Plot Summary: Born of the pen of the Canadian writer L.M. Montgomery, the little red-haired orphan comes to life in this anime, based on the first book in the long Anne series. Nobody has ever wanted her in her long and lonely 11-year-old life… until this dream comes true and she is going to have a wonderful home in Green Gables on Prince Edward Island with Marilla and Mathew Cuthbert. But all turns too good to be true - it was just a mistake; the Cuthberts have “ordered a boy” from the orphanage and have no need for a girl. And yet, soon Marilla and Matthew discover that they cannot live without this lively imaginative chatterbox. Green Gables becomes her home; Diana - the best “bosom friend” any girl ever dreamed of; Gilbert - the hated but never-despairing boy in love… Friends, dreams and school, scrapes and funny accidents, laughter and tears, tragedies and achievements - fill Anne’s life as she goes on her road of growing up.
