World Masterpiece Theatre is a Japanese TV anime staple that showcases an animated version of a different classical book or story each year. It originally aired from 1969 to 1997 and then resumed in 2007. WMT series were originally produced by Mushi Production and Zuiyo Eizo, and then by the latter's successor Nippon Animation, and originally air primarily on Fuji Television.

The series has been known by various different names over the years, often reflecting changes to the sponsors, but "World Masterpiece Theatre" is the name most commonly used by viewers. Nippon Animation's official English name for the series is The Classic Family Theater Series.

During this parts period mecha reigned supreme. At the same time moe was being formed leading to moe, ecchi, and ero tropes still in use today. This parts stand-out year for me is 1983 (Captain Tsubasa, Barefoot Gen, Votoms, Cat's Eye, Golgo 13, Dunbine, Creamy Mami, Kinnikuman, Stop! Hibari-kun!, Igano Kabamaru, Lady Georgie, Dallos)
