AniNick 2

AniNick 2 is a Japanese television channel devoted to anime. The channel is dedicated for burning off anime that didn't have a good run on AnimeNation.

History
The channel started by having a 6am - 6pm timeslot, with the 6pm - 6am devoted to rerun the entire schedule. But in 2006, Viacom bought 5% and took over the channel, making the 5am - 1pm timeslots devoted to Nickelodeon reruns and the rest of the schedule for AniNick 2. In 2008, when Nickelodeon Japan was about to close a year later, the channel shifted it's daytime programming to Nickelodeon programming, with 10am - 6pm devoted to Nickelodeon programming and 6pm - 9am devoted to AniNick 2, and 9am - 10am devoted to paid programming.

In 2010, the schedule shifted again, with Nickelodeon still being the sole daytime station, with 7am - 7pm and AnimeNick 2 getting 7pm - 7am.

In 2013, the schedule shifted again, with Nickelodeon getting the 4:30a - 9p timeslot, and AniNick 2 getting 9p - 4:30a.

In 2014, the schedule shifted again with Nickelodeon getting the 3am - 8:30pm timeslot, and AniNick 2 getting the 8:30p - 3am timeslot.

In August 2015, RaGE Media bought 5% of the channel, and thus rebranding it again, also the schedule shifted again with Nickelodeon getting the 5a - 10a timeslot, officially renaming the timeslot to Nickelodeon Rising Sun. The new AniNick 2 logo has a arcade like resemblance. In October, it was announced that the channel will be shut down to make room for AnimeNation Movies.

On January 9, 2016, the channel shut down.

HD feed
For a short time in 2008, there was a HD feed but after 2009, the HD feed has disappeared, thus making this channel one of the only AnimeNation channels not in 1080i.
