In August 2026, the free-TV channel ProSieben MAXX will present a diverse program of six anime films as part of its "Anime Night." The selection ranges from action-packed series finales and dramatic family stories to humorous films about the film industry. All works will be broadcast in German dubbed versions and will be available for free on the Joyn media library after their TV premiere.
The kickoff takes place on Friday, August 7, at 8:15 PM with "Pompo: The Cinéphile" (2017). Directed by Takayuki Hirao, the film is set in the fictional Nyallywood and tells the story of the talented B-movie producer Joelle "Pompo" Pomponette, who unexpectedly hands over the director's chair for a new film to her assistant Gene—while discovering actress Natalie in the process. Immediately following at 10:00 PM, "Attack on Titan – The Final Chapters: Special 1" (2023) will have its TV premiere. The 61-minute film is the first part of the spectacular series finale: Eren Jaeger has unleashed the power of the Titans and marches toward Marley with an army of Colossal Titans—former friends and enemies must unite to save the world.
One week later, on August 14, the channel will air the mystery film "The Case of Hana & Alice" (2015) starting at 8:15 PM. Directed by Shunji Iwai, this anime is a prequel to his live-action film "Hana & Alice" and follows the student Alice, who is bullied at a new school and suddenly finds herself confronted by the ghost of a murdered "Judas." At 10:05 PM, "Attack on Titan – The Final Chapters: Special 2" (2023) follows as the second part of the series finale. With a runtime of 85 minutes, it forms the emotional climax of the story: the Survey Corps desperately tries to stop Eren's campaign of destruction while Armin searches for a way out.
On August 21, at 8:15 PM, Mamoru Hosoda's award-winning drama film "Wolf Children" (2012) will be shown. The 117-minute film tells the touching story of the student Hana, who falls in love with a wolfman and has two children with him. After the father's death, Hana moves with the children to the countryside to give them a free life—a sensitive parable about family and identity.
The series concludes on August 28 at 8:15 PM with "Naruto Shippuden: The Movie" (2007), the first theatrical film of the second Naruto series. In the plot, the world is threatened by a resurrected demon, and only the shaman Shion can seal it—but she prophesies Naruto's death. Despite the dark prediction, the young ninja fights resolutely against fate.
With this August program, the free-TV channel ProSieben MAXX continues its tradition of regularly showcasing anime highlights on Friday evenings. As usual, all films will be available for free on Joyn after their broadcast.
