"Princess Sarah" was well-received for its (over the top) drama and it's no surprise that "Pollyanna" tried to copy that formula. While it received a good amount of ratings, it seems that its popularity didn't last for some reason. While I enjoyed the first arc of it, the next one becomes downright disappointing due to the problems that mentioned in your review. Not to mention its novel version "Pollyanna Grows Up" was a let down and that's another reason why I didn't like it. Part of the reason why "Pollyanna" (novel) is great is that is has a nice balance of slice-of-life and seriousness. It would be better if Nippon Animation just be more focused on the first arc and try not be too dramatic. I was very pissed when a certain character there was killed early for the sake of drama.Mainenoreply@blogger.com
