QUICK TAKES

In all honesty, I thought it would not be as interesting as it was. The only thing that attracted me was the art but when the game started I was hooked!

Coming in blind after finishing S2, I expected chaos—but this season ep hits different. This opens like a troll and pivots hard into legit hype. I’m already sold on Sunraku’s unhinged gamer energy—dude treats games like war. Definitely hooked, keep watching.

First episode is so funny . Kicking the face of the npc is one of the peak of the game lol. Trying out the Worldwide god tier game is so fire

I guess it surprised me that one of the opening scenes ended up a typical morning at school when it opened with an interesting scene. The protagonist, Rakuro, has a unique thing about him where he specifically seeks bad games to play. His journey in handling a proper kamigame should prove to be interesting as he sounds like a unique experience seeker.

We are inroduced to one of the most unique gamer in anime. With top notch animation and choreography you can feel that this is gonna be a high adrenaline anime. The dialogues are clear and concise for easy understanding without becoming to boring.An anime for hardcore gamers.

Seeing sunraku skip the intro and jump straight into a high level area is the most gamer thing ive ever seen. Kudos to its creator i think they actually played mmo games seeing how they executed the first episode. very accurate 🔥🔥

You start as a newbie in a game but the experience you have on other game makes you strong as hell. what a great way to start in a new adventure nevertheless animation is dope.

Seeing how his skills translated from trash games to Shangri La Frontier made me really want to see how they would continue to help him in the game.

Me gustó harto la animación, aunque siento que la premisa es una mezcla entre varias series. No diré que me atrapó al 100%, pero quiero seguir viendo el anime. Me dio risa que se dedicara a completar juegos basura y también que le pegara a la princesa del primer juego.

this is just like SAO but if they don't take itself seriously. the episode started with a kick on the face (literally) and sunraku's motivation as a gamer is baffling for all the chaotic reasons. if you like open world RPG, this anime is for you

Awesome show - more of a 'feel good' highly entertaining watch than an intense, high stakes story.

If you fell in love SAO then SHANGRI-LA_FRONTIER is the show for you. If you need a SAO fix look no further join Sunraku as he take on one of the greatest games of all time.

We follow gamer Sunraku who is obsessed with bad games, tries a good game for a change. Though it is almost like Sword Art Online, this anime is different due to how Sunraku uses his game knowledge to his advantage and going the unconventional way. Would recommend.

EPISODE CONTEXT

This episode is a must-watch to witness Sunraku's chaotic gamer energy and unique approach to a 'god-tier' game, starting with a memorable NPC kick.
