AnimeStorm

AnimeStorm is a Japanese television channel dedicated to airing Japanese animation.

History
The channel launched in 2005 with various programming, all syndicated from anime that aired in the 1990s until the early 2000s. The channel from 2005 to 2007 would mostly air Dragon Ball Z, Yu Yu Hakusho, Slayers, Flame of Recca, and early seasons of One Piece and Case Closed/Detective Conan. In the late-night, reruns of 13-26 episode shows that aired recently (2-3 years) would show.

In January 2007, it was announced that AnimeStorm will produce original programming, with an hour-long block on Friday nights. Geneon, Kadokawa Shoten, and ASI Holdings would produce the block, titled AnimeStorm Premiere.

In October 2008, the block would be shortened to 30 minutes, with a Sunday morning block launching the same weekend.

In 2013, a third slot opened on Sunday nights.

ASI Holdings
ASI Holdings is a company launched in 2004 that specializes in broadcasting and anime production. After successfully getting funding and broadcast licenses, ASI Holdings launched the AnimeStorm channel in 2005.

In 2008, a few executives spun off a company called The Eclipse Group, which is the main holding company of ASI. TEG would be used so that the executives could branch out in other mediums.

ASI Holdings USA
Also known as AnimeStorm USA, AS USA is a production company that was launched in 2009 to oversee the launch of the AS USA channel. However, after a few years of lack of ratings, AS USA shut down the channel, and moved its focus to an anime block on Vis (Va-iz), which launched in 2015. They also program a Saturday morning anime block for Vis as well. AS USA also licenses AS Japan programming for their Vis block as well.
