I'm watching Akage no Anne (or Anne of the Green Gables), I'm only 13 eps in but I already love that TV series. Isao Takahata was a pure genius, managing to turn a story of a girl who's sad because she can't get icecream into peak drama.
Asuka ?
(Now I really wonder if Asuka's first appearence is a reference to Akage no Anne)

... so let's go!
