I have never seen the series, so my opinion about it has nothing to do with the universe that encompasses this character, in fact I didn't even know it existed, it just caught my attention, and in the end after evading it so much I decided to give it a look, and I don't regret it, because it is highly entertaining, and serves to pass the time and get to know the character first hand.
Although I am not a lover of current animations, I must say that this one has interesting elements, for example, the environment where the story unfolds, is well detailed in terms of scenario, they took care of details in everything and delivered a very colorful product.
Another important element were the battles, nothing impressive, but not something completely taken out of reality, which is appreciated, because we see a character, who despite not being human - I do not know what he is - is not invincible, he requires help at times to accomplish his goals.

One element that I do not appreciate, is the sensual or erotic theme. In most current animations there are sexual scenes, which do not really add to the story or plot that you want to present, therefore I consider it very unnecessary, for example in Castlevania there are and do not contribute much, in the blue-eyed samurai also, and it's the same, it just seems to be a theme that can not be ignored, even if it does not have an important weight that changes or helps for better or worse to the character.
Now, talking about the plot, it could be defined as a punctual adventure, or one more episode in the trajectory of the main character, who is known as the Warlock, a monster hunter who has lived many years and knows many aspects of human beings, so when he is hired for a job he gets involved in a bigger plot that causes a war between two species.

That is the main context, and from there other aspects are derived, such as the relationship between the human prince and the mermaid princess, a cliché nothing new of love affairs between species but that, very well worked does not cease to be interesting, even taking certain arguments of the original story of Disney's Little Mermaid, which are definitely nothing new.
In short, it is an animation that you can enjoy, it has good fights, an entertaining plot and characters that capture the attention of the audience, I consider among other elements, that is a point in its favor, so you can watch it quietly and have a nice time, much more if you have not seen the original series, so you do not make a prejudice of what you want to see in the animated character.

The Witcher: Las sirenas de las profundidades es una animación mejor de lo que esperaba
Jamás he visto la serie, así que mi opinión al respecto nada tiene que ver con el universo que engloba a este personaje, de hecho ni siquiera sabía que existía, solo me llamo la atención, y al final después de evadirla tanto decidí darle un vistazo, y no me arrepiento, pues es sumamente entretenida, y sirve para pasar el rato y conocer de primera entrada al personaje.
Si bien no soy amante de las animaciones actuales, debo decir que esta tiene elementos interesantes, por ejemplo, el ambiente donde se desarrolla la historia, es bien detallado en cuanto a escenario se refiere, cuidaron detalles en todo y entregaron un producto muy vistoso.
Otro elemento importante fueron las batallas, nada impresionante, pero tampoco algo sacado totalmente de la realidad, lo cual se agradece, porque vemos un personaje, que a pesar de no ser humano – no sé qué es - no es invencible, requiere ayuda en ocasiones para cumplir son sus objetivos.
Un elemento que si no aprecio, es el tema sensual o erótico. En la mayoría de animaciones actuales hay escenas sexuales, que realmente no suman a la historia o argumento que se quiere presentar, por lo tanto lo considero muy innecesario, por ejemplo en Castlevania las hay y no aportan mayor cosa, en el samurái de ojos azules también, y es lo mismo, simplemente parece ser un tema que no se puede obviar, aun cuando no tenga un peso importante que cambie o ayude para bien o para mal al personaje.
Ahora bien, hablando de la trama, se podría definir como una aventura puntual, o un episodio más en la trayectoria del personaje principal, quien es conocido como el Brujo, un cazador de monstruos que ha vivido muchos años y conoce muchos aspectos de los seres humanos, por lo que al ser contratado para un trabajo se ve envuelto en un complot más grande que causa una guerra entre dos especies.
Ese es el contexto principal, y de allí se derivan otros aspectos, como la relación entre el príncipe humano y la princesa sirena, un cliché nada nuevo de amoríos entre especies pero que, muy bien trabajado no deja de ser interesante, incluso, toman ciertos argumentos de la historia original de la sirenita de Disney, que definitivamente no son nada nuevos.
En definitiva, es una animación que se puede disfrutar, tiene buenos combates, una trama entretenida y personajes que captan la atención de la audiencia, considero entre otros elementos, que es un punto a su favor, así que puedes verla tranquilamente y pasar un rato agradable, mucho más si no has visto la serie original, así no te haces un prejuicio de lo que deseas ver en el personaje animado.

Wow, man, I had only seen the series and I really loved it. I had seen several posts about this new animated series and I think that after reading your review I might give it a chance to see how it goes. The drawings look great, it looks like it's well done.
Greetings 😉
Friend, I have only had the opportunity to see "The Witcher" on Netflix and in the game, but I just found out that an animated version has come out, the drawings look really good.
Thanks for sharing this review, I definitely have to give it a chance to watch it.
No matter how much I stare at it I only see Henry Cavill's face getting animated. I really like how he portrayed the Witcher (and it's sad that he doesn't portray that role anymore in its current season). It's like his face is the reference for its MC's character design so I'm a little intrigued to watch it and reading your review just made that interest grow more. I will add this one to my to-watch list, and I hope I can watch it later when I finish the ones I'm currently watching.
Btw, thanks for sharing!
