It's finally out, I get to watch it.

I haven't had time, but kinda glad that some of friends on Facebook gave it a positive reviews.

Edit : finally watched it. It's passable, I guess. Better than I expected.
I like the Japanese VAs and the ending song.
Still hopefully there will be new things they'll add to the anime later,
things that are not from the game story (that we already knew).

The story is a bit compressed, which is understandable given how many hours to look for barbers and sailours. Still looking forward to see how it goes.

Forget to tell my favorite thing of the anime... Ryo's laughing face... How rare is that...

Not in Shenmue 1. The closest one is in Shenmue 3 :

Episode 3 and we're nearly at the end of the first game.

Now I wonder if first season will capture all three Shenmue games, so that season 2 could be a brand new story.
