Here’s a nice article on the history of animé written by S.B. Zulueta, a lecturer-technologist of the Animation Department, School of Design and Media, Institute of Technical Education, College Central, Singapore. The article even mentions the Anne of Green Gables animé.
How animé conquered the world by S.B. Zulueta, Philippine Daily Inquirer, September 20, 2010.
Here’s a quote from the article:
“Only Team Takahata and Miyazaki, later to form Ghibli Studio, tried to buck the system by doing better-quality TV series of Western classics such as “Heidi, Girl of the Alps,” and “Anne of Green Gables.” When all the other ’70s TV series had faded into obscurity, those Takahata-Miyazaki TV series remain watchable today because of the care that went into them.”
