Shangri-La Frontier isn’t logging off anytime soon! Following the conclusion of the anime’s second season tonight in Japan, the series’ official website and accounts officially announced that a third season is in production. A release date is yet to be confirmed, but we have a new cheeky visual to enjoy in the meantime.
Shangri-La Frontier Season 3 Announcement Visual
Based on the manga by Ryosuke Fuji, Toshiyuki Kubooka (Handyman Saitou in Another World) directs Shangri-La Frontier at studio C2C, with series composition by Kazuyuki Fudeyasu (That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime), character designs by Ayumi Kurashima (Devilman Crybaby) and music by MONACA (NieR:Automata Ver1.1a).
Crunchyroll streams the anime and describes the story:
“When was the last time I played a game that wasn’t crap?” This is a world in the near future where games that use display screens are classified as retro. Anything that can’t keep up with state-of-the-art VR technology is called a “crap game,” and you see a large number of crap games coming out. Those who devote their lives to clearing these games are called “crap-game hunters,” and Rakuro Hizutome is one of them. The game he’s chosen to tackle next is Shangri-La Frontier, a “god-tier game” that has a total of thirty million players. Online friends… An expansive world… Encounters with rivals… These are changing Rakuro and all the other players’ fates! The best game adventure tale by the strongest “crap game” player begins now!
