+Ultra (プラスウルトラ?, stylized 『 +Ultra 』) is a Fuji TV programming block dedicated to anime and broadcast every Wednesday late night/Thursday morning from 00:55 to 1:25.

Overview

The announcement of the block came on March 8, 2018, and the debut came in October 2018 with its first anime Ingress: The Animation. According to +Ultra and Noitamina producer Mori Akitoshi from Fuji TV, the programming block is kind of a brother to the Noitamina block due to being a unique vision of an anime block much like it. In the announcement, it was said that the block was made due to the diversification of viewing media with anime being shared around the world via streaming services, which is why the block is based on the concept of spreading anime culture overseas with high-quality animation for the world.[1][2][3]

While not being officially confirmed as a partnership, every anime on the block so far has been exclusive to the streaming service Netflix after the anime aired on the block at Fuji TV. Similar to other anime series licensed to Netflix where the original broadcast is on TV, the episodes are out in Netflix Japan days after the initial broadcast and for overseas audiences, the anime are out months after the initial broadcast due to Netflix dubbing the series for release around the world.
