What wouldn’t I give for an Anne of the Island adaptation, with four seasons just focusing on the college years. All of the Anne of Green Gables tv/movie versions start with the first book which makes sense, but they always peter out at the end (I will never forgive Anne With An E getting cancelled before their five season plan was complete). The college years could have so much friendship and silliness and yearning in it with Anne and Gilbert.

I think it’s time we should all admit that Anne of Green Gables is one of the most well written pieces of literature ever created, and frankly one of the best.

What a surprise! Another new "Anne of Green Gables" anime is currently in the works. The new adaptation will be titled "Anne Shirley" and it is said that it's story will be based on first three "Anne" novels - "Anne of Green Gables", "Anne of Avonlea" and "Anne of the Island". The anime will be scheduled to be released on April 2025.

As for someone who had watched a lot of classic literature based anime for a long time, I think that news is some sort of slap in the face to Nippon Animation, an anime studio known for making a lot of anime based on novels particulary the "World Masterpiece Theater" series. Considering Nippon Animation is planning to have 50th anniversary of that studio next year, seeing a certain animation studio having interest of doing an anime adaptation of the novel is a sign that the former should never rely on their nostalgia and try to step up aside from selling merchandise. It also means there are people in animation studio in Japan who believe there's still a market to these kind of anime. Here's hoping that the new "Anne of Green Gables" anime will receive well.

I don't think if many people (or anyone at all) can relate to this post, but i see that many people were fans of Harry Potter or Percy Jackson or hunger games as kids, but i was an aogg kid from the very start. I read all 8 books when i was 9 or 10, and i reread it several times over the years, everytime with a new outlook on the world and myself.

Everything about it is nostalgic to me, from the moment Anne met Matthew in the train station, to her friendship to Diana, to her holding a grudge againts Gilbert for 5 years, to her silly mistakes in the first and second book, to her finding new friends in college and Ruby's death in the third book (which was hard to take tbh), to all those letters she wrote to Gilbert in the 4th book, to her marriage and the death of her first child, her meeting captain Jim, Leslie and Miss Cornelia in the 5th book, the 6th book where her children's adventures begin; the 7th book and the arrival of the lovely Merediths; and finally, the last book and the shadow of war over Anne's life, Walter's death and at last, her sons' homecoming and the beautiful ending which brought Rilla and Ken together. It's just that when you read the books you basically follow her all the way from her childhood to her girlhood and then womanhood, and then you start loving her children just as much as you love her. You live in Green Gables and Windy Poplars and Ingleside, you watch her grow old. You follow two generations of the lovliest people in literature. To me it was aogg from the very start and I'm glad about that, reading and rereading it is always somehow the reassurance that I need that the world isn't that horrible of a place, it's just messy, and in dire need for a cup of tea and good old friends you can visit old gardens with on your birthday :)

All I’m asking for is a book accurate Anne of the Island show

I need Patty’s Place

I need Phil

I need Gilbert’s first and second proposal

I need ALL of the proposals Anne is victim to

I need Anne realizing she’s IN LOVE with Gil and being tortured with the possibility he may die before she tells him her true feelings

I need Rusty the Cat

I need the very sad sad scene where Ruby dies :(

I need Davy and Dora!

I even need Roy who I hate!!!!!

How do I make this happen 😩

[dubiouslymortal]

Need a man to fall in love with me and pine for me for years, and when I reject his first proposal, his health gradually declines, until I return home one day to the news that he doesn't have long left to live, and it's on his death bed that I realise I've loved him the entire time, but it's okay because my friend has sent him a letter telling him that if he proposed to me again he'd likely get a different answer, and the glimmer of hope that I might love him back sets him upon a rapid, miraculous path of recovery

I love your work! Jw if you ever drew or draw Shirley’s parents. 😆

Gilbert drew her close to him and kissed her. Then they walked home together in the dusk, crowned king and queen in the bridal realm of love, along winding paths fringed with the sweetest flowers that ever bloomed, and over haunted meadows where winds of hope and memory blew.

From Anne of the Island by L.M. Montgomery

Oh absolutely I have drawn Anne and Gilbert. I love them more than any other couple in literature. This is the first I could find from an old charcoal class final and I think I gave my version of Gilbert Jonathan Crombie’s overalls from the sequel, although looking back that doesn’t make a lot of sense since I’m sure he didn’t go propose in work clothes. I added Anne’s pink enamel heart necklace to the scene for a bit of creative license. :)

[anneofgreengablesthings]

this is so poorly made and i'm sorry but I just HAD to make it

[valoftheisland]

Gilbert Blythe being like "guess I'll die" after the girl of his dreams rejects him and then actually almost dying for real is the most iconic thing I've ever seen. Bare minimum if you ask me

‘From that time Rusty was one of the family. He slept o’nights on the scrubbing cushion in the back porch and lived on the fat of the land. By the time Aunt Jamesina came he was plump and glossy and tolerably respectable. But, like Kipling’s cat, he “walked by himself.” His paw was against every cat, and every cat’s paw against him. One by one he vanquished the aristocratic felines of Spofford Avenue. As for human beings, he loved Anne and Anne alone.’
