There will be no sequel to the first season of Shenmue The Animation released last year. It was Jason DeMarco, Senior Vice President of Cartoons for Warner Bros. Animation and Cartoon Network, who made the bad news known by a tweet, further supporting the curse that has followed the license since its debut in the video game. Ryo Hazuki therefore finds himself endlessly on his own adventures, following the restructuring strategy of Warner Bros since its merger with Discovery. Shenmue The Animation is not the only series to be impacted, since Blade Runner: Black Lotus, Fena: Pirate Princess, Lazor Wulf and Tigtone are not renewed.
Sorry guys. This happened. You can still watch all of the anime on Crunchyroll and it will still be available as digital downloads. And yes, it’s looking like no S2 of Shenmue, even though sadly- it did well enough that we were gearing up for S2. Maybe one day… https://t.co/WpM3O6NcSC
