This show would need that network 20+ episode season order so they can fit all the filler content.

Apparently, it's only gonna be 6 episodes. Not sure how they will manage to do that. I guess they are testing the water

Why the fuck didn't they get Kuroda? He did the live action stuff too.

Just 6? That's insultingly small. Hopefully they do the games justice, because they're amazing.

Please note that I got my infos from facebook groups so it's very likely to be wrong. But there was enough people saying it for me to wonder

From what I've read, it's a 'loose' adapatation of Yakuza 0 and 1.

It seems to be accurate. Variety says that it will be released in 2 batches of 3 episodes. The first 3 episodes on Oct 25 and the next 3 episodes on Nov 1.

Here's a prediction of the episodes:

Episode 1: Kiryu is framed for murder

Episode 2: Kiryu gets distracted hunting for the framer by a UFO catcher, spends whole episode in a club sega

Episode 3: Kiryu encounters a pocket circuit race car

Episode 4: Kiryu takes on pocket circuit fighter for the title

Episode 5: Kiryu has a lead on the framer but meets a person who needs help infiltrating the Shooreh Pippi cult

Episode 6: Kiryu goes bowling.

They most likely will just follow the major story beats. A lot of side content was unnecessary(fun but not a major part of the series). The story in all of the games is amazing anyway and I can see them fitting the first Yakuza into a six episode season.

The main story beats weren't goofy though. Which is actually some of the best parts of the game. Like if you want the goofy parts then play the games lol.

I dont know what makes you think any of the plots in yakuza were serious or even good. One game involved ridiculous spy shit and everything

The side stuff is what makes the games

It was over the top but it wasn't meant to be 'funny' as far as the main beats went. The games are bonkers but it took itself seriously which is probably one of the best parts of the series.

Y2 was sort of serious til that one part with the castle.
Y0 is definitely the most serious of the games.

The main plots tend to be pretty serious, even if they are over the top. Most of the silly stuff is in the side stories

Even in Ichiban's games. The serious emotional moments were the some of the best part of the game

Okay saying that the plots of yakuza were never good or serious is a little much lmao

Its incredibly over the top but the main plot will still take itself seriously. Its like a soap opera, but that doesnt mean its bad.

I love the side stuff but i like the main plots in every game too.

Yeah, soap opera is a great way to describe how over the top the main story is. Doesn't change the fact that they're a fun ride, just because it's crazy lol
