Preliminary (4/6 eps)
Grimm Kumikyoku does a fantastic job at it's art, storytelling and characters. Each episode follows a different twisted fairytale with different types of horror that will have you squirming. So no matter which type of horror you find the most scary, Grim Kumiyoku probably has an episode perfect for you!

Like stated before, all 6 episodes follow a different fairytale. There are six episodes in total, all following beloved stories. But you wouldn't dare telling these ones to your children. You have Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, Hansel and Gretel, The Elves and the Shoemaker, The Town Musicians of Bremen and Pied Piper of Hamelin. Horror is subjective, and not everyone will find creepy little girls or slasher terrifying. So what Grimm Kumikyoku does is make each episode based on a different type of horror. The storyline of each episode is compelling and interesting to watch. I was on the edge of my seat for the few I've watched throughout them and I don't doubt that it'll be different for the next 2.

The visuals are also just gorgeous, they nailed the aesthetics for this anime. Something noticeable about the artwork is how they tackle the medieval writers' vibe at the start of episodes. The artists make the scenes between Charlotte, Jacob and Wilhelm look like it's a sketch on a piece of old and yellowed paper. Which fits exactly what time period it's based in. They carry this look onto the outro and it fits so well.

Definitely watch it if you have the time too, it is worth the experience.
