Shangri-La Frontier Season 2 Roars to Life With New Trailer: Watch

Shangri-La Frontier Season 2 Roars to Life With New Trailer: Watch

As a seasoned anime enthusiast who has traversed countless virtual realms and digital landscapes, I eagerly anticipate the return of “Shangri-La Frontier” to our screens this fall. The first season captivated me with its dynamic action, compelling storyline, and a protagonist that embodies the spirit of every gamer out there – Rakuro Hizutome, the master of “trash games”.


In the upcoming season of “Shangri-La Frontier”, the pressure is minimal for Sunraku, but the series still manages to captivate audiences due to its thrilling action and compelling narrative. Although the first season concluded this year, Studio C2C swiftly announced that a second season was underway, and even more surprisingly, they revealed that the fresh episodes will be airing this fall. The highly anticipated second installment is set to debut on TV screens in October, offering fans another glance at the digital world that has swept the anime community off its feet.

If you haven’t yet watched the first season of “Shangri-La Frontier”, the show primarily revolves around its main character, Rakuro Hizutome. This young video game enthusiast has garnered recognition for his exceptional skills in playing so-called “trash games” – video games that are often overlooked by the public due to their poor reputation but contain glitches that Sunraku excels at exploiting. When Sunraku is given the opportunity to play the most popular game of the moment, the featured title “Shangri-La Frontier”, his mastery of these lesser-known games proves invaluable as he swiftly takes over the digital world.

Shangri-La Frontier Season 2 Details

Previously, Sunraku and his companions had achieved a feat deemed unattainable by many, earning them recognition across the digital world. In their battle against Wethermon The Tomb Guard, one of Shangri-La Frontier’s most formidable bosses, they have now become widely recognized figures in the massively multiplayer online role-playing game. Regrettably, this new level of fame was not something these gaming heroes sought out. As Sunraku continues to grow stronger, it can be expected that the antagonists of season two will prove even more formidable than those encountered in season one.

Is Shangri-La Frontier An Isekai?

In the realm of anime, the Isekai genre has expanded significantly over the past few years. Typically revolving around a character who finds themselves in another world equipped with extraordinary powers, often resulting from an unforeseen death or accident, Shangri-La Frontier incorporates many aspects that resonate with this genre. However, unlike traditional Isekai stories, the anime version of the series doesn’t meet the criteria because Sunraku is merely playing a game without any real consequences at stake.

Conversely, a show such as Sword Art Online, where the protagonist Kirito finds himself stuck within a video game that poses a risk to his life, falls under the category of Isekai. This anime depicts Kirito and other characters being forced into a virtual world from which they cannot escape, spending considerable time trying to do so. The high-stakes nature of this series contrasts sharply with Shangri-La Frontier, in which Sunraku and his companions have the freedom to log out whenever they choose.

Shangri-La Frontier Returns in a Stuffed Anime Season

This fall season is set to be one of the most significant in recent years for anime, as several popular franchises are coming back. For instance, “Dragon Ball” will be returning to our TV screens with “Dragon Ball Daima,” and “Bleach” will release its third installment of its latest revival, titled “Bleach: The Thousand-Year Blood War.” Apart from these two notable titles, fans can also look forward to the comeback of “Blue Lock,” “Re:Zero,” “Sword Art Online: Gun Gale Online,” and “Rurouni Kenshin.

In the world of fresh anime releases, enthusiasts are in for a treat with upcoming shows like “Uzumaki” from Adult Swim, “Dandadan”, and the return of “Ranma 1/2”. The fall season will also welcome several other newcomers. Clearly, it’s an exciting era to be an anime fan, especially if you’re a fan of “Shangri-La Frontier”.
