Introduction
Within one's Book of Fate is their destiny. Written by the mysterious Story Tellers, these books decide every small detail of one's life. Some Story Tellers, however, choose to interfere with the stories of others rather than write their own. These malevolent beings are known as Chaos Tellers, who seek to ruin stories by overwriting the Books of Fate.
Ex, Reina, Tao, and Shane were born with blank books. Ostracized by society due to this abnormality, they abandon their respective stories in search of better lives. In the vast unknown, they encounter famous fairy tale characters such as Cinderella, Momotarou, and Snow White. All the while, they work to subdue the Chaos Tellers and return peace and order to the stories.

This anime would be good if you're like under 10 years old. Art is average compared to other shows out there, same with soundtrack. Nothing overly amazing. I was quite bored by the repetitiveness of the show.
TLDR;
Save yourself the time and skip this anime unless you want to watch it with your 5 year old. You aren't missing much.
Every episode aside from the first one, follows the same format. Every single episode involves our group of protagonists in a different fantasy story universe (Cinderella, Snow White, Alice in Wonderland, you name it). In every single one, the episode starts with the telling of that short story. Then the episode pans back to the protagonists where they need to look for the Chaos Teller, who is literally causing chaos in that world as their name suggests. In…

TL;DR Review: This anime is confused what even constitutes as a fairy tale and of the sources its using as inspiration, it certainly can't distinguish the tales that were actually compiled by the Grimm brothers vs the ones that never were told in it. However, just as confused is its ability to tell a coherent story or even explain some of its world structures. The show can be summarized as "random fairy tale scenes made into anime with sentai or sailor moon mixed in, because why the fuck not?"

Art: 4
Hardly any details in the drawings. Bland and stereotypical character designs. Not much of note in the background. Hey at least this show shades and highlights their shit in?

Equally bland but at least its not earsplitting. Absolutely nothing mem…

No spoilers.
This anime was fairly enjoyable. There's really not much to say about it because I found it quite mediocre, but the core concept behind the series is very cool in my opinion. I probably would have given it a 5 if I didn't find the basic concept so neat. They could have done a whole lot with it, but really the show was just sort of, well, there. It wasn't bad, but none of the characters were overly endearing and the plot wasn't very deep. Just a sort of average anime. Not bad at all, none of the characters grated on my nerves or anything, but not spectacular in any way.

Just a warning note, I knew of the game and have played it at the time of its release. However, even though I did enjoy and see great potential in its story line, I still dropped playing the game pretty early on since I saw no chance of an ending to the game's plot. This review will be heavily affected by that experience.
Also, this review will have heavy spoilers for the series and only serves as a view to it instead of a conclusion. If you really want to know what it's like, try the series out anyway.

For the first thing, as I mentioned above, I saw great potential in Grimms Note story line.
Like you would have seen it many time in the Anime had you run through it once, basically, everyone has a book telling them what will happen in t…

Okay I wont say much here, only giving a bit perspective as the player of the game.
Overall, it IS an absolute disgusting, atrocious work, as expected from most mobile game adaptation. The original version of the game is respected by its fanbase for its gorgeus art, deep-twisting storyline and character development, also adopting a classical celtic-like orchestral opening music and background theme instead of the generic pop genre. It offers the vibe like seeing a theatrical play. But almost none of those quality is found here, or should I say none at all? Never mind the satisfaction it gives from watching.
Story - It follows neither for non-game player understanding nor faithful to its original work. The anime direction staffs take where their gut feeling told them, leading into disarra…

If you want to know whether you should watch this anime, the most basic notion I can give you of it is that it delivers very visceral enjoyment- good music and clean art, a bit of action, the glee of seeing how they adapt each tale, and so on...however, in what I surmise to be the result of a far too direct adaptation, this anime fell quite short of what it could have been. It's a classic case of a jaw-dropping premise resulting in work with a pile of wasted potential. It can be enjoyed, I certainly did, but don't expect any life-changing experience out of it.
By far the best aspect of the show is the way they adapt the classic European and Japanese tales. A bit of anime flair is given to them, but more importantly they breathe life and energy into characters which are staler in the more…

Kingdom Hearts: Brothers Grimm Edition!
Mobile game anime adaptation has distilled what with the revival of isekai animes and whatnot but seeing, Grimms Notes The Animation and LA's attitude towards mobile game adaptations of it piquing LA's interest towards the mobile game itself, does the anime do any favours?
Grimms Notes The Animation takes place in a world where everyone has books that tells of their fate and the people are cordoned off in "Story Zones", but "Chaos Tellers" invade writing and twisting the fates of the Story Zones, but it's up to those with blank books to change fate and realign the Story Zones to their proper fates. So yeah...LA's nudge that this is like Kingdom Hearts but for Brothers Grimm stories is quite telling and this being actually a mobile game with Square…

The great majority of people have encountered fairy tales at some phase in their life. Stories such as Snow White, The Little Red Riding Hood, and Cinderella have been around for centuries, and, in fact, were compiled into a single book by Jakob and Wilhelm Grimm in 1812 (known as Grimms’ Fairy Tales — hence, the anime name, Grimms Notes). Implementing a twist on old classics is generally encouraged, in a…
