◇Comment from Yoshikazu Beniya, program manager
In an age where nearly 50 new anime titles are produced per season, TV Tokyo is also living up to its reputation as "TV Tokyo of Anime" by delivering popular titles in powerful broadcast times. Meanwhile, while all classic anime from the past can be enjoyed through streaming, this project will take the opportunity to celebrate a variety of TV Tokyo anime, both past and present, by broadcasting on terrestrial TV. The first episode of "Neon Genesis Evangelion" is significant because it will be broadcast on the TV Tokyo network now, marking the 30th anniversary of its broadcast. While the other shows may have different reasons for celebration, the lineup is one that will make you want to watch them now that they are broadcast on the TV Tokyo network. We hope viewers will join us in enjoying these 10 anime series!
