Now that their fight is over, Sunraku and his teammates can finally move on. That was their toughest quest yet in game.

Momo from the Schwarzer Wolf makes an appearance and she kinda reminds me of Arthur somewhat. Speaking of Arthur, she still shows her badass aside and let her words speak her mind.

The episode when through like a breeze, 30 minutes felt too short. The satisfaction and excitement of defeating a unique boss emanating even in real life.

3:08 Lmao 天晴 (tensei) - "sky clear", Weathermon's attack (not a real word) and 天晴れ (appare) - "splendid; praiseworthy; admirable; brilliant" are written with the exact same characters.

17:31 Iirc "Faeria Chronicle Online" is the game from the first episode where Sunraku kicked the elf in the face.

Soooooo, did they get any loot? I guess it's gonna be revealed later.
Man, this has the best cliffhangers lol
Interesting how their victory and names were announced to everyone. They won't be able to be in public at all now. Good episode!

To everyone saying that SLF Theaters take time from the episode: The ED ends at around 24 minutes, which is the regular anime episode length. Episodes in SLF are 26-27 minutes long, meaning that theaters are actually additional content that doesn't take time away from the episode.
The one this week was cool too. It refers to how Ashura Kai guys were chasing Sunraku back in episode 9

Well, that's a disappointment.
Thought we'd get some real deep backstory of Unique monster + unique quest
Turns out it's as barebone as it gets like a lot of MMO...

We got a special ED for Wethermon but then i can hardly feel emotionally attached to Setsu and Wethermon since we still know nothing about them.
Why he turns undead? What is the meaning of the song? Why is she singing? Why is the pvp girl cares so much about Setsu?
All we get is some sad song and quest completion notice...

Is this your kokoro, lol the two of them teasing Pencilgon was hilarious. Dunno why they decided to translate kokoro as soul and not heart in the sub title though. There were some other questionable translation choices in the sub title too during the announcement and stuff. I much prefer the manga translation.

Anyway shafro's story has progressed to a new stage and according to Setsuna they gotta look for Bahamut next to find out more. Excited for that.

Word about them beating the unique got out, was fun watching others reaction to it. Pencilgon vs Psyger 0 was lit. Here's to a fresh start for Pencilgon from here on out.

Shangri La Frontier just continues to prove further and further to me why it is one of my favourite animes of recent time. So much fun. I love the main trio, and it is always great to watch. And as time progress, I like Pencilgon more and more though I already love Pencilgon a lot. Interested and excited to see where she goes after this after basically dropping right out of Ashura Kai. Did not know that guy was her brother 😂

Sadly Sunraku isn't that much into the story the game provide, but at least he get his fun from the gameplay.

I've to check the official website if Arthur and Orcelot are really related, and yes, the website said they're "real siblings", though not clear who's older. Though Sunraku seems to think that Arthur is older sister.

Sunraku love to narrate battle scene, could this hint that Sunraku aim to be sports commentator or news anchor in the future....

Well that's it i guess. Game story updated, progressing into 12%. As expected now Sunraku, and ofc for the rest, becomes more popular than before. But to think there's a new continent tho. Perhaps Sunraku also wanna go to the dark continent as well?

But before that, Psyger-0 visiting them thanks to the updated pk-prevention phone-a-friend signal. Pencilgon brother death. Pencilgon now had an excuse to challenge Psyger-0. Wow that lady really loves to battle, eh? B2B for Pencilgon, now that's what i call ggwp...

Emul on slf theatre, so damn noisy. Miss her so much already tho. So let's see if our mini rabbit get a screentime next week!

It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

You know, it's strange that they didn't get a SIGNLE reward for defeating one of the major bosses in the game... Well, at least they cleaned out the pockets of those Ashura Kai dudes.

With Psyger-0 being on the KV of this arc, I was expecting her to start making moves at some point, and I guess that point is right now.

Yeah I'm super confused by ALL of their posts about this show especially with the past claims of having played MMO's. The music/singing is clearly the anime not the game and people developing strong bonds of attachments to characters sometimes with the bare minimum of character knowledge is pretty much all the time in games. Not to mention there's clearly more going on than just what we got.

Even after defeating Wethermon the work isn't done. We got some emotional scenes with Setsuna explaining whom she is and what her place in the Wethermon story is. Now that he's been defeated she can move on as well, Pencilgon having a heartfelt reaction to seeing Setsuna depart. Sunraku and Katzo are relentless with the teasing Pencilgon about actually having a heart. The game itself announcing to the whole player base that these three defeated a legendary monster is both good and bad since now they're equally revered accomplishing that which no one had before but also they'll be infamous and everyone will target them. The notion of a world story separate from the game story is interesting, like there's another layer to this game that's hard to progress through, or even known, for most players. Pencilgon luring her brother to that spot and having Sunraku summon Psyger 0 was awesome. Not letting those guys get away at all, stealing their loot as a nice bonus. Pencilgon being very noble of leaving her old ways behind and starting fresh with a new character. But not wanting to just lay down and die she wants to go out fighting with Psyger0. She has the right mindset to begin a better path.

question for manga readers is shangri la mini in anime only just to fill in time or the manga also has this mini

anyway who knew attack master was so strong she would have been a better fit for the team than arthur because she was somewhat useless expect the amount she spend on that battle that was very useful

@Zaxphred

It's anime only, but it works since the manga volumes have something similar with bonus written chapters(as in, WN/LN written) that are similar as well as trivia chapters explaining backstory and in-game mechanics.

Pencilgon was actually a legit good choice due to a mechanic that will be explained later in a very likely S2 whenever we get that.

A game evolving according to the actions of the players. It's not a unique concept these days, but damn, this anime's showing it quite well. Hell, in reality, I think we're quite close to having games like that. Shangri-La Frontier is setting a good example for what to see in a "God-tier game", and we can take inspiration from that.

Still blows my mind how they managed to give more personality and character to a video game special boss than some seasonal shows give to the big bad of an entire arc. Such a beautiful end to Setsuna and her lover’s story. Could not help but tear up a little during she and Arthur’s farewell.

It’s really cool that the world has a global progression system similar to SAO, but also the recently released helldivers ii, which I now wanna play after this episode lol. We’re only 12 percent thru the SLF story so man I wonder what else they’ll throw at us.

Now that everyone knows who took down wethermon, things will get very interesting for Sunraku and the others. Can’t wait to see the next unique boss they take on.

Wasn’t expecting to see Psyger 0 vs Arthur but man that was fun. Need more of them interacting honestly. Hopefully now that the wethermon fight is done she’ll go on quests with them

A satisfying ending to a decent arc. The fight scenes were solid. Definitely more excited about the setup of the world now. Excited to see how the world treats the 3 of them after all that (Probably unwanted) publicity. I wonder how things will change for them from here on out.

@Zaxphred That's not necessarily true. That boss fight curb everyone level to 50, thus Psyger 0 probably wouldn't have access to her most destructive skills. In other hand enemy attacks were basically 1hko. Evasion was name of the game and if you think it about even if Rei were able come with same strategy (which she wouldn't) she would be still as "useless" early in combat as she would need do exactly same thing as Arthur ie managing scales. And when Arthur eventually joined battle she was one to figure Kirin weak spot and to destroyed it. Thus at best Psyger 0 would be at very best equally useful against this particular boss, but she is no leader nor strategist, so I don't think it could work

I am not saying she wouldn't be MUCH better against different unique though.

None of my questions are explained. This is like the most barebone backstory i've seen from a villain that has been built up for almost a full season.

either watch the show again and you might figure it out as it shows you some of that stuff.
and some of it is obviously being saved to reveal later, you think everytime anything happens in a show it needs an in depth explantaion, no, you need some mystery, some missing details to get people immersed in the story and to theorise what will happen next or what something meant. As an anime only watcher, I and every single person ive seen online other than you think this is done really well.

or you can just stop watching if you think its so bad, but if you dont understand why this show did what it did then youll struggle with a lot of shows, I personally recommend you watch thomas the tank engine or something they dont have any of this storytelling nonsense.


ps. she wasnt singing, it was a song playing in the background, you know like all shows play songs that fulfil the mood and isnt something the characters actually hear
