The Grimm’s Variations, an upcoming Japanese anthology, presents an animated adaptation of the renowned German children’s book Grimm’s Fairy Tales. Netflix recently provided a sneak peek to fans by releasing a two-minute-twenty-second video showcasing the series’ first episode. In collaboration with the esteemed manga group CLAMP, Wit Studio has developed this series, offering anime enthusiasts a refreshing perspective on this timeless tale.
The Grimm Variations consists of a total of 6 episodes, each of which is directed by a different filmmaker. These talented directors include Yōko Kanamori, Yasuhiro Akamatsu, Jun’ichirō Hashiguchi, Yumi Kawamura, Masato Takeuchi, and Shintarou Nakazawa. The episodes are titled as follows: Cinderella (episode 1), Little Red Riding Hood (episode 2), Hansel and Gretel (episode 3), The Elves and the Shoemaker (episode 4), Town Musicians of Bremen (episode 5), and Pied Piper of Hamelin (episode 6). Make sure to mark your calendars for April 17, 2024, as The Grimm Variations will soon be available on Netflix. The Grimm Variations showcases a duo of brothers, Jacob and Wilhelm, who authored a compilation of fairy tales and published them as a book. Accompanying them is their younger sister, Charlotte. During a storytelling session with their little sister, she promptly inquires whether the tale being recounted has a joyful conclusion or not. The trailer merely provides a glimpse into the first episode, leaving viewers with multiple conjectures about the story’s outcome.
The German folklore collection narrates an original tale of Charlotte, whose beliefs diverge from those of her siblings. Michiko Yokote authored Grimm Variations, with George Wada as the producer. The anime adaptation will be available for streaming in 190 nations. The narrative encompasses a mix of captivating genres such as horror, suspense, and thriller, promising a more thrilling experience than the book. Misato Fukuen provides the voice for the character Charlotte, whereas Tatsuhisa Suzuki and Kenji Nojima voice Jacob and Wilhelm, respectively, in The Grimm’s Variations. Michiko Yokote penned the anime, and the music was composed by Akira Miyagawa.
