or see what Ryo was doing moments before running home to the Dojo, I always wondered about that.
"Gotta hit the can, my man!"

Nah you're wrong. One scene showing Ryo bonding with the other workers, it's fun. If it's afraid of being Shenmue, then they shouldn't bother.
SpoilerOne thing I want to see in this Anime is how Ryo got his Jacket. I know it sounds trivial, but I would like to see an origin story for Ryo's Jacket, rather it be a last gift from Iwao or a graduation gift from Nozomi.

He did, but after the announcement he also said that he gets his information from a variety of sources and that as some of those sources are more reliable than other - not everything he said about the project is necessarily accurate.Didn't the leaker say it will cover Shenmue II but not all of it? If that's true then there's no way we'd get as far as the cave. My gut reaction is it'll end in Kowloon, with Lan Di escaping in the helicopter or after saying goodbye to Ren, Wong and Joy, with Ryo on the boat to Guilin -- but I need to think about it some more.
The accuracy thing makes sense.He did, but after the announcement he also said that he gets his information from a variety of sources and that as some of those sources are more reliable than other - not everything he said about the project is necessarily accurate.
Whilst I do think that Sh1 lacks the depth for a 13 episode season and that bundling it together with part of Sh2 would make the most sense, I wouldnโt be too surprised if they stretched it out for the sake of if keeping it to 1 season per game. Ryo defeating Chai and leaving Japan would make for a nice way to close out the season if they could add enough compelling plot line to fill the 12 episodes before it.
If Dragon ball has taught me anything itโs that anime shows are more than happy to drag things out.The accuracy thing makes sense.
Personally I'll be surprised if they spend 13 episodes on S1 alone. Unless it's going to faithfully imitate the slow pace of the games, which would mean getting granular with Ryo's investigation around Dobuita and the harbour. I struggle to see that happening but who knows. I just think it'll move at a faster pace, as is typically the way with these things (from what I've heard anyway, from those who've watched the Persona anime, etc.).
I know some fans are against it, but I think picking up the pace is probably a smart way to go. Yes, a key part of Shenmue is experiencing every day life, but I think that can be conveyed in subtle ways while focussing on the key themes that Suzuki mentioned in his little interview.
Yeah, thatโs kind of how I see things going although Iโd introduce Chen a lot sooner and scrap the sailors altogether.Ep. 1: Iwao murdered, intro to family and friends (Ine, Fuku, Nozomi), capsule toys, kitten, investigation reaches at least "ask Chinese people" stage
Ep 2: Arcade, school thugs fight, double blow, looking for sailors, sailors bar fight
Ep 3: Head to the harbour, Goro, meet the Chens
Ep 4: Sword hand guard, more Nozomi, find Phoenix mirror
Ep 5: Meet Chens, Chai, find out about Mad Angels, get a forklift job
Ep 6: Find out about Hong Kong, Nozomi kidnapped, 70 man battle, off to HK
Just a quick, off the top of my head idea of how S1 could be done in ~6 episodes. I can see various elements such as "Chinese people", Charlie, and the airplane ticket being scrapped for more interesting stuff.
Yeah, no matter how they choose to slice it, half the runtime seems enough to convey the main thrust of S1: the mystery, the characters, the cliffhanger.Yeah, thatโs kind of how I see things going although Iโd introduce Chen a lot sooner and scrap the sailors altogether.
1. Iwao dies. Ryo asks about Chinese people. The letter arrives.
2. Ryo gets the letter translated. Ryo meets Chen and learns about the mirrors. Ryo finds the mirror.
3. Ryo takes the mirror to the Chens. Chai tries to take the mirror but fails. Chen tells Ryo that Lan Di has already left for HK and Ryo is determined to get a ticket.
4. Ryo goes to travel agents and buys a ticket. On collecting the ticket heโs ambushed by Chai and Chai eats the ticket but mentions that Lan Di is still in Yokosuka.
5. Ryo gets a job at the harbor to learn more about the CYM. Shenanigans with the CYM. Ryo gets home to learn that Nozomi is missing.
6. Straight into the 70 man battle. Ryo finds out that Lan Di has left and Chen buys him a ticket. Chai ambushes them and Guizang gets injured. Ryo leaves.

Iโd beg to differ, as apparently would Yu and the team developing the anime.It's reading things like this that make me seriously worried about the series. All of this condenced into 6 episodes would feel incredibly rushed.
