Ka-Anival!! (Japanese: 火アニバル!! (かアニバル), romanized: Ka-Anibaru) is a Japanese late-night anime programming block planned and produced by Kansai TV under the FNS affiliation. The block is set to premiere in January 2026 and will air on Tuesday nights from 23:00 to 23:30 JST (effectively Tuesday nights from 11:00 to 11:30 p.m. JST).
History
On October 23, 2025, Kansai TV announced the launch of the new anime programming block, replacing the "Kadora Eleven" TV drama programming block which was established since April 2023 on the same timeslot.
The block's title is a pun on the word "carnival", and features the words "Ka" (火) for Tuesday, "Ani" (アニ) for anime, and "val" (“baru" (バル) in katakana) to represent "bar" (as in tavern), with the two exclamation points representing the 11:00 p.m. timeslot, embodying the idea of "wanting to make a timeslot where everyone can gather in front of the TV at night, and broadcast anime that captivates the world."[1]
Tune In to the Midnight Heart will become the first program to air on the timeslot.[2]
