Os Irmãos Grimm e as Facetas do Horror

I've got shelves of Reminaginings for fairy tales so going into this series I was open to just about anything.

It's not an exact match but the title is the best way I can describe how this show felt to me. It's like each fairy tale story was prompted to be mixed with a Sci-fi anthology series and the sound track was sourced from classical composers, though not always in a classical style.

And yeah the tones here all over the place while also being similar. It's really best to view each episode as it's own because really the only thing tying them together is the short openings with the Grimm siblings discussing the original fairy tales, and eventually having some small cameo in the story of the episode. So very " Rod Serling" or Alfred Hitchcock.

As others have said with no spoilers Cinderella is closest to the source material with a 'dark twist' so I'd say it best matches Night Gallery

I found a special fondness for Red Riding Hood which had shades of Hannibal and Black Mirror

Hansel and Gretel feels more Twilight Zone still a little twisty but nowhere near as dark as either of the previous tales.

Elves and the Shoemaker totally lost me I'll be honest, I won't even pretend to understand what happened there but then even the Main Character didn't even get it so maybe that was the point XD.

The Town Musicians of Bremen would be right at home as an entry for Love Death & Robots.

The Pied Piper Of Hamlin is rather Tales of the Darkside or maybe one of the more mild Master of Horror episodes.

As a regular anime watcher, I found The Grim Variations to be a refreshing and enjoyable watch. Despite some criticism, I believe that sometimes, simple anime can be just as entertaining and engaging as those with more complex storylines. While some may argue that the show could have taken a different approach, it's important to remember that there are limitations when adapting famous fairytales while still trying to be original and engaging. Instead of setting high expectations, it's best to watch and appreciate the show for what it is. Don't let reviews or others' opinions influence your own enjoyment. Give it a chance and form your own thoughts and feelings about it.

The first episode is perfect bait to keep you watching. A new perspective on the original story and characters. It's a representation of what this series should be. All the remaining chapters use almost only the names of the stories and characters. In them, it seems like they did it not to produce a variation, but to push the concept as much as they could from the original. And the places they bring the stories just feel forced.

'Cinderella' is so good. 'Little Red Riding Hood' and 'The Elves and the Shoemaker' had good ideas for the subtext in which they wanted to shift the focus of the story, but they could not implement it very well. In the remaining three, they simply threw story ideas at the audience that they thought would look cool, without giving them any serious thought.

I think they handled a child abuse element very wrongly in the last story, and that bothered me most.

After viewing the first season, I'm hooked on this Netflix anime series! This series offers captivating reinterpretations of six Grimm Brothers' fairy tales, each presented in distinct genres. But wait a minute. The Grimms didn't write "The Pied Piper of Hamelin." Anyway, in the beginning of each episode, the brothers and Charlotte, their younger sister, appear.

In my estimation, the most exceptional segments of the series feature a western science fiction adaptation of "The Bremen Town Musicians," in which the animal protagonists are human females. I agree with the anime fans who have seen the series. CLAMP, the creators of "Card Captor Sakura" and "X/1999," originated the concept art for the series, and I love it.

I really enjoy this series because I love fairy tales, though I'm 38 years old, and also because CLAMP's one of my favorite manga artists. So, that's all I have to say about this anime.

I love new and creative interpretations of fairy tails, but this just field so weird. I think it's hard to even call them new interpretations as so less of the source material is used within this. The first episode was fine, but the others were just weird and missing a moral/a message of the story. I think it's one of the shows were a lot is metaphoric and up to interpretation, but it's not presented in a fun, clever and interesting way like eg love, death and robots or Star Wars Visions. It's just weird. I'm quite disappointed as I expected more. They should have better adapted something like Kaori Yuki's Ludwig Revolution.
