Fans of Yu Suzuki's "Shenmue" video game series are about to experience the epic action-adventure story in a new way, as Cruncyroll and Adult Swim have announced "Shenmue the Animation" - a 13 episode anime series that will be directed by Chikara Sakurai with animation production done by Telecom Animation Film.
Suzuki will serve as Executive Producer for the series -- which is the latest news for the much loved saga that began life in the Sega Dreamcast with the first game release in 1999 (2000 in the US). Shenmue would see a sequel in "Shenmue II" released in 2001, but would not get a new game until 2019 with the release of "Shenmue III" - which was announced as a Kickstarter project in 2015 and successfully crowdfunded by fans who wanted a continuation to Ryo Hazuki's story.
