Ryo Hazuki never gets an ending

What would be the most fitting end forShenmue’s anime adaptation?

To be cancelled with its story incomplete, of course.

And so it is: Shenmue The Animation isn’t getting a season two.

The first season of 13 episodespremiered back in February.

It’s a story that remains incomplete - and that even the crowdfundedShenmue 3passed up the opportunity to resolve.

More significantly, I don’t know anyone who actually watched it.

If you want to, you canstream all the episodes for free from Crunchyrollwith English subtitles.
