01History
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. 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.
