The six-part anime series will premiere on Netflix on April 17.
Netflix describes the anime:
Once upon a time, brothers Jacob and Wilhelm collected fairy tales from across the land and compiled them into a book. They also have a much younger sister, the innocent and curious Charlotte, whom they love very much. One day, while the two brothers were telling Charlotte a fairy tale as usual, they saw that she had a somewhat melancholy look on her face. She asked them, “Do you think 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 completely differently from her brothers.
