What happens

Anne of Green Gables (Japanese: 赤毛のアン, Hepburn: Akage no An; lit. 'Red-haired Anne') is a Japanese animated television series and the fifth entry in Nippon Animation's World Masterpiece Theater franchise. It was adapted from the 1908 novel Anne of Green Gables by Lucy Maud Montgomery. The series was first broadcast on Fuji Television and its affiliates from January 7 to December 30, 1979. Fifty episodes were produced in total. The first six episodes were later edited into a compilation film released in 2010.
