Animeism
Animeism is a Japanese late night anime programming block produced by MBS, and airs on all JNN affiliate stations, including TBS, CBC TV, and BS-TBS.
As of October 2025, the programming block airs on Friday nights/Saturday mornings that aired on MBS, TBS, CBC and BS-TBS on a local timeslot, as well as the "Super Animeism Turbo" block on Thursday nights/Friday mornings that airs on all affiliate stations on a network timeslot, replacing the "Super Animeism" block that aired alongside the aforementioned block.
History
The programming block was launched in October 2006, initially as a half-hour programming block in order to broadcast anime titles which were co-produced by MBS, beginning with Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion. In April 2011, the block expanded to a one-hour block, and relaunched in April 2012 as Animeism. In April 2015, the network reorganized the block from Thursday nights/Friday mornings to Friday nights/Saturday mornings, with MBS chief producer Hirō Maruyama stating that the change was done in order to prevent conflicts with Fuji TV's broadcast of Noitamina.On March 8, 2019, MBS introduced the Super Animeism block, which expands the Animeism block by a half-hour from July of that same year. The block has since been replaced with Super Animeism Turbo with effect from April 2024, and airs on Thursday nights/Friday mornings instead of Friday nights/Saturday mornings.
On March 23 of that same year, 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, either adapting works from Kodansha-published manga, or creating original works into anime, with Domestic Girlfriend becoming the first program to air with the partnership. It has since ceased with the release of ''Blue Period.''
