AnimeCore Classics

AnimeCore 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 having aired on most other Aura networks until 2020).

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.

In April 2020, Firebasket made a proposal to split SurgeAnime Classics into two blocks: a block airing from 6AM to 12PM on SurgeAnime Action, and a Saturday-night block on BXX. The split occurred on April 27th, 2020.

On April 5th, 2021, the SurgeAnime Action block was re-launched as AnimeCore Classics, with the Beta block following suit on April 10th/11th, 2021.
