Well it kind of is. Most of these stories are public domain, this is going to be no different than what they did in the 80's if this straight adaption of these stories. Though knowing CLAMP, these stories will connect to each other, probably have a big finale when all those characters come together. Anyway I am just hoping for a Little Mermaid with the death of the main character, it is about this generation and the generation before, anyone from 1989 - present, learned what really happened.

That's only if they use Hans Christian Andersen's stories, too, though. Andersen's work is mostly literary fairy tales (i.e. short fantasy stories meant to sound like folklore), but more importantly are from Denmark. The Brothers Grimm only collected stories from Germany; it's just that their work has become synonymous with "fairy tales" to the exclusion of other folklorists (like Joseph Jacobs and Charles Marelle) and literary fairy tale writers. |

Netflix are able to greenlight productions that may not go over very well with otaku in Japan; just keep that in mind

There actually is one. Toei made their own anime movie of Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Mermaid in 1975, and Discotek Media released it on DVD back in 2015. You can find cheap copies of it here: https://www.amazon.com/Hans-Christian-Andersens-Little-Mermaid/dp/B013D10GLA/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=the+little+mermaid+1975&qid=1623806246&s=movies-tv&sr=1-1 spoiler[In this version, the mermaid character, Marina, does indeed die.]
Indeed. I kind of wish they'd do more with the resources they have. Since Netflix doesn't have broadcasting/censorship standards like cable TV does, creators do have more freedom with their content depending on the situation. I'd love for Japanese creators to make use of Netflix to do things like, say, bring back the World Masterpiece Theater (i.e. make new anime for it) or make old school magical girl anime like Creamy Mami or Fancy Lala. The possibilities are endless, and a platform like Netflix should be able to open those doors if the executives would let them. |

So that is why there is no Little Mermaid episode in the 87 anime. Though if there was, I don't know if it would be dubbed and aired on Nickelodeon. |

CLAMP is also doing the character designs for the latest Cardfight Vanguard series. It's interesting to see them doing more anime character design work lately.

So if they are the brothers grim does that mean they are going to do similar to the recent TV brother grim series and write a story about the authors instead of the collected fairy tales?

The live-action TV show "Faerie Tale Theatre" did a relatively faithful recreation that aired on American television in 1987, though you're right, not on Nickelodeon as I recall. (You can watch it here.) The series was billed as family-friendly and it's pretty good, keeping in mind terrible casting choices like Mick Jagger as the Emperor of China in "The Nightingale" episode and the seriously creepy sexual overtones in "Hansel and Gretel." |

So, are you implying that REAL anime fans can only like isekai/romcom/moe otaku trash and those of us who like stuff like Devilman/Hero Mask/great Pretender or Castlevania are just casual fans or hip kids? Sorry to disappoint you but neither I nor a lot of people I know who also have enjoyed a ton of Netflix shows fall into either category. As I said before, Netflix is here to stay so just deal with it already and try to do something more useful with your time, pretty please?? |

Wow so many people really think Netflix involve with most of their exclusive show?
If you live in Japan and Open Netflix Great pretender,Violet evergarden,Dorohedoro etc. dont have "N Series" LOGO Because they only have the right to stream outside Japan It just a Exclusive deal and they put their N logo in it The one they actually involve/co-produce should be a show like Baki,Kengan,,Cannon Busters because it is ONA which is mean you can only watch from Streaming service But for TV Series. they just get the right to stream it outside Japan Same with the upcoming anime like Eden zero,Gundum hathaway |

Either way, it doesn't invalidate our point that Netflix is capable of hosting good and bad content like the rest of the streaming services. |

There seems to be a common misconception that the only anime available on Netflix are "originals." Netflix licenses most of the anime in its catalog the same as every other streaming service. The US site has around 240 Japanese-language titles. A handful are live-action. Most are anime.
Here is a small sampling: Anohana, A Silent Voice, Angel Beats, Bleach, Clannad, Demon Slayer, Durarara (1 season), Fullmetal Alchemist (both versions), Garden of Words, Girls und Panzer, Gundam (6 classic series scheduled so far), K-On, March Comes in Like a Lion, Mirai, Naruto, Neon Genesis Evangelion, Okko's Inn, One Punch Man, Sword Art Online, Toradora. And, frankly, when it comes to the "originals," Netflix bats above average there too. |

I never replied to you, I posted a comment with my thoughts on it. You replied to me and started this discussion. If you don't don't want to talk about it, fine, just don't start a debate and then ask me to not to talk about it. |
