For the upcoming series Anne Shirley, based on Lucy Maud Montgomery's Anne of Green Gables in the translation by Hanako Muraoka, a 30-second main trailer with character voices as well as details on the opening theme have been released.
The opening song Yokan ("Premonition") is performed by the artist Tota. In a statement, she emphasized how much she was inspired by Anne's ability to find positivity even in difficult situations: "I hope this song gives viewers strength – just as Anne does for many." A snippet of the piece can be heard in the trailer.
The adaptation covers the first three volumes of the novel series and spans 24 episodes. Director Hiroshi Kawamata and the studio Answer Studio are responsible for the visual realization of the touching coming-of-age story.
The titular character Anne is voiced by Honoka Inoue, accompanied by Aya Nakamura as Marilla, Yasunori Matsumoto as Matthew, Naoya Miyase as Gilbert, and Yume Miyamoto as Diana.
