[@Ocean5ix]

Yakuza and Metal Gear Solid IMO are two of the hardest franchises to be adapted to live action because of the tone shift. I hope they pull this off but I fear they might sacrifice too much of the quirkyness and it ends up being too "dark" and serious without the comedy and melodrama.

[@opvcky]

Without Kojima I don’t trust the concept of making MGS adaptation

[@Ocean5ix]

@@opvcky I honestly don't even think Metal Gear works as an adaptation with Kojima at the helm. Unless they make it 100% serious and gritty. The mainstream audience would never be able to enjoy a movie that starts as a serious cold war spy plot that all of a sudden has a Russian gunslinger that meows, a weirdo that can control bees and a buff guy that can generate 10 million volts of energy. Kojima's work (just as Yakuza) is as Japanese as it gets. The problem when you reach a worldwide audience is that they will find it weird and disjointed as hell.

Looks good. If I wanted a 1:1 remake of Yakuza I'd play the games since they're already pretty cinematic. I only want them to keep the found family aspects of the story, specially with Haruka, since it's the core of everything Kiryu related.

[@thelostzelda]

For the record, the 2007 Like a Dragon movie is 100% accurate to the first game and still has dumb stuff too that doesn't take away from the plot.

[@ItsOctoberr]

Haruka isn't in it...

[@etherealenchantment5742]

I watched the first episode, and I'll say to lower your expectations because many parts of the story and characters have been changed in a way fans of the series may not like.

[@badlotusxo]

It's seems serious unlike the game i judge from the trailer.

[@H47PY]

I just finished episode 6, its honestly not a bad reimagination, good story. They already stated that it will be different from the games.

[@cheese5911]

​​​​​​​@@H47PY But one thing they messed up is the influence of the characters here, Kazama is supposed to be a Legendary Yakuza, yet they treated him like he's a nobody (even though he's revealed to be the Dragon of Dojima in the show). There's nobody that's even remotely intimidating here, in the series you can figure out their power and influence just by a single glance, yet it's completely absent in the show. The only character i like is Majima, which is sad because he barely had any screen time.

[@Checkmate9moves]

Hearing Majima scream out "Kiryu-chan" made this entire trailer!!!

[@noyce.]

While I always yap about Yakuza needing a series/Netflix adaptation, this quickly made me take back my words. I couldn't recognize any of the characters at all, only Maijima because of the "Kiryu-chan!" and eyepatch/outfit/tats, Kiryu because of his sideburns and outfit. 0:44 I thought this is Majima until 1:06 Wish they start with 0 -> 1 -> 2 etc

[@kujiranohige]

Fans who want to meet the game version of Kiryu - chan will be shocked. And viewers who are expecting a "Japanese Yakuza" will definitely be disappointed. That there is no "Jingi" (仁義) or "Ninkyou" (任侠) in this drama. Many Japanese game fans have already seen the trailer and are disappointed. The only people who are enthusiastic about this drama are the actors' fans and RGG (Ryu ga Gotoku) Studio's president, Yokoyama.

Found out that show was out, decided to watch the trailer. Kiryu is supposed to be stoic. He doesn't care about titles or being flashy. Its the whole charm behind the persona. In this trailer Kiryu shows more emotion than he's done the last 2 decades of games. And if they missed the mark on the literal main character then its obvious they are doing the "we writers know better" thing. Which means im gonna avoid it like the plague.

If an episode is 1 hour long and there is no filler in it, i think it is on point. Many series waste time for exposition because they think every viewer has an extra chromosome. If is follows the "Show, don't tell" idea, then i think 6 episodes are fine. It also means the plot will move forward constantly, so don't expect downtime.

[@scarymeunster9095]

@@konstantine4817The problem with that is that Yakuza is a series that thrives in its downtime just as much as it does in the heat of the story - it’s what makes the series’ storytelling so natural and compelling. Making it into a basic crime drama with no humanity ruins the entirety of its appeal.

[@CamelofDestiny]

@scarymeunster9095 I'd say give it a Majima spin off that embraces the silliness if it's so determined to be serious now. I mean, I've got Tokyo Vice if I want to watch yakuza out of Japan, so maybe make it a little different1.
