Mangas is French children's television network owned by Mediawan Thematics. The channel broadcasts anime, entertainment and movies programmings.
History[]
AB Cartoons was launched in 1996 as a youth channel on AB Sat package. It showed Japanese animation (anime) already shown on Club Dorothée on TF1.
Due to the popularity of the genre with young adults and teens, and criticism of the violence shown in the programmes, the channel was renamed Mangas, on 1 September 1998 using the logo of the magazine D.MANGAS (the former Dorothée Magazine, although the show on TF1 had ended in 1997).
On February 15, 2011, the channel switched to 16:9 format. During the first few weeks after this change, programs in 4:3 format remain in their original format, before being quickly displayed in 14:9 format.
Since October 2013, the channel has been broadcasting anime the day after its diffusion in Japan to compete with the newly created channel J-One.
