I thought that it was really good. How closely it follows to the game's story? I don't know. I just recently got into the Yakuza games series, but have only played Like A Dragon still. However, I enjoyed the story and the action. I'm not sure yet how serious the other games are, but the show is a little more on the drama side. It seems like that is where a lot of the hardcore fans are complaining. I think that it would have benefitted from having some of the side quests at the end of each episode, like 5 minute epilogues, to have the seriousness of the main story, and light heartedness of the games. They did put up a video of Kazuma singing karaoke on youtube, which was nice. However, overall it was a good show that made me interested in each character's story.
