Animax returns to India via Jio TV after 6 years

Reliance’s Jio TV began broadcasting the Animax Asia channel in India earlier this week. The channel is available for linear streaming on channel 444 of the Jio TV set-top-box and mobile application.

The channel is currently in a testing phase and is only available with Japanese audio without subtitles.

Sony Pictures Entertainment removed Animax Asia from its Sony LIV application in May 2020. Sony did not make an official announcement regarding the removal of the channel. KC Global Media officially acquired four Asian pay-TV channels, including Animax Asia, from Sony Pictures Entertainment in the same week as the removal. ANN
