Anne Shirley is a warm and welcoming anime that, despite being moving at times, warms the heart on the most fragile days. The series isn't just meant to entertain; it also teaches you, with doses of imagination and joy, that life isn't dull. Each episode shows that all it takes is appreciating the smallest details to see the bright side of things.
In fact, that's the name of episode 5, "Let's Look on the Bright Side," released on May 3rd. In the episode, Anne breaks her ankle and loses her summer vacation, but she doesn't lose her joy or imagination, traits that make her so beloved by everyone around her. Furthermore, the new teacher proves to be adorable and becomes a role model for Anne.
Anne Shirley: Josie's Challenge
Since Anne arrived at Green Gables, many adventures and excitement have occurred. And now, with summer vacation energizing the students at Avonlea School even more, it's no different. During a game of challenges with her friends, the protagonist decides to avenge Diana, her best friend, who, after failing the proposed challenge, ended up being ridiculed by Josie.
Anne, who doesn't take any nonsense lying down, enters into a challenge with the girl, aiming to protect the dignity of her beloved Diana Barry. However, the protagonist is challenged to walk on the roof and, too proud to refuse, falls and breaks her ankle. To outsiders, six months of rest may seem impossible for Anne, given that she loves to explore and enjoy every second of her day.
However, being bedridden doesn't seem to be a problem for the girl, as she herself says she's fortunate to have such an imagination. Furthermore, the protagonist receives a lot of love and affection from friends and acquaintances, who make it a point to visit her regularly. It's beautiful to see Anne treated with such affection. Her past was very unhappy, but now, it's heartwarming to follow her journey with a family who loves her dearly.
The new teacher at Avonlea school wins Anne over
After recovering, Anne returns to school and meets Miss Stacy, her new teacher. They seem to share the same enthusiasm for life. Furthermore, the teacher becomes close to the students as a friend and even participates in snack time, following the rule of sharing food with the other girls.
Anne is soon enchanted, and Miss Stacy becomes a role model for her. The magic of following Anne Shirley is precisely its proximity to reality. Everyone has or has had a teacher they remember fondly, who is or was a role model in life. And that's precisely why the book is so nostalgic and enjoyable.
Furthermore, the plot captivates with Matthew's efforts to be a good father. In the episode, the man, who decides to give Anne a new dress for the school recital, finds himself in an embarrassing situation. Apparently, he's never bought a woman's outfit before, and it's amusing to witness Matthew's embarrassment while in the store. Although he can't complete the purchase, Anne's adoptive father doesn't give up and asks Rachel to help him.
Anne is so happy with her new dress that she cries profusely and thanks Matthew for the beautiful gift. The protagonist feels more and more that she is where she truly belongs, a place where she is accepted and loved. This becomes very clear during her recital, as she searches for Matthew and Marilla's faces as a reference to avoid nervousness on stage.
The work is moving and brings a new feeling to each episode.
In the next episode, according to the official website , Anne will form a story club with her friends and demonstrate her writing skills. Furthermore, after an accident involving her hair, she will finally embrace her red hair.
