Hope it can do the franchise justice.

I do really love this franchise and happy that it exists, but a part of me still wishes that it was just that one, barebones, lean, mean action movie that only hinted at a much larger world instead of the actual much larger world that has been laid out in front of us.

On the one hand I think a John Wick anime sounds neat but also I don't think every movie series has to be a never ending franchise especially when the series already has a conclusive ending.

Well, at least this time they're not trying to subvert that ending all over and over and over again even if it fails miserably every single time - like what happens with Terminator franchise, for example.

...but most likely they do, considering the 5th movie is in the works besides the anime and spinoff movies.

Gonna be hard to make a 5th movie work considering they had two different endings and chose one that would have to either lead to them retconning that in a nonsensical way. Or just doing another prequel.

I get why they're doing this, because John Wick is the only franchise Lionsgate has left that's in the green, but after The Continental was just "Eh", I don't feel good about it.
