 lol his voice really catch me off guard After epic battle this end with prologue for season 2 see you guys there |
| Bilac's got an admirer lol hilarious but what will Sunraku decide: will he accept the offer or not? and what does Pencilgon and Okatzu wanted to talk to him about? i guess we'll find the answers in the second season later this year... |
       |
| What a pleasant surprise this show was! Thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish. |
| Good show, but not really my thing. Solid production quality, and the Wethermon (ik I spelled that wrong somehow) fight went hard. Not really any story to it, which made it hard to watch for me personally, but it's not really needed if you know what you're getting into: just a guy and some friends playing a really damn good game. And that's all you need; to just have it saturday-afternoon-cartoon-style to sit back and unwind to. It's been 24 episodes of consistent quality, and the next season is already not that far off; that's kind of impressive to say the least. Speaking of season 2, probably won't be watching it myself. But for those most of you who did enjoy this first season, you'll probably enjoy the next just as much if not more. |
  NYANPASU  whiskey tango foxtrot |
| Do they seriously want us to ship a shorty tomboy rabbit and a Dumas cat cosplayer? That could actually be an interesting dynamic, but they're a rabbit and a cat with a big difference in height, lmao. |
 |
| Well, looks like the bunnies are better than the cats. Pretty nice show, I'm interested for season 2. |
| What the...? That cute pink-haired Mahou Shoujo from the OP is voiced by Nakata Jouji? Freaking Kotomine Kirei from Fate?! LMAO! Pretty laid-back episode to conclude this first season. Aramis's character was introduced and I already love the dynamic he shares with Bilac. He kinda reminds me of Pepe Le Pew but less horny lol. Really cool show overall. Very clear regarding what it wanted to be and as result, the final product ended up being a truly enjoyable experience for me. Cast was likeable, there were some really nice character designs and visuals remained surprisingly consistent throughout the whole show. Not to mention the high-quality animation during most of the fights, with Wethermon being the highlight. Seriously, Sunraku's journey has been such an entertaining one and the news of a second season coming this soon only make me feel more eager to see him and co. again. 8/10 - See you all in October. |
| This show really dragged on after the Wethermon fight ended. Bizarre decision to have the MC just dicking about with NPCs after the tease of the world changing. |
| Bye-bye to the season with a new character with a peculiar voice!!! Caith Sith, another race of this world!!! Waiting the second season!!! kekeke |
| I am not ready for that deep old man voice for a cute magical girl LMAO Season 2 confirmed again on Fall 2024!! Let's go!! another 2 consecutive cour too!! Overall Very Good 8/10 imo I'm gonna missed their shenanigans. |
 |
| The ending really made me want a s2. Loved mostly everything about the series minus the mcs quiet stalker romantic interest. I did like her in game form though. A 10/10 from me. The manly mahou shoujo was comedy gold. |
 |
| The world and story of this anime are intriguing, but holy shit are the side characters unbearably annoying. The prospect of the insufferable cat character tagging along for the next journey is a real turn-off. It's also strange that the last two episodes of this season were essentially filler. I'll still be checking out Season 2, but my expectations aren't super high. |
 |
| That loli dude caught me off guard lmao. Last few episodes were full of that sweaty grind and now that it picks up again... onto next season!! Happy that it's more 25 episodes of fun though. |
| Well... that's it guys, I am going to try and main a Pink Hair Loli in every game I play. LOL . Also... guess NPC's also got NPC stalkers too huh... And it's a Cat x Bunny combo... hmm... With that, Sun's got another powerful NPC group (the Catz) . The Pink hair girl turns out to be the "LORE" group. Possibly the same guys that do game guides. Feels like Sun should actually befriend them, but also ask them to keep some stuff hidden cause it'll jeopardize Sun's current "special event line" . LOL @ the SLF theater, haha, poor Sun gets send to get bunch of stuff by B-nee-chan. |
| Nothing Written Here But Us Anime Bunnies *boing boing boing* |
| A great production with a high-quality run. Looking forward to the second season with its 2 cours! |
 |
| This anime surprised me, it's actually better than the overhyped Frieren. From story to comedy this top the another one. The fights especially Wethermon are really cool. The bunnies are cute and funny lol, I'm curious about Emul's 3rd sibling, hope they show in 2nd season. |
| Decent finale to what has been a fairly fun 2-cours of Shangri-La Frontier. God, the voice in the end there got me chuckling quite hard too, props if it's intentional. All that mystery about the "truth of the world", I wonder what that's all hinting about. Cat and Bilac-san's dynamic is hilarious, I would've love to see more of that, lol. I could tell they wanted to feature Psyger 0 somehow in this episode, lol, and I'm glad for that, even though it meant nothing really. Both banger Openings, hopefully we'll see them again in a few month's time. Reona's ED was a great song but felt a little too sad for the ED theme, it was perfect for the conclusion of the Weathermon battle, but that's just a small gripe from me. 7/10, looking forward to the next cour. |

| That cat is sure something lol, but if it can helps with the materials that's nice... now that professor with a deep voice but a little girl avatar was also unexpected but that's how you troll with your appearance in video games ahaha, I wonder how Sunraku will react to the invitation, since it can help him but he needs to be cautious.... can't wait for S2 to see the revenge against Lycaon, what a great anime overall |

And thus this stretched out nothingburger of gaming sham finally gets to an end. It could had easily fit in just 13 episodes taking out all the padding and worthless infodumping or plain blabbermouthing scenes
Shame that so much effort was invested in animation and voice acting in a hollow and souless show with cardboard cutout characters. Take a look at GunGale Onine as a good example of doing more than just the "gamur" experience, Lenn felt more like an actual character with more sides than just one smug act like Sunraku does, in fact her personality IRL was completely different and the online gaming part that allowed her to just unwind and reach out to people.
Characters like Rei had no purpose other than being doormart to inflate the neckbeard fantasy of a cute girl stalking a literal nobody that only plays videogames all day and has zero personality or skills. Shame that Aramis joined until now, he's the legit only clown in this circus that made me laugh (that and Bilac that served the necessary role of a straightman)
This one gets a 3/10 in my books just for the animation effort.
Remember kids, good graphics don't make a videogame, and in the same way, good animation shouldn't be an excuse to cover for poor storytelling and poor character writing.

This thread is such an easy game of “Spot the Idiot”
@RynoSwagman  ROFL. The alt/bot accounts aren't even hidding they are shilling bots. |

| @Kimurah what? What language are you even trying to speak here? If anyone’s a bot it’s you lmao |
| Was not expecting that deep voice on Professor, really caught me off guard. Anyways, another reference to the truth of the world yet we still got nothing as far as lore goes. Especially these last few eps were somewhat weak with their focus on the game aspect. That said, was really enjoyable overall. Wethermon arc was definitely the highlight. Really hoping Sunraku accepts the friend request from Professor and there is more lore development next season. |
 |
| "yorokobe shounen" ass voice 😭😭😭 I did not expect that at all lmao Can't wait to watch season 2 |

| The visuals are obviously really nice, and I did appreciate how it just stayed a VRMMO show and explored the idea pretty straightforwardly. I didn't really have an issue with the non-ending, considering the immediate sequel announcement it shouldn't really be considered an ending in the first place I never felt the narrative was ever interesting though, so it cannot get much higher than a 5 or 6 in my book. The characters and premise might not work in a serious setting, so maybe it's just better this way |
| Mahou Shoujo with Alucard voice haha.🤣 |
 |
| This was a really good show. It had its ups, it had its moments where the story stalled, but the fights in it were solid. The ending itself did feel like it was going nowhere.. but I'm sure in a second installment we would get right back to fighting Lycagon. And since Sunraku eventually learned about the things that he intentionally skipped from Day 1, he has the upgraded skills to help move the story along. For him to be experiencing this unique story, it makes you wonder how many other unique scenarios there are for players to explore. Surely Sunraku's friends can find their own unique routes so they can have something to brag about. |

| I honestly started pretty lukewarm on this, after being interested in this series since the manga first started, then later on there were some things I liked like the rabbit boss, the Wethermon or w/e he was called fight and things that absolutely grated on me at times like how annoying the screeching of that lil rabbit could be and a few other minor annoyances. The SLF Theatre Mini's were often enjoyable at least. Unfortunately this series just about scraped a 7/10 for me, meaning it was good and I enjoyed it, but it was teetering on the edge of being a 5 or 6 (just average/okay for me). So I'd still be hesitant about who I'd recommend this to. A shame as I had higher hopes for it as a series. I enjoyed enough to continue to S2, but can't see a long ongoing commitment to watching this if it continues to drag out, I think the manga is still ongoing, so we'll see how the adaptation pans out. Will get to S2 once it's out eventually when I have the time, the first season being on Netflix defo helped me get through it much quicker than I likely would've otherwise. |
| I have a third testicle that gives me psychic powers |
| We finally got the pink hair girl that we saw in the opening and she's is nothing like how I imagined. The gap between the avatar and the old man voice was hilarious. |
