History
Prior to the creation of the block, the timeslot was used to rebroadcast Yuri on Ice, as well as In/Spectre. On January 22, 2020, TV Asahi announced launched the programming block, with Sing "Yesterday" for Me becoming the first program to air on the timeslot.[1][2] On August 11 of the same year, it was announced that the timeslot would be converted from a local format to a networked format, and will air on all of TV Asahi's 24 channels under the ANN affiliation, becoming the network's first late-night anime timeslot, with The Gymnastics Samurai becoming the first program to air since the conversion.[3]
