Grimms Notes the Animation is a fantasy anime television series produced by Square Enix and broadcasted by the Tokyo Broadcasting System (TBS) in 2019. The show is based on a popular mobile game in which players explore a world inspired by fairy tales and legends.

The story follows a young boy named Ex who lives in a world where every person's fate is predetermined by a book called a Grimm's Notebook. These notebooks are given to every person at birth and dictate their personalities, abilities, and paths in life. Ex, unlike most people, doesn't have a notebook, and this creates a sense of unease in him, as he is unsure of his destiny.

One day, Ex meets a mysterious girl named Reina who possesses a unique notebook called the Book of Friends. Reina is on the run from the evil organization called the Brotherhood, which seeks to use the power of all the Grimm's Notebooks to control the world's fate. Ex decides to join Reina and her companions and sets out on a journey to collect the scattered pages of the Book of Friends and stop the Brotherhood's plans.

Throughout their journey, the group encounters a diverse cast of characters inspired by various fairy tales and legends, such as Cinderella, Little Red Riding Hood, and Alice in Wonderland. These characters have their motives, personalities, and abilities that they have gained from their Grimm's Notebooks. Ex, Reina, and their companions also have unique abilities that they can use in battle, which are influenced by the pages they collect.

The show's animation is top-notch, with vibrant colors, detailed character designs, and smooth action sequences. The soundtrack is also excellent, with a blend of orchestral and rock music that adds to the show's exciting atmosphere.

One of the show's strengths is its world-building. The setting is a unique blend of various fairy tales and legends that create a world that is both familiar and unpredictable. The show's lore and mythology, which revolve around the concept of fate and free will, are fascinating and add depth to the characters' stories.

Grimms Notes the Animation is not without its flaws. The show's pacing is somewhat uneven, with some episodes feeling slow and others rushed. Some episodes also feel like filler and don't contribute much to the overall plot.

Additionally, the show's characters, while visually striking, lack depth. The character arcs are often predictable, and some characters are underutilized, making them feel like background characters.

In conclusion, Grimms Notes the Animation is a beautifully animated, action-packed, and engaging show that is worth watching for fans of fantasy and fairy tales. Despite its flaws, the show's unique world-building and exciting storyline make it an enjoyable watch.

Grimms Notes the Animation is a series that ran for 1 seasons (12 episodes) between January 10, 2019 and on Tokyo Broadcasting System
