L. M. Montgomery’s 1908 novel “Anne of Green Gables” has gained much love in Japan over the years. First translated into Japanese in 1952 by Hanako Muraoka, it has been a part of school curriculums ever since. There is even a replica of the Green Gables farm at an amusement park in Hokkaido. The story of a plucky and imaginative orphan sparked with the Japanese public. In 1979, Nippon Animation produced “Akage no An” or “Red-haired Anne”. This was a 50-episode series directed by future Studio Ghibli founder Isao Takahata. It was also a hit and has appeared more than once on lists of the public’s favourite anime. “Anne Shirley”, produced by The Answer Studio and directed by Hiroshi Kawamata, is a new anime adaptation that looks to bring the classic story to life once more.
