There is a certain bitter irony in the fact that I far more trust a Japanese anime studio to do a better job of making a proper Anne of Green Gables show than I do a Western live-action one. If this is what we’ll be getting, it’ll be delightful. And since this site’s Web Dude has indicated that Anne is Big In Japan, it probably will be what we’ll be getting, at that.
Still: trust, but verify.
Thank goodness for Netflix: they’re just going to show it on there after the Godzilla anime finishes its run in Japan. I think that this works out for everybody: I’ll be able to watch it without too much of a hassle and they won’t have to try to get an American distribution deal going. Well, OK, obviously Netflix is making a distribution deal here, but you know what I mean. No need to try to get butts in cinema seats.

PS: Yup, I’m assuming that it’s going to be decent. They take this intellectual property seriously in Japan, and they also take anime seriously. It has no legitimate excuse not to be at least decent, honestly.
…this one from Robot Carnival

I’m looking forward to seeing how Blood – The Last Vampire
Here’s the Japanese teaser trailer:
…and here’s the American actual trailer.
I suspect that I’m going to want to see this one in subtitles.
