Art Both have absolutely beautiful animation. Both were made in the 70s so that both have the same pretty hand drawn animation style of the 70s/80s/90s. Though “Akage no Anne”’s animation is more focused on it’s realistic background, while “Ie Naki Ko” animation is focused on its moving parts and different angles. Story Although the path the protagonists take are very different both stories focus are coming of age/bildungsroman stories about orphans. Both main characters also have similar personalities; they are very kindhearted, have big imaginations, are very talented, and likable. However their talents differ with “Akage No Anne”’s protagonist talented in her studies/acting while “Ie Naki Ko”’s protagonist is talented in music. Additionally both anime are based on books (Anne of Green Gables and Nobody’s Boy) set in historical time periods. “Akage No Anne” set in rural Canada where “Ie Naki Ko” is set all over France.

Both have the same art director Kobayashi Shichiro, the art quality, sequences, and angles are all very similar, however Angel's egg has a very dark monotone coloring, and Nobody's boy Remi is very colorful. They were both produced around the same time 70s/80s, so they have the old animation style of hand drawn backgrounds and sequences. Other then the animation, the two differ majorly on story and mood.
