I sincerely hope they remain mad and salty over a niche video game series.

I can't tell you how furious I am over Drakengard.

Good opportunity to try and get some questions in if you have them


Update: Shenmue Anime will have an all new score. Yu Suzuki has been "very involved all the way"!

 

[bcdcdude]

It would be an open goal miss if a CD isn't made available! Still, it's great to hear about the level of Suzuki-san's involvement.

 

[ShenSun]

Thats awesome news. Anime has got some of the greatest soundtracks ever created. Combine that with shenmue which has one of the greatest soundtracks in videogames and you're on to a big winner

 

[高野和泉]

oh dayum, those 800 something tracks already created prolly gonna help.

 

[ShenSun]

We'll probably get some beautiful vocal soundtracks aswell

Its going to be 13 weeks of mayhem

Cant wait

 

[RetroLord120]

As expected I guess lol, guess this means no entire episode dedicated to capsule toys. NOOOOOOO!!!!

 

[sayuhhm]

Bit of interesting context for the Shenmue anime delay and honestly, I'm glad to hear it. Covid delays were obvious and inevitable, but the commitment to fair wages and conditions for the workers in an industry that often looks the other way, even if it means pushing back anticipated releases - Jason/Toonami have my respect. The wait is agonizing, but when we do eventually sit down to watch Shenmue the Animation, we can do so knowing it was made with love for the story and respect for the animators.

Love to see it!

If not a trailer shown then at least some early footage I would hope...like storyboarded footage or something. Something to whet our appetites :)

Maybe even an announcement of English voice dub cast?

My guess is they will show a tease of something though...be it a trailer or footage or whatnot. Or maybe it's just another talking heads session with nothing to show? Will find out soon enough.
