Programmes
The programming is mostly classic reruns bought from the Club Dorothée era, such as Fist of the North Star, Ranma ½, Moero! Top Striker and Dragon Ball and Dragon Ball Z. However, the channel also shows original programming such as One Piece and Wolf's Rain shown in the original version.
Eventually, Mangas showed several new programmes which are now cancelled, such as Galaxie Mangas (animated by Olivier Ligné and Olivier Fallaix) from 2000 to 2003, Défi Mangas a showcase for short films by young directors, and Mangas à la carte, a programme where viewers could vote for the way they wished the series to develop.
Today, the channel is the only French channel with a bimonthly news magazine entirely dedicated to the world of manga, (paper manga, anime, video games, etc.), which has been broadcast since September 2004 : Actu Mangas. The magazine is co-written by Mylène Patou (for manga) and Cédric Derancourt (for video games) who is also in charge of programming for the channel. The show is also shown in a shortened version on NT1.
