Thanks for this particular interview ANN!!! It's kind of neat to be able to interview Eiko Yamada about the 1979 anime.

Great interview. The episode focusing on Matthew's death definitely makes me misty-eyed, so it's no surprise that Yamada would have gotten genuinely emotional about it while voicing Anne herself.

I'm so happy to see this show (and the World Masterpiece Theater shows in general) getting some recognition in the West at long last. I love that you did an article for this.

She's got quite the resume, the LOVELY Anne Shirley, the DESPICABLE Lavinia from Princess Sarah and the badass yet cute Gin from Ginga Nagareboshi Gin, the lead dog from the classic Shonen Jump anime.

Even if the new adaptation is having pacing issues, I'm glad it's out there for the attention it's bringing to the '79 version. If someone would kindly license it I'd gladly retire my R2 DVDs.

The 1970s Anne is indeed slow for the first few episodes, but improves a lot once Anne starts going to school and making friends, and it all pays off splendidly in the later episodes.

It would be nice if they can fit Eiko Yamada in a role in the remake at some point.
