The hype is real excited for people who would never watch a '79 anime to finally have the chance to see a wonderful story.
| @Ambeon Hopefully it gets people to read the books too. I actually need to read the others, beyond the first book. I saw some episodes of the old TV drama where Anne is a teacher though I never read Anne of Avonlea. Would be cool if they adapted the other books too. |

| Two cours? Will they be able to adapt the entire book with this number of episodes? @BilboBaggins365 The main thing is the books, and not the last life action series. I heard that this is a classic “content for a modern audience”. |

| @RobertBobert I mean it's not an especially long book, however IDK lol. Book to anime adaptions are tough, and I haven't read the book nor watched the anime since I was in HS, so my memory is kinda fuzzy on the pacing. |
| So far so good. What I'm seeing in art direction is what we needed; more Heisei charm which was feared lost for good with the onset of the Isekai-Reiwa era. |

| mmm... ok, I guess, but needs more forehead. |
