Bubbleblabber’s Best Adult Animated Series For 2022 (Drama)
9) Shenmue the Animation
Never have I imagined for years that they’d make a Shenmue adaptation that manages to capture the key moments of the games in the series, both big and small while carefully taking out the negative and boring aspects of the game and streamlining the storylines of the first two games in such a way that everyone can understand. I’m sure it also feels very cathartic for long-time fans to have waited 20-plus years for the story of Shenmue to finally receive the care and attention it deserves.
There's got to be some kind of twist that's going to happen with this. I don't know if they're setting up an April Fool's joke now or what's going on, but it seems too strange that they'd suddenly reverse on doing a fourth and fifth season after the show was already renewed and they were even just talking about working on those seasons like a couple months ago or something. Or maybe the two episodes yet to release will secretly somehow each be like a "season" in themselves?
