Shangri-La Frontier's debut shows great promise.
Shangri-La Frontier is one of the newest anime to air in Fall 2023 on Crunchyroll, and it’s already off to an amazing start. The anime stars Rakuro Hizutome, a boy who makes a hobby out of playing notoriously terrible VRMMO games so he can master them despite their various flaws and glitches.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT There’s only one episode of Shangri-La Frontier out so far, but just from that, it’s shaping up to be a great addition to the Fall 2023 lineup. The basic premise of a VRMMO game might not be that unique after all this time, but the cast and overall presentation, at least from the series premiere, add a lot of life to it and help it stand out against its contemporaries.
Shangri-La Frontier Doesn’t Have Any Stakes, And That’s Why It’s Fun One of the biggest selling points for Shangri-La Frontier is that the show doesn’t appear to have any stakes to speak of. In VRMMO anime, most notably Sword Art Online, there’s usually some aspect of the game that presents a danger to people that the protagonist has to put a stop to, most often finding a way to save everyone after they become trapped in the game.
That idea of giving the series no real stakes works as well as it does, of course, thanks to Sunraku’s characterization. Sunraku is depicted as someone just looking to have a good time, no matter how much work he has to put into something to make it happen, something that would be harder to pull off in a more serious show than this one.
