Big changes are underway at Anime Network Online, and we want you to be among the first to know.
Anime Network Online will cease streaming content at www.theanimenetwork.com effective August 19, 2017 at 11:59 PM CT.
Is that your sad face?
Never fear-- our friends and family at HIDIVE.com are taking up the torch so you won’t miss a thing. Plus they’ve got some seriously super surprises in store for you. HIDIVE is a new anime and pop culture streaming service that offers a better video player, live chat, and customizable viewing features just for you!

Your current ANO subscription will be expiring 30 days after your most recent billing period. However, if you have a yearly ANO subscription, you can claim for a limited time, a generous HIDIVE subscription credit.
The changes to Anime Network Online do not affect our friends at Anime Network TV. We are leaving them a gift. From August 20, 2017, www.theanimenetwork.com will be relaunched solely in support of the Anime Network television and cable VOD service. There you will find schedule and programming information for local providers.
So long and thanks for your support. Anime Network Online signing off.
