Ani is a Canadian English-language discretionary specialty channel owned by Corus Entertainment. The channel primarily broadcasts anime series aimed at children and teenagers.
It was launched on September 7, 2001, by YTV Canada, Inc., a subsidiary of Corus Entertainment. The channel has historically aired a mix of domestic productions (mostly Canadian-made anime) and imported anime series, with many of the latter coming from the YTV and Cartoon Network channels, along with the former channel's Bionix block.
Ani operates two timeshift feeds running on Eastern and Pacific schedules. It is available in over 7.3 million households in Canada as of November 2013.
On November 20, 2025, it was announced that the channel would close on December 31, 2025 as part of ongoing budget cuts at Corus Entertainment.
