After being an unprecedented success on Netflix, there will be anime by The Witcher. Those who animated The Legend of Korra and Voltron will.
If you've been online in the last month, chances are you've come across a lot of images of Henry Cavill or the song "Toss a Coin to your witcher«. And it is thatNetflix He has scored a huge goal with his adaptation of The Witcher based on the books that gave rise to video games.
After the series comes the anime movie
As Scott Steiner would say: the numbers don't lie. With only eleven days on the service, The Witcher is the second most watched Netflix original series on the platform in 2019. It is only surpassed by the third season of Stranger Things. That is to say, with less than two weeks it is the most viewed throughout the year and without hinting at anything about the rest of the premieres and new seasons.
But are they people who have seen it for seeing something and then abandoned it or got involved? Steam says that the number of users of the games rose after the premiere. This is why Netflix has given the green light to the second season, which we already knew weeks ago that they were going to do it, and of an anime movie.
Yes, as you have read: anime. It is one of the sectors that Netflix wants to promote: it has exclusive licenses such as High Score Girl, Beastars Devilman Crybaby ... And with the movie anime The Witcher wants to generate synergy and remove barriers just like it does with the Castlevania series.
Lauren S. Hissrich and Beau DeMayo are known to be on the narrative and directing team. The anime film will be animated by Studio Mir, who animation fans will recognize from most episodes of The Legend of Korra, the Voltron reboot, and movies like Big Fish and Begonia and The Death of Superman. It’s clear they want to use the same approach they used with Castlevania: appeal to anime fans who want to watch stuff on Netflix, and to fans of the original franchise. Let’s see how the animation plays out in the theme.Toss a coin to your witcher«.
