Animax Hungary is a Hungarian anime television channel, and the local branch of Sony Corporation's international Animax network. Animax Hungary and much of its other Central-European counterparts replaced the A+ channel in Hungary, Romania, the Czech Republic and Slovakia on April 11, 2007. This was Animax's first major expansion to Europe.[1][2][3] Its current programs are available either dubbed to the local languages of each country, or in Japanese audio with local subtitles.

A+ (Anime+, Anime Plus) was originally launched in December 4, 2004, and was broadcast in Hungary, Romania, the Czech Republic and Slovakia either via cable or satellite TV systems. It was acquired by Sony Pictures Television International (SPTI) in October 2006. All programs prior to this acquisition were only dubbed to the local languages.
