For those that have watched the 2025 Anne Shirley anime
I am a huge fan of the book series, I’ve read all the books over and over, esp the first three. They are my comfort books. I’ve watched the 1985 mini series, the Netflix Anne with an E series, which I enjoyed, and the old anime from 1979. I really love the 2025 adaptation too, I think it’s a pretty anime and I love how beautifully they portrayed her friendship with Diana in this version. With that being said, I can’t decide if I should watch the anime series with my 5 year old. The only part I’m not too sure of is Ruby’s passing. Last year our elderly dog passed away and my little one still talks about it sometimes. I don’t think it hurts her anymore, but I do think experiencing death made an impact on her. I guess I was just really excited to show her how special the Anne series is and at first I thought this was the perfect introduction, until I saw that episode. I’d hate to skip it, as it is part of the series after all. Would you show the series to a 5 year old kid, or is her age not quite appropriate for this one yet?
