Maybe this will end up being a better way to get the full story told in a timely manner.
I was just thinking the same thing.
Lol, nicely said
Looks like the Studio has made some Lupin the Third and Tower of God in the past, while the Director is best known for directing One Punch Man Season 2. I don't really like that art, but it seems to be in capable hands.

If it's better than Shenmue 3 and/or a competently told story then I'd declare that a success.
