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. Since September 2012 it became available on the rest of the country.
Since 8 September 2010 Animax began broadcasting also non-Japanese shows, like The Boondocks and Dance in the Vampire Bund. On the same year, some of its programming became available on PlayStation 3.
