Hopefully with an overhauled voice cast.

On the contrary, I'm pulling for the hilariously wooden OG dialog.

My bet? They get Ryo's original VA but actually direct him to sound like he gives a damn this time.

That's pretty meta. There's an uncertain future for an anime adaptation of a game whose sequels have an uncertain future.

I hope this line makes it to the anime.

Maximum metaness would be it getting released the same time as a big screen Yakuza movie that ends up on Netflix.

Now I’m crossing my fingers that Netflix gets the Takashi Miike adaptation of “Like a Dragon”.
