+Ultra (プラス・ウルトラ, Purasu Urutora; pronounced Plus Ultra) is a Japanese late-night animeprogramming block produced on Fuji Television under the FNS affiliation, and airs on Wednesday nights from 24:55 to 25:25 JST (effectively Thursday mornings from 12:55 to 1:25 a.m.).

History

[edit]

On March 8, 2018, the programming block was announced. According to Fuji TV producer Mori Akitoshi, the block is "kind of a brother" to the already established noitaminA block airing on the same network, due to it being a unique vision of an anime block, much like itself. Akitoshi further mentions that the block was made due to the diversification of viewing media, with anime being shared around the world via streaming services, which is why the block is based on the concept of spreading anime culture overseas with high-quality animation for the world.[1][2]

Ingress: The Animation became the first program to air on the timeslot.[3]

Crunchyroll Co-productions

[edit]

On September 23, 2021, Crunchyroll, Slow Curve, and Fuji TV announced the partnership to co-produce new anime projects, which launched in April 2022. The titles will air exclusively on the programming block, and on Crunchyroll worldwide outside of Asia.[4] Among the projects announced were Polygon Pictures's produced shows of Gorō Taniguchi's Estab-Life, as well as Tsutomu Nihei's Kaina of the Great Snow Sea,[5] with the Crunchyroll and Fuji TV co-produced Muv-Luv Alternative announced ahead of the partnership.[6]
