Shangri-La Frontier: Kusoge Hunter, Kamige ni Idoman to su 2nd Season

Ever since Rakurou "Sunraku" Hizutome started to play the extremely popular virtual reality game Shangri-La Frontier, he has truly fallen in love with it. Sunraku has quickly made a big name for himself by fighting two of the seven unique, nearly unbeatable monsters, which is unthinkable for most players. To progress the game's story, he sets out on an adventure with his leporine guide, Emul, to acquire a magic operation unit from an ancient workshop.

Though Sunraku breezes through this quest alongside his clanmates Towa "Arthur Pencilgon" Amane and Kei "OiKatzo" Uomi, there seems to be an ulterior motive as to why the two of them decided to help Sunraku in the first place. Nevertheless, Sunraku gains valuable knowledge and allies, critical for his advancement in the game. By seeking out powerful enemies and unraveling the inner workings of the game's world, Sunraku may just change Shangri-La Frontier forever.

Ladies and Gentlemen! Let me introduce the best mmorpg anime introduction that can take Sao's crown.

I don't want to say much about this season, because this season cut two main events in two and I liked this side road where the story went which no longer wants to be just a plain mmorpg anime, but what a player's life is like, and I also liked that it wants to be more than what it introduced in season 1.

I also liked Sword Art Online, even if the mmorpg part was badly cut and it's full of harems, but if this Shangri continues like this and the ... quality of the anime stays the same, then this will be the best mmorpg anime!

I've been reading the Manga and the quality is always top, which is also beautiful and amazing to read every single page.

The characters are lovable, the story is quite good and the music is great choices and I can't say anything negative about it and of course we're only at the beginning of the story!

10/10 This anime is every gamer's dream!

Mixed Feelings

I feel like this season had a lot of promise but it fell short of it's predecessor for a couple of reasons in my opinion.

Season 1 presented other players as threats and the whole idea of PKers seemed a bit more important but in this season there weren't really any outside threats at all.

Another thing that I liked in season 1 that they completed fumbled in season 2 is the eerie, mysterious feeling of the truth behind the world inside Shangri-La Frontier. For example, the vibes that were given off between Setsuna and Pencilgon felt like there was something deep and dark behind the ... game that we would follow up on further this season.

The last problem I had with this season is the pacing. There's nothing wrong with our MC playing other games every now and then but there are times we are ramping up to a major plot point and Sunraku takes a break to meet up with someone in another game and it just takes you out of it because he'll be out the game for a couple episodes.

Oh! And Saiga (Psyger 0) is annoying.

Preliminary (23/25 eps)

Shangri-La Frontier left you feeling a bit underwhelmed. when a story is set inside a game where death has no real consequences, it can take away the tension and stakes. While the animation is good, non-stop fighting without deeper storytelling can make it feel repetitive.

The MC’s masked identity does seem a bit unnecessary unless it plays a big role later, but if it just serves as a gimmick, it might feel forced. And yeah, a lack of clear goals or achievements for the characters can make the plot feel aimless. It’s like watching cool battles without really caring about the outcome.

It was enjoyable but slowly ... it becomes kind of boring seeing same shit and running and shouting of our mc
