5th February! Can't believe it's that soon!
Loved seeing
@James Brown and
@spud1897 's reactions also
Some stray thoughts from both trailers:
English:
-I like that we get to see what Ryo was doing immediately before returning home: provides some much needed context and its in character for him to turn down going out to celebrate
-So it sounds like they didn't get Corey to reprise the role - to be honest I'm not too disappointed by this, it will be interesting to hear a different take on Ryo
-'YOU BASTARD!' - gave me chills! Touches like this are appreciated as it would be a natural reaction in the situation, and improves the somewhat dry dialogue of the game.
-The fighting and hit impacts in general are BRUTAL, some terrific animation here.
-'What do you really know about your father's past?' - I think this works well as a general 'hook' for the series, and glad to see the photo of Iwao and Zhao
-Charlie with the soccer ball appears to have been moved to take place in the harbour...
-A biker confronting Ryo outside his house? Interesting...possibly how he's lured to the harbour to rescue Nozomi in this adaptation?
-The line about threatening Ryo that he'll meet the same fate as his father - who is speaking here?
-Tony and Smith are freaking huge!
-Chai fight in the Dojo, as we've already seen. Will be interesting to see what the circumstances of this happening are.
Japanese:
-Backgrounds and lighting are beautiful
-Terry saying 'You're trying to get mixed up in some dangerous stuff' - it really does seem like the anime is stressing the point of how reckless Ryo is acting...
-Where is Lan Di in the scene of him looking out the window? Chi You Men HQ?
-'One mirror remains' is an interesting line - perhaps confirmation that they are indeed only two?
-Can't wait to see the 70 man battle with Gui Zhang!!
-Clip of Mark is a bit random - but does confirm the forklift job will happen?
-We're getting young Ryo flashbacks
-Payphone!!
-Virtua Fighter in the arcade!! Great touch. Yes doesn't make sense in 1986, but then neither does capsule toys of the series existing...
-Very surprised to see Ryo practice the Double Blow with Yamagishi-san - how many of the optional scenes will we see in this I wonder?
All in all this looks bloody fantastic and I can't wait!!
