TV Tokyo Celebrates 7th Anniversary with YouTube Channel Renewal
There is some really great news for anime fans today! To mark its 7th anniversary, TV Tokyo's famous anime YouTube channel, Anitere Channel, has officially undergone a major renewal as of March 19th. This isn't just a simple update; they are actually launching two brand-new channels called TV Tokyo Anime and TV Tokyo Anime Kids. This move is part of a massive celebration involving 7 major projects where they plan to distribute 77 different works all at once. It is a huge step for the broadcaster to make their content more accessible to everyone.
Expanding Content for All Generations
The TV Tokyo Anime Channel has really scaled up its library to cater to a very wide range of fans. Whether you want to catch up on classic works that were previously broadcast on TV Tokyo or you are looking for missed episodes of series currently on air, this channel has it all. They are even planning to stream original programs that feature popular voice actors and conduct live streams of major anime events. It's quite clear they want to make this a one-stop destination for exploring the best of TV Tokyo anime content online.
On the other hand, the TV Tokyo Anime Kids Channel is specifically designed for the younger audience, mainly infants and elementary school students. The goal here is to create a safe space where parents and children can watch animation together without any worry. They will be focusing on kid-friendly shows that are currently running on TV Tokyo, ensuring the content is both entertaining and appropriate for small children.
Special Limited-Time Broadcasts and Lineups
To celebrate this renewal properly, the TV Tokyo Anime Channel is doing something very special. Starting today, they will be broadcasting one carefully selected episode from seven different works every single day for the next 11 days. The variety in the lineup is actually quite impressive. It ranges from older nostalgic hits like Akazukin Chacha episode 1 and Revolutionary Girl Utena episode 1, to legendary series like Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann episode 8 and Natsume Yujincho Riku episode 8.
If you are more into the recent hits, don't worry because they have included SPY x FAMILY episode 15 and Kaiju No. 8 episode 10 in the list too. For the kids, they are bringing in the Pokemon series, Aikatsu! series, and the Pretty Series. You have to be quick though, because each of these will only be available for a limited time of two weeks from their respective release dates. It's a golden chance for exploring the best of TV Tokyo anime without having to search multiple platforms.
Exciting Collaborations and Events
The renewal also brings some interesting collaborations with other TV Tokyo programs. For instance, today on March 19th, a special collab with Hikaru Ijuin & Nobuyuki Sakuma's TV Tokyo Criticism will be available on the channel. Later, on the 28th, fans can look forward to a collaboration with THE Karaoke☆Battle. Another big highlight is that the channel will live stream from the AnimeJapan 2026 TV Tokyo booth on March 27th and 28th, so you won't miss any of the action from the event.
