Shangri-La Frontier


The world is full of games the most popular of which is the Full Dive MMORPG Shangri-La Frontier. The ones that tend to get overlooked are known as trash games. Rakurou Hizutome is known as the trash game hunter because he spends his time trying to defeat the games most people would rather ignore. After defeating a difficult trash game called Faeria Chronicle Online a store owner suggest he try playing Shangri-La Frontier which already has thirty million players around the world after only being out for a year. Despite it not being a trash game Rakurou decides to give it a try. He creates a character named Sunraku, that goes around wearing a bird mask. However, rather than going to the beginning town like everyone else, Sunraku starts out in the forest and skips it entirely, heading straight for the second town which is guarded by a poisonous snake. While Sunraku is able to beat it he gets covered in poison before the monster vanishes. Will he have the HP to get to the second town before he dies?

Shangri-La Frontier was way better than I was expecting. Some people say the MMORPG anime genre is overdone. However, this one was pretty well received from what I could tell. I really liked it because it felt completely different from other MMORPG anime like Sword Art Online and Full Dive. While some might take issue of the main character walking around shirtless the entire anime, I felt it was a lot cleaner than most anime out there. It does swear pretty often though. So if you aren't a fan of language that is something to be aware of. Overall, I would highly suggest it. It's pretty funny as well as entertaining. The world building is incredible as well.
