What is Shangri-La Frontier about?
In Shangri-La Frontier, Rakuro Hizutome, a gamer known for his love of trash games, dives into a virtual reality world that is the polar opposite — the titular masterfully crafted MMORPG. As a veteran of poorly designed games, Sunraku (Rakuro’s in-game name) approaches this high-quality game with a unique perspective, applying his skills honed in buggy, unbalanced games to the intricately designed world of Shangri-La Frontier.
The first season of the anime aired from October 2023 to March 2024. If you have forgotten some of the details, you can read through the comprehensive recap of Season 1’s important plot points. In brief, the second season will likely see Wolfgang’s expansion and future activities, including taking on the remaining Colossi.
The second season is available for streaming on a number of streaming platforms, including Crunchyroll and Netflix. However, availability may vary depending on region.
