Ep.110 - Emily of New Moon

You probably didn't know there was an Emily of New Moon anime. Unless, of course, you live in an Arabic-speaking country, where it just happens to be one of the most popular anime series of this century despite being forgotten in every other region. I'll admit, I was kind of dreading the obligation of sitting through TMS and NHK's 2007 adaptation featuring Lucy Maud Montgomery's second most popular precocious child from PEI, but I kind of loved it despite some surprising changes from the source material. Mike Toole and Sherly Kyorkis also loved it, and they join me to talk about its surprising pedigree and ponder its runaway cross-cultural success on Spacetoon.
