A new key visual for the Anne Shirley TV anime has been released, depicting Anne in front of Redmond College’s gates during a rainy day.
The visual’s release comes just ahead of the adaptation’s upcoming “Redmond College Arc.”
Anne Shirley first premiered on April 5 JST. It adapts three books from Lucy Maud Montgomery‘s classic Anne of Green Gables series: 1908’s Anne of Green Gables, 1909’s Anne of Avonlea, and 1915’s Anne of the Island.
Crunchyroll describes the anime’s premise as:
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.
Anne of Green Gables previously inspired a 1979 anime series titled Akage no Anne — directed by the late Isao Takahata (Grave of the Fireflies, The Tale of the Princess Kaguya) — and 2009’s Konnichiwa Anne: Before Green Gables, which are both World Masterpiece Theater titles.
