Like a Dragon live action (liveblog) [ spoilers] [mostly shouting]
I'm watching the first episode
and I'm not. not sure what the fuck they're doing
How
HOW DID YOU GET KIRYU SO WRONG
WE ARE TEN MINUTES IN
KIRYU KAZUMA CAN'T PLAN A HEIST
TEENAGE Kiryu definitely couldn't AND WOULDN'T
KAZAMA IS RETIRED?!?!
What in the ever loving FUCK are they doing
/sits here in Ace Attorney sympathy
it doesn't even LOOK right
this is not even close
Oh noooo that's the worst!
"I want to be the Dragon of Dojima."
WHAT THE EVER LOVING FUCK
this is a completely different story
There is nothing about this that even vaguely resembles the story
Kiryu is the most OOC thing I've ever seen
Kazama is the most OOC thing I've ever seen
Yep. Adaptation deviation sucks.
this is like
the Dragonball Evolution levels of deviation
soooo I remember hearing that the actors weren't allowed to play the games to get an idea of their characters, but....this is even worse than I thought.
Maybe the scriptwriters also weren't allowed to know about the source material. o_O
ouch, that sounds super frustrating and sad 
"I want to be the Dragon of Dojima." NO. Wrong already!!
KIRYU planned a heist. Nishiki was the lackey. KIRYU was on a motorcycle. as teenagers
the Yumi and someone named Miho
and Kazama Is retired
.....oof
and then they got pulled in by the Yakuza who they stole from.
KAZAMA lost his pinky
like.
Kazama begged.
NO.
Kiryu scrambled and begged. ALSO no.
why is date meeting with.. nishiki?
who's got a white... office? and a black suit?
why does his office look like the Tojo clan headquarters but in white
....
you gave Yumi an actual sister
what. were. you. doing
who. was. this. for
okay. it's a little better now that we're in present day
did he just steal that guys car- that's fine, I guess
okay episode two is better so far
It's definitely Yakuza 1 Kiryu
WHY ARE THERE PENTAGRAMS?
what is this music choice
why is Nishiki wearing gray
That's NOT YUMI'S OUTFIT
THAT'S KOYUKI'S OUTFIT
THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE DOJIMA!?
WHY IS THERE AN ISSUE OF DEEDS
OMG WHY IS SAEJIMA SO SHORT
SAEJIMA IS TINY
WHY IS EVERYONE TINY
"Alice" and "Edgar"?
who the fuck are these people?
...what the fuck do you mean "10 million stolen from the Omi"
WHY DOES SHIMANO LOOK LIKE DOJIMA
HE HAS HAIR
HE HAS CURLY HAIR
I feel GASLIT by this goddamn show
why is yumi drunk with haruka?
Why are they playing MAD WORLD
Why did Aiko/Yumi leave Haruka for dead
Why did they play Mr. Bluesky earlier
...you killed Saejima
What the FUCK
HEY GUYS if this gets to four seasons YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE A PROBLEM
Oh, I was wondering how good or bad this show was, I see. I'm so sorry (being one of those DBZ Fans who lived though Evolution)
it's somewhere between Evolution and Keanutine
Lmao... this is why I didn't bring it up earlier. I... didn't make it past the 15 minute mark.
I was excited when I remembered it was a thing when it came out and then... wow. Just. So much Nope.
they're trying to do 0 and 1 at the same time and BADLY
It's just not Yakuza at all. /shakes head
like if it says something
if I had more time last night
i wanted to watch the 2007 movie as a palate cleanser
the ENERGY is just off
Yeah!
I'd much rather watch the old movie or stage play.
They're so much better and really fun.
I'm sad to hear it's not good. That it's got no Yakuza vibe.
it's like they slapped a totally different story with a few RGG character names and sort of vaguely waved towards it
