Many of the following series used to be aired frequently onS.C.I.F.I. World, a daytime programming schedule started on in July 2000, that divided its marathons into five days that concentrated on five particular themes:
Superheroland,Creatureland,Intergalacticland,Fantasticland andInhumanland.

For most of the 1990s, Syfy showedanime films, although they had to be edited in order to be shown on basic cable. The channel's longest running animation block, referred to as Saturday Anime, aired at the start of the channel's broadcast day each Saturday morning. In 2007, Syfy reintroduced anime to their programming via the "Ani-Monday" block. In 2008 the block was shifted to Tuesday; in 2010, to Thursday; and after June 9, 2011, disappeared abruptly, along with the Anime section of the Syfy.com website.[10][11] Licensors that have supported this block included Streamline Pictures, Central Park Media, Manga Entertainment USA, and Geneon Entertainment USA among others. The licensor that has aired it on the block is shown after the title.
