Animation Drama Family

Series Brief

Overview

Anne Shirley, a redheaded eleven-year-old girl, moves from an orphanage to Green Gables, home of the elderly Cuthbert siblings Mathew and Marilla. Her abundant imagination, cheer, and earnest heart begin to change the people around her.

Why fans love it

The 2025 arrival of Anne Shirley presents a fresh animated take on a familiar transition. Set against the backdrop of Prince Edward Island, the series leans into the slice of life genre to explore the quiet shifts that occur when an eleven-year-old orphan finds a permanent home with the Cuthbert siblings.

Honoka Inoue provides the voice for a lead character defined less by her circumstances and more by the specific energy she brings to a rigid rural household. Rather than rushing through the coming of age tropes, the drama lingers on the interplay between the girl’s boundless imagination and the practical routines of her new environment. It is a composed, deliberate approach to a classic story, emphasizing small, earnest moments over grand narrative swings.
