The original voice actors are 75 and 66 respectively, I think it's understandable.

animes that skip the OP in their first episode to run credits over actual story, are cowards

Not anime, but there was like a straight up a like 10 episode stretch of Kamen Rider Ex-Aid where they did not run the OP.

And Kamen Rider Ex-Aid has one of the better Rider OPs!

fwiw the Squid Game subs were also bad from what i've heard from folks I know who speak and read Korean, a lot of lost nuance

That's because people were using the closed captions based on the dub rather than the actual subtitles.

I think it's very likely that it's not UC, at least. UC doesn't really make much todo about other planets, so a reference to Mercury would be weird.

Snowglobe of Doom posted:

Once a genre has been established for long enough the audience will be so familiar with the associated tropes that a lovely half-assed entry into the genre doesn't need to flesh out the characters or the setting if they're too lazy to go to that much effort. If you're watching a crappy cliched Western and there's a clean shaven guy wearing a white hat and an unshaven guy wearing a black hat your expectations about their characters and how they're going to interact are already baked in.

To the point where something like Goblin Slayer doesn't even bother giving its characters names.

First episode of the Shenmue anime is surprisingly promising! I think divorcing the story from the awkward gameplay and glacial pacing of the actual games is only going to do it a favor.

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.

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

Captain Baal posted:

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.

Also, the wooden, awkward Ryo we know in the west is really a product of the game's subpar localization and voice acting, so the anime's dub could be argued as getting the creator's intent for the character across better than the actual game.

Also if you're looking for modern successors to Shenmue, it's less Yakuza and more Deadly Premonition

They are very specifically only doing the first two games this season, since there are no characters from 3 in the promo art, OP, or cast list, and the cold open of episode 1 is a flash forward to the end of 2.

I feel like a straight adaptation of the game is entirely possible, but also there's been so many prequel and side stories stuffed into plays and books and even orchestral concerts that why wouldn't they do something different here
