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.

Series that highlight the slice of life aspect of a family and explore the relationships within the family

Cottegecore stories harken back to simpler times and a simpler way of living. Many stories center on the idea of a simple life of self-sufficiency in harmony with nature, or characters having adventures in a pretty cottegecore environment. Cottegecore is often influenced by the romanticization of the European countryside in historical times, but may also take place in the woods, mountains, or other rustic locations in any time period. Aesthetics often include rural landscapes, cottages, and other dwellings surrounded by flowers and nature, boys in overalls and girls in old-fashioned dresses, lush forests, and low-tech items and furniture from olden times.

I grew up watching tons of anime, including some supr cool retro re-runs, so why not make a collection of them in one nostalgic stack?
Only problem is... i don't remember the names of half of them 😅
So i need a little help rebuilding my childhood anime portfolio

If you come across this stack and know of any obscure series that ran between the 1960s and early 2000s, please drop a comment in my profile or DM me
And if you discover some anime you like from this stack that'll also make me very happy :)




One particular anime i've been searching for for years, i'll attempt to describe it, it's probably a 70s or 80s anime (maybe 90s), MC fights in rollerskates, and the main 3 bad guys are these little black aliens 2 brothers and a sister
If you find this anime for me i'll be your friend forever!

^^Update: I found it 🤩 The anime is Tondemo Senshi Muteking, and there's 4 aliens

a compilation of anime you could convince your friends to watch, anime that doesn't even look like anime, or anime you grew up with because the concept of anime didn't exist yet. push your friends to watch (or admit they watched) anime :D

This is the first part of a collection of articles where I aim to explore the evolution of anime related music. This part of the list attempts to collect a list of most iconic "Anime Songs".

The term "Anime Songs" used in this list refers to the theme songs that have a strong connection to the series demonstrated by their lyrics and the emotion invoked by the song related to the series. Essentially the song and the lyrics talk about the series or the characters in a direct manner forming a direct link between the performance and the series in question.

These types of theme songs were more common and popular before 1980s. The defining moment that can be said had influence on changing the theme songs away from this model is the popularity of the series "Urusei Yatsura" and how it used to promote a several "tie-up" songs that in contrast to "Anime Songs" by their nature don't necessarily have anything to do with the series, story or the characters.

I will write my thoughts on each of the entries on this list to further explain why I think the series and the theme songs included as a combined package have attained "iconic" status when it comes to the scene of "Anime Songs" in contrast to the "tie-up songs". I will also give a score related on how deeply intertwined I see the series and the performance related to the theme songs as a part of the experience as a whole. The series are ordered based on that score.

The term "iconic" in this list is defined by the popularity and how deeply established the meaning and the lyrical elements of the performance are in addition of them being intertwined with the series as a whole experience.

This list does not include iconic "tie-up songs" or other songs that by their lyrics or meaning do not establish a significant connection to the series, characters or the story.

Rintaro is the pseudonym of Shigeyuki Hayashi, a well-known director of anime. He works frequently with the animation studio Madhouse (which he co-founded), though he is a freelance director not employed directly by any one studio. He began working in the animation industry—at age 17—as an in-between animator on the 1958 film Hakujaden. His works have won and been nominated for multiple awards, including a nomination for Best Film (Metropolis) at the 2001 Festival de Cine de Sitges.

Rintaro is a fan of science fiction, and has been influenced by American westerns, gangster films, film noir, and French films. Additionally, he was influenced by Osamu Tezuka, and worked with him on Kimba the White Lion and Astro Boy. He said that when he was making Metropolis, which was based on Tezuka's manga of the same name, he "wanted to communicate Tezuka's spirit". Rintaro personally introduced the film at the Big Apple Anime Fest in 2001, where it was screened before its theatrical release by TriStar Pictures.

In History New Revolutionary Things Raised any Eyebrow in Peoples that Won't Except Happen, But thanks to the creative mind of some of the most famous Producers/Scriptwriters they have proven the opposite of what could not be done beyond their limits.

Anime that are partially or fully lost.
Notes: I’m not including series that are only missing dubs. I’m not including anime that were previously lost media but have now been found. There are many series that I have been unable to find in the MAL database and therefore have not included. And, lastly, the information in this list is sourced from the Lost Media Wiki.

List of anime that are either partially found/lost, or lost completely. Will not include found anime

At the moment, the info I have isn’t completed, but I’ll still keep this public in case you get interested in searching for these. Will keep updating soon. And if I made any mistakes on here, please let me know so I can fix it. Now then, have fun learning about old lost anime!

You don't always hear the Manga or Light Novel creator's opinion on an adaptation of their work, but there are times where the creator of the original work is dissatisfied with how their work is adapted.
