Anime Mornings

Anime Mornings was a weekday-morning block on The CW that ran from January 2009 to July 2015; the block was replaced by the block The CW Cartoons the next year. Unlike The CW's other weekday-morning blocks, the block was aimed at adults, though several anime were edited for content to comply with broadcast standards. The block exclusively broadcast anime, mostly from TV Tokyo; the few series broadcast on the block that didn't originate from TV Tokyo were dubbed by Jetix Cymru. Programming was provided by Jetix Cymru and TV Tokyo. The first anime shown on the block was Dragon Quest. Anime set to be shown on the block that does not already have a dub would be dubbed by Jetix Cymru and would otherwise be edited-for-content. Several anime that aired during the block aired on Cartoon Network concurrently with or prior to their broadcast on Anime Mornings.

In 2011, the block was expanded to three hours; this longer runtime would remain until its shutdown in July 2015. Most of the anime licensed exclusively for the block (with the sole exception of Natsume's Book of Friends, which was (and still is) licensed by NIS America at the time of the block's shutdown) remained with Jetix Cymru until NickFamily Licensing picked them up for a temporary license in 2018.

The block was the first, though wasn't expected to be the last, CW block to have exclusively aired anime on the block, as NickGame was planned to become an "AnimeNation" block in 2018, rebooting the name for the first time since AnimeNation properties were rebranded under SurgeAnime. Anime Mornings was relaunched for a single month, carrying programming licensed by NickFamily Licensing rather than Jetix Cymru, in July 2018; like the first block before it, all programming shown on the block not from TV Tokyo was dubbed or licensed by what is now a subsidiary of Aura Television Productions, in this case NickFamily Licensing.

Every Jetix Cymru dub that aired on the block (with the exceptions of Natsume's Book of Friends (whose DVD rights are with NIS America), Sega All-Stars (which hasn't been released to DVD yet), and Dragon Quest (released on standalone DVD)) was released in a Region 1 DVD boxset by NickFamily DVD Distribution on August 1st, 2018, marking their first appearances in America since their CW broadcast (and in the case of Dragonfly Girl, since its re-broadcast on Cartoon Network in 2014). The boxset went out-of-print by December 2020 as Mahoraba: Heartful Days was re-licensed by Discotek Media. Reruns of several Jetix Cymru dubs that originally ran on the block are currently airing on SurgeAnime Network as of September 2018.

In May 2019, Aura Television Productions hinted at another revival of the Anime Mornings block, which would consist entirely of series from AuraAnime Licensing. Like other runs, certain series will be edited to fit broadcast standards. Unlike other runs, the second revival would only air on Mondays through Thursdays due to other blocks taking up Friday mornings. An hour-and-a-half runtime was confirmed on July 27th, 2019, with another two hours-and-a-half on the schedule being used for an extension of Nickelodeon Family on The CW. The new blocks launched on August 26th, 2019.

On March 21st, 2020, it was confirmed that Anime Mornings would be shut down after March 26th, 2020; the weekday Nickelodeon Family on The CW blocks would, however, continue to be broadcast until the end of April 2020.
