Viz Media will launch a 24-hour anime channel on game consoles in the U.S. and Canada this fall. Neon Alley will be studio agnostic, offering content from other anime producers and distributors as well as from Viz. In addition to anime such as Naruto Shippuden, Inuyasha: The Final Act, Death Note, Tiger & Bunny, Berserk: The Golden Age Arc, Zetman, and Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan, the channel will also offer news and behind-the-scenes programming for anime and manga fans. Programming will be uncut and dubbed in English, in HD when available, with weekly new exclusive premieres.
The business model is subscription-based ($6.99 a month) plus limited advertising.
