Shangri-La Frontier

Right from the first episode, this anime hooked me with its vibrant energy and tight pacing, delivering an experience that felt fresh, even while playing on familiar tropes. Visually stunning, with crisp, fluid animation and vibrant color schemes. Action scenes are choreographed with precision, while emotional scenes are rendered with a soft touch that enhances the emotional stakes.

It's world building is phenomenal. One of a kind anime. The show excels in action and spectacle but struggles to deliver emotionally impactful moments. The stakes within the game are high, but the emotional stakes in the real world feel somewhat superficial. The connection between the characters' in-game and real-world experiences could be explored more deeply to make their struggles feel more grounded and relatable.

As always you just can't trust critics. This show is amazing. It's got reallyGood characters a great story the fight scenes look very well done.

This anime is going to be one you don't want to miss out on. It's going to have 24 episodes as well which is a huge plus. 12 episodes are fine but when you double it, yessssssir. I'm not really sure what else to say because I don't want to ruin it with spoilers but just do yourself a favor and watch it I'd be surprised If you don't give it a personal rating of 8/ 10 For me it's. 10/10 I'm huge into anime and also video games so these ones just hit different for me.

Go watch it.

It's basically some gamer guy, who starts out OP, narrating what he does... like some streamer. 😑 "Look how good I am!" "See how fast I am!" It's some dude's fantasy to be good gamer... 😆

The animation is above average.

Voice Acting is average.

Story is... "See how good I am at playing a video game!" That's the entire story.

Storytelling: Poor. It's just following around some trash-talking dude as they play a video game... Like a streamer.

Character development: Non-existent. They start out OP.

It feels like this entire series is someone *wishing* they were good at video games, but in reality they *really* suck at them.

Overall, it's not terrible. It's watchable, but definitely a far cry from good anime. Want Great anime in the same genre? Solo Leveling.

"Listen, do you want to know the truth about this world?"

Shangri-La Frontier is a very entertaining anime. In terms of entertainment alone, this would be my pick of the season. It's about a very imaginative, grand and subtly mysterious video game. It's the kind of video game that you'll love to play yourself, because it's just that cool.

There's a lot to like about SLF. First of all, let's get to our protagonist - Sunraku. I thought he was a great protagonist and he was somewhat inspiring and I'll tell you why. He sets very high standards for himself. He never shied away from a challenge. He wouldn't forgive himself if he did.

Next, we have world-building. And that's one of the main reasons why SLF is so entertaining. The world of this game is vast and full of surprises, which is perfect for an entertaining story. I loved seeing Sunraku figure this game out as an experienced gamer. The side characters are also very likeable. Pencilgon and Emul in particular were my favourites. There was also that little mystery about how good the AI of the game is because you could hardly distinguish an NPC from a player if you compared their behaviour. There were many of these little mysteries surrounding this game and I'd love to see where this story goes.

The one thing about this anime that surprised everyone, was the technical aspect. Studio C2C has made okay-ish animes before. But SLF right here is their big break. The animation might not be consistent, but it's absolutely brilliant in the important scenes. And I think that's perfectly fine. The Wethermon fight scene was jaw-dropping in terms of visuals. The soundtrack too was very entertaining throughout the anime.

Overall I had a lot of fun with SLF and I can't wait for season 2!!!! I can't believe we'll get about 50 episodes in just 1.5 years. Thank you C2C! I'd definitely recommend watching this anime if you haven't.

I think this anime biggest plus is the main character he is so fun seeing him yelling about I am the master of trash games I can beat this new good game. Is fun seeing all of the different ways. He has to do it because he's under levelness and his curse. It's what I am about. I think that is the funniest part and god I love the rabbit. She is god damn cute. I want her in every single frame.

I think the plot is fine. It is entertaining the character is very cheeky. So it is fun to listen them talk to each other and it has the right bro feeling to it. It's just that it's not really too much to the anime. It is what it is and what it is. Just a good fun time but nothing more nothing against it but that's just it what it is.

The fight scenes are good and it is very detaining to see him figure them out and how to do it by using his trash gamer skills. It's just that it can get too long in the tooth. It's one of the fights. I'm mostly thinking about ways. Just feels like it takes way too long but most of them are very fun because they only take one episode any short and good though out.

But the problem I have with the show is I'm trying to think about it and most of it is already gone. It is mostly it is for in the moment I enjoy it but it's gone I have watched all of the First season and I'm always forgetting most of it. It's just a fun forget about show and that's okay.
