Friday Anime Night


Friday Anime Night is a Japanese late-night anime programming block produced by Nippon TV under the Nippon [Television Network System|NNS] affiliation. The block airs on Friday nights from 23:00 to 23:30 JST.

History

In October 2023, Nippon TV established a new programming timeslot entirely dedicated to anime. The block broadcasts nationwide on the channel and its network under the NNS affiliation, and airs on Friday nights at 23:00 JST, following after the network's long-running movie block.
Frieren: Beyond Journey's End became the first program to air on the timeslot, which premiered its first 4 episodes on the network's Friday Road Show movie block as a 2-hour special, with subsequent episodes airing in the newly established timeslot thereafter.
Starting in April 2026, the block will expand into a one-hour timeslot.
