Is The Witcher anime? It's definitely literature, and we decided it's anime enough for this podcast! K and Danny are joined by our friend Elise to talk about the recent Netflix adaptation of The Witcher. Elise helps us compare to the books and games, and we talk about themes, writing, amazing female characters, the difference a female showrunner makes, and our excitement about the series (and Geralt's ass). [Contains mild spoilers for the Netflix "The Witcher" series, but is spoiler-free for the books/games.] Follow us on Twitter: Email: Opening/Ending music: "Toss A Coin To Your Witcher" from Netflix's The Witcher OST (and now it's stuck in your head, too)
