More about The Grimm Variations
The Grimm Variations is an upcoming Japanese original net animation anthology series produced by Wit Studio and is based on the Brothers Grimm fairy tales.
Here’s how Netflix describes the anthology:
"Once upon a time, brothers Jacob and Wilhelm collected fairy tales from across the land and made them into a book. They also had a much younger sister, the innocent and curious Charlotte, who they loved very much. One day, while the brothers were telling Charlotte a fairy tale like usual, they saw that she had a somewhat melancholy look on her face.
She asked them, 'Do you suppose they really lived happily ever after?' The pages of Grimms' Fairy Tales, written by Jacob and Wilhelm, are now presented from the unique perspective of Charlotte, who sees the stories quite differently from her brothers."
In February 2020, before any promotional material was shown off, Netflix announced a collaboration of six mangaka creators with one being a group of female artists collectively known as Clamp. In June 2021, a promotional teaser poster was unveiled albeit just a key visual and the Netflix logo.
It was also revealed that Wit Studio will be producing the anime series, and that Michiko Yokote serves as its scriptwriter. In March 2024, it was announced that the title of the project is The Grimm Variations and that Akira Miyagawa would be composing the music. At the AnimeJapan 2024 convention, the episode titles was revealed, with each episode directed by a different director.
