    110 Industries have been teasing Shenmue IV a lot lately

    Anyhow, 110 Industries...a step down from Deep Silver or up???

    Why do I feel like they're a bunch of quacks?

    Actually, I'd love me a S3: Director's Cut.

    SPOILERS SHENMUE THE ANIMATION EPISODE 10 "Comeback" THREAD

    My only real "I don't like it" moment in this anime was the forklift rescue with Mark. As for the pacing of S2, it's not very jarring for my taste because S2 was quite fast-paced if you take out the mundane, for lack of a better word, RPG tasks.

    SPOILERS Shenmue The Animation Episode 9 "Distinct" Thread

    Actually, when digesting these two replies, yes, I'd agree. I didn't like the location switch either when first confronting Ren. The warehouse scene with the blinding headlights to Ryo's face was quite a cinematic moment. But, I just thought the episode fit in so much with decent pacing the...

    SPOILERS Shenmue The Animation Episode 9 "Distinct" Thread

    I'm a little in awe with how close this sticks to the game. You can feel it, except the Nozomi kidnapping (which I wasn't big on...seemed out of character). We could've gotten something like HALO, though (i.e., we ignored the game in the making of...). Initially, too, I wasn't too excited about...

    SPOILERS Shenmue The Animation Episode 9 "Distinct" Thread

    I didn't think it was fast-paced at all. Most episodes from the S1 seemed to go at lightening speed...with the exception of maybe one. This episode killed it. It had the best pacing, and balance between story and action, yet. This was also the moment where S2 took off and became the best game of...

    Is Shenmue 2 as good or better than 1?

    I shared a similar sentiment as the OP did in that I wasn't particularly engaged, so to speak, with the beginning moments of S2, but I'm telling you, once you meet up with Ren, things take off like a wildfire. It's becomes an adventure in which you let home for (S1). And I agree with Yada San's...

    Shenmue : the animation merchandise

    My question is.....will InsertCoin bring back the bomber jacket version of Ryo's leather one?

    Shenmue Fan Art

    Damn, dude, fabulous! I'm taken back by it. I'd ask for an opinion on my art, be it non-Shenmue related.

    SPOILERS Shenmue The Animation: Episode 2 - Daybreak - Thread

    This my early Sunday morning coffee show. Can't ask for anything better, honestly. Hope it continues beyond this season (and gets us a Shenmue IV...without a global crisis following suit).

    Well, I wouldn't let postings kill your joy. Remember, much of commenting can easily be taken out of context. It doesn't always have to be dread, and it's not, it's just repeatedly seems so, because of the subject matter (i.e., a mental health sector of the forum). Wouldn't you agree that when...

    Added Edit: I probably should've provided some context here. This drawing represents my underlying fears (largely within a religious context if you look close) and lingering thoughts that were heightened during the dark winter months of 2020. You'll see left to right Pittsburgh to Philadelphia...
