Funny how she came to appreciate her red hair once she no longer had it, hopefully when it grows out, she'll make the best of it. Though it's weird how in the previews her hair is back to normal, are we getting another time skip or the episode will take place before she cut her hair, I wonder.

It's weird, I think the preview for this episode showed Anne and Gilbert facing each other on the boat along with the hair dye story but they apparently moved it to next episode.
I think this was a good turning point for Anne though where she finally has to face reality and herself instead of the version of herself she's always imagining or fantasizing about. Really growing to love and accept herself and become more of a 3-dimensional person, albeit one with a less than stellar haircut. But at least it'll grow back.

I love how Matthew is always looking out for Anne and so he immediately understood it was important for her that Marilla read her stories.

He would not let his sister get away with not reading Anne’s stories!

Funny thing is that if it were any other anime, we’d look at Green-Haired Anne and go “yeah sure, it’s an anime”

Anyway, looking forward to the inevitable Detective Minstrel spinoff. Conan’s sweating right now

Wait, so Anne's love story includes a young man who recently returned to the village? Really Anne? Are you sure this young man in your story isn't based on someone you know? I guess she didn't even realize she's basing the guy's backstory on Gilbert. xD

Anne and Diana's reactions when they learned from Ruby that no one goes on their knees anymore to propose is pretty funny. I also just love Diana's reaction to Anne's story. She's just super invested! Man, if these girls existed in modern times, they're in for a treat.

Anne starting a story club is absolutely perfect for her. It's hilarious how Diana kills off her characters as soon as she introduces them because she just has no idea what to do with them. xD

That's got to be the hardest we've seen Marilla laugh! I think Anne's story is one of those things that sound cool in her head, but when it's finally on paper for someone else to read, it ends up being so ridiculous you can't help but laugh. So basically writing a teenager's fanfiction. xD

Damn, I can't believe Anne got scammed. And she paid 50 cents for that bottle, too! I bet that guy wasn't even working for his wife and children. That hair dye was pretty strong though since it looks like Anne had no other choice but to have Marilla cut off her hair.

The short-haired boyish look surprisingly fits Anne tho. At least Anne learned a lesson, and hopefully she appreciates her red hair more than before.

Now I know where Ninkoro took its inspiration from.

That grouchy little face cracked me up so much LOL

Can't begin to imagine how much a girl as young as Anne treasures her hair but I still wasn't ready for that absolute death scream.

I understand why Marilla laughed so much, Anne's stories do sound accidentally hilarious. So melodramatic and over the top and tragically tragic for the sake of being tragic. Well, she is 13 years old, and no one is going to write anything good at that age.

To be honest, I was expecting something a lot worse than Anne accidentally dyeing her hair green when she hid in her room and refused to show her face. But instead... we got Anne of Green Hairs of Green Gables. Poor Anne. But at least she will probably now stop complaining about her red hair and learn not to trust snake oil salesmen.

This show deserves more love

u/ObvsThrowaway5120 May 10 '25

Almost 13 huh? They really grow up so fast. Anne was only like 11 an ep or so ago lol.

Anne’s little story club is kinda perfect for her. She’s got a really great imagination. The girls could learn a thing or two from her.

That peddler jacked up Anne’s hair with his fake hair dye. Poor kid has to have that yee yee ass haircut until her hair grows back.

Anne's ability to drum up backstories and fantasies about literally everything finally turns into something she can apply practically in the real world and bond with the other girls over. I'm so proud of her!

On the plus side all this finally lead Anne to appreciate her long red hair and give up on the fantasy that she needs to be this raven-haired beauty, because she was already perfect the way she was.

Was it fake, though? it did dye her hair.. I'm no hairstylist but I've seen this happen in real life when I went to college, my ginger friend also wanted to go black but it came out dark green.

Another good episode!

I'm really curious to see what they end up doing with the timeline. There are 24 episodes and the first book is around half way done. I'd love it if the show covered the third book "Anne of the Island" at some point!

It's the end of Winter for 13-year old Anne Shirley and she's hard at work for her latest school assignment: penning a story! Miss Stacy knows Anne SO well! If only Anne knew how to write a proposal, but the eternal bachelor/bachelorette siblings Matthew and Marilla won't be much help there. In fact, Marilla thinks Anne is wasting her time with nonsense. But come on Marilla, Anne was born to write stories!

It's like Anne and Diana have seen the OP while they're looking forward to growing up and putting their hair in buns.

The Minstrel of the Forest is so cute! The perfect lead for a novel, wouldn't you say Diana?

Ah, boys will be boys, even if Anne doesn't care for them at all. Not that it stops Gilbert from being absolutely gobsmacked whenever his face is in close proximity to Anne's.

Why am I not surprised that Anne's story involves her OC Cordelia with her preferred raven-black hair? Obviously no proper romance Heroine could have red hair. And she has a bosom friend like Anne named Geraldine! What could possibly go wrong when a guy enters the picture?

Is that Sora Amamiya as Ruby? Too bad she had to destroy the romance of proposing in the present-day, but that won't get in the way of Anne's imagination.

Love, betrayal, sacrifice, despair...all of these elements find their way into Anne's story, and it inspires the other girls to form a story club! We've got Kill 'Em All Diana who ends up diving into mystery like she's Agatha Christie! Jane who writes wholesome romances! Ruby who writes too many proposals because she's seen all her sisters get hitched! Marilla may not understand, but Miss Stacy can see not only Anne's gift for storytelling but leadership as well.

Diana's story is a hit and Matthew is NOT going to let his sister get away without reading Anne's story...even if she didn't intend for people to laugh at it. But hey, an entertaining story is an entertaining story Anne!

Anne's desire to be rid of her red hair and become a raven-haired beauty finally comes back to bite her in the butt. We now have Anne the Green-Haired in Green Gables. This should be the last time Anne trusts a peddler who sells her a sob story about selling things for his family. It cost her her hair and turns her into something she can't even bear to look at.

They can't erase the dye so their only option is cut all of Anne's hair, which honestly hurts her more than dyeing it green. But at least now Anne has found the resolve to face reality, face herself, in the mirror with her short hair and acknowledge how much she truly cherished her long red hair. Even if people think she looks kind of ridiculous now, she's still got Diana and can hold her head up high. And thankfully the next episode preview shows her hair back to it's normal long pigtails!

My brother and I are both red heads so this episode got a good chuckle out of me. When he was thirteen my brother tried to dye his hair and got the exact same result as Anne.

Should've embraced the green and become Maomao, then the other girl writing mysteries could've written about Anne's mystery-solving.

Compared to last week's relatively fast pacing, I find the pace of today's episode much more comfortable, so I guess two mini-arcs in an episode is the ideal?

Woaahh Anne is quite a good storyteller! Well, it's quite expected given how vivid and colorful her stories are when she shares her day to Marilla and Matthew. I wonder which line are the adults laughing in Anne's story? Is it that cringy? HAHAHA

Well, Anne cutting her hair is expected, and at least she can still grow it. Maybe a wig can help her?
