This is so exciting. It’s humbling. I’m so happy. Here in the US Adult Swim is HUGE for nerds like us. And if SEGA is involved the future is bright. This is so wonderful.
I was down on the idea of Shenmue IV + being an anime or manga and I also thought it was financially impossible given the precarious nature of Shenmue 3. When we discussed the anime/manga stuff, we were talking about it completely replacing the video game series. I'm glad I'm wrong, and I think it's a good thing they might reach a wider audience with a rebooted Shenmue series. I STAND CORRECTED.Positivity is what got us Shenmue 3 and the uncertain future of the game series.
I for one hope that Shenmue fans are as critical as possible moving forward.
I was just talking about the character design and the overhaul artstyle.I hope not from a personal perspective. I much preferred the grounded direction in terms of cutscenes and camera movement than sometimes the overtly stylized nature of some scenes in Shenmue 3.
I hope in some ways they can be different by still compliment one another in terms of the anime adaptation.
I can agree that I'd like a game.. this anime will hopefully make the future of the game series look a lot brighter by bringing in more fans.Oh well, I said something different a few months ago. I still would rather see the series resolve itself as a game, but why would I have an issue with new fans getting into the story with an anime?
Oh I forgot about that chapter. I think they have to re-write that chapter if it's gonna fit into the story.. Because I think Ryo originally was supposed to meet Shenhua for the first time on a train. I think Yu said that. (Maybe someone can confirm that).I would be much more excited for the train chapter than the boat chapter. It had a card in the VF RPG concepts, and it featured on the Project Berkeley video.

I love it as well.Two minor but positive details: it uses the original cursive logo!! And Shenhua's original outfit!
