I can't recommend this show enough especially to slice of life fans. This anime is wholesome, sweet, cute, charming, endearing and something that I hold more dear to me than almost every other anime I've seen. To watch how well they portrayed Anne grow as a character through out the show was simply a delight. To watch the relationships that anne makes with other characters through out the show (particularly mathew) also grow was just pure pleasure. Not to mention that the background art is beautiful and the soundtrack makes you feel light and happy enough that you could be whisked away. My only gripewith the show (other than a few slight animation errors here and there) was that they didn't continue animating more of the books. I recommend watching this an hour a night until the last 6 eps which you should watch all at once.
