>>282593606first for savage rape of anne
>be Roy>be tall, handsome, suave, rich, at least three leagues above your girlfriend>send her flowers and poetry every day>ask her to marry you>she turns you downWhat the FUCK was her problem
>>282593606>NNNOOOO I'M LOSING MY ORBITER
was this a girlboss anime or was it good? i may check it out now that it's over
>>282593662"I WANT TO BE WITH SOMEONE WHO IS SUPPOSED TO BELONG IN MY LIFE!"--Anne Shirley
>>282593673>was this a girlboss animeNot really. It's a 19th century story written by a 19th century lady, and they adapted that more or less faithfully.
On the other hand, at least this finally happened.
Does the anime cover all the books?
>>282593739This series had romance? Or was it like a timeskip thing?
>>282593857The 2nd half has a lot but personally I didn't enjoy watching it
>>282593851Only the first three, Anne of Green Gables, Anne of Avonlea, and Anne of the Island. The series stopped before could reach Anne of Windy Poplars.
>>282593857This one book covered four years of college life, condensed into 9 episodes. It did include romance, but there were a lot of months-long timeskips necessary to get from one school year to the next.
>>282593926>>282593879ah I see, thanks.
>>282593739lucky bastard
>>282593606the most unrealistic thing about this is how Anne doesn't get more freckles as she gets older no matter how much time she spends in the sun
>>282593662Girls don’t like perfect boys.Btw, she wrote a romance novel where the perfect guy wins, but everyone said the flawed boy should’ve won instead.Now it’s happening to her irl.
>>282594099Someone else is lucky this episode too.
>>282594207>all the best girls got marriedi realise only now that anne married just to not be left out. truly a woman moment.
>>282593662>tall, handsome, suave, richStill.
>>282593739Dude looks so happy.
>>282593851No, only when she is called Anne Shirley
>>282594317She’s still called Anne Shirley throughout book four.
>>282593662She loves her childhood friend. Plus Roy is so boring.>>282594178Looks like not everyone missed the foreshadowing.
>the worst she can say is "no"
>>282594249You can see the moment where his complete confidence morphs first into confusion and then utter shockPoor guy didn't deserve this
Fuck Anne
>>282593662>send her flowers and poetry every dayThat's clinginess, that's the red flag, that's the ick.
>>282594993>guy showing affection? ickso anne wants a fuckboy that ghosts her?
>>282595239Yes, showing affection too much is cringe. It's like "pls response" in modern terms.Notice how Gilbert after the rejection instead of still trying to go after Anne, just does his own things.
>>282595352Would seven impregnations count as too much?
>>282593606Why does Anne have so many woman moments?
>>282594935>why not?>because I don't care about youholy fuck I hate women
This anime needed at least 4 times as many episodes.
>>282594935Roy gave her the ick
>>282596437That's the only flaw of this show, the pace is just way too fast
>>282594993>>282595352What about this? Is this not an ick?
>>282594456Everyone knew, besides hearing about the original, that this would happen the moment Gilbert appeared with Christine, and Anne´s reaction.
Is this over now? I don't want it to be.
>I grew a lot while you were not here>Oh, BTW, your real love is dying
It took Gilbert almost dying of typhoid fever to get Anne to acknowledge her feeling
>>282593739poor dude, marrying some random hussy
So was Phil just baiting her about Gilbert being engaged to christine soon?
>>282596808https://gutenberg.net.au/ebooks01/0100251h.html
>>282596932Best boy.
>>282596234Because she is in fact, and I have this on good authority, a woman.
Threesome with Diana and Anne
noiseshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z77H83dFRWQ
>>282596636Yes, that's an ick. But Anne also wants orbiters and simps she can reject and have power over so she got angry that Gilbert had a GF.
>>282596949>you need to nearly fucking die to have a chance with a girlIt's so fucking over.
>>282598272Nearly dying might have been enough 150 years ago, but standards have risen since then.
Any news about another season?
>>282594178>Girls don’t like perfect boysObvious lie. They want them and even more, that usually be thrill and excitement. That's why they sometimes leave them for an unknown reason.
LOVE WON!
>>282594207She looks super happy, I thought she was marrying an old man out of necessity? Also why didn't she invite Gilbert
>>282594236T H I SHISQuintessentially. Fear seeps in inevitably.
>>282598627>fumble for most of the series because of woman moments, bad romance fics, and college>see older woman miss out on love for being stupid--Anne doesn't learn from this because the woman still ends up with the guy...only after his loved ones are dead>be with another guy already, the literal man of his dreams>get the ick, still don't want Gilbert, making her liable to be an old maid who writes shitty romance>literally need an act of God (the author) to force Anne to be with Gilbert with a convenient fever otherwise she had to face the consequences of her own actionsNo wonder women likes this shit
>>282598734Callous but true.
>>282594236She was about to hit the wall and no one was about to hit that yee-yee ass haircut other than Gilbert "I'm engaged to another woman after getting rejected by Anne" Blythe
>>282598734Women LOVE wake up call illnesses in these settings.Daddy long legs works like this too.
>>282598666>Also why didn't she invite Gilbert>"You really can't blame her when you think of the tremendous Andrews connection who had to be invited. The house could hardly hold them all. I was only bidden by grace of being Jane's old chum -- at least on Jane's part. I think Mrs. Harmon's motive for inviting me was to let me see Jane's surpassing gorgeousness."
>>282598934Oh, that makes sense. Also, what a bitch her mother is. It was definitely to laugh at Anne
Look at my horseMy horse is amazing
>>282596932"The saddest part is that I'm not there to see it!"
>>282599229Give it a lick!
The embodiment of women who say they'll never marry when what they mean is that they'll never marry if their options are restricted to suitors within their social class.
>>282596932the imouto is so cute, I want to ask her hand in marriage
>>282599375That's more of a book six thing."Diana writes me that Dora has a beau. Just think of it—that child!”“Dora is seventeen,” said Gilbert. “Charlie Sloane and I were both mad about you when you were seventeen, Anne.”“Really, Gilbert, we must be getting on in years,” said Anne, with a half-rueful smile, “when children who were six when we thought ourselves grown up are old enough now to have beaux. Dora’s is Ralph Andrews—Jane’s brother. I remember him as a little, round, fat, white-headed fellow who was always at the foot of his class. But I understand he is quite a fine-looking young man now.”“Dora will probably marry young. She’s of the same type as Charlotta the Fourth—she’ll never miss her first chance for fear she might not get another.”“Well; if she marries Ralph I hope he will be a little more up-and-coming than his brother Billy,” mused Anne.
naming children after one of their parents is such a pathetic display of narcissism
>>282599674I agree is shitty but I wouldn't call it narcissistic. I was named same as my dad. Anyway, I expected better from Diana to name her son fucking Fred
Do you think Anne will live long enough to see the Summer of Love?
>>282596932>Madilda: They say he'll recover soon>No he won't, he is doomedWhat was his problem
>>282599857She moves on to name her next kid Anne Cordelia Wright.
>>282599911Davy likes to hang out around Mr. Harrison and adopts his blunt way of speaking.
>>282599335>winnipeglolhow was it really at the time though?
>>282599674That's incredibly normal; in what world is it narcissism?
>>282599674Lack of creativity more like
>>282600032In a world his parents didnt want to do it so he has less obvious relation to them, provably
>>282600026Well he owns a mansion and employs a cook, two maids, a coachman and a man-of-all-work at the estate. No matter what the town was like, inside those walls is probably pretty comfy.
>>282593606I dropped this anime cause I didn't like how rushed it was. Did it ever improve?
>>282600362It's not quite as rushed as the book 2 episodes were.
>>282599457Did Davy score? I feel like he acted too immature to get a girl.
Gonna miss it, Anne was my AOTY. Now moving to the next Western Novel Anime adaptation. The Little Mermaid
>>282600598Is this full blown romance, or there is more?
>>282600598no one wants to fuck a fish
Fucking finally. Also, Phill truly a bro
>>282600614It's a surreal fantasy by like 80% of the staff of the Revue Starlight movie.
>>282600598I watched the trailer earlier and it looks good, kind of like cel animation>>282600809Is it an original?
>>282600598>not black >redheadInsta dropped.
>>282600614Is about growth and romance too but like Anne i imagine Growth, OG Novel ends in death tho
>>282600882>Is it an original?It´s the literally "The little mermaid"
> Roy, the rich, handsome man from the 19th century was dumped by 3 girls alreadysure ugly duckling Becky, the author...No wonder Japan eat this story up since its indistinguishable from their wildly unrealistic shojo stories.
What goes on in anne's head when she rejects roy in the books?
>>282594178>Girls don’t like perfect boys.>Btw, she wrote a romance novel where the perfect guy wins, but everyone said the flawed boy should’ve won instead.I get that that's the intended message but Gilbert is also pretty perfect
>>282601313She finally grows up and realizes that besides the moment of "Prince charming", there is nothing that attracts her from him? She has been unconciously comparing her to christine, saying she isn´t as pretty as her, and roy with Gilbert, saying "Gilber will never..." "Gilbert this", "Gilbert that"... And in the end she realized she wanted for gilbert to be that prince charming, but that would be impossible, because they knew each other from 10 years already, and the "surprise attack" that he would do if he were to take the role of "prince charming" would be imposible.
>>282600882It's a loose adaptation of The Little Mermaid where after turning into bubbles she reincarnates in modern Japan.
>>282593606So, uh, what was Anne's master plan in the event that Gilbert had already moved on with another woman?
>>282599674>>282599857t. shitty Jrs.
>>282601940Go full Lavender.
>>282602221>that embraceSomebody's getting railed hard tonight.
>>282600598Oh I remember this. It was an independent animation of an artist some years ago and it seems that it is funded by some publisher to be a series project.
>>282602337>Indie anime from elevens: Decent or even good shit>Indie animation from the US: Awful DEI trashWe need to change our industry, man.
DAMN
>>282602424Took the blackpill
>>282596437this
I thought Roy was walking into the lake to drown after the rejection
>>282602424Real talk, this is probably the first time in his life someone told him no like that, especially a woman. This guy is either going to turn into a mega incel or he will hate women for the rest of his life.
>>282602550His sister told he was rejected 2 times already (Anne is the 3rd).
>>282596949Did he get that typhoid from drinking dirty water or from fucking prostitutes?
>>282602619you know, that's quite suspicious.
>>282600026Winnipeg has literally always been a rail and transportation hub connecting western & eastern Canada. Wikipedia says it was the 3rd biggest city by 1911.
>>282601940"Plan"?
series should have been triple the length
>>282602979Goodbye best girl
One last time, for old times sake...WOMEN...
I'm happy this series happened. It was a pleasure to tune in every Saturday for some Anne most of the year.
>>282593739In the end, the most outgoing girls, Ruby (RIP) and Phil, were the purest ones.
>>282603888No, Diana was the purest.
>>282603888Anne was outgoing too...
>>282602424>You've ruined my lifeAh, been there. Women, huh.
>>282603959No, Anne was a bitch. It's different.
Thanks everyone for being here. It was a pleasure talking about this show for all these months
Welp, there goes another perfect romance anime, now back to my loveless life.
>>282603812
>>282604169There is hope for you, anon. You just gotta go outside and meet people
>>282600716
Hey hey calm the fuck down. You are not alone
>>282593606I don't want it to be over. Anyone know how many books they didn't cover?
>>282604571It covered 3/6, or 3/8 if you count the ones that have her children as the main focus
Do any of Anne and Diana's children hook up? Would be nice if they became family
This has an ongoing manga adaptation, right?
>>282604833By this, I meant the Anne Shirley anime. The pic was just one of the old adaptation of future books that I posted just because.
>>282600809>80% of the staff of the Revue Starlight movieOh fuck. Picked up.
>>282604708Do you think they'll make another season?
>>282604853>>282604833There is an adaption running in B's Log Comic but it last had a chapter in June and it didn't get far to begin with.https://comic-walker.com/detail/KC_006202_S/episodes/KC_0062020000200011_E?episodeType=first
>>282604930Doubtful. This was already a huge project in covering 3 books and it's the peak of the series anyway.
for me? it was matthew
>>282605009I think delivering 6 kids is the peak.Imaging this and anime rushing the story, she will pop out 1 kid per episode.
>>282605265He was literally me.
out of the 3 anne anime Ive watched, this one was the one I liked the leastog anne > prequel > this one
>>282603954>Diana>the purestLook at this face >>282605498Is that the face of a girl with pure thoughts for you?
>>282605501I never cared about the prequel book because it's literally fanfic but I might check the anime.
>>282605934>thoughtsHer actions are pure, that's what matters.
>>282605934Diana is unironically the purest girl. Ruby was too thirsty, Jane was too greedy, fatty was too bitchy and Anne was too dumb
Wait, we didn't see Anne's college friends. What happened to them
>>282601940Affair
Old school woman moment from Anne. Poor guy has been revolving his world around her only for her to send him careening off into space.He forgot his hat.It's hard to feel bad at all for Anne after she led him on like that for so long. Rotten to the core, just like Anne.Adorable Diana the mother.The big smile on his face lol, dude landed himself a wild girl.Davy can't help but open is fucking mouth.Fine time for her to be hallucinating, or the fire is fake too because that's how fucked her mind is.>Left the door openShe waited till the rain cleared but couldn't close the door?I can't recall if the old guy was ever explained as an angel, god, or just her mind doing weird shit again.Kind of a jarring zoom in when they are talking on the log. Wonder if that was a mistake.How many decades of a loving relationship they could have if Anne wasn't the trainwreck she is.Finally, Gill got his win. Very cute.How scandalous, holding hands.Forgot she told Matthew first.It wasn't a bad adaption. Didn't have quite the soul of the original but it was good overall.
>>282606581>Kind of a jarring zoom in when they are talking on the log. Wonder if that was a mistake.I also noticed that, weird cut.
>No flashforward of Anne and Gilbert's childrenOne job
Wasn't there a plot in the books about the Allan couple losing a baby?
>>282596636It shouldn't be, but it indeed does fall well into ick territory for most girls. Unless he's overly persistent in saying it, in which case yeah the guy needs to chill, but an every-now-and-again comment like this meant as reassurance or appreciation should not be seen as a bad thing. Unfortunately pretty much every woman is a sociopath and has to work against that to be a better person, so it is what it is.
>>282593606I had no familiarity with this franchise outside the fact that it had an WMT adaptation and that it was required elementary school reading for years and I usually don't indulge in these type of shows but I ended up enjoying it and reading up these threads about the history of the books and other adaptations was really fun as well. Its good not to indulge in hype shows all the time.
>>282600745She just wanted to friend who had always been there for her to be happy too.
>>282598627Seven Times
Running after Anne in the woods...
the last time Anne was funny>>>/wsg/5983045
>>282593606What literary anime would you like to see next? Personally I would like to see the same team tackle the Emily trilogy by the same author.
>>282602550He apparently gets married eventually.
>>282608711The Lord of the Rings>>282608732Sad. I would have loved to welcome another fakecel on /a/

>>282609010song of the century
>>282600510Mrs. Lynde found her still staring dreamily in the mirror when she came in, bringing clean towels."It's real good to have you home again, Anne, that's what. It's nine years since you went away, but Marilla and I can't seem to get over missing you. It's not so lonesome now since Davy got married...Millie is a real nice little thing...such pies!...though she's curious as a chipmunk about everything. But I've always said and always will say that there's nobody like you."
>>282601940She tells Jane's mom, “I am going to be an old maid. I really can’t find any one to suit me.”
>>282602619This latest rejection was unique among them.>Twice before. And he raved to me just the same both times. Not that the others actually refused him—they simply announced their engagements to some one else. Of course, when he met you he vowed to me that he had never really loved before—that the previous affairs had been merely boyish fancies.
Considering this is based on a century old story, I declare that>Women, Women never changes
>>282604708There are also an additional three books of short story compilations, Chronicles of Avonlea, Further Chronicles of Avonlea, and the posthumously-published The Blythes are Quoted, the last of which was completed right before L.M. Montgomery died but wasn't published until 2009.
>>282609585Yeah, it's hard not to feel bad for him. I don't feel too bad, considering it won't be difficult to find a woman at the end of the day for him, but Anne is still a time-wasting shitter, I don't care if it was unintentional. Gilbert is a good boy and a saint and she doesn't deserve him.
>>282606161>Priscilla later married a foreign missionary, whom Anne described was "as handsome and inscrutable as those daydreams [that she and Diana] once planned to marry" and the best dressed man Anne had ever met. After her marriage, Priscilla and her husband moved to Japan in the late 1880s. Due to her new residence, she wasn't able to attend Anne and Gilbert's wedding. At some point, she gave birth to a son who was old enough to enlist as a soldier in September 1914. >Stella moved to Vancouver, and so wasn't able to attend Anne's and Gilbert's wedding. She had one son, who enlisted in World War I in September 1914, along with Jack Wright, Priscilla's son, Jane's son, Billy's son and both Phil's sons.
>>282609833STOP KILLING THE SONS
>>282607239That'd be in Anne of Avonlea. She does have another surviving son.
>it was love at first strikeDaaaaaw. Roy dodged a fucking bullet.
Fucking OUCH
>>282609907They don't *all* get killed. Some of them come home merely wounded.
>>282609769Same feeling.
>>282598734No wonder Japanese Women love this shoujo
What an incel. Anne dodged a bullet
>>282610054how did she end up like this? kekI imagine there was more nuance to this in the book?
>>282610059SOME?! Who dies
>>282601940She was going to become the ultimate cat lady.
>>282610085He's right though.
Look who is talking
>>282601940If not for that or Illness asspull?1900s cat lady
RUBY DIDN'T DESERVE TO DIE!
I prefer the original anime tyvm. She doesn't have that creepy smile there.
>>282596636So the lesson is keep orbiting the girl of your dreams even when she friendzones you because eventualy she'll bounce back?
>>282593662sorry, he gave her the 'ick
>>282610085You have 3/4 of your life ahead man.
>>282598734the author moved fast and loosewomen didn't change they just got louder lol
>>282602186Her life was extremely comfy, so this isn't a bad plan if Anne makes a good living
>>282596932her sister face is super funny
>>282593739Space marine guy married.
>>282593662>this was the third time Roy got rejectedHe really should consider becoming serial killer at this point.
>>282610085Another victim, another pure soul scarred.
>>282610320>had an affair with a married man that was the love of her life>the guy died later because of the flu but never forgot about him in her later loveless married lifeI guess Gilbert almost dying and Anne being there for him was her way to cope.
>>282610227>keep orbiting the girlhe didn't
>>282601940I don't know that this is the case, but in the episode, when she thought Gilbert was going to die, she was basically considering a suicide. This is probably also caused by the fact the she was a novel otaku, and suicide for a tragic love is top tier for a girl like her.
>>282604565that gentle giant have clearly a lot of qualities
>>282610320This reads like a shitpost, god damn.
I want to breed Diana
>>282600598this is the version where ariel dies at the end or something?
>>282598734>>282610320>Be Lucy Maud Montgomery>Waste best years playing chicken with suitors>Let family talk you out of marrying the last one who orbited you>the fucker dies of illness right after>grieve his death for the rest of your life while stuck in a loveless marriage in which you're both depressed and sickI COMPLETELY understand why she needed Gilbert to get sick and Anne to reach-back and get busy with him.
>>282603812What a happy Anne. I overall enjoyed this adaptation.
>>282610693I think it's a sequel where the mermaid is reborn in modern Japan or something.
>>282605265I would give Matthew a big hug. What a nice guy.
Thanks for the videos sounds anon. I'll have to watch them later once my player isn't shitting the bed.
>>282610812You know what women say about nice guys.
>>282610320Jesus, it sounds so....depressing. I guess Anne was really her self insert. No, but seriously, this life sounds super sad. How did she create such a cute story?
>>282610848I think authors having a fucked up life is not that uncommon.
>>282610320What even is preliminary lovemkaing. Like foreplay?
>>282610927She sucked his dick.
>>282610848if my math's right, she was 34 when Anne of Green Gables was published. At the time she was pretty much destined to be an old maid taking care of her sick grandmother.Not sure she would have been able to write the book if it came out any later, her life just got worse as time progressed. >>282610750>>282610927I'm thinking 2nd base
>>282610927hand holding.
What's the moral of the story?
>>282607264they die in horror and despair believing that tragedy shall soon befall their loved ones? and also a virgin?
>>282611035Marry and reproduce before it's too late.
>>282599969Mr. Harrison is so based. I wish we got more of Anne of Avonlea adapted. The characters from what I've seen in the anime are fun. I'd love to see more Mr. Harrison and Dora, less so bratty Davey but whatever.
>>282611035Chad beats prince charming every time.
>>282610848she made a more obvious self-insert later on to cope with other things in her sordid life.>>282611035I'd imagine it's something like>know who loves you and stick by themor something like that.essentially the Abe slogan
>>282610320I shouldn't have read this
Is the Emily anime bad?
Did they have any more children?
>>282611178I bet they at least tried.
>>282611089>know who loves you and stick by themExcept Roy loved her plenty, so it's not that simple. Considering what's been posted here about her real life, I don't think the author knew what she wanted out of men and that pretty much bled into Anne, just in a more idealistic and neatly-tied-up way for the story. I doubt this was the intent of the author, but I'd say an important lesson to take away is that women have no goddamn idea what they want and it's important to acknowledge that and have girls begin to wrangle with that.
>>282610085He'll be ok man.
>>282610750>>282610320>Lucy Maud Montgomery’s papers on the day she died. It’s often referred to as her farewell note, and many scholars see it as evidence of suicide rather than a heart attack, intentional or accidental overdose due to depression and overwork.This day is ended and I am done with it.I am tired of life.I have lost my courage, my hope, my energy.I cannot carry on any longer.This is the end.I wish to be at rest.Fuck, Montgomery may have lived a sad life, but i will forever be thankful for her work. Her life was not pointless
>>282610927"Lovemaking" referred to courting at the time.
>>282610320>>282610750>>282611089to be honest after reading all this about her life, I'm not as annoyed at Anne's stupid woman-moments anymore.I think it's clear the author needed Anne to win-out in the end so she'd at least give her the joy that was completely absent in her own life.Getting with Gilbert after illness and popping out a litter of kids is a lot more happy than being married to an equally as depressed religious schizophrenic that reminds you and your unwanted children that they're damned to hellfire + your best friend dies + never getting over your dead ex bf>>282611305Yeah I agree actually. If it weren't for her optimistic ending I'm sure Anne would regret not being with Roy and mourn both him and gilbert disappearing from her life. >>282611462>"I have lost my mind by spells and I do not dare think what I may do in those spells. May God forgive me and I hope everyone else will forgive me even if they cannot understand. My position is too awful to endure and nobody realizes it. What an end to a life in which I tried always to do my best."BRVTAL
>>282610108>SOME?! Who diesAnne's second son Walter is killed in action at the Battle of Courcelette in 1916, Anne's oldest son Jem was wounded and ended up in a German POW camp but later escaped, and Anne's youngest son Shirley joins the Flying Corps and comes back unharmed. All three of the sisters stay home in Canada.
>>282612021Do the books ever reach Diana, Anne or Gilbert as grandparents or deaths?
matthew should've plapped anne
>>282612116The wiki's saying that there is a short story in The Blythes are Quoted that features some of their grandchildren sometime around the 1930s, but apparently Anne and Gilbert are mentioned only. It's the one book of the set I haven't read yet, and its copyright date is recent enough that it's not readily available in free plaintext from the usual sites.
>>282612426Oh yeah, that book was sent the day Montgomery died, but took like 63 years to be properly published. Surprised you haven't read it yet
>>282612335little anne is not for plapping
>>282612517little anne is for making mad
Is 2025 PEI anything like the show or has it also been jeeted into oblivion like most of leafland?
>>282612462I read through all eight (at the time) books around twenty years ago, but I generally only keep going back to rereading the first four because they're more fun. When I hear that the final publishment-delayed book was from when the author was in her *really* melancholic and depressed phase, it reminds me of when I finally heard about and bought the fifth Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy book, read though it, got to the end, and was so disappointed I sold the book back to the bookstore after one read.
>>282612517all annes are for plapping, SPECIALLY 11歳 anne
Loved Anne, i won't ever forget it. Thank you, Montgomery and Japan
>>282612558It only goes as recent as 2021, but you can look up the census data for PEI. Here's a bit of the Charlottetown ethnic origins table.
Should I watch this now?
>>282612558>>282612650god dammit the table right above that just straight up has the stats for south asians. kinda funny how few japs there are.
>>282612650>>282612681That's a lot of Chinese in one island.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zkL91LzCMc
>>282611037>also a virginShe lived alone with him for decades, something happened at least once.
>>282612598You can go see Green Gables for real. I've gone, it's very nice.
>>282612783Would definitely want to. Someday
>>282612795I went probably 25 years ago. I have film photos of it but fuck me if I know where they went.
>>282612845Lucky you. It is definitely a place i'll put on my list of things i need to do before dying. Hopefully it becomes a reality
>>282612783Visited the maritimes a few times. Enjoyed every time. Hope to visit PEI sometime. Hope it has a nice oceany smell cause Halifax didn't really have that. It just didn't smell like there was garbage and faeces around every corner.
>>282612669Another series about a young orphan girl in late 19th century PEI? Interested in how much of a different direction this goes.
>>282613092Emily is more of an author self-insert than Anne is, as she's closer in personality and some of the things in the books actually happened to Lucy Maud. Also she very specifically strives to be a novelist. The early comic misadventures and later romances are similar in tone, as I recall.
>>282593606I still can’t believe I got to see my favorite Anne book adapted.
>>282602424he dodged a bullet
>>282613298which one was that?
>>282612669I would avoid it if you've read the books, but if not I guess it could fill the void. You could also watch the Anne prequel.
>>282608711Discworld
>>282598887It didn't even really feel that necessary in MDLL.
Seething
Who is the lady with them?
>>282612335>>282612591
>>282614252Ms. Allan, the reverend's wife. From that episode where they visited Green Gables and Anne's fucked up the food or drink somehow, I honestly don't even remember. She has a lot more presence in the books and the 1979 anime.
Diana is such a cute mother
This fucking kid
>>282614398This kid is better. I love her dearly. Seeing her makes me happy.
Man that was a really good monologue with the episode 1 callback. I'm gonna miss Anne Saturdays
How much estrogen do I need to enjoy watching this?
>Gilbert "I've loved you since the day you gave me brain damage" BlytheSo what's Anne's excuse for suddenly falling for him?
>>282604137It’s because of you that I got to watch (and read) Judy’s show this year anon. Thank you.
>>282614319dora too
>>282605265>>282610812Yep, he was the kindest soul to take on the redheaded Anne even if by mistake. Matthew's a role model and will be missed ;_;7
>>282610320>>282610750Wow, this is like Woman moment: Bad ending. She kept rejecting all the mid/good tier proposals she received because her expectations were sky high, and in the end she ended up settling for the worst possible option because she was approaching 40 and became desperate.
>>282614749>suddenlyShe probably loved him for years, it's just that her pride and stubbornness were too big.
>>282612783I visited PEI this past summer and there’s actually two Green Gables you could visit. I believe this one is where the author’s relatives used to live. Very cool site. Raspberry cordial is really good.
>>282614749It didn't fit her fanciful idea of what kind of love she wanted or deserved. She got these ideas from romance novels and such. Basically a disconnect between fantasy and reality. Not that she couldn't have gotten the rich dude, she had one of those all over her and she still rejected him, the important part is that her IDEA of what she wanted clouded what she really yearned for. Young girls need guidance on these matters, Anne and the author responsible for creating her got none.
>>282610320>>282610750I hate women so much
>>282599296Mmm, it tastes just like raisins.>16 years agoJesus.
>>282612021>youngest son ShirleySurely you can't be serious
>>282608711Holy shit, is that Pippi Longstocking next to Anne?I hadn't thought of her in years.
>>282614684Just a normal amount
>>282615114ruby...
>>282615114Jane should have died instead of Ruby
I just watched it for the threads
>>282610750>no bathroom nor toileteww>every man she met is supposed to be boring and dumber than herlol now i see where anne is coming from. and maybe roy is the good looking lover? who knows.
Really enjoyed watching the show so far!
>>282615210for a woman ovulating*
>>282614749>Speedwatching
>>282615114Whenever happened to Orange and Yellow? Died off-screen?
>>282613861We should tell them there are an isekai Discworld books.
Now that the dust has settled, are we all in agreement that this should've been a yuri anime and that Gilbert's introduction ruined it forever?
>>2826087112 cute girls (child prostitute and imouto), witty detective, edgy MC, the best buddy who helps the MC - it has everything
Having not read the novels or seen the Takahata adaptation, this was rather fun to watch. But I can't help think that the enjoyment mainly came from the strength of the source material as the anime speeds through developments too quickly, and visually it's been generally unremarkable.
>>282611462Woah...
>>282615487>so farBro the show is over.
>>282610320>>282610750>>282611089>>282611462Okay what the hell?!Is there an adaptation of her story? It's just so full of drama.But I suppose many would not be able to watch so much misery without an happy ending.
Here's a feather for you.
kek
>>282618378>cutting off the hands of little children in BelgiumSomeone mixed up "Belgium" and "Belgian Congo".
>>282618468accidentally, sure.
>>282617752Her live wasn't dramatic in a grandiose way. Just a bit of relationship drama followed by slowburning marital and legal problems chipping away at her mental health.
>>282610227He didn't even orbit her. She said no, and he carried on with his life. They went to the same college and lived in the same town, so they were obviously going to keep running into each other.
>>282618978She was also exceedingly depressed that WW1 had a sequel. She died (intentionally or not) right around the time of Axis's high-water mark of advance.
>>282602424Does he get a girl? I don’t like “disposable love interests” who don’t get a backup.
>>282620087From book 5:Philippa and her Reverend Jo arrived at Green Gables the day before the wedding. Anne and Phil had a rapturous meeting which presently simmered down to a cosy, confidential chat over all that had been and was about to be.“Queen Anne, you’re as queenly as ever. I’ve got fearfully thin since the babies came. I’m not half so good-looking; but I think Jo likes it. There’s not such a contrast between us, you see. And oh, it’s perfectly magnificent that you’re going to marry Gilbert. Roy Gardner wouldn’t have done at all, at all. I can see that now, though I was horribly disappointed at the time. You know, Anne, you did treat Roy very badly.”“He has recovered, I understand,” smiled Anne.“Oh, yes. He is married and his wife is a sweet little thing and they’re perfectly happy. Everything works together for good. Jo and the Bible say that, and they are pretty good authorities.”
>>282615077That's Judy from Daddy Long Legs.
>>282620176Excellent.
>>282614977Very cute! Was the raspberry cordial specifically Anne of Green Gables branded? I saw a pack of branded raspberry cordial somewhere but didn't think to buy it.
>>282594249>"is he really the best i can get...?"
>>282618468So close, Anne.
>>282620176Nice.
Oh, and for the fans of Charlotta the Fourth: Charlotta the Fourth had discarded the blue bows but her freckles were not noticeably less.“I never did think I’d come down to marrying a Yankee, Miss Shirley, ma’am,” she said. “But you never know what’s before you, and it isn’t his fault. He was born that way.”“You’re a Yankee yourself, Charlotta, since you’ve married one.”“Miss Shirley, ma’am, I’m NOT! And I wouldn’t be if I was to marry a dozen Yankees! Tom’s kind of nice. And besides, I thought I’d better not be too hard to please, for I mightn’t get another chance. Tom don’t drink and he don’t growl because he has to work between meals, and when all’s said and done I’m satisfied, Miss Shirley, ma’am.”“Does he call you Leonora?” asked Anne.“Goodness, no, Miss Shirley, ma’am. I wouldn’t know who he meant if he did. Of course, when we got married he had to say, 'I take thee, Leonora,’ and I declare to you, Miss Shirley, ma’am, I’ve had the most dreadful feeling ever since that it wasn’t me he was talking to and I haven’t been rightly married at all. And so you’re going to be married yourself, Miss Shirley, ma’am? I always thought I’d like to marry a doctor. It would be so handy when the children had measles and croup. Tom is only a bricklayer, but he’s real good-tempered. When I said to him, says I, 'Tom, can I go to Miss Shirley’s wedding? I mean to go anyhow, but I’d like to have your consent,’ he just says, 'Suit yourself, Charlotta, and you’ll suit me.’ That’s a real pleasant kind of husband to have, Miss Shirley, ma’am.”
>>282620176>Anne and Phil had a rapturous meeting which presently simmered down to a cosy, confidential chat over all that had been and was about to be.They talked about seeding & feeding, right?
>>282620873>You’re a Yankee yourself, Charlotta, since you’ve married one.ah so that was always a thing. shame she turned into one of them, another amerimutt.
Where can I get a Diana wife (only seen the 79 series)
>>282623228I haven't seen the 79 adaptation but Diana ends up being a purefag instead of a i-can-fix-him type. Do you still want a Diana wife?
After watching the 1985 miniseries I thought this would be a good book series to buy for my niece but now after seeing the kind of female brainrot which happens in the later books I think perhaps I was hasty. What kind of fucking lesson is this supposed to teach readers?
The 79 series ends with Diana looking like this, and she hadn't hooked up with Fred yet.
>>282624298>What kind of fucking lesson is this supposed to teach readers?The lesson of "It'll happen to YOU."
>>282624298Marry before it’s too late But only if he’s a +8/10 Chad
>>282624298What makes you think your niece will read anything at all in this day and age, and not just get her brainrot straight from Insta and Tiktok regardless what you buy her?
>>282620297It’s specifically Anne branded and you can only buy it in PEI. You can order them online too https://annechocolates.com/products/raspberry-cordial?srsltid=AfmBOorNjNPZN61z8hrtbjMeCqfAJIxKWb9w3bbiCnP3u043zCF6BUQg
>>282625692That's a lot of raspberry cordial lol. I actually saw the pack in Halifax but in a touristy part of it with a COW's ice creamery. >The shipping fee is built into the price of this product. When completing checkout shipping will be removed before payment.Fascinating.Anyways thanks for the rec anon!
>>282624307Diana looks cool
men only want one thing and it's fucking disgusting
>>282624298https://o.uguu.se/gsGlmjbe.jpg
>Just realized Lucy Montgomery is based on the actual Montgomery. Even is a red haired orphanI've gained a new appreciation for this character.
>>282627896Yes, but do they get a cat and a dog?
>>282625990Even more when you visit the Anne’s Chocolate Factory store (which only has 3 branches in PEI). PEI is a cool place.
>>282593606Does this have drama? I didn't watch the old cartoon as kid because it looked like slice of life fluff.
>>282628776I also want to know. Is this just some girl growing old and lonely cause she is having a woman moment every episode?
>>282628776Yes, is probably one of the very few good slice of life because shit actually happens
>>282628463Her power is literally called Akage no Anne and you realize this only now?
>>282629303Let's say, when I was watching the show I had no knowledge of Anne Shirley existence
>>282608711I just want uncropped BDs for all the shows in that pic
>>282628776>Does this have drama?There are some very tragic moments, but overall the series is quite cheerful.>>282629192>Is this just some girl growing old and lonely cause she is having a woman moment every episode?she avoids that fate in the final episode by finally accepting the confession of the boy who was always in love with her
>>282593606Just finished the episode. Can't remember last time something made me cry like this.
>>282624298>What kind of fucking lesson is this supposed to teach readers?don't play the field and end up old and alone, marry quick
>>282630312which part of it made you cry?
>>282632679Not him but Anne crying when Gilbert was dying and the end with them taking and kissing. This show has made me a weak bitch
>>282632788I moreso cried at Phil and Jonas's wedding. Such happiness after all the buildup on their end the past couple episodes.
I would make at least 4 children with Diana. Such a delicious woman
>>282632841Children were more likely to die back then, so it was better to take it slow.
We're never going to get an adaptation focusing on her kids, are we?
>>282593662It wasn't his turn yet
>>282632679The part with Anne and Gilbert by the tree up until the ending. The op actually gets me a bit emotional last couple of weeks seeing Anne as a kid and now she's an adult and we've seen her grow.
>>282610750I think it’s important context to know that at this time unmarried men and women really weren’t supposed to be spending a lot of alone time together at least until the engagement and courtships could be short. I read a lot of memoirs and biographies based around this time period and a recurring tragedy is people getting absolutely bamboozled by who their spouse actually is because they married them not knowing the person very well at all. So poor Lucy may have very well been genuinely hopeful at the start.
>>282614885reality vs fiction
>>282610750I mean, despite what she says, it seems she hated her husband, who was obviously EXTREMELY depressed, and just... let him try and kill himself over and over.
>>282633810Plus he became a religious freak. Poor Lucy
>>282633810She would have been better off had divorce been an option but it was more difficult and more socially unacceptable st the time.
pregnancy arc when?
All this time I've thought Anne of Green Gables was a children's book.
>>282610927anal pounding and soaking.
>>282635214And it is. It has some strong themes at times, but back then it wasn't frowned upon to teach children that life can sometimes be very harsh and unfair.
>>282614982moral of story: dont let women read.
>>282634769ova
Kinda wanted to see how they would adapt the events of WWI, but one can hope.
>>282610750What would Anne have done in her position? There was a point in the last episode Anne seemed to consider suicide when she thought Gilbert was dead.
whatever was that vision Anne saw of a soldier dying. Premonition of her son?
>>282636863An anon said it was an innocent scene misinterpreted by the Japanese as something more serious.
Diana has a jungle down there and that's FINE.
This was great, see you all in the Little Mermaid next year
>>282637953Damn, Anne, what are doing? You can't dress like the bride.
>>282635214First book is. It's like Harry Potter.
>>282608711Romeo's blue skies and Cuore.
>>282594249>>282593662>>282593606Wtf? This is just like the soap operas my grandma likes to watch.
>>282610320What does "preliminary lovemaking" mean?
>>282638720Basically foreplay aka lesbian sex but with a man
>>282638776>Basically foreplay aka lesbian sex but with a manBut that count as sex, she's a liar, she wasn't a virgin when she married!
>>282600598>Gonna miss it, Anne was my AOTY. Now moving to the next Western Novel Anime adaptation. The Little MermaidAre they giving Ponyo a show?
>>282608711>What literary anime would you like to see next? Popol vuh
>>282638891That's not sex, silly. Cope
>>282639050Little Mermaid by author Hans Christian Andersen is getting an Anime >>282600598
>>282608711I've had a text document on my PC laying out the episode distribution for a full Rowan of Rin series adaptation ever since I found out that there was inexplicably a Deltora Quest anime (and also one for a Deltora Quest remake that likewise covers all the books)
>>282616818>Crime and punishmentlol I read that manga a lot of years ago, it wasn't what expected at first but I really enjoyed it, 10/10 comedic manga.
>>282611035Cute little girls shouldn't be allowed to grow into women
>>282616818>>282639426Rodya is great.
Well, I guess this is the end. It was nice watching this Anime with you people. I knew Anne from memes, but I hardly knew anything about the series. It's been a pleasure
>>282625283>What makes you think your niece will read anything at all in this day and ageThis is the more pressing issue lmao, all teachers do is complain that kids don't know how to read now. And it's not just a reading comprehension issue, these lil nigs don't even know how to read in a basic way beyond buzzwords and phrases.
>>282638326>implying all the Harry Potter books aren't for childrenkek
>>282639333Woman moment
>>282640178They most definitely aren't all for children. From the fourth book on things clearly shift into YA territory.
>>282634769>Louise in thereExquisite. Shame her creator died but at least her story concluded "okay", even if it was rushed and there was still so much that was bound to happen in the story
>>282639333Anne moment.>>282639426>The covers of Crime and punishment four volumeslol
>>282638891Doesn't matter, she didn't even loved the crazy doomer she married anyway.
>>282641608
>>282639351Might be good. Although my heart needs to recover some from this series first.
>>282627896But that's five or six things.
>>282641608I could have saved herI should have been there for herGod forgive me
>>282643178The limitations of the medical technologies of this time were way too real.
>>282625283She's homeschooled and doesn't have access to a phone or the internet. All she does is read books and play outside. She actually reminds me a lot of young Anne with her strong literary and verbal skills and I don't want her to turn into adult Anne by getting any funny ideas.
>>282643035A man has the right to dream greedily.
>>282643285I dunno, the funny idea of dyeing your hair green would be more workable these days.
>>282611035Women, not even once
>>282614749>My biological clock was ticking and I'm envious that my friends are all getting married and having babies
>>282616660Anne should've grown old and alone as Canada is swept by financial crisis as foreshadowed by the collapse of Matthew's back.
>>282624298Just string along men until you're ready while you "find yourself" because there's always a simp ready to marry you.
>>282593606last for best girl
>>282624298Can't it just be a character study/story? And have no actual moral? I mean if anything its kind of a cultural fictional biopic if anything.
>My love for Hermann Leard, though so incomplete, is ... a memory which I would not barter for anything save the lives of my children and the return of Frede [Frederica Campbell MacFarlane, her best friend]Brutal
>>282644446>broke up her relationship with him because he went too farGave her the ick. It's reflected with the character of Roy
>>282644446>doesn't include the memory/life of her husbandLMAO.
>>282644290It certainly can, but it makes for a very frustrating watch/read. I'm not sure if that was the intent of the author but if you told me this was some postmodern self-aware satire written in the 21st century in the style of something 100 years ago by a literary genius, all for the sake of criticizing modern women, I would believe you. It's almost too on the nose.
How does this version compare to the old one? Because I really liked the old one. Also, are the books worth reading?
>Lucy lost her Gilbert AND DianaPeak suffering
>>282644290Every story about humans/human-like being has a moral. It's inescapable and arguably the reason why humans started telling stories in the first place. Character studies, too, will have an implied moral at minimum. If the character achieved his goals, the moral will be straightforward: "Have the same virtues as the character to achieve your goal(s)". The character achieved his goals not through virtues but blind luck or utter ruthlessness? Well, there's a moral in that too. (Probably a nihilistic one.) If the character didn't achieve his goals, the moral will be "avoid the mistakes of this character." The character didn't make any mistakes and still failed? Again, there's a moral in that too. (Probably a fatalistic one.) Every author has views about how this world works and how human beings should act when faced with the world, and these views will find their expression in the author's writings. That's perfectly normal. And it's normal for anon to question what kind of moral a story might try to teach his niece.
Please tell me they're gonna adapt the rest of the series.
>>282598627yeah but you see "slowburn" romance when all that is stopping them is communication issues is actually good you know
>>282647012Book 3 is the peak of the series though.
LMAO is this fuckup on the translators part?Or was this in the original text?
>>282648041The translator. It's a common mistake because of the pronunciation.
>>282608759>The Lord of the RingsJapanese fucking love LotR, apparently multiple producers have attempted to get rights to make an anime on it but none have succeeded for whatever reason.The best they could do so far is that Rohirrim prequel anime movie. People hope that will open the gates to an actual LotR anime adaptation in the future... except the Rohirrim movie tanked pretty hard, bad reception and all.
I bet Diana is a great fuck.
>>282647259But the Pringles are yet to appear. Tales of cannibalism.
>>282648594We could have had a LotR adaption if Japan didn't change their copyright from life+50 years to life+70 years. Now Tolkien won't be public domain until 2044.
>>282648594The Rohirrim movie was produced for the sole purpose of allowing New Line Cinema to retain the LotR movie rights for another 10 years. There was no artistic impetus behind it at all.
>>282650944What does it matter what Japan's copyright laws are? It's not a Japanese IP. And yes, Japan respects copyrights from other countries, just like all western nations do
RIP Anne Shirley of Green Gables
>>282651655>just like all western nations doExcept the US.
>>282649096Safe but good. I prefer women who like to dominate the men
>>282644728She hated her husband.
>>282645320As most people said already, it's a fine adpatation but it's rushed so it doesn't have the strenghts of the old anime. It's worth more for the new material in adapting the sequel books.
>>282643879That turned into a disaster for the author IRL.
>>282608711It might be hard for some of the jokes to translate, but a adaption of Candide by a decent studio could be hilarious
>>282602833Not really.In those times it was normal to propose marriage because casual dating was frowned upon.
>She often saw Blackfeet and Plains Cree in Prince Albert, writing that she saw many Indians on the Prairies who were much more handsome and attractive than those she had seen in the Maritimes.At least she was physically faithful to her husband.
Goodbye Annebros.
>>282657371Might be the last Green Gable anime.The book is no longer part of the mandatory reading list for schools and it's not popular among the younger generation.
>>282657420That's so sad to read. But at least now I've been introduced to Anne and am willing to check out other Anne properties and stuff from L.M. Montgomery.I wonder if the anime wound up having any appreciable impact on P.E.I. tourism in the end.
>>282657549It was huge up until the 90's.Japanese tourists stopped coming to Banff and PEI after that. The boomers saw everything already and the younger gen weren't interested.
>>282657702Oh I meant this anime. But I'll probably just look up stats in a year or two and see if the younger generation wound more interested after this adaptation. Maybe Vinland Saga helped too with that last arc in the manga
Said it before, but this series ended up quite the melancholic experience. The lifes and times of people like Anne happened barely yesteryear; how hopeful they all once looked towards the future. And now they're all dead and their children would be dead too, all gone by in a flash, and the future ain't all it was cracked up to be either. In a way, the somewhat rushed nature of adaptation emphasized this very point, with Anne being an innocent child one moment, then suddenly a woman grown before you know it, a bittersweet reminder how fleeting the human existence is.
