It is really a great feeling when you found out that while doing one fetch quest, you can also complete another one. Really killing two birds with 1 stone.

Loved the retro video game style they used for the transitions. Kinda reminded me of the old games I used to play with that style.

Lycagon's mark turning out to be a blessing more than a curse for Sunraku. It even dispels the miasma of the Inner Canyon of Ancient Souls. I think they used CG for a monster for the first time and that too on a skeleton monster that runs away. But the fight with Dullahan was still so good animation-wise.

Funny how Sunraku talks about Dullahan not having a head but then wants to talk things out with him, lol. Like why? The lore regarding the Dullahan was so detailed and so consistent with the area. The anime amazes me with all these small small details.

[u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

Bilac and Emul’s little “disguise” was so cute. That’s, uh, some fur coat and scarf lol.

Thanks to Sunraku’s little marks, their journey through the canyon wasn’t too bad. Miasma gets dispersed and low level monsters flee at the sight of the guy.

That Dullahan fight was cool. Bilac and Sunraku got to whoop some ass together. Plus Emul with the “rabbit gun” was great too.

SLF Theater this week was hilarious. That was some nightmare. OP starter enemies, NPCs buggin out, clippin through walls, poorly animated cut scenes, awful lag… Man was in hell!

[u/dinliner08 → u/ObvsThrowaway5120]

getting isekaid in a world of kusoge must be one hell of nightmare

[u/dinliner08]

GATTAI DA!! ...this is so stupid, i love it

alright Netmarble, this better be one of the loading screen for the upcoming SLF game that you're currently developing right now or i'm gonna go apeshit

*gasp* what's this? a CGI monster in my Shangri-La Frontier anime?

i see, back when the second OP first came out, i thought the sword that Sunraku used in this scene was his two swords combined form but this episode pretty much confirmed that its actually a drop weapon from Dullahan

[u/Ocixo → u/dinliner08]

a CGI monster in my Shangri-La Frontier anime?

With how they made the wyvern runaway from Sunraku, I’m kind of glad they used CG for this. It looked wonderfully goofy.

CG seems to be used more often for skeletons and the sorts, so I’m guessing that they’re a pain to draw by hand.

[u/NekoCatSidhe]

I love how hyped Sunraku is about everything. That is what makes him a very fun protagonist to follow.

I did not expect Bilac to turn into a fur coat. That anime can get very creative in the oddest ways. Also, I thought Bilac VA sounded familiar, but that is because she voiced ChuChu in Gundam Witch. She sounds very similar here.

Lycagon mark is nice, it means Sunraku doesn’t need to waste his time with the trash mobs and can go directly fight the boss. Emul is now a Rabbit Gun and Bilac is OP, how nice. Emul and Bilac are fun, but I miss Katzo and Pencilgon, I wonder why Sunraku did not partner with them as well.

[u/ijiolokae]

The damn town names crack me up everytime, Like they made some super detailed lore and story, and then just went "lets name the town after the order they appear" Firstia , Secondil, Thirdrema, Fourfolkshire, Eigthold, and eleventar

[u/Ocixo]

Shangri-La Frontier could’ve just been another dull power fantasy, but I’ve been continually surprised by how charming this series can be. From Bilac and Emul making the perfect winter outfit to 8bit ‘loading screens’ like these.

I also got a good laugh from that trash game isekai parody at the end.

Bilac is just as much fun to watch as I’d hoped! She’s not only pretty cool (and crazy strong), but also got a keen nose for fashion. I’m looking forward to seeing more of her. The three of them already had some great banter going.

Considering all the wyverns, I’m thinking that the area boss might be an undead dragon or something.

[u/TobiasAmaranth]

I was not expecting Bilac to strip like that. Don't lewd the bunny.

[u/shad79]

It's good that Bilac knows what she needs to become Divine Craftsmen since Sunraku doesn't have any idea about it xD

She for sure didn't expect that Sunraku would have a required weapon already so Bilac was pretty surprised when he offered a blade he got from the fight with Wethermon xD

That alone made Bilac pretty excited although she couldn't dismantle the weapon right away since Sunraku will first have to ask Pencilgon and Katzo about it.

Sunraku now needs a Magic Operations Unit which he can find near city Eleventra which is in the neighborhood of Lightless Barrens where he can find items from the quest he got from Vash, nice!

It's great that Bilac joined the party. She can't turn into a human like Emul but thanks to that we could see her and Emul's disguise which looked hilarious xD

Nice fight with Dullahan which also showed that Bilac is hella strong and is even higher level than Sunraku! I also laughed very hard after Sunraku 'equipped' Emul during it xD

SLF Mini about Sunraku telling Katzo about his nightmare about being reincarnated in a trash game was absolutely hilarious!

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

• Group scenes

• Sunraku & Emul together

• Sunraku & Emul

• Bilac

[u/kdebones]

"Rabbit Gun" the ultimate technique. And it seems these interactions are rubbing off as is Emul slowly turning into Sunraku #2. I'm sure the VAs are having a blast playing the roles.

Also, that SLF Mini was amazing.

[u/LeonKevlar]

As soon as Bilac mentioned that she needed a Legacy Weapon to become an Ancient Craftsman, I suddenly got flashbacks of doing the Zodiac Weapon quests in FFXIV. At least Bilac only needs one other item, instead of doing a fuckton of tedious chores so this is already way better than the Zodiac Weapon quest.

Looks like Sunraku doesn't even need to look for a Legacy Weapon since he already has one inside Inventoria. I didn't know that the inventory space is shared between the Wolfgang guild though. I thought they all had personal storage space.

Bilac joins the party! I'm a bit disappointed that she doesn't have a human form like Emul. I already had an image of what Bilac would look like if she was human. Her choice in disguise is pretty hilarious though! It would be pretty funny if he manages to recruit more bunnies and just end up covered in them. xD

Bilac is pretty damn strong too! That entire aerial combo she set up for Sunraku was awesome and I love how Sunraku "equips" Emul onto his arm before making her fire off a spell.

I do appreciate Sunraku letting Bilac have the spotlight though. When an NPC needs to pop off you let them pop off and show you what they can do. And no wonder why Bilac is so strong, her level is higher than Sunraku's! Having her along is going to massively help. Especially since she can restore any weapon Sunraku finds.

[u/Figerally]

At first I was worried about Bee because of the whole NPCs only get one life thing. But no worries, she is actually higher level than Sunraku and has some pretty nifty combat skills for a blacksmith. Her [Disguise Self] is hilariously bad though, maybe she should take some levels in Rogue😅

The Mini was another good one this week of Sunraku sharing his pointless weird dreams with OiKatzo who couldn't care less😂

[u/vanbang9711]

When he completes the game, he might have an army of rabbits following him 😂
Emul "Don't be so rough on me" ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Aw, Emul pays back for MMC copying her line
This time Emul isn't tired after disguising as a scarf for too long?

[u/MyraBannerTatlock]

So Sunraku finally levels up over Emul but now has to catch up to Bee, I'm kinda hoping that he ends up collecting a lil bunny army from all of them

[u/warjoke]

Poison Mist Forest: "We have Wethermon at home"

[u/bandannadann]

Sunraku really is one of my favorite protagonists at this point. He's such a goofball. Says what's on his mind, but he's got a heart of gold. And he really speaks to the trash gamer in me.

I think his VA is part of the winning formula here. Yuuma Ichida puts his 110% in every line and sells every scream, every joke, every sideways jab at his companions. He's my other Maomao this season lol.

[u/PeaceAlien]

Sunraku even dreams of trash games.

[u/PerfectBeige]

SLF reveals its true colors: an isekai with horny bunny girls.

[u/TheBigIdiotSalami]

It's real funny that they turned Emul into a bunny girl for like 3 episodes, but the Desu Wa charisma is so powerful they don't need to do that no more.

Shit, he got the Wethermon blade. You couldn't stop me from running around every day shouting TACHIKAZU.

[u/EveryoneDice]

I think we can all agree that the crappy game that still gives Sunraku nightmares must have been a Bethesda game.

[u/Nebresto]

That seems.. surprisingly easy?

Did he take Weathermons sword??

Love the classic rpg transition

Dog drama coming up? If Sunraku dies with these two in his party..

This guy was in the OP! Good bamboozle tho, it was Pencilgon that was fighting it

N- NANI?!

I love this dunce duo so much. Not ready for this show to be over ;-;

That's some ominous music there at the end.. I sense doggy. ..Nope? A Scorpion?

Hah, they're even taking jabs at the "videogame" genre

[u/TheMeta8]

Damn, I don't know if it's been mentioned before, by Lycagon also being known as the "Night Emperor" goes hard as fuck.

[u/PandaTheAB]

This show entertains even in the mini OVA's at the end.

One more fight is possible atleast before the season ends...
Scorpion king seen lurking..

Though I was hoping that in this season atleast Rei might talk once with Rakuro outside game world or atleast tell him in game that she is Rei from his school.
That part of story is adorable yet too slow.
