Appreciate it OP, adding it to my list now. For those who need something to watch in the same vein until it releases in October, I highly recommend Michael Mann's Tokyo Vice.

Yeah this show is tight. I watched the first season. The guy who plays the young yakuza guy in this show would be a good kiryu.

We'll have to wait and see.
If it's an actual foreign production it might be decent. Seems like these streaming services only force their american shows to put the blue haired activists in the writing room.
But the other way around.
And it seems to focus on Kiryu

Kiryu is gay and have an affair with Majima that is now an African guy.

I mean it's probably not going to be good, but I will still watch it!
Please be good.
Edit: To be fair, there are quite a few great movies about Yakuza, so it's not an insurmountable task.
Hell, Tokyo Vice is pretty good.

Nearly every Yakuza member in that show felt like they would fit perfectly in the Yakuza I.P. and probably Judgment too.
It depends on if they go the more serious route like Tokyo Vice or if they take the tone of the recent games.

Based on the clothing it looks like it will be adapting Yakuza 0. A good place to start a series. At the beginning. Also works with the younger looking lead.
Can't wait for Kiryu and Majima to have a disco-off and exchange long, lustful stares.
How to train your dominatrix sub story or we fucking riot. Also please establish a connection to Pocket Circuit Fighter for future seasons. Genuinely loved experiencing his story over the course of the games.

I was in the trenches back on the GAF in the old days begging for a Y3 localisation. The it came with that horrendous boxart and all that cut content. But I was still happy.
Then I got the Y4 steel book edition to show my support for the series.
I never thought the franchise would be in the situation it is now in 2024 relatively booming and having cut through into a pretty big audience.
Same as Xenoblade and even more so NieR which were also on the verge of fading after the 1st game. Now they're some of the most popular Japanese games.

i'd also recommend one of the main inspirations of the series, the yakuza papers: battles without honor or humanity...

I don't see this guy as Kiryu. Even slightly more bulked up, his face and voice aren't a good match imo.
Will still check it out, hopefully it's good.

Ohhh didn't notice the one who directed "Naked Director" also direct this.
"Naked director" is crazy good and goofy just like Yakuza side quest. So I think this might be great.

Second season was amazing, too bad its cancelled

I'm retarded?
It will either be major suck balls or a surprise hit.
Yeah the show had an amazing atmosphere, good acting. The plot was eeeeeeh in season 2, it just didnt hit the landing I was expecting but still a good show.

Just because, these are three of my favorite Yakuza movies but they are a bit weird.
Gozu
Tokyo Drifter
A Colt is my Passport
I really need to watch Battles Without Honor and Humanity.

Too bad they cancelled the show after Season 2. Which I think was great too but I guess not enough views for corpos.

The "definitive" Yakuza movie 
Kidding aside, this crazyness is exactly what the Yakuza games are:

A real lack of diversity in the cast from what I've seen. Shame.

Live action. NICE. Wanna check out Tokyo vice too.
Hope they get the hair right. That's vital. I guess the poofy haired guy from like a dragon isn't in this one but my point stands

I love Yakuza, hell I even went to Japan to see Kabukicho, but yeah this doesn't look too promising
