Whenever i see Sony yay it reminds me of the fact how they with hidden motive suddenly they announced live to replace Animax
with yay , they could have launched it as separate kids channel.
Animax channel will always be remembered for being best animated /anime channel which showed minimal ads , people watched and started learning to watch shows with subtitles and bringing awesome anime/Japanese animated shows which cant be imagine to be aired now - example - Yu Yu hakusho , Ranma 1/2 , kindaichi, Assassination's Classroom, Re-Zero, Sket Dance, City Hunter, Bleach , My Hero Academia, One Punch Man , for bringing the concept of airing shows same week as japan in kids /teen animation segment or in Indian TV for first time even before colors infinity and continuously showing shows every month and new episodes everyday and repeats on next day and binge of week shows on weekend compared to other animation channel in India which rarely brought new shows or once in a while which kept repeating old episodes. even now all kids channels mostly repeat old episodes and doesn't bring new shows regularly in each month .They even used to mention the last episode when they used to air so that viewer were not confused when show would end , which is sadly not followed in any channel till now. they even showed jap-pop music in between breaks and interview and concert with Japanese music artists and cosplayers.
