I was searching for books relating to Anne and I stumbled upon a Japanese film called Looking for Anne, which was released in 2009. It's not really an adaptation, exactly, but here's the synopsis (from this article in The Guardian):

''The contemporary tale follows the journey of Anne Lee, a young Japanese girl who visits P.E.I. to find her grandmother's first love, a Canadian soldier. In 1946, the soldier gave her grandmother a copy of Anne and the book changed her life, giving her the strength to go on.''

As Lee's quest goes along, she discovers why Anne of Green Gables changed her grandmother's life and that of many other Japanese women.
