[renthusiast]

so if they made season 2 of the anime, they would make it about yokosuka? or?

Maybe they could do an OVA release expanding on the Yokosuka storyline before season 2 is released.

Thanks for sharing the interview switch.

I also would think that an OVA that expands the storyline of Yokosuka would be a nice idea A potential second season should cover and enhance the S3 plot only.

 

[Catchanysailorshere?]

The OVA should be disc 4 of Shenmue 2. That is the greatest moment in the series so far and I was dissapointed they cut that part for time. It's still one of the best adaptations I've seen though and that's saying a lot.

 

[RyoHazuki84]

I would like to see an OVA where one episode focuses on Goro and Mai, one episode focused on Nozomi, one on Mark and the crew, and maybe an episode that could focus on Ren, Wong, and Joy. Maybe an episode about Xiuying and her brother during her childhood?

OVA of the boat. Or any of the comic side stories. The possibilities are endless with what they could do.

 

[hmjohnny]

I'm late to see this interview but it's disheartening to read that they are more interested in making a season that fleshes out Yokosuka than continue the anime.

I was really hoping for a season 2 which goes into S3 and beyond but it sounds like not only do they have no plans to do that, they have no interest as well.

 

[Eishen]

I think that if a season 2 appears will be about S3 and S4. The thing that they say of do more of Yokosuka I think that is about their desire to have more number of episodes in Season 1.

Anyway, I'm rewatching the anime and they did a great job with that number of episodes.

A OVA is still possible, perhaps about the kitty and other characters, or the boat.
