The idea is certainly outdated now, so an anime series looks more like a cash-in than a story worth telling. Which has to be more than a concept for mass production. The chauvinism and outdated assumptions of older stories being directly adapted for modern viewers (Hathaway, LOGH) sadly can't be called outdated as so many modern stories are no better or worse.
