AnimeCore Classics

AnimeCore Classics is an American television block for AnimeCore Action and BXX. Initially a channel and later a block exclusive to Beta, the block was split into two separate blocks, airing separate programming, beginning April 27th, 2020.

It was renamed to AnimeCore Classics (working title: AnimeCore Retro) on April 5th, 2021.

At Anime Expo 2022, YTV 2 hinted that they would localize the block for Canada as YTV 2 Classic, although future details about the block would be saved for Montreal Comiccon 2022. In 2023, it was announced that YTV 2 Classic would rebrand to a Canadian version of AnimeCore Retro once YTV 2 itself rebrands as Aura.

Trivia

 * Unlike Nickelodeon Family, AuraNightfall, and the block's sister channel AnimeCore Extra, AnimeCore Classics' broadcasts usually do not include AuraAnime's dubs; therefore, if a pre-existing dub did not exist/was not available by the time AuraAnime Licensing rescued a license that was later played on AnimeCore Classics, the block would broadcast the series in Japanese with English subtitles.
 * The block currently airs anime series from the 1960s up to 2014 (as of January 2023), though Jewelpet is currently excluded from the schedule due to the dub having aired on most other Aura networks until 2020 (with the series airing on NF until summer 2021). However, most of the block's anime is from the pre-high-definition era (i.e. before 2007-08).
 * Aura mentioned that anime post-2014 likely won't be able to air on the blocks without the brand undergoing channel drift until around 2025.
