Note that I do not mean non-Japanese origin, but rather non-Japanese sourced, so an anime whose source material is foreign to the people adapting it. An example would be Powerpuff Girls Z or Moomin

Mine would be Romeo's Blue Skies (I don't even like the original Kinderbuch but this one is very heartfelt) and Anne of Green Gables.

Yeah probably Cyberpunk Edgerunners, though I do enjoy Anne of Green Gables and Gankutsuou is great. I also really enjoyed Spider Riders, a Canadian/Japanese co-production, that was done when I was a kid. I don't know if it's good at all, need to do a rewatch some day.

I also believe Future Boy Conan would count too? The original work was inspired by a Western novel. That one would be high up there.

I don't think I ever liked an anime with a non-Japanese source other than Edgerunners.

For donghua I like the Ravages of Time and Huang Yam adaptations.

For aeni I liked Beauty Water.

It's an easy answer for me as the only three in my Top 50 are one which you mention, OP, Akage no Anne, at #18.

Then Gankutsuou at #38.

And finally, another World Masterpiece Theater series, Ie Naki Ko Remy (the 1996 iteration of the story as opposed to the original 1977 Ie Naki Ko), at #42.

So two based on French novels and one based on a Canadian novel.

I love the Deltora Quest anime as much as the books even with its inferior art style.

I'd have loved for the anime to adapt more of the story. Did you also read Star of Deltora? It's hard to find here in America because the author is not as popular as she used to be. I only barely managed to snag The Three Doors trilogy.

I've heard Star reveals that Rowan of Rin is set in the same world, though it might not be important to the story. Rowan is another series I grew up reading.

The Three Doors trilogy is set on another island continent in the same world, and has more meaningful connections to Deltora.

hmm i guess it's gankutsou. not really familiar with the source / outsource information but the art style usually is a bit lacking added with rushed adaptation will bring it down further. like solo leveling mc became strong in one season but i guess it was on me for having a high expectation.
