| They finally remembered they made an OP and ED and it was supposed to be a part of the show’s runtime. Quite typical but it looks great. Btw, it’s just one thing after another for Marilla since Anne came right? It’s testing her patience but yeah hey, that’s what kids do to you right? Lol. I’m more surprised by the fact, and finding it quite hilarious too, how Anne thought getting chewed out once is better than getting locked up inside the room, as you see, a picnic is much BIGGER deal after all lol. Quite realistic story, but I’m glad Marilla found the broach eventually. Would’ve been uber awkward to confess that the story was made up, if somehow Marilla didn’t find the broach lol. That aside, things may look like they’re going a tad fast, but seeing Anne making friend(s) on her own, and enjoying her life to the fullest makes up for all of that stuff. Btw I said enjoy, but a lot of things happen when you’re a kid right.. moreover a kid going to school that is. That teacher was unnecessarily strict on Anne, I mean sir, you can see it wasn’t her fault at both the occasions, but yeah, because the mister was strict, it really did upset Anne in more ways than one. She’ll learn, I’m sure, but yeah, another good follow-up episode. |

| The OP/ED finally shows up, and Tota's OP is quite the lovely one, while Laura day romance's ED is beautifully handdrawn. Anne being allowed to attend a Sunday school picnic, but Marilla having her Church amethyst brooch lost pressures Anne all the more to confess her own wrongdoing in the same dramatic way as possible, only worsens the relationship between Matthew's wife and the orphan to dismiss the picnic outright. But for that "falsehood" of an apology to be rehearsed the same and Marilla having found her brooch from a missed clothing, the picnic is still a go alright to spend time with Diana and the rest of the girls at the Lake of Shining Waters. At least Marilla found interest in Anne and her shticks, and that's better all the more. It's Anne's first day in school, and her performing as expected impresses the class. And the girls being all in love and awe towards the handsome but playful Gilbert Blythe, but that Anne pays no attention to him, until Mr. Phillips saw the commotion and egregiously left out the e in her name. As if that's not enough, the constant insults in school only made matters worse by her volunteering to quit. Anne needs to control her temper, that's for sure. But given her upbringing...this is to be expected. |

| It's great to know that Naoko Yamada is in charge of directing and storyboarding both the OP and ED , it definitely shows through the heavy emphasize on intricate and lively character movements. https://reddit.com/r/anime/comments/1k1amwd. Other than that I don't really like the kind of songs that being used in both of them. They are too cheerful and modern to my liking unlike the OG with the use of more grandeur feeling or orchestra which are more fitting since it's a classic literature after all. I remember the missing brooch drama is equivalent of two episodes in the old anime. Damn son this just feels very rushed and the supposed emotion in there just fell flat for how rushed this was lmao. I was really impressed with how fast Anne was running through her story in this version. I never know she got a strong pair of feet this whole time. |

| Marilla and Matthew both dearly care for Anne, and it was good to see that things ended on a positive note after finding the brooch. Gilbert went too far to get Anne’s attention, but I think she shouldn’t have reacted so strongly—especially when it’s not the first time she’s been called that. Even when he apologized, she didn’t care. And the “e”—I get that she prefers her name spelled that way, but that’s not her official name tho. The teacher making her sit with a boy was definitely taking it too far. Anne’s cheerful and lively nature is what makes her lovable, but her bratty and overreactive side makes her unlikable as well. |

| Ok, I have seen enough this is my favourite anime of this season. Although the bar is quite low as the season is dry af for me. I'm glad atleast there is one series which I can look forward to every week. I don't care if it is fast pace compared to OG series and the books, this one is good in it's own way. In this episode I especially like how caring Marilla is. |

| The OP and ED are here at long last, and I’m ngl they may be some of the bests of the season, the ED in particular was really beautiful with both the song and visuals, I love that hand drawn goodness. I really liked the first bit of this episode, it started with Anne’s excitement for a picnic but that quickly took a nosedive when she was suspected of losing Marilla’s brooch. To me it seemed like Anne was telling the truth the first time, but Marilla was confident she was lying, and I can’t really blame her, it is a kid thing to do something bad and not tell the truth, but as it turns out Marilla was wrong and it wasn’t Anne after all. They kinda threw me off here with Anne’s overly dramatic story of how she lost it, but nah Anne is just a really good storyteller and fooled me for a minute lol, this also goes to show the adult isn’t always right, but I’m glad things are good between Anne and Marilla again, and that picnic afterward was as sweet as sweet can be, the ice cream reaction was especially cute. And the school bit (what a beautiful location it’s in) went about as I expected it to, everything was so perfect on the first day and it was obvious that something would bring it all down, but even knowing it was coming, it was so fun to watch Anne blow up at Gilbert, bro didn’t realize he picked on her biggest insecurity, being her red hair, and paid the price lol. But he didn’t seem like a bad lad, he was genuinely sorry afterwards too, so I’m hoping to see them make up eventually, but first Anne needs to get through that classic phase of never wanting to go back to school lol. |

KANLen09 said: only worsens the relationship between Matthew's wife Marilla is Matthew's sister, not his wife. |
The boys who spent their study break on having crickets race(?) are such a vibe lol Anne's first impression of Gilbert couldn't've been any rougher but I really appreciate his immediate attempt to defend her for her outburst that he acknowledges he caused, not to mention Marilla admitting her own mistake earlier on too. Kinda sad we had to end on a bit of a downer note this time. |
| I have a feeling that Anne have a bigger forehead in the OP than in the episode. So the plan is adapt, girl to lady. Gone from misunderstanding to making friends to have a bad time at school. Range |
 |
That was unexpected use of violence, coupled with the deception she used earlier, she make a good gang leader. Marilla better step up. |
| Wow. The OP is simply gorgeous. It might be my favorite OP of the season. Heck, this anime might become my favorite anime of the season too. Tho my only complaint was that it showed Anne aged up. I probably should've expected it considering the length of the series. But I still wish the OP didn't spoil it. Since Anne of Green Gables is pretty popular in Japan, I guess they expected people to already be familiar with it. The ED is great too. I thought Anne would be a great novelist because of how much she yaps. But seems like she'd be a great theater performer too. She's so dramatic lol. I was expecting a kind of Anya and Damian type of relationship from Anne and Gilbert. But Gilbert doesn't seem like such a bad guy. It's Anne who went too far. She really needs to learn to control her temper. Or it might sour all her relationships. The next episode looks serious from the preview. |

| Anne Shirley OP is here finally and the visuals are so pretty. Thank you Yamada Naoko. Masterful job, as usual. Best episode yet for me, Anne is so damn dramatic but we love her for it 😭 Marilla NEEDS to get Anne in an acting troupe desperately because this girl can act her ass off lmao. That brooch “confession” was so good, she’s such a fool. She did the same thing when she fake apologised to the old lady the other day. You know how good an act you gotta put on for your parent/guardian to relent and just let you go to the picnic anyway lmao. I love seeing Anne making friends around town and just having a normal childhood. The smile she had when Jean said her nose was pretty was so pure. She’s got so much insecurity about her appearance so that’s massive. She’s got a family, girlfriends.. now it’s time to introduce the missing piece, the love interest. Even having no familiarity with the series I instantly knew Gilbert was gonna be into Anne because of how she doesn’t care about romance or fawn over him lmao. NOT ANNE BREAKING THE MINI CHALKBOARD OVER HIS HEAD AND GILBERT FALLING IN LOVE 😭 It was love at first abuse for him I guess lmaoo but cmon you do not insult a ginger’s hair, man. Anne’s so dramatic for wanting to quit school over that. I reckon Gilbert will probably come directly to the house to apologise and she’ll realise he ain’t so bad? Noticing some signs of Anne being neurodivergent/having ADHD too 🤔 explains a lot of her behavior! Great ep, can’t wait for next one |

| Suddenly a lot of oujo-sama vibes. I understand that this is basically a remake of an old shoujo anime and that's how Japanese people view western traditional culture, it was still a bit unusual considering the setting. However, so far I like it. Even if Gilbert has a lot more bishonen vibes than I expected from him. @VivaceRex This explains why the opening focuses more on Anne's adolescent moments with Diana than her budding romance with Gilbert. Classic Naoko Yamada, lmao. @0451 Jokes aside, modern Damian turned out to be closer to the old "girls vs boys" mentality than Gilbert from the Victorian novel. I even wonder how authentic the characters of Anne and Gilbert were for the time, or if this was a completely created concept from scratch by Montgomery. @FarCritical What do you want, it's a Victorian school from the time of Tom Sawyer, lol. With all the things like slates instead of notebooks or the shocking idea of sitting next to a classmate of the opposite sex. Although to be honest, I'm surprised that there are so many children in their provincial village, despite the fact that their homes are separated from each other by Texas ranches or Siberian camps. |

| So much happened this episode, I somewhat understand the complaints about the pacing of this adaptation. It still feels tight and efficient, so the characters and moments are landing, but I do wish they let the story breathe a tiny bit... Maybe like 15% slower. |
| Oh I feel bad for Anne once again :( She had to lie about losing the amethyst collar so that she could go to the picnic with her friends, at least it got resolved when the amethyst collar was found so obviously Anne didn't lose it in the lake. Also it started well for her at school making even more friends and proving her intelligence but that Gilbert guy mocked her and even though he didn't want to cause any harm it's frustrating for Anne especially now with the teacher punishing her for other things... she doesn't want to go to school anymore, which is obviously not an option for her, I hope things will be quickly resolved :( |
 |
| Pacing is kinda weird compare to OG but definitely aots for me. Love it when anne yapping a lot and marilla is the goat |
I didn’t like the adaptation of this frame! I wish it were more similar to the classic version.  |
I love slice-of-life works.  |
| Peace was never an option. |
| i'm watching both old and new anime at the same time, in 3 episodes they covered 14 ep of the old anime lmao, with this pacing it will end by ep 12, so how in the hell is this 24 episodes long. |
| another great ep Anne is really one of my best girl, I really love her E3:9/10 |

| Wow, that teacher is such a jerk. Punishing Anne two times when neither was her fault?? Poor girl. I get why she wouldn’t want to go back there. This anime is such a joy to watch, and I love the OP and ED. Can’t wait for the next episode :) |

| @nanashi796 The new version adapts the first three novels into 24 episodes, while the OG adapted the first novel into 50 episodes, which explains the fast pacing of the latest version. |

| @Supercuecaaa The news that announce the adaption mentioned that they are adapting the pillars of the three novels: - Anne's new family bond with Matthew and Marilla - Anne's friendship with Diana - Anne's romance with Gilbert And the copyright line included "Anne of Green Gables" "Anne of Avonlea" and "Anne of the Island"  |
| Marilla is so much softer in this series. In the original I didn’t like her until much later into the series. I can’t tell if they made her more likable or if I’m more willing to accept her strictness this time. When it comes to this iconic scene with Gilbert my opinion is definitely still “get his ass!!” |
   Did you hear me? I said I'm gonna do my best!! ☆ |
| It was quite obvious that Anne was lying about her "confession" in order to be able to go to the picnic, so I'm glad they didn't stretch that segment any further. Her acting was spot-on lmao. I do wish she at least thought to offer to help Marilla search for her brooch though. Ah, the classic "popular-guy-aka-love-interest-trying-to-get-the-attention-of-the-"odd"-girl-gone-wrong" trope. I'm impressed Gilbert didn't seem to feel much from getting smashed in the head with the mini chalkboard like that, although I suppose his shock of Anne's outburst negated that. I feel bad for Anne and how unfairly the professor treats her, but her reactions are oftentimes very dramatic and over-the-top. Quite realistic for a girl her age, though, so I can't blame her much for that. Just hope she learns that there's some things she'll have to deal with since the world isn't full of sunshine and rainbows like in her dreams, but also that she'll still be true to herself. |

@nanashi796 I haven't watched the OG anime, but 14 episodes of the old anime in just 3 episodes!? What kind of pacing did the original anime have? .-. The anime certainly is a little fast-paced, but every episode basically covers like 2 little stories; I really can't imagine how the OG anime turned one of those little stories into 2-3 episodes.
| @Fenlix more dialogues, more landscapes and anne imagination, skipped stuff, slower pacing, for example all ep 3 of the old anime was adapted in 2 minutes in the new one, old anime adapt only the first book in 50 ep, new anime will adapt 2-3 books in 24 episodes. |
nanashi796Apr 22, 6:08 AM
| The real test is always the portrayal of Gilbert, the girls fangirling and parting the road for him was a bit much though lol. My favorite portrayal of Gilbert is still probably in Anne with an E (TV adaptation of the book). This series feels a little rushed, lots of cut dialogue unfortunately, and imo Ann's portrayal is almost too wholesome/pretty in this adaptation (shoujo-fied). The characters don't really feel that distinct. I'm looking forward to the later episodes when she's a bit older and we get to explore her in later teenager years. Buuuut despite my gripes with the pacing, I'm happy this is getting a new audience. Honestly still a classic :) |
