Shenmue the Animation OPENING THEME UNDEAD NOID

The opening theme from Shenmue the Animation. "UNDEAD-NOID" by Kashitaro Ito.

[@zerolzeeq]

The opening really felt like it would fit early 2000s anime. Perfect.

[@axionlightedge6108]

I dont really think shounen anime has changed from the 2000s

[@civilwarfare101]

@@axionlightedge6108 It hasn't changed since Dragon Ball turned into a martial arts story heavily based around fighting.

[@rafsolo]

​@@axionlightedge6108maybe not from a basic story telling stand point. But the whole feeling of shonen anime has changed

[@UNSTABLE111]

the anime adaptation is soooo good..I honestly like the angle they are going for this..rather than ryo just seeking revenge..he is seeking the truth about his father and clear his name..To me, Shenmue wasn't just about revenge, lan Di wasn't the ultimate end game for the whole saga..i have so many questions, but I truly want Yu Suzuki to take the time he needs..

[@dinglebingus2625]

it's honestly a much easier way to digest the series. like, most people probably don't have the patience for 20 year old jank

[@SoyAntonioGaming]

Ryo should just call the cops and let them sort it out while he goes back to bed (without taking the jeans off)

[@bobmorane1111]

You don't really think you are writing the manga, I'm an author and I don't care abt your opinion, if you want to change sth, start by yourself then write your own stories, pff!

[@Earthgrand234]

I do like the angle of Ryo trying to find the truth of his father's death, however I think I might still like the idea of revenge a bit more. It makes Ryo seem more his age. Something that I always kept forgetting when watching the anime was that Ryo is only 17, with how he was acting. It's very nice, him acting very mature for his age, however the revenge play still makes him seem more believable and brings into fact he's only 17 again to me personally.

[@cesarcampos8746]

[@sprnightfire]

Saw all 13 episodes and this is one of the best animes based on a video game. I really hope it gets a season 2.

[@RappingNinja]

I don’t think they have enough material to adapt yet, sadly. Shenmue III alone is left, and that won’t even be enough for 12 more eps. Any second season will probably have to wait until Suzuki can put together a Shenmue IV. But if they could talk him into sharing his plans so they could give us the next chapter in anime form? Damn, I’d be all for it.

[@SpaceScreaminJohn]

Well, it looks like season two isn’t happening. It’s like Shenmue is cursed to never be finished.

[@c.a.whodat]

Andddd it got cancelled.

[@popobaba3687]

Poor Nozomi. I felt bad for her when I played the game, but the anime adds another level of depth and painfulness to her relationship with Ryo. Very well done adaption. Shenmue deserves as much after all these years.

[@notkmr]

i don't know why but this song really such a banger to me

[@kidz4p509]

I wish they would make a Season 2. I really want to see the third game get an adaptation.

[@Dynastone]

Do you think there would be enough content to adapt in season 2, seeing as 1&2 got 13 episodes. Maybe it'll wait until a 4th game comes out for a season 2.

[@c.a.whodat]

@@Dynastoneunfortunately it’s never gonna happen. Crunchyroll and Adult Swim needed to agree to a season renewal for it to happen per the production's contractual language and Crunchy ditched it.

[@MK-ox6xv]

Voice actor for the lead is INCREDIBLE. INCREDIBLE. Best part of this show by far.

[@adamryamizard5560]

What's even more incredible is the Japanese voice actor for ryo is the one that voiced him in the game the same as lan di.

[@donamek]

[@civilwarfare101]

Edgerunners barely has much to do with the actual Cyberpunk game. It's basically a filler arc.

[@sebastianlyon6432]

I started watching the anime because of the opening credits.

[@trcsonic]

I'm very pleased with what they did to Chai and Nozomi in this animation. I think Chai is going to be some kind of ally in the future because he got a lot of Gollum vibes. He is even in Shenmue 3 and survive that attack on the boat before Shenmue 2. I mean, this character is more deep than we think.

[@High5Authentic]

I doubt that. He did intentially try to kill ryo before leaving Hong Kong. He tried so hard even by getting onto the same boat but got knocked out again by ryo. He is a dirty sneaky fighter. Even Lan Di don't know of him. What I really think happens to him later is that he will get his limbs or limb broken so bad (bruce lee and Chuck Norris style) by ryo that he will stop creeping about. Perhaps I could see Ren trapping him or luring him to his doom.

[@aresef]

I love the use of the Chinese fiddle. It makes the opening feel more congruous with the sound of Shenmue. And is that a shamisen or some kind of Japanese guitar I hear? The animation in the opening embraces all the excitement and weirdness of Shenmue. The fights, the characters, the forklift and Goro.

[@trcsonic]

Very good. I love Shenmue and this animation.

[@tonibazza3052]

they must bring in a second season of this awesome anime because today is the final episode and i hope they bring second season of shenmue to continue ryo's quest

[@lorenzotrinidad384]

What the hell this anime existed??!!! OMG i’ll do admit that I did some previews of it today and I’m very shock that it looks great!!! I love anime that’s based on Japanese video games and I will look at this anime soon!!! Adult swim should also air the 2014 Bayonetta anime movie, the game is also made by Sega!!! Imagine if a anime company made a full fledge anime episode on Bayonetta!!! That will be sick!!!

[@assaultwolfex7700]

Since Shenmue got an anime adaptation I am hoping Yakuza franchise gets an anime that would be awesome

[@matthewwright9143]

People who are not familiar with the games must be scratching their heads watching those random forklifts appear in the opening.

[@arschkinnjunge]

I was like why are the forklifts dancing lol but it was his parttime job as we see later

[@prairiete]

I didn't play, but when I saw them I thought, it's a part of the game right ? Mini game maybe ? I'm watching ep4 and there they are !

@@Red-zl1ov "Part of his charm". That is usually never a good argument. The only reason why he never showed up all that much in the games because they were games. Here you could have him do SOMETHING. Yeah like him beating Ryo in a squash match like in 3 and barely shows up in that

[@Red-zl1ov]

@@civilwarfare101 idk what to tell you, Lan Di has always been portrayed as this unreachable person that Ryo has no business trying to confront as he is leaps and leaps ahead of him in martial arts, having him around on Ryo’s playground and level field would defeat that whole idea. Like no, Ryo has to fuck around with the little leagues first. Besides, they did give him more to do, he had a fight with Ryo in the rooftops that never happened, what more do you want?

The animation studio did a perfect job, this opening is slightly weaker, but the actual anime is animated beautifully, Dunno what in the world you’re basing your standards off of, but it’s dramatically too high for things that have to be animated within a week every week until the season/show is over.
