Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Made for families. If you loved Anne with an E, start here.
The mood
Feel-good.
The pace
1 season: a few weeks of evenings, short, snackable episodes, about 20 hours in all.
What might put you off
  • No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
  • It's in Japanese, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Made in 1979: an older pace and style.

Anne Shirley, an orphan, is fostered by farmer Matthew Cuthbert and his sister Marilla, who were expecting a boy to be sent them to help with their farm work. They accept Anne, who quickly endears herself to them and to the local villagers.
