Netflix has released a trailer and visual for The Grimm Variations anime.
The premise of the Grimms’ Fairy Tales-inspired show has also been revealed. “Once upon a time, brothers Jacob and Wilhelm collected fairy tales from across the land and made them into a book,” reads the trailer’s video description. “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.”
Charlotte is voiced by Misato Fukuen, while Jacob and Wilhelm are voiced by Tatsuhisa Suzuki and Kenji Nojima, respectively.
The anime’s April 17 release date was previously revealed by Comic Natalie, who also reported that the show will be an anthology that covers six tales.
