Classification WMT

Review Anne & Diana | Anne | Anne & Diana | Anne & Matthew
This looks well animated, though the backgrounds look better than the character designs. It's a fairly faithful adaptation, with, of course, a good story and intelligent script, but there are a few WMT inserts which viewers may be able to spot.
I confess to some bias, as after some two dozen episodes I found I was very fond of Anne - a reaction moreover not provoked by reading the original book. Anne's character design changes subtly as she grows.
Italian edition: My Italian was negligible at the time, but I managed to follow a few of the scenes. However, Italian sounds like the wrong language for this series (set in Canada) and some of the other WMT are more interestingly animated. The opening credit song is great. The opening credit sequence refers to a scene in the first chapter of the book.
German edition: This apparently uses more of the Japanese opening credits, though the opening song is much inferior to the Italian one. In general, the German edition follows the book so closely that the latter can be used as a script. Recommended.
