Shenmue: The Animation Season 1 is a Crunchyroll/Adult Swim exclusive action anime based on the video game Shenmue. It was developed by Telecom Animation Film. The story follows the plot of the first 2 games and somehow manages to squeeze them into just 13, 20 min episodes. From the moment Ryo’s father was killed all the way to Guilin. And they definitely do skip over alot and it never takes a moment to just relax and breath. And because of that we lose out on the emotion that the game had. For example in the game Right after Ryo’s father dies the game is bleak and you really do feel for his grief. Where in the anime there’s no real time for grieving it’s just on to revenge.
