Anime on Demand is currently owned by Crunchyroll EMEA, a division of Crunchyroll, which is a subsidiary of Sony's joint venture anime business Funimation Global Group, ran by Sony Pictures Television and Sony Music Entertainment Japan's Aniplex.
History
Anime on Demand was founded in 2007 by anime distributor AV Visionen as a subsidiary, and was the first legal anime streaming service in German-speaking countries. Following the acquisition of AV Visionen by Viz Media Europe in 2009, Anime on Demand was merged into AV Visionen as a division, dissolving Anime on Demand GmbH.[1]
On April 2011, Viz Media Europe subsidiary Kazé launched the Anime on Demand in the United Kingdom and Ireland,[2][3] in collaboration with British anime distributors Manga Entertainment, Beez Entertainment and MVM Entertainment.[4][5] Initially hosted by Anime News Network, Version 1.0 of the site, hosted by Viz Media Europe, launched as an open beta in December 2011.[6]
In December 2013, Anime on Demand announced it was closing operations in the United Kingdom and Ireland, and was to be incorporated into Animax UK.[7]
In September 2021, it was announced that Anime on Demand would be shutting down on 8 December 2021, with all content being merged into Crunchyroll.[8]
