Japanimation was a program that aired on WJYS (Channel 62 in the Chicagoland area), from 11 pm to 1 am on Friday Nights in the early-mid 1990s. It aired various anime movies, usually edited for content, which included scenes of explicit violence, sexual situations, nudity (which was usually hidden behind pixellation), and stronger swear words, as well as for time constraints. In a twist of irony, in lieu of commercial breaks, phone sex advertisements would intersperse within the programming.
