"OFFICIAL TRAILER | Shenmue the Animation | adult swim"
(EDIT) Embed removed and replaced with a simple link to Youtube search, since the video I originally used has since been marked as private, leaving the description text below orphaned, but whatever. (/EDIT)
Join Ryo on his journey to become the ultimate martial artist and avenge his father’s death. Shenmue the Animation, a Crunchyroll and Adult Swim Original, begins February 5th!
Shenmue debuted first as a video game by SEGA for the Dreamcast on December 29, 1999. Since then, its captivating characters and riveting storytelling. Now over 20 years later, the 13-episode anime adaptation aims to capture the same essence of mystery and thrilling martial arts.
The fuck is this? Weird. Also, kinda funny how I mostly don't give a shit about this at all now, when in the past I'd have been all over it. (Just for the record, as of the time of writing this post, I still have yet to bother to install Shenmue 3 let alone play it, even though I did eventually buy it a while back. Haven't installed or played Shenmue I & II yet, either, for that matter. Not saying I'll never do so, just saying it's not a priority for me, even a little bit.)
Found out about this via a tweet from Tokoz on Twitter (who keeps her profile protected, otherwise I'd embed it and my replies here). Mostly she and I were questioning the rather... odd directorial choices made with the voices in this. I feel like it has to be intentional, perhaps to keep with the "charm" of the original games, which were notorious for their own terrible voice acting, as well. I mean, surely, something this bad wouldn't have been allowed to slip through by accident, right?
And I was wondering if the animation would also just stop 40% through the story the same way the games do.
