"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.

My previous review of the series is listed below:

SLF is a pretty unserious, low stakes and carefree exploration into the fantasy genre, which doesn't exercise massive stupid rules of the world on you, just shows you a guy diving into a good game, a bit like a dark souls style VR game, having fun. You don't get the stupid parts of an isekai no one likes but it feels a bit like it's set in an isekai world, and while the worldbuilding and characters don't show anything new to you, I think the plain and simple idea is refreshing in itself and low effort.

Episodes of the show go down easy - you don't have to devote your whole soul to reading into the plot, there's good production quality and music, and so far no blisteringly irritating characters. Looking for a chilled out show that isn't boring? This is it! You literally will not get bored watching these early episodes at least - things unfold fast and well, and with a small amount of comedy to keep it light and a standard MC who realises gaming is a hobby and anything but edgy, it's just simple to watch.

The most notable thing about this show for me? Nothing! Let me reiterate how formulaic and standard it has been thus far, and yet it's not remotely boring. I can't quite place my finger on what's so interesting about it. It almost has an air of uniqueness to it.

In what could've been summarised in 3 sentences - good show, not special but still worth your time. Better than most of its genre.

Now this was what I had to say 3 episodes in. I was thinking this show had potential but would succumb to shameless fanservice or the like within a couple episodes and the ideas would run out. We're now about halfway through tje first season, and I have to say this show is worth investing your time in.

Shangri-La Frontier may not seem immediately special, but the fact the intensity of the show is so huge when it wants to be despite no "you die in game you die in reality" or such tropes makes me think it is special. It's not a shameless trope or a generic show because it isn't forcing itself to do more to make the concept interesting.

The show is genuinely entertaining. The characters are all quite funny and while there hasn't been a major male character besides Rakuro himself the women in this show are treated as human beings. The worldbuilding is literally incredible - I was a skeptic at first but they genuinely have thought everything and the combination of sci-fi and fantasy is well balanced. The enemies are well designed like the author was actually trying to make a fleshed out real game rather than just having slime number 2 followed by the main character fighting solely in PvP for the rest of the show. They've made it clear now that they are invested in making a realistic game where the progress in PvE in the show is going to be a part of the plot.

So I really think I needed to amend anything I stabbed at last time I reviewed - this show is special, is actually original and I can feel the intensity and hype without the stakes of death on the line because it's well written. It's also not trying to drop sob stories on people which is great.

9/10. Genuinely higher caliber than expected.

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.

Wasting time watching a new series just to find out it's terrible is the worst, so when Shangri-La Frontier popped up as an option I very nearly skipped it. No one talks about this show. There's no buzz or hype that I've seen whatsoever, and given how much mediocre anime there is out there at a glance this seemed more of the same. It isn't. It's actually quite good. I'd go so far as to say it's the best 'full-dive' online game anime I've ever seen, easily on par / surpassing bigger titles such as Log Horizon, Overlord, SAO, and Accel World.

The creators are obviously mmo gamers themselves. You can see this in showcased mechanics, message board behavior from the community, or hilarious moments set-up for maximum, social awkwardness. While you don't need to be a gamer to enjoy it (they provide charming, pop-up explanations for the uninitiated), it's made for people who are. Story itself is well told. Pacing in particular. A surprising amount of attention given to specific events makes you excited for what comes next. They could have cut out entire episodes for the sake of time or additional work involved but didn't. It's deliberate considering the context, and far better for it. Clearly there's real vision for the overall story being told and no shortcuts are being taken here.

SLF isn't an isekai. There are no life-threatening stakes involved, no one is trapped, and there are zero irl concerns worth mentioning of any kind. This is also a comedy first and foremost. It's deliberately dumb at certain points, and funny in the best way. SLF knows exactly what it is and pulls it off perfectly.

I really enjoyed this show. If any of the above sounds appealing, you will, too.

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.

This feels like it was written by someone who actually plays games or at least did their research. The MC is a guy who hunts and exploits glitches and unlike a lot of the protags I see for this kind of thing he isn't a sad friendless loser, which is a nice change of pace. He actually has friends he chats with across games who each have their own weird approaches and playstyles. I liked the understanding the writer has that games are communal. The people who are breaking this game have a history of doing the same kind of thing across other games.

They're good at games because they test each other in competition and swap ideas. The protagonist wasn't born special, he's someone with a long standing hobby of playing unfair games and using solid meta understanding or exploits to get through them.

The world of the game itself is interesting, and actually sounds like something I would enjoy playing. It leaves the game's main story a mystery and then drops hints at it instead of front loading the viewer with infodumps over explaining everything like a lot of anime do. I think the show is building a mystery on the real life side on why the game works the way it does, and I'm interested in seeing how that pans out.

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.

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.

This anime is too OP i don't know how it just rate below 8.5 it's one of the best anime I have seen( I have seen almost every anime).

I hope people appreciate the animation and story of Shangri la. Also I love the opening song of season 2. Go and watch this anime the fighting style and story of the Shangri la frontier where it include multiple unique monsters and unique stories with them make it a hell lotta intresting. .🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. I don't have 600 words to sayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy although I love the anime it's in my top 10 mostly season 2 it was the best among mids coming this season I like it a lot. I hope it continues the story with short breaks.

Shangri-La Frontier (SLF) is a thrilling anime centered around a game-based universe. For fans of game-based anime like Trapped in a Dating Sim, SLF offers a similar yet distinct experience. While the two series differ significantly in tone and premise, both capture the excitement of navigating intricate in-game worlds.

The anime focuses heavily on gameplay mechanics, character level-ups, and immersive in-game story arcs, which are its main highlights. Rei Saiga (Sunraku in the game world) brings energy to the narrative, and while the chemistry between Rei and other characters like Sunraku is subtle, it's not the primary focus. Instead, SLF delves deep into the challenges, triumphs, and mysteries of its vibrant virtual world.

Initially captivating, the show tends to lose its momentum mid-way, as the emphasis on game mechanics sometimes overshadows character development. Despite this, it's a well-executed series for gamers and anime enthusiasts alike, offering a unique escape into a complex and adventurous virtual realm.

In short there is no twits, no drama, nothing to lose or gain here... It is like drawing a straight line to the infinity! You don't' worry and you don't cheer for any of the characters.

Characters - development mehhhhh! So far I watched every released episode and not much to relate to. You really cant be empathetic about anything with any of them. They just don't touch any emotional aspect of a viewer.

Fight scenes - I would not say it is horrible or bad, but it has nothing special about it.

Drawing - only thing that was more or less fine here.

You know what, find out for yourself. If you wanna kill some time and do some work/study or any similar activity while playing this on background, you won't be missing anything important.

Shangri-La Frontier is a breath of fresh air in the vast and often overwhelming sea of anime, offering a delightful experience for viewers who want to immerse themselves in an exciting adventure without the heavy cognitive load of deeply intricate narratives. While many shows aim to challenge their audience with complex storylines, layered themes, and morally ambiguous characters, Shangri-La Frontier strikes a refreshing balance by presenting a straightforward, engaging, and thoroughly enjoyable journey. This is the kind of show where you can simply sit back, relax, and let yourself be swept away by the vivid world and dynamic characters.

The premise of Shangri-La Frontier is charmingly simple: it follows Rakurou Hizutome, a hardcore gamer with a penchant for "trash games," as he ventures into the eponymous virtual reality MMORPG, renowned for its breathtaking visuals and rich gameplay. What immediately sets this anime apart is its unabashed embrace of the joy of gaming. There is no convoluted "save the world" narrative or unnecessarily dark undertone; instead, the focus lies on the sheer fun of exploration, growth, and overcoming challenges within the game's immersive world. For anyone who has ever felt the thrill of delving into a video game, Shangri-La Frontier is like a love letter to that experience.

One of the show's greatest strengths is its protagonist, Rakurou. Unlike the stereotypical "chosen hero" trope often seen in similar anime, Rakurou is an everyman with extraordinary gaming skills. His confidence and enthusiasm are infectious, and his unique background as a "trash game hunter" gives him a perspective on gaming that feels both novel and relatable. Watching him adapt his skills to Shangri-La Frontier's demanding environment is a joy, as his passion for gaming shines through every scene. The show doesn't bog itself down with excessive exposition or philosophical musings about the nature of virtual reality or identity; instead, it focuses on what's fun and exciting about being in the game.

Another standout aspect of Shangri-La Frontier is its world-building. The in-game world is richly detailed, filled with stunning landscapes, intriguing lore, and diverse challenges. The animation brings this digital universe to life with vibrant colors and fluid action sequences that are a feast for the eyes. Whether it's an epic boss fight or a quiet moment of discovery, the world of Shangri-La Frontier feels alive and inviting. The show's visuals are complemented by a dynamic soundtrack that enhances the sense of adventure without overshadowing the story.

What makes Shangri-La Frontier a perfect "go-to" show is its accessibility. The plot is straightforward and easy to follow, making it an excellent choice for viewers who want to unwind without having to unravel complex mysteries or navigate intricate character webs. This doesn't mean the show lacks depth; rather, it prioritizes fun and entertainment over heavy-handed storytelling. The pacing is brisk, ensuring that there's always something exciting happening without overwhelming the viewer with unnecessary filler or overly dramatic subplots.

The supporting cast also adds to the show's charm. From quirky NPCs to other players within the game, every character feels distinct and contributes to the overall enjoyment of the series. The interactions between Rakurou and these characters are often lighthearted and humorous, adding to the show's laid-back appeal. There's a sense of camaraderie and community that mirrors the real-world gaming experience, making it easy for viewers to connect with the story.

In many ways, Shangri-La Frontier succeeds because it knows exactly what it wants to be: a fun, action-packed adventure that doesn't take itself too seriously. It's a reminder that sometimes, entertainment doesn't need to be groundbreaking or revolutionary to be thoroughly enjoyable. The show's charm lies in its simplicity and its ability to capture the pure, unfiltered joy of gaming.

For anyone looking for an anime that offers a sense of escapism without requiring deep analysis or emotional investment, Shangri-La Frontier is the perfect choice. It's a show where you can turn off your brain, kick back, and simply enjoy the ride. With its vibrant world, likable protagonist, and thrilling action, it's the kind of series that feels like a much-needed break from the complexities of daily life. Shangri-La Frontier isn't just an anime; it's a celebration of fun, and for that reason, it's my go-to show when I just want to relax and be entertained.

I was skeptical at first. Another anime about a virtual world, where nothing the characters do really matters in the grand scheme of things?

Just like the happenings in every piece of entertainment don't really matter much in our world beyond our own personal, emotional investment in them. SLF makes you care about the game world and curious about it's mysteries and NPC inhabitants. The characters are colourful, unique, and easy to distinguish from each other. The action is great. The character relationships and interactions are endearing. There may or may not be a singing rabbit.

When the season concluded, I went and read the manga (also fantastic), and there is a lot more cool stuff on the way for anime fans.

Beautifully done. A worthy adaptation.

The premise is pretty basic --it's some talented gamers taking on the most advanced VR game to come along yet. (With some diversions to other games and IRL interaction.)

I've seen people saying it's low-stakes, but... yeah, so what? I'd rather watch characters I can relate to play an interesting game together than see another generic protag-kun build a harem and save the puddle-deep world they exist in.

The main game world, along with the ancillary ones, are really interesting, the characters have personalities, and there is a distinct lack of tired tropes and fanservice drivel that exists in so many other cookie cutter animes. It's fresh. Someone actually put care into the world building and the story, so much so that I actually got the manga and read ahead, and that only made me more enthusiastic.

As far as animation and voice acting and stuff, it's all pretty good, the art is great, but as good as it is I wish they had a bigger animation budget, as this anime deserves it. I will say the intros and credits have been bangers especially in the second season, to the point where I tend to not only NOT skip them, I rewatch them.

There are not many animes I would rate higher than this one, and I think it is the best of the deep-dive VR types to come along.

I watched anime for the first time and my first bucket list start by this anime which is give me vibe of full on gaming and virtuality and now if So one ask me how is it I can explain whole story in long answer cause I really appreciate the grafics and work on the anime I learn so many new things from this anime which is how to try again ur Next moves dont reveal early cause everyone have brain to think like you I love most rabit character and the smith aslo work efficient on the swords but the best part is his first fight with wolf and eve dont even take any damage from wolf and dont defeat him but get cursed from him and then in the end he finally.

So I've been watching this for a while, mostly cause of the fact it can just be quite boring, this show has been on my list for a while and everyone was saying how it was one of those amazing but short shows but me personally it's really just meh, I think it is a really cool concept obvs just how big gaming is and that I play games myself and I also just got into vr this type of game would be amazing to experience, I think the story is acc somewhat entertaining sometimes I would much rather watch the mc walk and talk than some fight scenes, I really just find the fights boring man except from the colossi the mc fights those are acc pretty good I guess like I just watch it and I can't help to think like these guys are sleepin in their bed and acting like this in a game and when they die they just respawn no matter how hard I try forget about it and put it into a bit more serious perspective I just can't man and also it just makes some moments cringe personally but I don't have much to say about it but the animation tho is amazing like very good and voice acting like it's fine no problems with it but also nothing like crazy But I mean ye I guess that's it I guess it is cool how it's like a game and u level things up and get diff armour and stuff but like at the end of the day it is just a game so it just bugs me out a little bit and I think my overall review is that it's alright I probably wouldn't rewatch unless a new season comes out but even then might not rewatch it and just watch the new season.

Immersion is one of the best aspects of literature. Immersion creates a mindset where the audience is allowed to engage with any piece. It lets us fantasize and develop interest in these features, limitations and plots. Engagement creates a bond between us and this story, or us and the characters, or us and the world. It forces us to get invested in whatever we are being told because we seek meaningful connections. I want to describe my affection for this masterclass of immersion and dump the reasons onto whoever will listen as to why I found myself enamored by this story.

The world building is definitely one of the larger reasons to get immersed in. It both creates bread crumbs for you to follow and also can leave some stuff vague enough for you to create your own speculations on(perfect for those types of English teachers). You find allusions to the popular idea of going naked because you don't plan on getting hit by LetMeSoloHer. You have more allusions to Pokemon, classic fairy tales and history. Even Shangri-La is an allusion to James Hilton's novel Lost Horizon and the company being named Utopia has a double meaning of how Shangri-La is supposed to be a fantasy place in myth but also being a place of where gods may reside(like heaven and where the staff control the game like gods). There are fascinating community theories behind the most significant and insignificant characters. This can only happen if there is the perfect balance between info and the withholding of info. I'm kinda conflicted on how exposition could be handled but I think it was fine. I think it doesn't force it down your throat but if you are interested, you are allowed to pause and take in the lore and flavor text and your leisure.

The characters are never flat. Even god figures are given amazing personalities with the utopia staff. Instead of having a bland monotheistic god where they are all holy and pure, it's more like how Greek gods would usually squabble amongst themselves but still hold immense power. The smallest character would probably be a rabbit merchant but they even get their moment by showing their larger interests in the unusual idols of the seven colossi. Emul gets a great role as an immature but also loveable sidekick. It's just so apparent how much care the characters get because even the names of Vysache's children get a theme. Vysache himself is the all powerful former king of Rabituza that has many fascinating community theories around him(an amazing engagement builder). Kotatsu gets the competitive joker friend that vibes so well with Sunraku, oozing lifelong friends/rivals. Then Author is the genius villain underneath an elegant face finding new purpose in her friends after achieving her main goal of the game. Everyone is incredibly consistent with their character but no one is ever scared of being more than themselves, as they crack jokes, implement ideas, and bounce off each other. Although Akane is relatively new, it was still amazing that we got a glimpse of her character from season 1 and not just a random character pulled for plot and fan service that is seen in every single other isekai/fantasy anime(although this isn't isekai, it does what every trash isekai tries to do but so much better). Then Rei, although has a lot of motives revolving around Sunraku, is much more than capable just by herself and is such a relief to have a personality that is entertaining and can't help but root for her.

I feel like some fights are inconsistent with killing and damage methods, like there were not a lot of substantial attacks but they managed to kill these top level monsters with high defences and reputations that gain them infamy. To be killed by a single person while trying to hype up the monster as a strong foe is sorta lazy power scaling. This case does feel better when there is a team involved as it is now not just solo power scaling but in a lot of cases, the other partner does not inflict many attacks. (sorta like the usurper dragon, the gold scorpion, the flame/lighting whale / maybe the land shark, the clown spider, the poop snake but since they are beginner bosses they are not hyped up). But they did work well with the golems(in overdressed golem's case, fun to see community as his teamwork), lich, dullahan. The mechanics other than just dealing most damage is a nice breath of fresh air but it unfortunately can't be too common.

The art style is just perfect, it conveys power in the most important scenes and the brilliant colors, awesome line art and spectacular illustrations all at the best of times makes me deeply appreciate the amazing care the production puts into these episodes. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, then let me describe to you the mythical action scenes between Sunraku and the Seven Colosi, ahem: (spectacular x 1000). Although I am fanboying hard, I really can't understate that the most important moments feel important because they show their significance through their illustrations at the best moments. I am slightly upset by the sometimes ugly 3D but at least it isn't when it matters.

The story doesn't need to create a heightened sense of tension and purpose because it isn't supposed to. It's supposed to be fun and comedic with moments of legendary action. As someone who needed an escape, I found this world to be an amazing comfort series that I want to not only see grow, but thrive. I can't stand it if someone compares it poorly to Solo Leveling, Log Horizon or SAO because these anime are trying to achieve different things. They do fulfill a power fantasy but through different avenues. You find that these are different fruits that taste sweet but decide how you pick them and what other flavor profiles they have and then you are comparing apples to oranges to grapes. Please understand that I don't want to put down other anime, but they don't accomplish what Shangri-La Frontier is and wants to accomplish. So don't put it down just because it doesn't do what it doesn't want to do.

I love how creative the combat can get and how the realism is mixed perfectly with fantasy. The story even gives us insights into game mechanics and it's so awesome that it allows the viewer to speculate on how this can be utilized, engaging the viewer and respecting their attention. Then to see the payoff of the mechanic foreshadowing is just the cherry on top. Inertia, gravity, AI mechanics, the ideas are set up perfectly. It's just better for the audience to get a slight peak as to how the main character will turn the situation for themselves because again, engages the viewer, instead of pulling BS from nowhere and has no opportunity to immerse the audience. Then there are the realistic challenges that Sunraku faces that perfectly describes how a gamer's issues may be created. The unprepared rush when heading into a boss "alone" is definitely something gamers can relate to but the solution to this challenge was spectacular as we see Sunraku grow in the middle of this fight and we see the switch from game to survival simulator with friends(in this case, he was too prepared to do this solar but instead realized he needed Emul). Then there are the balance patches that totally screw over Sunraku, but it wouldn't be engaging or realistic to let him abuse these unintended mechanics. It's too common to see trash isekai repeat the same mechanic over and over again to push their plot. He has to world hard and doesn't trivialize challenges.

Despite being announced for season 3, I mainly needed to write this due to some post series depression and hopefully you guys won't flame me too hard. Thanks for reading.

Do know why have positive reviews to be honest, its a pretty average and mediocre anime with above average animation, there is no real danger like solo leveling, there is no drama not complicated stuff, nor romance, not funny stuff it just a very ok anime virtual reality game with a vey forgettable plot and characters, anime fans need to be more demanding and ask for better stuff, this is not good, and they are giving good reviews only because of the pressure other otakus are putting in webs like my animelist, and that's just sad af to be honest, that's not good and we need to do better than that ok.

If you ever watched SAO, then you know that anime is not a true Isekai but still SAO is a interesting concept that has Excellent MC Design, Excellent MC's Waifu Desgin with a great storyline and great action adventure in the VR world. There is a seriousness and dept to it. Well, "Shangri-La Frontier" is the opposite of that. The MC's character Design is just Lazy and Pathetic. His backstory is pathetic as well. He plays all the pathetic games that no one plays. When there are perfectly good AAA VR games exists. And when he finally start to play a AAA game, there he wears a "Bird mask" and no clothing or armor. It's seems like the writer intentionally did this so that the MC's mouth won't have to be animated. Nor his clothing or armor need to be animated. Saving money in anime production. Even his first Waifu Design in the VR World is Lazy and stupid and nonsense. She wears a huge male Armor that should not even fit her. And we all know in Game World all female armor and clothing supposed to be skimpy/lightweight in design. That is just common sense. And the writer makes her run fast with that huge male armor which is pure nonsense. Well if you want something different and awkard that normal then this anime is for you. This anime is also a comedy. The MC's talks too much even in battle, and he talks with himself. If you think about it, it's actually good that he wears a bird mask all the time. So that we don't have to suffer watching his mouth running all the time. There is a reason Good AAA games MC don't talk. And the writer didn't knew that.

Ultimately this anime is about a guy who plays pathetic games decides to play a Popular AAA VR Open World Game with a Bird Mask and no clothing or armor. No lives are at any risk here. It's just a game. And the MC wants to beat it. Although beating the game accomplish nothing. No one is actually in danger. There is no real plot here.
