At first glance Watashi no Annette might appear to be aimed at children since it’s based on the children’s book “Treasures of the Snow” published in 1950 and it’s a faithful adaptation of the book, however its plotline and themes are certainly mature, heavy and sometimes even dark. After the 14th episode, the series takes a dramatic turn, loses its cheerful and relaxing atmosphere and one by one tragic events occur in many forms.
The concept of forgiveness is a natural and inescapable part of being human. Is it possible for a person to live their whole life without making any mistakes or without hurting anyone?

First off, this was a very slice of life show. The pacing is very slow but it worked for the show in the long run. The actual plot of the show doesn't reveal itself until around ep 15.

I watched it exactly this time of last year. It's amazing as typical of World Master Piece Theater. I liked Annette's Father, who is gentle. I was captivated by the way the animators depicted the sceneries of old Switzerland and the school environment. It reminded me of the adventures of my grandparents (both paternal and maternal ) when they had to go to school in those days.
Coming to the summary of my perception of the Story, I liked Lucien than the self-centered Annette. She just does everything against what has been told to her. In comparision to her, Dannie ( her little brother) was more considerate of others. I watched it along with my mother and both of us sympathized with Lucien. Repentance was shown in pure action by him. LUCIEN Is the main protagonist of the story. LUCIEN'S sk…
