I'm all for World Masterpiece Theater revivals.

This came out of nowhere! Very happy about though. Just hope it'll be in good hands. No chance it'll match the brilliance of the 1979 anime, but I'm super biased towards that one.

Pink haired Gilbert isn't a choice I would've made, but okay.

Even though this is well worn ground, it's cool to see a new general audience adaptation of vintage western literature. Hopefully this does well enough to provoke NHK into making their own WMT.

A very surprising announcement. I really like that old show and will surely watch this new one. Who knows, if this show is a success, maybe we will get some World Masterpiece Theatre Blu Rays for the original and Heidi. Discotek, are you listening?

What?! Well this came out of nowhere! I definitely plan on watching it, even though I doubt it'll be as good as the 1979 anime.

Yeah Discotek are you listening? Hell, let's get AnimEigo on this train as well! Gkids would be nice too!

This came out of nowhere and I could not be any happier! (well, maybe a little...)

That's awesome! I love Anne!

Also looks like they're going to adapt all the novels judging by the plot description, so that's cool.

I was thinking the very same thing -- I would absolutely love to watch the original WMT adaptation before this one. My wallet is open...Discotek, Animeigo!
