Agaru Anime (Japanese: アガルアニメ) is a Japanese late-night anime programming block produced by CBC and TBS under the JNN affiliation. The block premiered in April 2024, and airs on Sunday nights from 23:30 to 24:00 JST (effectively Sunday nights from 11:30 p.m. to Monday midnight JST).
History
Prior to the creation of the block, since April 2011, JNN affiliates aired programs produced by CBC on the timeslot with documentaries and variety shows. However, in April 2024, the timeslot was reorganized and subsequently converted into an anime programming block, making it the first anime block to be produced on the channel since Kirby: Right Back at Ya!,[1][2] with the theme of representing anime from Nagoya to the rest of Japan and the world.[3][4]
As a Reincarnated Aristocrat, I'll Use My Appraisal Skill to Rise in the World and Kinnikuman: Perfect Origin Arc were announced as the debut lineup of the programming block,[3][4] with the former becoming the first program to air on the timeslot.
