 2006 as a 30-minute programming block in order to broadcast anime titles which were co-produced by MBS, beginning with Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion. The programming block later expanded to a one-hour block in April 2011, and in April 2012, relaunched as Animeism. In April 2015, the network reorganised the Animeism block from a Thursday night/Friday morning schedule to a Friday night/Saturday morning schedule, with MBS chief producer Hirō Maruyama stating that the change was done in order to prevent conflicts with FNN/FNS-affiliate Fuji TV's broadcast of Noitamina.
On March 8, 2019, MBS introduced the Super Animeism programming block, which expands the Animeism block by a half-hour starting from July 2019. The programming block has since been replaced with Super Animeism Turbo with effect from April 2024.
On March 23, 2019, it was announced at AnimeJapan 2019 that MBS, Kodansha, and DMM Pictures formed a two-year partnership to co-produce anime titles for the block, adapting works from Kodansha published manga or creating original works into anime, with Domestic Girlfriend being the first title produced through the partnership. The partnership has since ceased after the release of Blue Period.

### Partnership with Amazon Prime Video

From June 2017 to January 2019, Amazon signed a deal to stream Animeism's titles exclusively on Amazon Prime Video worldwide, with Rage of Bahamut: Virgin Soul and Altair: A Record of Battles becoming the first titles exclusive to Prime Video on June 29, 2017. Since January 2019, the streaming deal was no longer in effect worldwide, with other distributors of Hidive, Crunchyroll and Funimation beginning to license titles from the block, leaving Prime Video to only exclusively stream titles in Japan.
