Shenmue the Animation gets new trailer + premiere date
- Thread starter Jibby
- Start date
I will miss the original voice cast, but this looks better than could've ever been expected after Shenmue 3.
This looks pretty damn decent. Art style is kinda similar to Parasyte: The Maxim.
He came back for Shenmue 3 at the very least.

I believe the Japanese VA for Ryo is returning but I'm not sure about the other characters.
Huh, that's so weird. Were the English people amateurs or something? You'd think they would keep them on
Yeah, like the new voice isnt bad but I really expected at least cory to voice him in this considering he did shenmue 3

There's also the Japanese version which seems to be an entirely different trailer!
Wow, the editing here is significantly better than the English one lol.
Interesting, it's a creditless version of the trailer TMS just put up. Features cast, staff and OP credits, among other flavour text.
Animation studio is Telecom Animation Film under TMS
I imagine even outside of any perceived quality, the logistics of American anime dubbing are just weird. Like how the new TWEWY game had returning actors, but not the dub of the anime.

Telecom Animation. They were behind Lupin III Parts 4 & 5, Tower of God, that Little Nemo movie, & Don't Toy with Me, Miss Nagatoro.
Wow, an English voiced Ryo that's not a robot, +10 points. Still not a fan of the English dub, will watch it in Japanese instead. But hey, looking good... I see a number of cool parts of the original game (namely the main confrontations) are present and correct, though Charlie showing at at Hazuki's house is new... seems like that meeting is the first time they met going by the dialogue, which suggests they've rejigged part of story seeing as originally you track him down, not the other way round. Though I guess they'll trim to make the story flow better for the anime (less waiting around).
Still curious to see just how much of the slower slice of life moments they keep... everything they've shown so far is basically fights.
Also, really surprised at how darn quick its coming out, as someone else said, I expected this way later in the year.

Wow, Japanese trailer is like, 10 times better. Nicer mix of scenes, waaaaaay better voice acting, and aside that awful song slapped in the trailer, it feels like Shenmue. Definitely excited.
Here is the official website. Text is both Japanese and English.
Masaya Matsukaze and Takahiro Sakurai reprise their roles as Ryo Hazuki and Lan Di respectively from the JP game cast. OP is "UNDEAD-NOID" by Kashitaro Ito. Other credits within.

The key art is pretty nice. Is the first season just game 1 though? The key art suggests either season 2 is a go or they are trying to cram at least part of 2 in as well.
Hey i am actually pretty hyped by this, i'd rather have an anime finish the story than play another shenmue game.
Trailer already shows the arcade (and apparently, time travelling Virtua Fighter cabs... must have purchased the cabs from the same place Yakuza 7's Club Sega operators ordered VF5 from)
I imagine that's also where Ryo got his Sega Saturn in the game from as well...
this season will cover the events up to the end of Kowloon Chapter. (confirmed)
Wow looks a lot better than i was expecting, i can't wait! Will definitely be watching subbed though, since the English VA isn't Cory and the others. Gave me goosebumps hearing the theme and seeing all the familiar characters/scenes like Ryo and Nozomi on the motorcycle
