Anne Shirley is a bright and boisterous orphan living with the dysfunctional Thomas family. Mr Thomas is a useless drunk who comes home in the evening only to abuse his family; Mrs Thomas struggles to run a house with no income; and their naughty sons Horace and Edward regularly stumble into trouble. Luckily, Anne always looks for the good in every situation; with an active imagination and a kind heart, she spends many happy days exploring her world, learning about her past, and helping the colorful people around her.
Cheerful, optimistic Nadja is one of many English orphans living in the quaint Applefield Orphanage. Yet one fateful day, when the orphange is attacked by men looking for her mother's brooch, Nadja learns that her mother may still be alive after all. Hoping to protect the rest of the inhabitants of Applefield and to escape her would-be captors, Nadja runs away from the orphanage and joins the Dandelion Troupe -- a traveling band of circus performers. Filled with the greatest hope, Nadja's grand adventure begins in a search for her mother and her own identity...
Both Anne and Nadja grow up as orphans, and go through both hardships and miracles. Both are historical anime and so if you like Anne, you'd might like Ashita no Nadja.
Georgie, a pretty and innocent young girl, lives in the beautiful Australian countryside with her family. While her father and her two brothers Abel and Arthur love her dearly, her mother finds it hard to treat her like the other children. In fact, unbeknownst to Georgie, she is not her parents' real daughter, but rather is a child who was found in the middle of a storm. One day, after tragedy strikes, the family is torn in irreparable ways and Georgie finds herself abandoned to her fate once more. She must eventually embark upon a journey to England to find not only her true identity, but the man she loves above all others, Lowell.
These two animes are very simular in their own unique ways. Both are historical and revolve around orphan girls who try to fit into their family.
