Shangri-La Frontier
| Seriously, 1/3 of an episode duration is just Intro, OP theme, recap, ED theme and omake aka not real content. The first 2 episodes were so great with nice pacing and animation, but it's become slogfest it's like every week is a whole 24 minutes of nothing. no progress, no nothing. Minor manga spoiler |

| Omake content doesn't really matter as the episodes are longer than a normal show, thus without the omake thing it would be the usual 23:40-~24m show, counting OP and ED. |

| @BetterBegoneThot the episode isn't longer than normal anime episode real content of an epsiode of shangrila frontier is only around 16 minutes / episode |

| come back when you actually read the manga properly. this pacing is actually too fast. |
GangsterCat said: @BetterBegoneThot the episode isn't longer than normal anime episode real content of an epsiode of shangrila frontier is only around 16 minutes / episode Let me correct myself: most of the episodes are 25-26m long (the ones listed as almost 24 I'm not sure if they skip OP, ED or omake, so I'm just ignoring them for now). OP and ED alone makes 3m in total, omake I'm pretty sure it's at much 1m and a half long, which makes the total episode length between ~20-22m. I haven't watched the show after E2 for simul reasons, but I'm 100% sure that there's no way you can get a 4m recap in an episode. Hell, not even MS shows such as Sailor Moon or PreCure can be cutted down to 15-16m even with the henshin+final attacks animations. |

| The pacing isn't bothering me because the whole point of the show is eviscerating the game, discovering every little detail, with no cheap thrills to raise the tension. |

| @BetterBegoneThot This week episode literally only truly started at 4 minute mark the episode ended when there's still 4 minutes 10 second left, that's for ED and omake In this week episode, we lost 8 minutes and 10 second for nothing. that's a huge waste of time. This week episode duration is 23 minutes 55 seconds, just like every other episode So, yes, 1/3 of a typical Shangri La Frontier episode is no-content padding |

| Try watching One Piece at Wano arc, maybe you would then stop complaining about things like this. |

Still a lot of fun though exactly. hell the mud shark thing took 3 or 4 chapters to beat and they did it in half an episode. |
| The problem isn't the pacing. If anything it's actually fast. The problem is the content, or rather the lack there of. It's just meaningless battle after meaningless battle and then the frustrating to watch omakes incorporated into the episode. There's no good content and that's why the pacing is fast, because if it wasn't this would be unwatchable. It took a bit of time for people to realize but better late than never, I guess. |
| There's an easier solution: wait until more of the show is out, then binge it. Clearly watching weekly isn't working for you. |
| I really want to like this anime but what's it for me is that the mc is a real idiot at times and quite stupid to watch at times. |

| I don't know if its a pacing issue or what, all I know is I was pretty high on this show for the first two episodes and every week I grow less and less interested. Sure it's got some nice animation at times but I can't help feeling bored by meaningless battle after meaningless battle. Also fire whoever decided to waste time on Omakes every episode. |

| @Dernus because NOTHING happened so far. everything feels like a padding filler fighting against random monsters. The overall pacing is also really slow, we really didn't need 2 episodes for Pencilgon PK ambush. I've read the manga and there are some interesting things, but the anime's gonna take forever until we reach those parts. |

| @karrotStick Ragna Crimson is great if you just want fast pace action anime! |
| Already 10 eps and Yeah its boring, they keep showing prolog every damn episode. Also each episode is just defeating some random monster without any meaning. He also solo player so we cant see any character development and coincidence all of his friends is god-tier player It's like watching some dude grinding games. |
| Youre only saying its slow cuz were watching it weekly. Dont worry I feel the same, thats why im stopping after episode 10 and waiting for it to fully air haha Some shows are better being watched weekly than others, for example Sousou no Frieren I feel is a show easier to watch weekly, while this one mostly ends on cliffhangers |
GoatPieceLuffy said: @GangsterCat You remind me of the One Piece haters who think slow pacing is bad. This anime is lit, plain and simple. To be fair One piece is pacing is actually terrible haha Theres lots of fan edits cuz of it, Im enjoying One Pace much more |
| Pacing is not really the issue. Guess you need to watch this on batch then to appreciate it more. No need to force watching it weekly. Its not healthy |

Each episode feels like its only 5 minutes. I rarely have an experience like that when watching anime. So im guessing its a perception issue on their end, possibly because they just dont enjoy this kind of show or story. If their immersion is broken because they dont like it, then it makes sense that it would become tedious to watch. |

| how many manga chapters are adapted per episode? kaiju 8 for example adapts 4 manga weekly chapters in most of its episode and the pacing of that anime is very good |
