The series has 1 source that doesn't show the notability of the topic. The series has 1 source in the article and a few others in the previous AfD that don't support the article. Furthermore, the article is chalked full of OR and finally it appears to be a
WP:POVFORK from
anime
WP:UNDUEly emphasizing the importance of late night anime over other types without the sources to back it up. EDIT: There are a couple more sources in the previous AFD found, but they don't really demonstrate the notability of this getting a seperate article which is essentially a POVFORK even with the 2-3 other sources found. Furthermore, much of the info is still OR. Even with those sources they could not support an entire article and its likely at this point no new sources will be found, even if they were, there is no indiciation why from any of those sources Late night anime is so special that it needs such
in depth coverage compared to anime in general.
EDIT: The article is also essentially a
WP:NEOlogism which is normally not kept.∞

"Many of the short "TV series" sold to the American market began as late-night programs airing long past midnight, and can have content designed to match. Primetime television in Japan has become increasingly censorious since the mid-1990s, when controversial episodes of EVANGELION were broadcast without prior executive approval. The resultant timidity on the part of broadcasters has played into the hands of the late-night shows and cable networks, with shows such as GANTZ enjoying two distinct existences: one in a widely available but edited form and another i n a more graphic version requiring cable subscription or DVD rental. In the case of COWBOY BEBOP, the main story arc was only seen on WOWOW and DVDs-the version seen on terrestrial TV was missing 14 episodes."
