Ai Shoujo Pollyanna Monogatari

I only watched the first half of this series. It is definitely a slower paced anime, as it follows the life of a girl named Pollyanna, who is constantly finding things to be glad about even after the death of her father, and she now must live with an aunt she never knew she had. Most of the plot is watching Pollyanna pluck at her aunt's heart strings and her helping cheer up the townspeople. If you were interested in watching this to see a young child overcome her struggles, I would suggest watching other - and better, in my limited opinion - series by World Masterpiece Theatre. Alps Story My Annette is about a similar level to Pollyanna, while Little Princess Sarah goes above these two and is more engaging as Sarah has to face constant hardships. And if you're looking for something shorter and of higher quality, where the main character is still a child facing a tough life, my ultimate recommendation is Romeo's Blue Skies! (It's my personal favorite series that I fell for as soon as the intro theme played...)
