| At one hand, I think bringing in more kids to live together would help Marilla being in company of people, now that Matthew is gone, but yeah, she’s getting older as well and so is her health, so I’m not sure how much it’d help her by being around someone like that kid, Davy. God, he’s like a time bomb ready to explode anytime. I get that kids are mischievous and such, but this goes five levels above lol. The fact that the guy puts so much mind behind his pranks make it almost IMPOSSIBLE to not lose your patience… sheesh, at least keep your sister out of that, if anything. I’m really impressed over Anne btw, I mean we were losing patience here, and she managed to teach Davy a lesson, all while being as harmless as someone could lmao. That’s how much she has grown, and that’s the kind of adult kids look up to. Proud of Anne and I hope Davy has learned for good. |
| Hah, Marilla with a change of heart thanks to Anne, it sure took THIS long, but she's finally done it to take care of other children. The Keith siblings of Dora and Davy, though the cocky one with the latter that has Anne all warmed up to him, she sure knows how to handle rowdy kids like him well. Alas, Davy just doesn't seem to want to learn on his mistakes, and even mistreats his own sister, though the reference to Paul Irving sure doesn't make things better to handle a kid of his mischievous stature. For once, Dora going missing, and Davy being repentant for once to only tell both Anne and Marilla the truth that he doesn't know where his sister is, they certainly underestimated how bad he would become, and props to Anne for not bursting her bubble against the wishful tellings of the rowdy kid just trying to get along and be taught of what is right and wrong. At least this brings up their memories of Anne's young days being more or less the same as Davy, and the need for people to love them all the same. Davy better learn his lessons for good, because Anne is a good teacher. |

| “Perhaps we always love best the people who need us” yet another very simple, yet incredibly poignant episode. It’s so funny seeing Anne deal with a bad ass kid like Davey considering how bad she used to be as a kid. She was never THAT bad though, but I do think it shows how the best parents/mentor figures were often the most unruly kids themselves. It’s funny how life works isn’t it. Davey genuinely was bad as HELL, he needed belt to ass 😭 but the whole time I’m watching his antics I’m just thinking to myself he’s clearly acting out because he’s bottling up his emotions and doesn’t know how to cope. You gotta remember, he lost BOTH parents at an incredibly young age. The sister just became quiet and reserved, while he started doing anything to get his mind off that. This is a very realistic thing too that you’ll see in any school. The kids that act out the most usually have some problems they’re dealing with. It hurt me so much when he told Anne “I didn’t know it was wrong to tell whoppers. How would I know it was wrong?” You’d need parents to teach you that. If his parents died when he was that young, he wouldn’t have received that sort of foundational parenting. It’s no wonder he acts like a wild child. Just like Anne used to(not to that extent) The same way Anne was saved by Matthew and Marilla, now it’s her turn to save someone and be a big sister. Beautiful episode really. Simple stories like this are what make this show so special. Very much looking forward to seeing how much Davey has grown next episode and our first holiday with the new family members! |

| Davy is like a reincarnation of devil for real..😭 Poor Dora..she deserves a better brother. I thought that Anne would teach him a lesson that he would never forget for his actions but she did teach him a lesson and changed him forever by showing how bad she feels for Davy's actions through her tears. Now Anne wishes to be the proper adult for Davy to guide him in the right way just like how Marilla and Matthew was for her. |
| You know what? In the country I grew up, if I dare behave half shitty brat did I would got my ass kicked several times, I really wanted someone to slap Davi's face more than once, I just can't deal with a kid with that behavior. |
| No tomo malas decisiones, solo me gusta apoyar causas perdidas. Disfruté Mayoiga, Ou-sama Game, Evil or Live, Mirai Nikki, Big Order, Arifureta, Ex-Arm, Tesla Note, Shuumatsu no Harem y Platinum End nope les falle con esa, lo siento pero todos tenemos nuestros límites. Así de jodido es mi gusto en anime, ¡Y estoy pinche orgulloso de ello!  |
| Yeah, I also kinda wanted to hang that kid... But Anne is, after all, a great teacher. Did you see the faces Anne and Gilbert had when seeing a very excited Diana talking with the other guy? Then, how was Diana so embarrassed when Anne talked about him? Anne would probably say: "Oh, someone else is stealing my beautiful Diana... Ohhh, the tragedy!" |

| @el_morris same here. That was unthinkable when I was a kid. Anne did the thing with the eyes, though. That thing when an adult sees you with a very serious look. That meant you're f***** over here. Esto: Platinum End nope les falle con esa, lo siento pero todos tenemos nuestros límites. . Ya sé qué no debo ver jejeje |

| Davy was unbearable in this episode, so I was relieved that everything got resolved so quickly. Seriously, Anne has a level of patience I could never match! I'm still not sure if he truly felt sorry or was just playing the victim that crying felt a bit too convenient. But even with all that, the episode still had that classic Anne touch that I love. Her quote at the end was simply beautiful: "I like to imagine only pleasant things. There are so many unpleasant things in the world already, that there is no use in imagining any more." It’s amazing how something written over a hundred years ago can still speak so directly to the present. Anne remains a symbol of kindness and imagination, even in situations that would make most of us lose our temper. |
| New characters introduced. It looks like Anne now has two younger siblings to look after. I wonder how Matthew would've felt about them. But man, orphaned at such a young age. They're in the same situation Anne once was. Hopefully, she'll be a good teacher for them. Hoo boy. Davy is a problem child. All the pranks he did were relatively harmless compared to the shit he did at the end to his own sister. Things could've gone wrong in so many ways. I am shocked that this kid didn't get his ass spanked even once. I'm guessing this got censored/removed for the new anime. Because in Urusei Yatsura Remake they replaced all the scenes of Ran getting spanked by her mother with her getting yelled at instead. However, it was more extreme there since she was mostly innocent. That gave her trauma, and she became bipolar. Davy 100% deserved a good spanking for being such a little shit. But I guess Anne isn't that type of person. It's fine as long as Davy understands and improves as a person. But I'm sure he'll create more problems later. Giving him a rival by comparing him with a good kid like Paul felt like a bad idea at first but might pay off later. Oh? Does Diana have a crush now? I wanna see Diana find happiness. |

@LaczPro19 Yeah, even if I hadn't looked ahead, I'd have seen the hints about the future. The adaptation is really focusing on Anne's more immediate relationships, Gilbert, Diana, Marilla, cutting down extraneous stuff as much as possible, though I'm not sure where we'll end, considering how much happens in the novels over time to the point Marilla is still around in the turn of the 19th century
| @holdingnothing yeah. I haven't even dared to watch the original, or the see the manga. And we're just at half of the series, 12 episodes left |

| You'd definitely think, given the time period, he'd have at least gotten a spanking for that last prank, but then it is difficult to picture Anne dishing out corporal punishment. I liked how it circled back to Matthew at the very end, gone too soon. And we're at the halfway point, at least by episode count. I know some 2 cour shows tend to take a week off in between seasons. I wonder if this one will or if it's just gonna keep plowing on through. Guess we'll see next week. |
| They missed a golden opportunity for Davy to reply "Just exploring." When they asked of his sister's whereabouts..... :' ) |
| "Genki is Life, Genki is Love" |
| davy never would've seen the light of day again if that were me. would've kicked his ass and left him chained to a barrel in the shed |
| Seeing an adult you care about cry is up there for the heaviest things you can experience as a kid, especially if you know it's because of something you did. As annoying as Davy is, watching Anne be a motherly older sister kind of figure is so much fun lol |
| "I didn't know lying was bad" excuse was pretty idealistic considering Davey was throwing so many Omen's Damian vibes at me in general. Hell, I was a little boy myself and I can understand the motivation to pull pranks to get the attention of adults, but involving your little sister in it multiple times is clearly beyond the pale. He was literally lucky to have Anne around, because without such a tolerant and progressive adult, he might have started to marginalize himself with such habits. @Marinate1016 Compared to Davey, little Anne was an angel. Because if she got into any problematic situations, it was due to her naivety and wind in her head, and not the desire to attract attention to herself in any way possible. Even Josie, with her Disney school bully attitude, had more sense. @0451 I think Anne somehow understood his feelings, since she too was orphaned quite early. But in any case, Davey is EXTREMELY lucky to have met such a kind person with a teaching degree. Considering the times he lives in and what could realistically await him for such behavior. |
 |
| So there are two twin siblings at the house now, Davy is such a troll ahah but he's a bit similar to how Anne was as a kid. I felt bad for Dora though lol |
 |
| just slap this boy, this is not possible to just talk to him, put him in the corner,make him suffer until he understand the difference between good and wrong so yes , I loved this episode lol, this kid brought so many trouble in this house it was really well done otakuweek is talking about this anime to his community every week and you??? this deserves to be on top |

Hoo boy. Davy is a problem child. All the pranks he did were relatively harmless compared to the shit he did at the end to his own sister. Things could've gone wrong in so many ways. I am shocked that this kid didn't get his ass spanked even once. I'm guessing this got censored/removed for the new anime. No, it's the exact same as in the novel. Davy gets very little in the way of punishment for his actions towards Dora, and his behavior is brushed off as "boys will be boys" and all that shit. |
| Very fun episode, I love the addition of Davy and Dora already, yeah Davy is a little shit that definitely deserved five across the ass but I really liked seeing the different methods Anne took to set him straight, I honestly thought Davy was just mean to the bone but the final scene of the episode made it clear that there’s more to it than that, one doesn’t simply make Anne cry and not feel terrible about it lol. And little Dora is so sweet, so much that it made Davy look even worse when he messed with her, but I’m glad the two siblings have found a new great family with Anne and Marilla. Also, Diana’s in love now huh? I’m surprised she has eyes for anyone but Anne lol, but that is sweet, I hope it works out for her. Now the question is, will we get a new OP and ED next week or the week after? If we’re getting new ones at all that is, I guess we shall see. |
| Holy shit, this Davy kid is fucking annoying. I can't even tell if he actually feels guilty about any of his actions by the end of the episode, or it's just another one of his acts and he's gonna end up doing the same thing again. The lying isn't even the worst part, it's that he's willing to put his sister into dangerous situations for his own amusement. I'm against any physical punishment for children, but he deserves a bigger punishment than what he got. |

Reply to HD600-Enjoyer
Davy might just be the worst child ever. What a psychopath manipulator.
| @HD600-Enjoyer For real! His behavior was psychopathic, I would NOT have been able to keep my patience with him, heck I would have honestly feared for the sister's safety. He was like the kid from The Good Son. Really wished he'd gotten his comeuppance, like got a taste of his own medicine to see how much "fun" it is. I really wasn't convinced by his turnaround, I don't think a kid who behaved that badly in real life would feel remorse so easily just from seeing a parental figure cry. Really was looking forward to seeing how Anne would correct his behavior without spanking him (though honestly I wouldn't have been mad if she had), but I'm disappointed. |

| @Xiao 100% agree, I hate that he only "got in trouble" for lying and no one said anything about endangering his sister! |

| Anne is a better person than I am. Really goes to show how much patience you need when raising children. |
| That kid is a fucking psychopath in the making. I would have personally beat the shit out of him until he gets his head straight. |
 |
| Twins join the family. Unexpected development. Sister is so sweet, while brother is a lil shit! Fortunately Anne managed to get through him at the end. My only issue here, they didn't ask him to apologize to sister who suffered the most. Being locked in a foreign place could have been very traumatizing. At that age a child may assume they'll be locked there forever, or some monster may come get them etc. Could've been very stressful. The case was handled well. Hopefully the boy learned his lesson. |
| Least favorite episode so far, though it's not terrible by any means. That kid is so annoying, and I am not sure if adult Anne is as interesting. Hmmm.... |
