Shenmue the Animation Trailer Reveals Premiere Date
The first-ever anime adaptation of a cult video game series is coming soon with the premiere of Shenmue the Animation. The virtual Crunchyroll Expo on September 4, 2020, announced the development of the animated series. Sega published the original game for the Dreamcast in 1999, followed by Shenmue II in 2001 and Shenmue III in 2019 after a successful crowdfunding campaign. When Shenmue was released, it was the most expensive video game ever developed and turned into a commercial failure. Despite its financial drawbacks, the franchise has developed a cult following.
