I loved Netflix's live action take on the Witcher series, and this animated movie didn't disappoint either. If you like violent shows, the dark fantasy genre, and watching badass guys taking out monsters, then this is for you.

The story was captivating and kept me hooked the whole time, the fight scenes were alright, the story telling and the animation especially strongly reminded me of Castlevania, which I loved as well. If you're a fan of Castlevania, Hellsing, Berserk, or anything like it, chances are, you'll enjoy this movie and the Witcher franchise in general. Another thing that I found pretty cool, Theo James who voiced Hector in Castlevania also voices Vesemir in this movie. I wish the characters had some more development, though, they were pretty underdeveloped, but that doesn't come off as surprising considering this was a mere 1 hr, 20 min movie.

Studio Mir, the South Korean animation studio that gave us Legend of Korra, Voltron, Dota: Dragon's Blood, Big Fish and Begonia (a masterpiece), and now Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf, has really been upping its game lately. Can't wait to see what else they got in store for us.
