History
Animax Eastern Europe replaced A+ Anime in Hungary, Romania, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia on 2 July 2007. This was Animax's first major expansion to Europe.

For its whole permanence on Eastern Europe, Animax had shared frequency space with Minimax, broadcasting from 8PM to 2AM. The channel broadcast its programmes either dubbed in the local language of each country, or in Japanese audio with local subtitles.

The channel was closed on 31 March 2014 and was replaced by the Chellomedia channel C8. C8 started broadcasting in Hungary on 1 April 2014, and in Romania, Czech Republic and Slovakia on 5 May 2014, but in Hungary and Romania, it is also defunct.
