Aura (Japanese TV channel)

''Not to be confused with Aura Japan. For the proposed re-launch, see Aura (Japanese TV channel, second iteration).''

Aura is a Japanese bilingual television channel that launched on June 28, 2015 and features some programming from the US Nickelodeon Family. The channel airs series in both English and Japanese (with either Japanese or English subtitles, depending on the original audio).

On September 20th, 2020, it was announced that Aura International were looking to either shut down or sell off the Japanese feed of Aura, as they were looking to focus their Japanese operations on Studio Aura and its subsidiaries, as well as TV Akihabara.

The channel was eventually sold off to AnimeCore Japan, who announced the channel would be replaced with AnimeCore Cinema. Meanwhile, TV Akihabara would propose a re-launch of Aura as BS Aura.
