Anne Shirley cannot stop imagining. To everyone who knows “Anne of Green Gables” and those who do not. Scheduled to air every Saturday at 6:25 PM on NHK E-TV starting April 5, 2025. © “Anne Shirley” Production Committee
Isn’t it the case that anything that has changes from the original work gets complaints?
Why did you mistakenly think there are no strong original fans of Anne of Green Gables?
I think it’s impressive that they are reanimating it, considering there’s no way to compete with Isao Takahata and Hayao Miyazaki.
Dyeing Gilbert’s hair a reddish color is really lacking in sense.
It’s fine to try to arrange it to match modern sensibilities.
If the intention of the production is not successfully conveyed to the audience, it means it has failed.
>>5
The story says that the red-haired girl is not wearing pink clothes in the original text.
I felt a sense of excitement that the staff seems to not have read the original work more than a modern sensibility.
>>5
A few years ago, there was a Canadian-produced drama that featured an open-minded lady hosting wild parties for LGBTQ people, interactions with former Black slaves, and the persecution of Indigenous people, which was all quite chaotic.
>>159
This is aligned with the direction of the black princess.
The people making anime are busy to begin with.
I think it’s understandable that there’s no time to look at the original works one by one.
There are the most passionate anime fans in the world among Japanese people…
>>133
This is how we get anime with lines that are shouted but sound mumbled and unclear…
Isn’t it embarrassing for adults to get angry over children’s anime?
What’s important is not appearance, but what we can convey to the children, isn’t it?
I guessed it was made by Fuji TV.
>>11
It says E-Tele.
I guess there are no longer any anime staff in the Japanese anime industry who can create something like the World Masterpiece Theater anymore, probably because of the decrease in children’s anime…
Isn’t it a natural outcome for fans of the original work to complain about adaptations that seem to be made by people who haven’t read the source material?
There are stories like Sexy Tanaka in anime too, right…?
>>14
Rather, there are probably fewer anime that are made exactly as the original work.
>>35
Recently, there have been things like Demon Slayer, JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, and the remake of Dragon Quest: Dai’s Adventure.
It gives the impression that following the original work will become more popular.
>>37
No, those guys are also quite filled with original anime content…
I should have made it a black person.
It seems that the source material for the anime adaptation is over a thousand pages long, so busy animators definitely can’t read such a long story.
The guy who’s making fun of redheads has red hair himself; it’s definitely turning into a surreal joke.
The planning shouldn’t be done a few weeks in advance; the character design staff should have had time to recognize it…
It’s true that everyone involved in making it doesn’t have time to read, but couldn’t at least the director have read it?
I thought the pace was kind of fast at the point of the first episode, but are they really going to cover Ann’s affection in all 24 episodes?
>>21
Is this a red-haired Anne RTA?
>>33
It’s Slow Montgomery.
It’s slowly Murakami Hanako.
Anne of Green Gables RTA is starting!
Don’t pay attention to every single fan’s voice.
I should have invited Yuko Matsumoto as a supervisor.
>>23
Who?
I’m watching a rerun on MX for the first time in a while, but I wonder if this would resonate with people today…
Takashi Natsuko, known for her prolific work, has focused solely on this project for 2024, so the director and the animators should have made time to read the source material more thoroughly.
>>152
There’s no doubt it will be watched at double speed…
I don’t know the original work, but maybe Anne looks like a very emotionally unstable child because the pacing is too fast.
>>28
The child gets emotionally unstable because they lash out and hit with a stone tablet.
If you haven’t read the original, the original is Anne of Green Gables, you know?
>>29
I’ve never heard of such a light novel, but is it an internal Kinokuniya ranking?
>>34
I slipped a little.
>>29
Isn’t it only natural for original fans to complain about adaptations when it seems like the creators haven’t read the source material?
>>142
The main heroine features a stereotypical portrayal that is about the color red.
I’m watching the re-broadcast on MX for the first time in a while, but I wonder if this would be well-received in modern times…
Older anime spends entire episodes with the story still not reaching the point where Anne gets home, so Generation Z cannot keep up with this slowness.
It’s cleaning time.
Now is the time for the ultimate uppercut!
It’s Anne of Green Gables, right?
It’s probably better than the DVD anime that used to be at the 100 yen store long ago.
The extension of Demon Slayer is quite terrible, isn’t it?
Adapting a work closely to the original is, rather, something that requires an extraordinary level of obsession to be successful.
Normally, it is reconstructed as an anime.
Is there any hope for future adaptations when it’s clear that the staff hasn’t read the original work?
>>42
I haven’t read the original work, but at least the first episode was really interesting.
There are good original anime works too, so isn’t that nice?
In the original work, the redhead said she wouldn’t wear pink clothes, so what was the intention behind making her wear them in the anime adaptation?
By the way, specifically, what are you being scolded for?
>>44
Gilbert also had his hair dyed red.
>>59
Dark green hair with a hint of green.
>>136
The main heroine is portrayed with a stereotype akin to the color red.
>>18
A convenient excuse saying that I interpreted the original work in my own way.
The current trend is a style that carefully follows the original work while complementing it with clever anime-original content.
>>49
It’s been the best since ancient times to be able to do that.
>>51
No…
Go apologize to Mr. Montgomery in hell!
>>50
Isn’t hell more culturally developed now?
>>50
Don’t send me to hell!
The discussion about whether to include original anime developments or not.
The discussion of whether character interpretation is true to the original work or not.
I think it’s a different matter.
Why are there so many people in the anime industry who try to demonstrate originality using someone else’s original work when they lack the ability to create original content themselves?
There are people in this thread reading it with intense enthusiasm.
Did Professor Montgomery go to hell…?
From the 2000s to around the early 2010s, there were often anime adaptations of original works that had original story developments, right?
I’m doing something like trying to get rid of Candy Candy’s freckles.
Isn’t it the case that if there were no intention behind the pink matter, they wouldn’t do it like this?
Why would I choose the worst color just for the sake of it?
>>63
Clearly, they have Ann herself saying that redheads can’t wear pink, and since this is the key visual, that’s definitely the case.
This is not pink.
Let it pass.
>>64
It’s magenta.
>>66
You were supposed to be dead…
I think the production side believes it’s sufficient if those who haven’t read the original work or watched the old anime can just skim the surface.
This is not Anne of Green Gables; it’s an animated adaptation of the drama, right?
Are you still being complained about?
The image of red-haired people mocking other red-haired people, but I wonder if no one had any doubts about it.
>>70
The script, animation, and voice actors each did their own job.
For example, when the orphan Anne is carrying a heavy leather trunk that was expensive at the time…

Anne sits up straight. Anne is polite. The strength that Gilbert later refers to as “Queen Anne” is present in Anne; she is not just a cute tomboy girl. 13 2395 8238 460,000 Yuko Matsumoto ❤️ First complete translation of “Anne of Green Gables” by Bungeishunju, new publication “Red Hair… 15 hours The carpet bag, being light, inexpensive, and durable, became popular as women’s travel luggage in the 19th century due to its variety of colors and patterns. The leather square trunk was expensive and heavy, meant to be carried by porters. In Takahata’s anime “Anne of Green Gables”, the Canadian film “Anne of Green Gables”, and the Green Gables exhibition, Anne’s bag is a carpet bag.
The character described in the original work with black eyes and black hair has green eyes.
Ann can’t even imagine wearing pink clothes herself… yet she’s talking about pink clothes.
Gilbert has red hair or something.
From the moment Anne arrived at the station, she was wearing an apron.
Well, various things.
No complaints about voice actors who are celebrities so far.
I haven’t seen it yet, but I wonder if I’ll receive the usual gray clothes from Marilla and feel despair.
Gilbert, whose hair color was changed to a shade closer to red like Anne’s, which is said to be like a carrot…
Since it’s a red character, should I make the clothes reddish too…
Maybe the staff hasn’t read the original work.
Aren’t you just making it to look good in anime?
If they make it ugly and dirty, the fans of the original might be happy, but it would only please fans of the original.
>>80
Do not change the essence of the work.
For example, if Gundam were made into a live-action adaptation, Char’s mecha would be blue.
However, it would be strange if his nickname remained “Char, the Red Comet,” right?
>>83
In the first place, isn’t it pink despite saying it’s red? That’s a side story.
>>86
The uniform is red…
>>83
Complicated metaphor: Tarako-colored Zaku.
If the purpose of what is being done from top to bottom in any project is not clear, it tends to go in a strange direction.
I don’t feel motivated to watch because Diana’s design isn’t very beautiful, regardless of Ann.
Montgomery committed suicide with sleeping pills, so from a Christian perspective, she ended up in hell.
>>87
Shirason
What is that nose design, Digimon Tamers?
Not all staff members need to read it.
Even junior animators may not know, but the character design…
Even if you don’t understand the character design, it can be avoided if the directing and production know it.
>>90
And since it couldn’t be avoided, does that mean no one really read it properly…?
I was seriously only watching dramas.
I’ve often heard that today’s animators have beautiful visuals but many of them don’t even know the basics of directing.
>>92
It’s already been said since the Showa era that there are hardly any manga artists who can create good storyboards or scenarios, even if they are skilled in drawing.
Basically, those who can create interesting things that are unaffected by appearances have always been very few throughout history.
Isn’t it a pink outfit as an image after being able to affirm oneself?
>>95
It’s not that Ann cannot affirm herself.
“They’re saying, ‘Red hair doesn’t suit pink clothes, just imagining it is terrible…'”
Confident Anne wears clothes in colors that suit her.
Is it that trendy whitewash thing?
>>97
In that case, why not just include Black and Asian people?
>>104
In this era, if it is revealed that people are not being treated as human beings, radical black groups would come firing incendiary rounds.
I wonder how the script will handle Gilbert not having red hair or Diana not having black eyes and black hair.
Did they change the original work that much?
>>99
The part that is fundamental to the work.
>>100
How does the work change when it wavers there?
>>103
Gilbert teased Anne’s red hair.
No longer getting punched.
>>110
That’s a good thing…
>>116
It’s not a good thing; an important aspect of the character relationships is missing!
>>110
Anne will no longer fail at dyeing her hair out of admiration for Diana’s black hair.
>>120
Anne of Green Gables RTA
Diana has dark eyes and black hair in that color, right?
It happens sometimes.
I’m watching it alongside the re-broadcast of the old anime, and this one is good in its own right, with a nice pace.
Over there, it’s more about enjoying a relaxed background, music, and dialogue rather than a story.
Isn’t it supposed to be a real work, and yet there is no historical accuracy?
>>106
The color of the hair is not the issue!
To be honest, I don’t think there are that many people who are really attached to Anne of Green Gables, right?
They’re just flocking around because it seems like they can hit it.
>>107
I think there are more people who have strong preferences than in Mobile Suit Gundam…
Mixing with Uncle Tom
About 15 years ago, they were also doing new works, right?
It was BS, so it didn’t stand out.
Where were you modifying it?
I didn’t realize because I only know the old anime.
>>113
I was slouching while waiting for Matthew at the station.
The original Ann would straighten her back.
When it comes to the modification of preferences that are fundamental to a character’s essence…
For example, it might be like when Doraemon sees a mouse and says, “So cute!”
Well, it’s common to depict black-haired characters with a greenish tint in anime…
But you know…
It’s like Nobita is smart…
Ten years ago, when I was doing Hello! Annie, I hardly saw any strong fans, but was that a good work?
>>119
Many people probably stopped watching because it’s a frustrating and messed-up work.
The opening is bright, but in the story, Anne has no good things in her life and is struck by unreasonable misfortune.
Only sadistic lolicons can see that while sober.
>>119
That was a prequel, so there was a sense of reassurance that it would eventually lead to the main story.
Are you also modifying the old anime?
In short, the key point is the obsession with not wearing colors that don’t suit red hair, which creates a lack of flexibility.
In that case, a different color would be fine too.
>>123
Anne’s clothes don’t use unnecessary fabric like other girls’ outfits.
>>123
It reflects the culture of the time.
Do we really have to go that far to change it to a different color? What’s the point?
It’s just that I put her in pink clothes since she has red hair without thinking anything else.
I think that kind of laziness from the production side is being criticized.
The screen was pretty nice, and she was an interesting woman, so I thought it was quite good.
I don’t know because I haven’t seen the old ones.
Gilbert hitting the blackboard is definitely still memorable!
Gilbert having hair close to red and Diana having hair tinged with green makes me feel like they’re intentionally aiming for that, but it’s definitely aluminum foil level.
I should have to cut my hair short like a boy because I failed at dyeing my hair.
Your bangs are already really short, huh…
>>132
It’s a monk.
I think it’s only natural that there isn’t enough time to look at every original work.
>>133
Well, at least read the original work…
>>133
I don’t think everyone needs to read it.
Someone is needed who can summarize the key points and share the information.
>>133
This is the first time I’ve seen someone who supports the live-action Dragon Ball.
>>133
It’s not like I have no choice; it’s work, after all.
The reddish fur of Gilbert is indeed a topic of discussion, but other than that, I’m not sure if there are really that many differences to list at this point.
In the original work, the red-haired character says they don’t wear pink clothes, so what intention was there behind making them wear it in the adaptation?
I realized that it turned into a diluted digest of the Takahata version by around Part A, so I stopped watching.
It’s blunt, but I think we’re in an era where we can’t thoroughly animate this type of work, and it’s not even what people are asking for.
Since Diana’s character is set as a beautiful girl, the result of Diana’s design becoming normal has made Ann look unattractive, right?
>>143
I think the character design is purely strange there.
I wish they would animate the story of being separated from a firstborn premature baby without asking for more.
A convenient excuse like “I interpreted the original work in my own way.”
>>147
(Not read)
This is not even an interpretation.
I just think they aren’t thinking about anything.
Ah, so what they’ve done is make a black version of a Disney princess.
>>153
There is a political intention on that side, though.
I’m just useless over here.
>>158
The result of character alteration ruining everything is the same.
>>153
That’s done with a clear intention, so I can understand it to some extent… but I don’t agree with it.
I understand that there are points of concern, but the feedback is too detailed and the way it’s said is intimidating.
It’s probably because I only have memories of casually watching anime when I was small.
>>156
In other words, the person who brought it up is a translator, and in the end…
“Let me proofread myself.” That’s the claim.
>>163
By that point, they had already produced quite a bit ahead by the time the broadcast started, so it’s impossible. I think it’s ridiculous.
>>156
The color of the clothes is not that detailed.
>>156
Anime otaku on the message board say things that are much more detailed and irrelevant than this.
The old Ann can be left behind, right?
The runner-up is Priscilla.
Isn’t it good?
It’s Natsuko, you know?
>>165
The quality of the script and the visuals are two different things.
Make Diana fatter.
I’m not saying that modern anime is terrible, but…
I think it’s a tremendous waste that the foundation for creating works of this type and the means to engage viewers with them have disappeared.
>>169
Depicting discriminatory awareness and discrimination that was not perceived as discrimination at the time, while making it clear to the viewers that it was normal back then but is considered discrimination now, requires an incredible level of staff talent, so it definitely needs a significant budget and manpower.
Since we are adapting classics into anime in the Reiwa era, we need to be prepared for that…
I didn’t expect there to be so many An fans… Honestly, it’s fun to see so many intense emotional posts.
Absolutely true.
Well, it’s a famous piece of literature, so it requires more intensity than a poorly drawn manga.
To everyone, whether they know Anne of Green Gables or not, I make such a bold claim.
Were there strong fans when it aired on the morning drama?
“Anne is one of the three major lolicon novels.”
>>183
I recommend Little Women.
If I change it to something like SHERLOCK…
>>185
I love the scene where I have a brain battle with Moriarty and admit defeat.
>>194
I hate the setting of Watson’s wife.
Those who were into Anne of Green Gables are quite a bit older by now, yet they aren’t behaving appropriately for their age.
>>186
That’s not something you can say on a bulletin board…
>>186
The generation that was into it in real time is over 100 years old.
Gilbert looks like he’s turning the color of a carrot, doesn’t he?
That’s right.
How about setting it in modern times and making it a title called “Shirley” with a black-haired maid?
>>189
It seems like Kaoru Mori is involved.
I understand that it’s a classic masterpiece and there is an anime with strong fans, but it’s kind of funny to see multiple people on the bulletin board.
Are you referring to the original work fans as the strong fire faction? Or are you talking about fans of the masterpiece theater?
>>195
Maybe both sides have their own strong heat.
It’s a truly unique novel that follows the life of one person, the Anne series.
The Japanese novel that is closest in genre is undoubtedly “Mushoku Tensei.”
You’re probably just a die-hard fan who has only read up to volume 3 anyway.
I understand because I am like that.
It’s a work with a very strong fan base, so it should have been handled with care.
