Premiering February 5th 2022 + New Trailer

Holy balls Shenmue with GOOD English voice acting!

It looks fantastic. Might need to get myself a Crunchyroll account
 
Different trailer with music!

Wow! This trailer is awesome! lol shows a lot of different stuff too! The Japanese VO sounds incredible, really can't wait to see a list of the ENG VO too, as I recognise a lot of the voices! Going to watch it multiple times of course, and will try them both out, but first time will be the Japanese VO for sure!

Soo much to unpack across these two trailers, but overall, it just looks and sounds fantastic! Sounds like new music at the start of the Japanese Trailer? With the Shenmue Theme? Awesome stuff! Could spend hours just going frame by frame and looking at all the small details lol. Say that, do we have an official youtube link of the Japanese trailer anywhere? :p
Edit found it linked in Nathan's Tweet:

The official Website has been updated too! With a list of Cast etc, even has a link to buy the games :D!

The makers of this anime seem to actually understand the source material. I'm hyped

Is there anyway for us to tell if the anime is performing well in views or do we have to wait till the season is complete?
 
Wow. Amazing. Especially the Japanese trailer.

Not gonna lie, I kinda expected this in like... September. I'm amazed and pleased it's so soon.

Suuuuuuper high res key art off the Japanese website.
 
As mentioned above, they've updated the Japanese site for the Anime today. Here's a few background images pulled from the site. Insane details :D

Seems that the opening theme is "Undead-No ID" by Kashitaro Ito:

Also pretty interesting that the sites main navigation has a "Special" section?
