Nippon Animation has launched its official webpage for its 26th World Masterpiece Theater TV anime series, Konnichiwa Anne ~ Before Green Gables. The series is an adaptation of author Budge Wilson’s 2008 novel “Before Green Gables,” a prequel to Lucy Maud Montgomery’s classic 1908 novel Anne of Green Gables. The Konnichiwa Anne television series is scheduled to premiere on April 5, 2009.

The 39 episode Konnichiwa Anne television series will be directed by Yatabe Katsuyoshi, whose diverse previous directing credits include the Exkaiser and Da Garn robot anime series, the Gundress motion picture, the Keraku no Oh adult anime series, and the “My Pico” shota yaoi series.
