Shangri-La Frontier: Kusoge Hunter, Kamige ni Idoman to su 2nd Season Episode 25 Discussion

Binged two seasons and came away feeling conflicted about the series.

Not really looking forward to the continuation of the arc. The anime didn’t give me any reason to like Pencilgon or Oikatzo—most of the time, they just feel like Sunraku clones without much else to offer, and I found them increasingly annoying. On top of that, after watching The King's Avatar, I’ve grown to hate the whole "le epic gaming tournament" trope in anime.

So we get no ending. The night wolf isn't beat, nor is the octopus. The robot bit went nowhere, nor did we get anywhere with the competition arc. The team hasn't even met up once with mr MC... Nothing happened. Everything is ongoing.

I really don't like this chaos. Not only is everything all over the place, the timing is off, too. Couldn't they wrap up the octopus arc at the very least? Why leave all the fights for season 3? I get that they feel safe that they WILL get a season three - but I will not remember a single thing of this in two years. So annoying.

Also, why push mecha into a fantasy show? Man. What a letdown of a season. Hopefully the third will be better.

too many fillers. nobody cares what happens outside of the main game. we just SLF content.

I thought this show was called "Shangri-La Frontier" not "Weird masked guy plays a bunch of different games that are mostly crap, but sometimes plays one that's really good that has bunnies!"

Feels like they spent more time in other games than the one the show gets its title from, and is supposed to be about. People usually call this kind of crap FILLER.

If they were going to do filler, then things like meeting Rei outside the game and not knowing that she's Psyger-0 and other things that have to do with Shangri-La Frontier would have infinitely more interesting than sudden tangents to some crap mech game and then some stupid fighting game tournament that have nothing to do with Shangri-La Frontier.

Before someone says "It was like that in the manga," I do not care. I didn't read it, and if it truly is the case, then the manga is full of filler too.

It's like if in Demon Slayer, Tanjirou dropped everything to pick flowers to become a florist for no reason for a few episodes, then goes back to demon slaying, they set up this big fight with a strong demon, Tanjirou decides to enter some completely unrelated art contest, they finish the fight with the demon in the first 5 minutes of the last episode of the season, then the rest of the episode is about the stupid art contest, and the season ends on a cliffhanger.

Would be be going "ooooo I can't wait until next season to see how the art contest goes"? I doubt it. No one cares about the stupid art contest. I don't know why people care about this game tournament.

@animefanftw123

Nah, they are right. Don't call the show Shangri-La Frontier, and then have so many episodes that have nothing to do with it.

It's like watching Game of Thrones, and in the middle of the first season, Jon goes "I'm sick of this," leaves, and it's suddenly a rip-off of Scrubs for a bunch of episodes, then randomly goes back to being normal Game of Thrones.

Then the second season is a few episodes of Game of Thrones, a third of the season is Jon playing Quidditch, and the season ends with Jon playing in a Yu-Gi-Oh tournament, and ends on a cliffhanger.

Ooooo! Have to wait until season three to find out if Jon has the heart of the cards! Will he win the Yu-Gi-Oh tournament? No one gives a crap. It would be terrible, just like this show turned out to be.



What are you even talking about? No one's talking about SAO. Also, they completed one story before moving onto the Gun Gale stuff, which branched off into an alternate story.

Suppose they wanted to do all this crappy tournament crap. In that case, they should have waited for the season to be over and done a crappy Shangri-La Frontier Alternative that no one would watch all about the crappy tournament and/or the other crappy games they spent way too much time on.

@Euthymia_Gerv Love how you're saying how "bad" it is only after watching.

Its clear you like it otherwise you wouldve dropped it long ago.

Also, how they can hop from story to story like this yet remain popular as it is just proves how good the writing of the mangaka actually is.

So keep looking up reasons why you say you dont like this when you actually do.

Here i thought Tsunderes were a fictional concept.

@AbsoluteOpulence M8, ppl were saying from the start that the CGC arc was going to be mostly in S3.

So you only have yourself to blame for not listening.

As for the mechs, its literally just another video game like they did with guns for the SAO series.

Thus why ppl are just finding reasons to "hate" this is mind-numbing.
