Anne with an E ran for three thrilling seasons and--to the heartbreak of many--isn't meant to be continued. However, this doesn't mean that fans can't squeeze every last morsel of pleasure out of the content they do have access to. This is, after all, very much in the attitude of the show's protagonist, Anne, whose tendency to make the best of any situation is one of the main reasons fans love her so much.
In the three seasons available, Anne undergoes a substantial character arc. And even if her story is cut shorter than many would like, it's well worth the while to delve in and immerse one's self in the trials, tribulations, and transformations of Anne Shirley-Cuthbert's life; from her first days at Green Gables up to the moment when she takes her first steps into the world as a young woman.
10 Changed: Her Hair
Anne's hair is one of--if not the main--signature identifiers when it comes to Anne's looks. Her red hair is the bane of her existence, according to her, for much of the show--so much so that she tries to dye it dark brown.
However, in doing so she realizes that she no longer recognizes herself, and, in desperately trying to bleach it back, she turns it green. This leads to Anne sporting a short pixie cut for much of season two, a new challenge she must learn to embrace.
9 Stayed The Same: Her Chattiness
Anne hardly ever stops talking, and when she does, it's significant--usually meaning that something is deeply wrong. So when Anne is doing well, it's a sure thing that she will be chatting away.
This remains true throughout the entire show. If Anne has something to say, she pretty much always says it--for better or worse.
8 Changed: She Learned Not To Gossip
One thing Anne alters about her chattiness is the subject matter she chooses to expand upon. Anne doesn't recognize the difference between gossip and sharing information about people.
For much of the show, she thinks that talking about people is perfectly acceptable so long as it's based on true accounts. However, when Miss Stacy enters the show, Anne faces a shocking awakening upon being called out for gossiping.
7 Stayed The Same: Her Colorful Way Of Speaking
When Anne speaks, she loves to use flowery language. Any sentence somebody else could summarize into a few simple words is always extended into the most illustrative, embellished form possible when coming from the mouth of Anne.
Anne's speech takes on a life of its own as if each sentence she forms is a piece of art she releases into the world.
6 Changed: She Learned Composure
There are few moments when Anne hides what she feels. She is closely in touch with her emotions and is quick to openly respond to the stimulus around her, instantly letting the world in on the workings of her mind.
However, as Anne gets older, there are subtle instances when she demonstrates that she is able to discern times when her response would better affect those she loved if she smoothes it over, such as when she hides her disappointment upon reading yet another let that holds no information about her birth origins.
5 Stayed The Same: Her Stubbornness
Anne's competitiveness and hard-headedness is a key component of her personality, so much so that it often smothers out other aspects of her perception and leaves blind spots.
This is the case with Anne's determination to beat Gilbert in school, and also in her furious response whenever anyone tries to offer her help in something she interprets to be a solo adventure.
4 Changed: Her Relationship With Gilbert
Gilbert and Anne share a special connection from the moment they meet. Gilbert sees something in Anne that other people don't, without even needing her to say anything to him.
Most of the time Anne has to prove herself to people, but with Gilbert, she always had his admiration. It takes her a while to see this, but she gradually learns to accept his friendship--and eventually his affection.
3 Stayed The Same: Her Passion For A Cause
Anne loves a worthy cause. She has a keen interest in anything she interprets to be an injustice, and if someone is in a state of crisis Anne is often the first one to run to the rescue, as in the case of Minnie May nearly dying of illness or Ruby's house being on fire.
Anne loves to be the face of justice, and even if she can sometimes go a little over-board, her actions are a testament to the fact that her heart is consistently in the right place.
2 Changed: Her Views On Romance
Determined to be an individual, Anne declares regularly that aims to be the "bride of adventure" in life, as opposed to the bride of a man.
She wrestles with confusion about romance, finding it difficult to allow herself the possibility that she might want to be vulnerable enough to be with someone one day. But as time goes on, Anne learns that it's better to risk getting hurt in love than to never experience it.
1 Stayed The Same: Her Love For Green Gables
Something that never changes is Anne's undying affection for her late-found home, Green Gables. Anne loves Avonlea from the first long journey she takes from the train station with Matthew.
While any place might seem a palace compared to the horrible situations Anne has been made to endure, her instant adoration for the island and for her dear home with the Cuthberts remains a constant love of her life.
