Anime Digital Network, abbreviated as ADN, is an Anime VOD platform, whose aim is to legally distribute Japanese animation series.

ADN was formed via a merger of KZPlay, belonging to Kazé, and Genzai, belonging to Kana Home Video. As a result of the merger, Kazé takes control of ADN. Kazé’s parent company is Viz Media Europe.

Some simulcast anime are broadcast 14 days after their broadcast in Japan to encourage television broadcast on French channels such as J-One or Mangas.
