History
The name of the slot was given when a single 30-minute slot of late-night anime programming was broadcast in the October 2020 reorganization. In the same month, {{ill|NUMAnimation|ja}}, which originally aired locally in the Kanto region on TV Asahi, was expanded to other affiliate stations, thus becoming an hour-long anime slot on the ANN network.{{cite web|url=https://mantan-web.jp/article/20200811dog00m200064000c.html|script-title=ja:ANiMAZiNG！！！：ABCが10月に全国ネットの深夜アニメ枠新設 「いわかける！」放送 NUMAnimationにMAPPA制作のオリジナルアニメ|work=Mantan Web|date=August 12, 2020|access-date=October 19, 2022|language=ja}}
The name of the frame is a combination of the words "anime" and "Amazing", with the message of "Amazing anime from this block". The slogan of the block is "An anime frame that jumps out of the frame!".{{cite web|script-title=ja:ANiMAZiNG!!!（アニメイジング）|url=https://www.asahi.co.jp/anime/animazing/|publisher=Asahi Broadcasting Corporation|access-date=October 19, 2022|language=ja}}
As an anime programming block produced by ABC, it went on to air on the network after the 8:30 a.m. Sunday anime programming (currently Pretty Cure) produced by the same station, and is the first late-night anime programming broadcast in 14 years since Glass Fleet. The "Anisata!!!" block was renamed to "Animazing²!!!" and began airing 20 minutes later than it did originally. As a result, an anime broadcasting slot of 1 hour and 30 minutes was formed in accordance with the Sunday morning time zone (Saturday midnight), and it is the first time in history that the network broadcasts three different anime blocks. Subtitle broadcasting is implemented in the NUMAnimation block, but is not implemented in this block.
When a network station is suspended due to special programs or maintenance of broadcasting equipment, the station responds with a delayed network, for example, before dawn the next day.
During the summer season, broadcasting time may be significantly reduced or suspended in conjunction with NUMAnimation, due to the Nekuto Koshien High School baseball recap program (produced by ABC, except when canceled due to rain) and live sports broadcasts.
