Bummed Tenjho Tenge didn’t make the cut.

Some of my absolute all-time favorites in here. This should be fun. Smile

Is this going to be a one episode a week deal (I hope so)? It will be fun to watch along with the reviews.

If this works, maybe ANN should put a few classics into the seasonal review poll every season, so that seasons when new series don't generate enough enthusiasm, one or two classics could be reviewed.

Darn, I was hoping someone would do Glitter Force Doki Doki especially to see if someone can pick out the edits. Sad

I love the Tenjho Tenge manga but that anime is baaaad. (Except for the OP. The OP slaps.)

Excellent list, though KLK being old enough to be considered a "classic" hurts a little. Looking forward to it!

All but 12K are two cour series, so they should be running two episodes per week. 12K might run 3-4 instead, or it might just run longer.

Didn't they do that a few time before? I'm guessing since they stop it didn't get much traction and they're only trying again due to covid.

Is kill la kill already a classic? Was barely 7 years ago.

Maybe I'll give 12 kingdom another go, the first couple of episodes were not very interesting, but I could find a better jumping in point, preferably one were the other people that came with the main character are gone.

From what I remember, the past attempts petered out because of workload issues by the reviewers, not lack of interest.

Oh ho ho, I have been holding on to my Escaflowne blu-rays waaaay too long without watching them, this is a great idea!

Depressingly purchased for a quarter of the price it cost me to have that huge-ass original white Sunrise VHS clamshell release shipped to Canada back in the day.

Yeah, I’m old.

Wolf's Rain is one of my top five favorite anime, and I'm really interested to see how those reviews turn out. I don't think I'd consider it an easy show to write about given how dense and even obtuse it can get. Its one of those shows where I discover new things every time I revisit it, but I never feel dumb for missing certain elements the previous time around.

Also really happy to see long-time favorites Princess Tutu and Escaflowne make it in!

I volunteered for it, but it didn't get enough votes. Sad

I am, however thrilled beyond belief to get to do Princess Tutu and very excited about Escaflowne, which I haven't seen since the infancy of my anime fandom.

Is this the first time a Pokemon series has received a streaming review?

I haven’t watched Escaflowne in almost twenty years and one of the few things I can remember is that there’s a LOT of...

“Van-sama!”
“Hitomiiiiii!”

And the music’s stellar.

They’ve been hit and miss. In some cases, they did weekly classic reviews of shows that weren’t streaming, which likely cut into the readership.

I think the idea is strongly influenced by AV Club’s TV section, which did classic reviews for a number of years, but has largely stopped (TBH, it seems like ANN keeps up with more shows weekly than AVC does nowadays).

I think it just barely preceded ANN starting the whole classic weekly review format, which began in 2014. Plus, if it’s true that most fans only watch anime for a few years, it’s likely that a significant portion of the readership got into anime after KLK came out.
