Well, that's a wrap!
Overall this was a really good show. It's not perfect by any means, and we all have our criticisms or desires for where it could have done more, but it really was so much better than my expectations for a budget anime. There were moments in the show that really impressed me and improved upon the games. In an ideal world things would be different (i..e Shenmue 4) but fans need to remember that with Shenmue there are no more ideals only compromises and I think all things considered this show hits the mark given its realistic constraints. For me personally, I really hope the show continues into a second season and we get the continuation of the story this way, hopefully with a slightly expanded budget. As much as I want Shenmue 4 I cant imagine realistically where it would actually be good and wouldn't mind if we get a beefed up season 2 to this show instead
