Yet another Yakuza live action adaptation and by first ten minutes... it's pretty accurate:

@a1ba ohhh man I hope you'll love it. I already watched it the moment it came out, and this show is so peak it's unbelievable

Don't want to spoil anything, but let's just say this adaptation is a bit TOO faithful

Honestly this Yakuza x Nihon Touitsu show is easily the best thing that happened with our beloved franchise in the past year

@a1ba I'M TELLING YOU THIS SHOW IS PEAK CINEMA, THAT'S WHAT I MEANT BY "TOO FAITHFUL"

And that's far from the only thing they took from the game! Everyone loves this show so far

@a1ba and also Bob Utsunomiya, Staminan X, style switching, etc etc... They didn't need to cook that hard

RGG Studio: people didn't like Amazon show. Can you make this one more faithful to the original?
Nihon Touitsu: lmfao okay

@shinsho it kinda reminds me of the older Y1 adaptation. It wasn't that faithful to the story, but also goofy like that.
