Shangri-La Frontier: Kusoge Hunter, Kamige ni Idoman to su Episode 7 Discussion

@uchiha_yasso I have to rewatch the previous episode, but I think PKs have "bounties" that Pilgrims and NPCs can cash-in on. Pencilgon even mentions it as to why they wanna keep Sunraku out of Thirdrema. It's more than likely they'll get mobbed by everyone in town.

I don't really get why he's complaining about his "slow leveling" so much.

While the time for him to see a pay-off is increased the overall stat growth should still be faster than it would have been without the collar thanks to the increased EXP requirement for higher levels (e.g. effectively "doing the level 30->31 grind twice" should still be faster than going from level 30 to 32) and his increased stats should enable him to take on monters which other players in his level can't which ofc. further increases the growth speed of his character.

There is essentially no real downside to that item. What was the stat growth rate multiplier again? 2.5? That means that he should have the character stats of a level 100 character somewhere between level 50 and 60. Unless there is a better version of it somewhere else or similar items are rather easy to obtain it's really no stretch to say that this is one of the most OP items one can imagine as it puts everyone else at an inherent disadvantage.

All that buildup for the last 3 episodes to just solve it by using Psyger-0 as a trampoline and call it a day? What a scam.

For a show that allegedly works on agility tactics and pretty much real time blows, it awfully relies so often on large infodumps during the real action, such as Bestgirl throwing a long monologue on how her curse works, it feels more like a turn based RPG than an actual MMORPG. The author could have been more subtle and give her so time on the spotlight after the fight while she ponders on how her abilities work (that would also had served as proper background info about her).

A show with no stakes, no plotline, no character driven narrative that it's only praised for it's sakuga, it's now even reduced to being great in the 1 minute sakuga per episode that doesn't get padded with tons of worthless info (such as stalker girl repeating the same soliloqui) nor cheap animation recycling used as flashbacks/recaps.

For better or worse, SAO has left it's name in the anime world with several sequels and even spinoffs. This show won't be even remembered once it's over, specially seeing how each episode just gets worse and worse in terms of content.

@Kimurah SF might not get spin offs, or may not popularise whole genre, but evertime someone will ask for VRMMORPG anime recommendation this will be recommended as something that is much better along with Log Horizon and hopefull also still .Hack. Either way, I don't think being infamous for bland characters, lack any proper game mechanics and overall being thoroughly mid is something anyone would WANT to be remembered.

Nonetheless I was specifically referring lacking game design alone. I wasn't trying diss whole franchise (and I don't think GGO alternative deserve dissing anyway as it's actually pretty good, due being written by someone who actually knows what they are doing) until this post. It's you who me made launder dirty linen here and I hope it will stop right here too as nitpicking on boring shows is not something I enjoy.

@Tenzen12 How often do people ask for VRMMORPG recommendations? Like seriously, they are the least ones to get asked.

.Hack franchise is a great example of a show that looked way bigger than what it really was (smoke and mirrors from the defunct Bee Train studios) and nobody gives 2 rats about it these days.

Again, this show won't be remembered by general audiences once it's finished, just like .hack



This is a funny quote, because this is how Shangrila has been so far (minus the game mechanics, but that's something people in general don't care, specially over something more substancial like actual characterization or a bigger storyline.

@Kimurah Sure if you can fool yourself into really thinking so, good for you.

@Tenzen12

What do you mean fool myself? The tangible evidence that SAO has already had several sequels, and spinoffs with literally millions of people who already watched it and rated it is more than proof that SAO sells and IS STILL remembered years after. I don't even need to be a fan of SAO to point out this undoubtedly fact.

Heck, you didn't even address my legit question about how often are VRMMORPG recomendations being asked for. Or how .hack franchise is something that the modern average anime viewer has never even heard of.

For real, you probably would save face by not replying at all with this "nothing burger" kind of replies that address nothing but your blind fanboyism.

No, that's an unhealthy obsession. I mean if she’s this content after getting stepped on, think what would happen if she actually gets a chance to exchange words with invincible-kun.

Also, we know he would survive five minutes, so what's the suspense for?
