| Pied Piper of Hamelin The most satisfying moment of this episode was Maria kicking away that filthy teacher. Overall it was a nice quick watch I just wish they connected all of them in a way and the stories were longer For me it goes as Cinderella > The Elves and the shoemaker > Hansel & Gretel > Pied Piper of Hamelin > Little Red Riding hood > The Town musicians of Bremen |
RealNath said: This episode seems to have way higher video bitrate (around 4k) than all the other ones (around 1k), wonder why. Anyway, I have so many questions about this episode. Like, I thought the teacher told the redhead to get out of his house, but then she's suddenly underground. Was it because the traveler played the music off-screen (not shown in the anime)? Also, he fell into underground and the trapdoor seemed to be locked, which is why he couldn't get out. But then, he suddenly got outside a few moments later. I guess her fiance got NTR'd, huh? Also felt bad for her parents, they aren't the bad guys but lost their daughter. I assumed he went back and beat the Piper cause he was enamored with the painting. |
| This retelling wasn't as cohesive to me. There are too many holes. For me the main one being did they find out she went to bed with the teacher? If not what was the adults discussing while she was in her room? Don't even get me started about the end. |
| well they saved the worst for last. most boring one by far but i guess it also has to do with the fact that this is the only story i didn't know. cinderella > little red riding hood > the town musicians of bremen >>>> hansel & gretel > the elves and the shoemaker > pied piper of hamelin. it's like a 7 or 6.5/10 for me because that bottom 3 really bored me, the start was strong at least. |

| Damn, what a drug filled moment in the end with the piper. I had several issues with these. I think animation for all were pretty damn good. Imo, i felt the cinderella one was not really impressive. Whole ep was to show how fucking mental kiyoko was. Like it stated at the end, what if cinderella was bad as well as red riding hood. However, I just wasnt really feeling them that much. It was not something new which is fine. I would have liked some sort of cohesiveness with the stories. I felt this framing of these grim tales could have been better setup. I was kinda dissapointed by some parts despite the equivalent of 2 eps for each story. I thought some parts didnt make sense or didnt do enough. If i had to rank them: Elves and the shoemaker>hansel & gretel > Pied piper of hamelin> town musicians of bremen>cinderella>little red riding hood |

| Despite a unbearable thing or two (like the teacher's overzealous obsession for Maria (which ends up becoming his way of declaring his (perhaps unhealty) love for her) and the fact that it lacked a bit of cohesiveness ...it's still an enjoyable varation: nothing more, nothing less |

| This was kinda of a disappointing series for me. Not one episode was anything special or made me feel like I would recommend to someone. The twists of each were not as dark or thought provoking as the original tales. I was hoping for some payoff or bigger tie with the two brothers and their sister to at least makeup for these shortcomings but even that felt just thrown in to have a reason to tell us these stories. |

@THE-DOG-CATCHER yeah from the trailer you expect them to be darker and all the protagonists to be the villians of there stories like how cinderella was the bad guy in hers but that could have been darker, the rest of them the MC's from the original didn't really seem like they where the villains. the whole time i was expecting something to happen with the siblings even or the last episode to focus more on them or to just be about them but they where kinda just there. i think some of the Grimes original story was darker then these. and they at least made kinda sense some of these like the shoemaker episode i have no clue what happened at all it was so confusing.
| @PrincessJAM The shoemaker episode was the only one that I didn't follow all the way. I understood the message and the idea but the final few minutes kinda felt like it was out of left field. I don't understand at what point he had passed or if it was foreshadowed somewhere in the episode and was not interested enough to re-watch to figure out. I even looked up the tales it was adapting for that and couldn't place that plot point. I am ok with an episodic show but the last scene feels like it was implying that there was some greater overarching story that just wasn't there with the siblings. |

| I have never seen anything so lewd. Scandalous! It was good overall, i like some more, some less. Little Red Riding Hood and The Town Musicians of Bremen are the weakest ones. I'm not saying they are bad. 7/10 |
My Candies:         |
| why'd they have to end on the worst episode of the bunch, laugh... Literally winded up skipping some of the incel teacher's monologue. |
 |
| alternative version of Pied Piper of Hamelin to closed the season!!! It was cool, Maria a girl closed in a mountain towns without daily beauty changed the day that arrived a traveller!!! The teacher, horrible human! Gran Code, the worst!! harshness and misfortune!! 7/10 for this "fairy tail" and 7/10 for all the season, I enjoyed!!! kekeke |
| why was everyone in this ep such a dick? made them pretty hard to relate to and root for, none of them at all endearing. overall this is a mixed bag I guess, wish I could rate the eps individually. 3 & 4 by far the best of the bunch, would be 8 and 9 respectively, 4 was easily my favourite and the best ep imo. the rest were just average, so maybe a 7/10 in total the more average eps bringing the overall score down for me! Still worth the watch tho! I'm tempted to tell anyone I recommend this to start at eps 3 & 4 since they're all self contained. |

Lmaoo, who would've thought we'd see Nasujima from Durarara twin in another anime. Not only they work as teacher, they have similar design and personalities too. |

| this was like re-watching The Village (2004) |
 |
| Yep, Cinderella was the peak of this serie, but all the story are interesting especialy 4# and 6# |
| overall decent but charlotte and her brothers don't even do anything to the story, might just cut them from the story. I was expecting horror because of the horror tag but only met with gore, should have been gore not horror tag. the pied piper story is quite weird, they are really exited because of the picture but the next thing is they are already in bed naked? why get excited over a photo of a man and woman embracing themselves if you can do it yourself lol. |
| Uh... honestly not sure what's going on with this one. It started off interesting with the whole secluded village far from civilization, but there's like barely any point of this story at all. Good start, pointless ending. It's rather similar to the Hansel and Gretel in EP3, but slightly worse. Also not a fan of the whole psychedelic / "experimental art" section at the end. Last two episodes has been a disappointment for me. But overall, still quite enjoyable watch. |
| A huge waste, some episodes were fine while the majority were mediocre. |
| This episode was definitely the most dystopian in my opinion. Yet it had the least amount of science fiction elements! Maria is a smart cookie and I was rooting for her to get away from this awful town that locks joys away from its citizens. Yet I also realize at the end that the town made her weird too. This show was definitely great. I love reading fairy tales and thinking about the lessons that can be gleamed from them, so an anime dedicated to them was a dream in my book. 8/10 |
 |
| Least intense out of all the 6, wouldn't say bad tho |
 |
| I didn’t think anything could top Hansel and Gretel but I think this one might be my favorite or a tie. I was glued to the screen. Very fun episode. I loved Maria. I don’t really think it has much to do with the actual fairy tale but i loved it as its own story. Really hope they make more of these plus I absolutely love the art and character designs, especially Charlotte. She’s super pretty. |

| My 273rd completed series chronologically. For the record, I extended it a 6/10 rating. |
| God, this must've been the single most annoying and boring anime episode that i've watched in a long time. Left a sour taste in my mouth. Shame, because some of these were quite interesting, but overall series felt meaningless and ultimately it fell flat for me. |
 |
| They cooked. SO UNDERRATED ! |
| anticlimactic and pretentious. |
| This was by far the worst episode of the bunch. I will admit the animation was pretty good, but there are too many holes and plot conveniences. @HeadShadow nice theory. I surely wouldn't have thought of any of this. |
