As someone who adores Anne of Green Gables I was really hoping to like this. It was mostly fine, I felt like the plot was pretty standard, and it wasn’t a bad modernization of the setting. In all, though, it ended up feeling very meh. I liked most of the characters, but somehow everyone ended up feeling flat—especially Tanner and Sarah. Where in the original AoGG I find Anne charming and creative, this felt more like a discount version of her character. I liked Berry the best out of everyone in this, especially because I think Tamaki fleshed out her character in a more creative way than other modernizations have done
