About Pollyanna
Nippon Animation aired Ai Shoujo Pollyanna Monogatari in 1986 in the World Masterpiece Theater line, adapting Eleanor Porter with sunny orphan Pollyanna sent to strict Aunt Polly. Early episodes cover the attic room rules, the glad game lessons and the first town feuds she melts. The middle stretch follows church fairs and the Harrington pride cracking as Pollyanna keeps finding reasons to smile.
The closing run turns on the accident that tests the glad game itself, ending after 51 episodes. Kozo Kusuba directed with the soft town detail the strand was known for. Watch episodes 1 through 51 in broadcast order, since each friendship and town quarrel carries straight through to the recovery.
Good to know
Watch all 51 episodes in broadcast order, since the glad game lessons and town feuds build step by step toward the trial and recovery. The show follows Porter closely with extra village arcs around the church and fair. No sequel connects to this version, making the 1986 run fully closed. Track Pollyanna, Aunt Polly and the town folk closely because their change of heart shapes the finale.
