    I like the games but hate Amazon so I’ll skip it.

    But hopefully the show itself is good.

      As a wheel of time, invincible, the boys, and fallout fan I feel extremely targeted. I’m a Yakuza superfan so I will have to watch this but I hope they don’t mess it up. I’m still playing infinite wealth but once I’m done I’ll have completed every rgg game except of the end and that PSP exclusive neither of which I’m going to go back to.

    They’ve already done a live action adaptation of the original game back in 2006. It was a bit… odd, and definitely not the way you’d wanna experience the yakuza 1 story for the first time, but it is an entertaining enough shitshow of a time for people that just want more yakuza.

    (Also the entire thing is on YouTube but don’t tell Sega that)

    I really hope this isn’t shit.

    By “original”, I assume they mean Yakuza [Kiwami] 1 not Yakuza 0?

    This has infinite potential. Let’s hope they let the director cook and he knows what he’s doing. I’m totally down for live-action Yakuza weirdness.

    On a side note: I hope it will feature a sad scene with the classical sob-story piano song.

    An even sidier note: If we don’t get Bakamitai then gtfo.
