Old vs. New

I've been watching a fair amount of anime lately. Unfortunately for the anime blogosphere, I've only been watching classics.

For some reason, most anime blogs seem obsessed with the new. They'll mention a classic occasionally, but the vast majority of anime and manga being reviewed are current releases.

Nothing wrong with reviewing current releases, of course. It's just a shame that so many classics are ignored.

How many anime sites have reviews of:


 * Legend of the White Serpent
 * Mobile Suit Gundam
 * My Neighbor Totoro
 * Lupin III
 * Bubblegum Crisis
 * Ranma 1/2
 * Tenchi Muyo!

It's gotten me to thinking that maybe that would be a useful focus for Otaku, No Video. Tell folks about the classics. Focus on filling in fans about the great anime from the past.
