Beth never regained health and grew stronger neither.She died of scarlet and didn't recover.It is wrong.Maybe they wanted a better ending but this is a lie.
That's a shame, they seemed to have finished only half the original story for this anime in a hurry, and also changed too many story elements (Amy got scarlet fever instead of Beth after nearly drowning, and Beth died much later from something else I think). Still pretty good and well animated, but I wouldn't watch it again... -.-
I suppose it could have ended at a worse point, but what do I know? I grew up on one of the live action movies that ended later (according to below comments, through "Good Wives").
I've read the book several times over and it definitely did NOT end that soon. There's still a WHOLE lot more to the story!! And why does Jo have blond hair????? The movie itself is great and I like it,(I'm not trying to be a hater) but compared to the book it's soooooooooo not right.
wait, what?!! I thought that laurie was Jo's boyfriend and beth is just some little girl. I didn't see that anywhere in this movie that beth liked laurie. It sounded like Laurie liked Jo.
No offense, but I think you didn't read the book. Laurie likes Jo very much that he proposed to her. But Jo rejected him. In the book 2 (Good Wives), Laurie and Amy ended up together. :)
@CleverLittleBunny Give me a break I read the thing like 7 years ago, so I dont remember most the stuff, Plus the school made mesread this, and back then I hated reading (now however, I like it.)
This is terrible. First off, it is Amy who has blond hair, while Jo's is Chesnut brown, thereby Jo and Amy do not meet their original physical descriptions. Second, Amy getting into an argument with Jo after she will not let her go to a play and burning her manuscript is never depicted nor is it spoken of, this is a major plot hole considering that that is one of the main events in the novel.
it's good to see our childhood movies didnt die along with the VCR:D thank God for youtube, otherwise we'd never come acroos japanese anime we grew up with ever again! some day our kids will be watching this too:D
Lauries when both parents died though, before their death, Lauries father was disowned due to te fact that his father was a free spirited man who married an Italian pianist which, oviously was agianst his fathers will so...
his father ran off with a musician and his grandfather didnt approve. they both died and laurie came to live with his grandfather. it didnt say how they died though. (probably in the same accident that killed his sister)
Ok I am ALL for Happy Endings but Beth lived? Beth dying is sort of a big deal.. I LOVE HAPPY ENDINGS! But just switching it around is kind of... I don't know...
"Ok I am ALL for Happy Endings but Beth lived? Beth dying is sort of a big deal.. I LOVE HAPPY ENDINGS! But just switching it around is kind of... I don't know..."
They didn't switch anything around. Little Women was originally published in two parts. The first part ends with Beth getting better and the father coming home - which is what you're seeing here. Beth dies in the second part.
Kitykaaat, It was supposed to be a reply to the question as to Why Jo had Blond hair when her parents didnt...but it didnt post along with that question :(
@Pumachen I felt sorry for Beth and i wonder whats wrong with Beth do think she's going to be okay

And, oh, yes, I forgot to add that the setting ( both time and place) doesn't look realistic, and the language isn't even proper.
