The Shenmue anime is cutting down several hours of the actual game, but since it's not cutting any of the actual plot, it doesn't feel rushed.

I feel like the real Shenmue experience would be something like "here's your third episode, in which the protagonist just walks for 20 minutes, because that's how long it would take him to walk to the convenience store. we've sadly been forced to abridge some of the walking for the next eps, but you can find it all in the OVAs, along with all the door-opening, bed-making and shoe-removing animations our editor forced us to remove from the original 1,472 hour long cut of the anime" e: also yeah Sono Bisque does kinda have a problem with its secondary cast, in that nobody really sticks around beyond their own little arcs. The manga has about 3 seasons worth of chapters at this point, and only *now* are we seeing other characters show up regularly. It's mostly just the main couple, Gojo's gramps, and whoever's around for the current outfit arc. This leaves the heavy pulling to Gojo and Marin, who generally have good chemistry but it might not be enough to keep some viewers interested.

As much as I don't care about Shenmue I'm gonna have to ask people temper themselves on posting spoilers for this 20+ year old game series. Not that anyone's done it as far as I have seen, but be mindful.

I don't personally care about it, but someone reported one of the Shenmue posts for it and I thought I'd just mention it.

well when it's limping along as an anime because of this:Endorph posted:because its a marketing exercise, not an attempt to tell a compelling story. it's only natural there's some hostility. as something pushed by CR/AS it also gets to sit in that nicely developing niche of western commercialization pushes in anime.

I don't really understand the claim that it's "limping along," it's aired two episodes and both of them were decent. I really don't care about Shenmue as a property outside of weird memes and the show is fine so far. Also the medium of Japanimation is full of marketing exercises, this isn't a particularly egregious example. It's not even promoting anything relevant.

Yeah, I don't really like the games at all but I've been having a good time with the anime. Ryo actually has a personality and is a character, who would have thought? E: Also yeah, Shenmue 3 came out like two years ago and there's no sign of a Shenmue 4, so this is really less of an active marketing ploy than almost any manga or light novel adaptation

I really don't care about Shenmue as a property outside of weird memes and the show is fine so far. i'm not married to the word choice, but it's a franchise where the long-awaited sequel landed weakly and they didn't confirm a follow up. like it took a beating there and the anime is just kind of a weird thing to have crop up. it feels like the growing thing of Western companies taking some IP they believe can be pumped and spinning it into anime for that growing market. CR/AS have previously done this with Blade Runner, Netflix did Altered Carbon and Bright while inflating Super Crooks' episode count, and Amazon is doing the same with their LotR push. not having an accompanying product to push isn't really the point, the brand is the brand and the content boosts the platform(s) commissioning it. idk how weird of a pull Shenmue is from that angle, but i won't pretend CR is smart in their selections (see their past originals lineup). don't really care about the Japanese examples, obviously i dislike the Kadokawa 40 or ongoing isekai boom in the same vein. this is just part of a slightly more recent and annoying trend.

It's not really Ryo then, right? If you do the opposite of the source material, I don't know why you'd call it the same. Other than as a cash grab, of course.

I would argue if an adaptation builds upon a character and makes them more likeable than their original counterpart that's an example of really good adaptation. Not that I'm saying shenmue is incredible, but saying "It's not really him then" when adaptation always puts its own spin on something is kind of the point of adaptation. You are supposed to suit the character for what you're doing with said work and putting them to different mediums.

The character is talking to someone in a different, smaller, evil org that lets gives people a half day on the last friday every month and is ethically run (for a Japanese company) as opposed to one that has people doing overtime punch out at their normal hours so as not to actually have it on the books and require people to leave through a hidden exit so as not to embarrass the company

i feel like it is a bit goofy to argue the shenmue anime is fixing the problem of the game by not focusing on all the wandering around cause like. shenmue's not an amazing game but the wandering around is like, the gameplay. half of shenmue's gameplay is wandery like that by design, which i can get not really being huge on cause the games are pretty subjective in how you'll enjoy them in a lot of ways just. doing a more focused animated version is just kinda doing it different, it's not something like tales of zestiria where the anime literally is a rewrite of the game from the ground up just because the game didn't make sense

You saw this with Persona 4 the animation, where the anime adaptation decided to make the player character really snarky and goofy, and everyone loved the anime version of him more than the boring stoic character you often see them depicted as.
