AnimeCore Classics

SurgeAnime Classics is an American overnight block for Beta Cartoon that launched as a television channel in 2014. The block currently airs anime series from the 1960s up to the 2000s (currently up to June 2009, though Jewelpet is currently excluded from the schedule due to the dub still airing on most other Aura networks).

In December 2015, Viacom pulled all it's funding from Nickelodeon Plus, and Curiousgorge66 Networks announced that they had acquired the network from their parent company, Curiousgorge66 Studios. Nickelodeon Plus rebranded as AnimeNation+ on December 18, 2015.

In March 2017, the channel began timesharing with RaGE Sports. The channel rebranded as SurgeAnime Classics on December 2nd, 2017 and became a block on October 28th, 2018.

The block currently has non-exclusive deals with AuraAnime Licensing, Nozomi Entertainment, Funimation (though some shows, such as Yu Yu Hakusho, are not part of the agreement), and off-network rights to AnimeWorks for shows produced prior to June 2009. The AuraAnime, Nozomi, and AnimeWorks linear rights are further shared between Aura networks and SurgeAnime Extra.

As of June 2019, most anime titles broadcast on Aura Retro at the time are slated to have their broadcast rights transferred to SurgeAnime Classics.
