On April 2011, Viz Media Europe subsidiary Kazé launched the Anime on Demand in the United Kingdom and Ireland, in collaboration with British anime distributors Manga Entertainment, Beez Entertainment and MVM Entertainment. Initially hosted by Anime News Network, Version 1.0 of the site, hosted by Viz Media Europe, launched as an open beta in December 2011.
In December 2013, Anime on Demand announced it was closing operations in the United Kingdom and Ireland, and was to be incorporated into Animax UK.
