![]() To create the perfect Saturday morning anime block, we have to look back at the Saturday morning programming that served as many anime fans’ first taste of Japanese animation. ![]() ![]() Here’s a handy guide - based on the Saturday morning blocks of yesteryear - on how to make your own Saturday morning anime block, one curated perfectly to pique interest in anime, push tastes to new realms, and keep viewers coming back each week, just like your childhood block did for you.
