I wish it was an anime adaptation so the voice actors could reprise their roles.

MODERATORS
I gave Amazon the benefit of the doubt with Wheel of Time. Never again.
I mean they also made Fallout…
Maybe it's because I'm not a Fallout fan, but I didn't like that one either. I didn't finish it, to be fair, but I watched the first 3-4 episodes and I found it nonsensical for the most part.
From people and animals healing within seconds of them injecting some sort of Jesus juice, to armor suits protecting against explosions and extreme fall damage but not angry bears, or people living for centuries in the surface but from the looks of it the apocalypse happened just two days earlier, with no one bothering to clean up their own house a bit. In one scene you see soldiers wearing thick metal armor flying around on helicopters, in the next scene there's people using bottle caps as a barter resource.
And that's just about the verisimilitude of the setting and the events. The writing felt very amateurish/childish for the most part. Again, I have no reference to the source material, but from an outside perspective, I wasn't impressed.
The visuals are very good (not ground-breaking by any means, but they do their job well), but that's the extent of the praise I'd give to that series.
Fallout's success is on Jonathan Nolan, not Amazon.
Well then wheel of times failure is based on whoever wrote it too. Either way OPs comment doesn’t really make sense.
As a wheel of time, invincible, the boys, and fallout fan I feel extremely targeted. I'm a Yakuza superfan so I will have to watch this but I hope they don't mess it up. I'm still playing infinite wealth but once I'm done I'll have completed every rgg game except of the end and that PSP exclusive neither of which I'm going to go back to.
I like the games but hate Amazon so I’ll skip it.
But hopefully the show itself is good.
They've already done a live action adaptation of the original game back in 2006. It was a bit.... odd, and definitely not the way you'd wanna experience the yakuza 1 story for the first time, but it is an entertaining enough shitshow of a time for people that just want more yakuza.
(Also the entire thing is on YouTube but don't tell Sega that)
I really hope this isn't shit.
By "original", I assume they mean Yakuza [Kiwami] 1 not Yakuza 0?
Yeah Y0 is too far back to go for a show I imagine
This has infinite potential. Let's hope they let the director cook and he knows what he's doing. I'm totally down for live-action Yakuza weirdness.
On a side note: I hope it will feature a sad scene with the classical sob-story piano song.
An even sidier note: If we don't get Bakamitai then gtfo.
