Kon'nichiwa Anne ~Before Green Gables~ こんにちはアン〜Before Green Gables
Series: World Masterpiece Theater
Animation Production: Nippon Animation
Based upon: Budge Wilson's Before Green Gables, itself an authorized prequel to Lucy Maud Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables.
Staff: Director: Yatabe Katsuyoshi, Screenplay: Shimada Michiru, Character Design: Nishimura Takao (5cm per Second)
Website: http://www.nippon-animation.co.jp/before_GG/

I'm surprised no one's started a topic for Kon'nichiwa Anne, the latest installment in the famous World Masterpiece Theater series, but I've just seen the first episode and loved it. It reminded me of so many other great WMT shows, like A Little Princess Sara and Ie Naki ko Remi, and I loved how they presented the backgrounds and characters so skillfully and beautifully. The scene near the end was heartwarming and touching, so reflective of the WMT standard. I haven't actually seen the first Anne of Green Gables series, which was worked on by the great Takahata Isao, Miyazaki Hayao and Kondou Yoshifumi, who were all to later to go on and found Studio Ghibli, but this has really piqued my interest to do so. Overall, a truly perfect start.

Very good director and excellent backgrounds

Looks a lot like Canada (especially the 7th picture down in Celestial Kitsune's review), albeit far brighter then it ever seems to get on your average day.

They did a nice job of following the novel, talking about her being in Nova Scotia -- this story is from before she went to Prince Edward Island.

I thought ep1 was well done in the standard World Masterpiece Theatre way. My only problem is that the emotional effect on me was so strong that I'm not sure I can take the rest of the story, lol.

Why i am not surprised that show isn't subbed by anyone, its all the same thing as with other wmt shows , no subs ever.
We use to have ''good'' groups doing good stuff but those are now dead.

Air Canada's one of the show's sponsors...

Good news everyone. Konnichiwa Anne ~Before Green Gables~ is being subbed by a group named Underwater. They released the first episode about 2 weeks ago.

holyalexander · 2009-05-02, 20:29

nice now i can watched it and understand the story..

Mauru · 2009-05-04, 16:00

Hopefully they sub the rest of the episodes too.

ragnarokr · 2009-05-04, 20:37

Just wanted to say a great TAHNK YOU for the subbers of this show. I just happen to LOVE the Green Gables anime. But then, it was directed by no other than Isao Takahata. I just hope that this series come a little closer, that will be cool enough.

WMT for life.

Akage no An was my fist anime and is my most favourite anime of all time, and Anne of Green Gables is my most favourite book of all time, so I'm definitely watching this to the end, but unfortunately it isn't anywhere as good as Akage no An was. The general mood and quality of the show is more like Les Miserables than anything, it has none of the charm that Akage no An had. (still very watchable though)

FireChick · 2009-05-05, 14:16

Good news everyone! Animesuki has torrents of subbed episodes 2-3 of this! Yaaay!

Sorry the only subber is busy trolling Cr and Funi to care about subbing the rest of eps, come on somebody else pick this up and start delivering on normal doses
i know you guys can make it happen

ragnarokr · 2009-05-22, 16:46

That would rock.

If only one of those 50+ fansubs would stop fansubing k-on and sub this...

just great

DannyCat · 2009-05-26, 12:05

Just heard about this now. Went to go try and get those subbed episodes, seems the links don't work. Bunch of raws out, though, so some group really should go get on this.

ragnarokr · 2009-05-26, 18:07

It states as ongoing on Anidb. I certainly hope so.

On a side note, Porfy No Tabi also had plenty RAWs at the time of it's release and only was picked a year after it's initial airing.
