when are these NFTs getting integrated into the forum? i want an afterburner themed monkey pfp.

That's probably for the best unless they take a Final Fantasy like approach and each entry in the series is a self contained story, setting, etc going forward. As much as I love the characters and stories of the first 3 games, each sequel having to further examine the same timeline of events...

You think if season 2 of the anime didn't get cancelled and started covering new story material not yet introduced in the games it would take the wind out of Yu Suzuki's sails and make him less motivated to push hard for more Shenmue games?

someone should just start writing a novelization of the first game and publish it online maybe via patreon or something. if they can actually write well and are able to generate buzz they might force sega to do something officially to cash in on any potential hype.

That's a really cool find.

Point and click. Shenmue is basically a fancy point and click game anyway so this would be the best fit. Of the genres listed it's the only one that I think could be done in a way that wouldn't feel different or out of place for the franchise. I liked the mystery solving aspects of the gameplay...

Is there an event or something soon that this teasing could be leading up to or what?

Just watched this weeks episode and I'm so glad the show is finally leaving Japan for Hong Kong. It's was weird as hell when Ryo randomly busted out his Chinese on Master Chen, though.

If the manga is anything to go by I hope the boat chapter continues its tradition of being cut from the Shenmue canon. You guys are tripping if you think they’re going to include that segment. Unless they completely rewrote it to be more consequential to the story I’d be shocked to see anything...

Does this show not have a Japanese release date yet? The On Air section of the official site is still blacked out and none of the news updates mention a release date or even what channel it'll air on. Is it normal for the Adult Swim funded anime to get a western release before Japan? I'm a...

I'm glad they're releasing it in the standard TV schedule of one a week. Binge watching a good show is fun, but releasing every episode of a show on day 1 to cater to binge watchers has proven to kill hype and make shows more easily forgettable. This way there will be a Shenmue related event for...

This anime looks like it would make for a cool video game. They should do a tie-in or something. :LOL:

That's a good question. I don't have cable so honestly I was planning on pirating it, but if there's a legit way to stream it free with ads I'll do it to support the show.

If, content wise, it was exactly the same game we got in 2019 I honestly think it would have been panned even harder.

I'd recommend you try out an app like HelloTalk or Tandem to make some friends who are native canto speakers. I used to be on HelloTalk all the time and it's really easy to find people to have a quick chat or whatever you're looking for.
