At the beginning of the episode, Anne receives a letter from Priscilla, her friend from Queen's Academy, informing her that Mrs. Morgan, her distant relative and famous novelist, will be visiting Green Gables. Anne is ecstatic with the news and prepares a pleasant lunch and charming decorations.
Anne invites Miss Stacy, her former school teacher, to lunch with the novelist. The protagonist asks Davy and Dora to behave themselves and, as a reward, promises to take them on a boat ride. However, the special guest sprains her ankle and is unable to attend the lunch prepared by Anne, which deeply upsets the girl.
Despite Davy's unintentional mischief, Anne is proud that he made an effort and tried to behave appropriately. So, she fulfills her promise and takes Davy and Dora for a boat ride. Anne also invites Gilbert, who wins the twins over in just a few minutes. She also seems enchanted by him. Thus, it's possible that romance between the two will soon blossom.
Anne comforts Paul in a difficult time
While Anne is at the cemetery visiting Matthew's headstone, she encounters Paul, her student, who is leaving flowers for his grandfather and mother. Paul confides in Anne about his grief, and she acts as a safe haven for him. From the beginning of her teaching career, the protagonist makes it clear that she truly cares about her students and wants to be a valuable figure for them.
Anne Shirley isn't an anime with an unusual plot, nor does it offer fight scenes or unbridled action. However, the series provides comfort and satisfaction in following the growth of a formidable protagonist who sees beauty and value in every little thing in life.
An unexpected visitor surprises Green Gables
While Anne is cleaning the house with Davy, she decides to apply some of her freckle-reducing lotion. However, she mixes up the bottle and uses Marilla's red paint. At that very moment, the doorbell rings, and Anne receives an unexpected visitor. Mrs. Morgan, who quickly recovered from her sprained ankle, decides to go to Green Gables.
The scene marks an important moment for the protagonist. Besides meeting the novelist, she realizes that her freckles aren't a flaw. Just like the red hue of her hair, they're part of who she is. Thus, Anne overcomes the situation and even jokes with the guests about her lack of skill with paint.
Beyond the surprising character, Anne Shirley enchants with her animation, produced by The Answer Studio , which, despite its simplicity, is captivating and reminiscent of paintings on canvas. However, the characters and animation aren't the only details that spark interest. The plot is also a strong point of the work, as following a character's childhood and adulthood creates depth and connects with the audience.
