SynopsisThe story is set in a neo-futuristic age, in which Tokyo has turned into the world’s largest “jungle-polis” that absorbs carbon dioxide. A tower city called Atlas houses the rich and privileged, and is the object of yearning of all who are not allowed to enter. But Atlas also has ancient secrets which cause a sudden whirl of events. Festooned by colorful characters such as a riotous teenage girl, a child genius, a juvenile princess, a drag queen, a female doctor, an army major, and an elderly gentleman and lady, SHANGRI-LA’s hard-core world view plays out as an anime action saga.
A striking vision of Earth's future from some of Japan's foremost creative talents, SHANGRI-LA is a tale of greed and division vs. bravery and the human spirit. Set against the backdrop of a Tokyo cityscape turned into a teeming jungle by runaway global warming, with the elite living in the comfort of the tower city, Atlas, and the less-privileged masses struggling in the squalor in the jungle – only one girl, Kuniko Hojo, and her band of guerrillas can find a way to preserve the future for everyone.. |

So the story of Shangri-la is about a girl's adventure in a "urban jungle" as you would call it. The so called Earth as we know it now has suffered damage from global warming and now nations have systems that could eliminate the carbon footprint to save itself. Tokyo now has become the largest carbon absorbing place in the world, and the city called Atlas now towers over it.
This story is pretty unique with characters that aren't shown in most animes.
The main character, Kuniko Hojo is not really your average girl, she might look ten but she's actually eighteen and a bit too energetic and hyper. Along with her is Momoko, a transsexual. Now you don't see them much in anime. There are a hand full of unusual characters in this anime like a little girl who looks like she wouldn't dare kill an ant but trust me...she's even worse.
It packs some very interesting fighting scenes and hilarious seconds. This anime will take you from "What is going on?" to "Omg! Can't believe that!"
But its also very weird in its own way. How?
Well, you got to watch it first because I'm not explaining.
But warning, don't put the volume up to high. read more

The same studio producers. Both have a very similar visual designs and both plot-lines also have an element of nature having taken over.

Both are centered around a young girl who seems on a higher level than the people around her, peace-loving but an adept fighter. They also both take place in a grim future where mankind's abuse of the environment has created a toxic, jungle-infested planet that is difficult to survive in.
