Animax Germany was an old German video on demand service and former television channel by Sony, a local version of Animax. It was launched during Summer 2007, the same year as its Eastern European counterpart.

History

The channel first launched on 5 June 2007 in the regions of North Rhine-Westphalia and Hesse for Unitymedia subscribers.[1][2] Since September 2012 it became available on the rest of the country.[3]

Since 8 September 2010 Animax began broadcasting also non-Japanese shows, like The Boondocks and Dance in the Vampire Bund.[4] On the same year, some of its programming became available on PlayStation 3.[5]

On 1st July 2016 Animax ceased broadcasting as a TV channel and began available as VOD channel on Vodafone Kabel Deutschland and Prime Video.[2]

Animax has closed down on 1 October 2022 as VOD service, due to merger with Crunchyroll acquired along with Funimation and Wakanim.[6]
