Do we still have contacts with Kid Nocon? If he's still on the payroll for Yu Suzuki, that'll def be a big pointer to SIV.
You joke but that is probably the best thing to come out of the franchise in over a decade... genuine a fun experience!Exciting news ahead! What a great day!
The "sour" part of the announcement I would bet will be that the new anime diverts a good amount in tone or content from the games. In the worst case, something like the World of Final Fantasy game where it was all chibi versions of the characters LOL:
Lan Di looks like Kylo Ren there, it's a great interpretation though.Love this artwork
Oh God. The only thing in this world I love as much as Shenmue is Berserk. I can't take another Berserk 2016 situation, I just can't. My heart couldn't handle it.As long as the anime isn’t the Berserk 2016-style animation I’m interested.
For Shenmue's story to be presented outside of a video game is what we needed all this time.
Unfortunately, I do not have any videogame experience pure backend AWS/webservices experience here.What is it exactly you're looking to do? If you have previous game development experience, you could potentially join the team as some of our team members have had no prior UE experience but are still able to help out. I dedicate roughly 90% of my spare time to something Shenmue-related, so I'm always around.
I hope its not 3D CGI as those seem to be quite janky on the animation side. Dorohedoro, Beastars, the Ghost in the shell have been 3D and damn how nonfluid the animation is in those.It’s got to be Netflix. They seem to be investing a LOT into original content.

I suppose if there's a crunchyroll event this weekend and the announcement is supposed to be this weekend, then it does line up that an anime could be announced. I'm not sure how that would be "sweet and sour", though I suppose anything that's not Shenmue IV would be considered "sour". My other thought is that "sweet and sour" would mean that Sega is back onboard in investing in a new and smaller installment, or some sort of remake of Shenmue 1-3. It would be sour because it would remind us of all the neglect they've had for the franchise over the years, only for a kickstarter project to revive the series for them.
If it's an anime, I wouldn't worry about the story going past Shenmue III. It would make no sense for them to do this, and other game properties like Persona have had one off anime series based off of individual installments.
SEGA does a lot of anime promotion, Valkyria Chronicles 1 had it, the new Sakura wars also had it so it is kinda a good sign IMHo if they support a Shenmue anime.It would make no sense for them to do this, and other game properties like Persona have had one off anime series based off of individual installments.
And just to confirm the announcement is not that your remake is being officially recognized by SEGA and licensed?
I wouldn't mind if an anime goes past 4, but as long as it doesn't dip into important threads that I'd prefer to be introduced in 4 like Shenhua's secret history or Ryo meeting Ziming.I was about to make a post last night that said "Man, the hype on this peaked too early. It seems we still have 1-3 weeks left before hearing any news", but didn't post because I thought it wouldn't add anything. I sure would have looked dumb(er)!

If Shibuya Productions is involved with this new project whatever it may be (likely a new anime), I will be so relieved.Okay guys. Looks like it's all figured out !
On saturday we will get the announce of 'Shibuya productions' new anime. Hopefully a series...
Yes, it totally looks like Cedric's kinda angry answer points he is the producer of this anime. And as someone pointed out : he knows the date of the announce, when some days ago he did pretend he didn't know anything about this .
Shibuya Productions did a reboot for Astro Boy, Cobra, and last year they organized the meeting between the japanese creator of Captain Harlock and a french drawer in order for them to collaborate on another reboot... Linking people and getting IP's is a part of their job.
They did negociate Sega's permission to create Shenmue 3 and helped to produce it. They know Yu Suzuki very well. It means he's on board, which is reassuring. And maybe they have Kenji Miyawaki (Shenmue's main character designer) to design the anime.
Shibuya respects the original creations and works with artists to make it look modern. I totally trust them to pay respect to Shenmue. Plus : with their new Manga label "Iwa", it opens ways for a Shenmue manga afterwards... Can't wait !

For me I think the "sour" part of this is likely that it is an "anime" (or whatever it turns out to be) and as such would be so because it wouldn't be a game, which would be expected.
