Anime Unleashed was an anime block that was broadcast on the American cable TV network G4.

Titles airing on the block almost exclusively came from domestic anime distributors ADV Films, Bandai Entertainment and Geneon Entertainment USA (formerly Pioneer Entertainment).

History

Anime Unleashed was first announced by The Screen Savers host Leo Laporte in late 2001. TechTV's vision was to air a wave of anime series that dealt with technology, futuristic themes, and science fiction. Its premiere date was December 30, 2002.

On March 16, 2006, Anime Unleashed was taken off the G4 schedule. The broadcast rights to the shows still airing on Anime Unleashed before its cancellation are assumed to have long since expired (and in the case of shows licensed from the now-defunct Geneon, reverted to the original Japanese licensors or picked up by other companies, such as Funimation Entertainment)

Anime would not air again on the network until 2011, when Marvel Anime made its North American debut on G4.
