Wait. Is it just me or was the appearance and relationship between Anna, Dianna and Gilbert the inspiration for Anya, Damian and Becky in Spy x Family? I just started watching this show, but the appearances and brief descriptions of the characters seem painfully familiar.

It's based off a book called 'Anne of Green Gables' But maybe they took inspiration I didn't see it myself..

@Redka87 I know it's based on a book. What I'm saying is that the book adaptation was the inspiration.

Are you referring to their personalities and interactions with each other? If so, yes, they do look a bit alike. Now the creation of the character itself (physically) of the anime does not

I never thought of that before. Apparently Anne of Green Gables is incredibly popular in Japan, so it might be.

There’s always a chance, and it’s an interesting connection I didn’t consider. I’ve also seen a similar 3 friend group structures play out in hundreds of other shows, I think it’s just a popular archetype

@LoreofMars Well, Damian and Gilbert aren't directly friends with Anya/Anne. At least not right away.
