Crunchyroll Adult Swim Set Shenmue Tv Series

Crunchyroll and Adult Swim Productions are set to co-produce “Shenmue,” a thirteen-episode original anime series based on the SEGA game franchise.

The story follows the journey of Ryo Hazuki who witnesses his father’s murder at the family dojo. Ryo dedicates his life to finding the man responsible – a mission that takes him from the streets of Yokosuka, Japan to the sprawling metropolis of Hong Kong, and beyond.

Soon he’ll learn that larger, mystical forces are at play as he trains to become the ultimate martial artist in his quest for revenge. Sakurai Chikara (“One Punch Man” S2) directs with animation production by Telecom Animation Film. Video game creator Yu Suzuki will executive produce.

The series will stream worldwide outside of Japan and mainland China on Crunchyroll and air on Adult Swim’s Toonami in the domestic U.S.

It joins similar co-productions between the pair currently in the works including original series “Fena: Pirate Princess,” and “Blade Runner – Black Lotus”.
