One of Japan’s favorite coming of age stories is coming back with an all-new anime series.
Anne of Green Gables
Anime versions of Anne of Green Gables, Dog of Flanders, and more inspire stylish and adorable designs.
From The Chronicles of Narnia to Anne of Green Gables, Japanese children’s book publisher’s artwork shines.
Illustrations by legendary anime director Hayao Miyazaki are among the 130 artworks going on display in Ikebukuro, Tokyo, next month.
The exhibition of background illustrations and character sketches, which have never been on public display before, celebrates the 40th anniversary of Nippon Animation’s World Animation Theatre, the weekly TV anime showcase which Miyazaki and Isao Takahata both worked on before founding Studio Ghibli together in 1985.
