Ah, "World Masterpiece Theater". One of the few anime series I used to follow. This contains many anime entries based on selected classic Western literature like "Dog of Flanders", "Anne of Green Gables" and "Tom Sawyer". Being one of the well-known anime series produced by Nippon Animation, they're popular in Europe, Middle East and Asia back then. I remember many of its entries were aired on some local TV channels in our country since 90s. I admit I didn't appreciate these kind of shows when I was a kid, probably because I was more focused on watching Western cartoons. I only looked back at it when I was an adult and boy they're good. I've seen most of its entries (local TV channel and the internet) for the past several years and I appreciate them. Too bad Nippon Animation has no interest in continuing making animations like these because they're not on demand in the anime market these days. It takes more than a miracle to see new shows for the series.
Have you guys watch this series before? What are some of your favorite shows from this series?
