Yeah it sucks even more since the actors for the most part have proven to be extremely talented and could have easily portrayed the characters from the games.
I think there's a guy that looks EXACTLY like Shimano, he's bald and has similar-looking tattoos in the show. Giving Shimano hair makes him seems generic in my opinion.
The Yakuza fanatic in my gaming chat group was going on and on about the show, saying how excited she was and she’s gonna start the first ep tonight. A few days went by and she never talked about the show again. lol
gave up after watching the first 3 episodes on amazon but seeing the other characters now like nah no fucking way that suppose to be my boy saejima like this no fucking way man
Where could one have found such actors in Japan who look like they do in the games. In the games, almost everyone seems very tall and muscular with striking faces. Nothing comes close to the games anyway, but the reality can sometimes be different. but shimano could have done better.
I watched 2 episodes and haven't bothered to watch the rest. I hope filmmakers and producers who adopt a source material should try to make an effort to understand what made the source material great in the first place, instead of making their own spin on things which no one cares about.
I can‘t believe that the low budget movie from like 2006 is 100 times better than an Amazon production which cost millions. Just terrible, the whole show had nothing to do with the Yakuza franchise and even as a standalone story it was extremely weak.
If it gets a Season 2, and they get some of the Characters from Y2 or Y3, and do it wrong. I swear, they should've gotten better lessons from a Good Film Production, instead of Ben Ramsey, James Wong, and Stephen Chow (if you don’t know those guys, I recommend looking up the Film Production they've film, that I won't say).
@Pappalardium no it doesnt. lol people who have never heard of or played the game aren't going be drawn to it and then you just piss off the fans. honestly this is a stupid response.
Shimano entire character is big angry bald guy and they cast a small dude with hair and a beard
I wish Bolo was still young and in his prime. He would have been a better option
He's Sugiuchi now
yea this is trash I'm not going to lie hell no that's not them
Honestly, bro shoulda been sera lol..instead, we got some old man as sera lol
I’m mad they told the actors not to play the games
even when they really wanted to
Yeah it sucks even more since the actors for the most part have proven to be extremely talented and could have easily portrayed the characters from the games.
@@Motivatedragon how are they expected to get into character when they're being barred from getting into the character?
Man am playing Yakuza 0 and planning on playing the other games and damn I feel bad for the actors for not playing it
@@thedude3065 exactly
@@Motivatedragon The meddling and preventing the cast from actually learning about the characters they they were told to play is just backwards logic.
Man that was a huge disrespect with Saejima, he died in by a gunshot in the begining of the serie
This is the moment nishiki became kuroiwa
@@belowaverageobungaenjoyer1727 with a weird obsession with pentagrams for some reason
More like yuta
Nishikiyama is Kuroiwa.
Only small amount of actors looked like the game characters

@@faatihahnizam3582 yeah in the show, he's an omi officer
And Suga looks like Shibusawa.. At least comparing to what we got
Some of the characters were unrecognizable without subtitles...
The only character who's better than the game is Yumi
@@vinewood1554 there's nishikis sister if that counts

one of the worst game adaptations.
Dunno about that but definitely not good either
@@darkkekla but managed to get a nominee at TGA somehow
Not even close. At least the characters are still Japanese
I wouldnt say the worst, but definitely not the best adaptation
It's mid, not nearly the worst though
What happened to Sera💀
The tv show looks like it belongs on tubi.
I heard kiryu kazuma once henshin into a rider so there’s that
There is Awano too. He's the one who got thrown by Kazama in the first episode.
What happened to Shimano 😭😭😭😭😭
Gave him a hair transplant and forced him to be on a diet😅
He became Kazama
@@thebeastwithin6978 thought the same thing too
Had too much fugu, needed to replace but failed to notice the similar looking guy
SERA WHAT THE FYK 😭
gave up after watching the first 3 episodes on amazon but seeing the other characters now like nah no fucking way that suppose to be my boy saejima like this no fucking way man
Saejima become imp aint gonna lie
His cheap wig almost made me fall of my chair the first time I saw it 😂 Billion dollar company…
More like a reboot rather than an adaptation
Sohei Dojima became Awano

but shimano could have done better.
Crazy that even with actors in the game, they couldnt get them for the drama
No way they nerfed them this hard
I did like how Nishikiyama was more edgy but I did not like how Haruka was not Yumi's daughter. That was a weird change
Shimano is Sugiuchi now
I watched 2 episodes and haven't bothered to watch the rest. I hope filmmakers and producers who adopt a source material should try to make an effort to understand what made the source material great in the first place, instead of making their own spin on things which no one cares about.
Shimano if he was ugly

Sera NOOO
Nah, I prefer video game over tv series and I never stop playing games ever
kazama is perfect
Shimano?? More like Sagawa.
Look at this Japanese Yakuza Dragon kiryu PS games okay Oh my God it's Dragon Yakuza kiryu..

Only Yumi is cool
They did my boy Shibusawa dirty
What happened to shibusawa lol?🤦♂️
He almost made me thought it was Nagumo
I imagine Shibusawa would look like that after getting released from prison
Majima, Yumi, Reina and Florist did amazing
The Sunshine Orphanage was the better part of the story.
Plot was good enough and the acting but some of the cast is a huge minus. The action is meh. Not a lot of Kiryu fights. I could just watch Crows Zero.
Short saejima😭
he looks so stupid bro
Is this some kind of a joke??
This can't be real. Please tell me this is a joke.
my boy I know there is kashiwagi in the tv show coz he's in the end creds
@@katarns oh I don't remember seeing him at all
@@Motivatedragon kashiwagi is replaced by the female detective that follows around date whoose name is kashiwagi, who's not a character at all
Yall mfs were saying this was a bad adaptation but literally forgot that Amazon said "We are gonna do our own thing"
So why not do it about just JP mafia? They used Yakuza just to have the character names? Nothing adds up. Haruka's whole role was to be kidnapped tbh.
Man idk it's Amazon, ask them 😭
@@katarns money, using the yakuza IP brings more attention
@Pappalardium no it doesnt. lol people who have never heard of or played the game aren't going be drawn to it and then you just piss off the fans. honestly this is a stupid response.
They seriously didn't even try 😅
Kiryu Downgrade
This is horrible yuck🤮
Show was rubbish
No. They could do better than this.
