Like A Dragon: Yakuza is 2nd Most Watched TV Series on TOP 10 on Amazon Prime in the World on November 01-05, 2024

Set in the fictional town of Kamurocho, the story unfolds across two intersecting timelines—1995 and 2005.
In 1995, four friends eager to escape their restrictive lives in an orphanage dive into the yakuza-controlled underworld of 1995 Kamurocho.
Meanwhile, in 2005, their friendship is deteriorated, as tensions between the Tojo Clan and the Omi Alliance are at a boiling point.

An associate said that the show isn't doing well in general with it's audience. That they're upset they didn't do research or played the games much before making it.

By then I'm pretty sure the office wouldn't look like this ...

It's still doing well on view numbers but probably not from the LAD fans.

It be close to Sonic i can get though without leaving the country.

LAD?

[Berto]

LAD?

LAD = Like a Dragon = Ryu Ga Gotoku = Yakuza

That's how SEGA wants the Yakuza franchise called now, "Like a Dragon"/ LAD.

Why the name change? It is the Yakuza after all.

Why the name change? It is the Yakuza after all.

No official statement ever made, but I believe it's for consistency's sake.
In Japan, the series is known as Ryū ga Gotoku, which means "Like a Dragon" in english.
Just like when they changed back Dr. Robotnik to his Japanese name again, Dr. Eggman.
For me "Yakuza" still sounds much cooler name than "Like a Dragon" but of course it wouldn't suit for Ishin title since Yakuza wasn't exist at that time.

Maybe to also avoid legal-ties with the actual yakuza? I mean, I know of Sega's "sordid history[/irl]" with the Japanese mafia... and Toshihiro Nagoshi looks like he belongs in a Japanese gang.

Not Familiar with Red One.
Didn't know we had a new Nosferatu movie.
A sequel to Moana is something both expected of Disney yet unpredicted at the same time. (Also, is it me or does Moana's face starting to look a bit like Maui?)
And cool! A LotR movie that doesn't liik like Prime-crap!

May be but right now Yakuza aren't as active as before in Japan, many companies now's more using them to guard properties, buildings, and HQs. They're not viewed as negative as before.
Yakuza gang wars like in those movies rarely happened (in LAD:Yakuza Prime series even Majima got punished by the boss for using gun in public). Japan is still one of the safest countries in the world afterall.

That Prime-crap topped the chart though.

I remember watching a video ages back of a genuine Yakuza member watching gameplay footage and commenting how they would never do this and that.

Whose ratings was that, though?

That's why the movie was different, it uses serious approach so most of the silliness and charms from the games were gone..
The series its self is not bad, it's just too different compared to the game.
Kiryu is okay (he's still the cool calm confident guy and could easily beat a lot of people like in the game).
Majima is good (he's as crazy as in the game).
Nishiki on the other hand is too different.

Whose ratings was that, though?

FlixPatrol. It's daily updated.
