One thing I loved about this anime is just how fun it is. It’s not about having deep lore or anything like that, just a gamer having fun and I vibe with it so hard

As someone who read the manga the story knows its limitations while also being peak with breaks to over games

1. It has a story. 2. Most of the shonen that are popular are also "Battle Manga". And no the girl isn't pay to win, you can't pay to win in the game. She is just flatout strong since she became obsessed with the game.

I really like the proper gaming theme here - our dude reads gaming forums, wiki and so on, even changes games time to time. It's not just plain isekai where the game becomes reality. Here the game is just a game and is played just for fun by some dude :)

my favorite part about this anime is that there is lore but rakuro is a serial cutscene skipper.

Those werewolves in bloodborne are pretty easy, but they require the opposite tactic that the villagers need. Villagers attack in groups so you need to out range them and use wide sweeps or you'll get caught. The werewolves are extremely easy to stagger so you grab a fast weapon like the hunter's saw and attack as quickly as possible to interrupt them.

This anime is just so underrated this season, its wild.

Finally youtubers are starting to talk about this underrated piece of work

okay ngl, the no healthbar idea is really good. Gives the actual feeling of an intense battle instead of a bossfight within a game.

Highly recommend reading the manga, it doesn't confine itself just to one game but explores other games and genres which is epic, this is comic/anime equivalent of Runescape where you got no real objective you just vibe and go from quest to quest

6:31 they literally said in the anime that she is addicted to the game, she is part of a vary big guild, i don't think she is pay to win.

The reason the manga don't have story because we read MC POV. He skip the game plot, skip tutorial, skip beginner village. The manga is just MC being a gamer and that's all

GGC arc my beloved. I remember finding the manga back in 2019, and just speed running though the webnovel and pretty much feel in love with it. even made it into a full dnd campgain based around the concept and some of the mechanics

my favorite part of this anime is the intros. 'Broken games' and 'Danger danger' by FZMZ just go so hard for no reason

It actually has a story, lol. Further, there is a slow burn background story behind the surface one. I'm interested in seeing how it plays out.

You got me with "He isn't overpowered" That's all you had to say

As a manga reader who has yet to finish it but am more than half way. The story is honestly really interesting. And well not exactly the story of the anime itself but the game the anime focuses on, but I think that’s the point as the name of the game is literally the title. The story of the anime ig would be the main character trying his best to find all the secrets of shangri la frontier, and I genuinely love it. It reminds me so much of log horizen, SAO, and I think it’s name was gungar… probably wrong on that. It also reminds of gurren lagann my favorite anime. It is a genuinely good manga that i didn’t expect from winter 2023. It takes many great story points from those 4 and uses them greatly. From what I have currently read/watched(btw anime adaptation is fantastic) the series will definitely be in my top 20 maybe top 15. 9.2/10.

shangri-la should be called gaming:the anime, cause my man, everything is just perfect

Wtf!!!😂😂😂 The video ended too quickly Love the commentary♨️

ngl there’s a lot of action but I also love the parts of the story that the characters intentionally ignore so we can get more action, but also some parts of story are fun love Shangri-la

dang this actually looks so good! might watch! thank you for the good content man!

I like how the writer actually knows about video games, like meta and mechanics. The stakes being nonexistent but it keeps the audience engaged

Thank you my guy for this video, because I saw this anime pop up so many times, and I took a look at it so many times, but decided to not even start it. But I'm gonna give it a try now, and I feel like I'm gonna like it. 👍

i was using your vid as background sound for me playing hsr, never spitted out my drink as fast as now

i actually read the first few chapters like 2.5 years ago but only now found out it is an anime

Alright I'm back from reading the entire manga of this amazing piece of work. Thank you so much for making this video. Literally without this video I wouldn't have been able to find this amazing anime / manga. ❤ Keep up the great work bro

Dude I never laugh at these anime commentary type videos, but you did it lmao good job my man. Keep up the good work.

Something tells me someone played SaGa frontier back in the playstation one days and grew up to work in the anime industry.

I'm really enjoying SLF, the intro track is fire! Awesome video, pretty much covered what I thought about it haha. Keep up the amazing work!💯 Never played Blood Borne or any game with a similar play style. Hope they make a game as awesome as the anime.

Even seeing the manga, I am so excited to see the anime. It so fun and I look forward to seeing everything in action.

i laugh so hard with the dude smashing his head while working out that i'm out of breath, thank u for this moment

You said nothing is better than SAO and I subscribed.😁

Thanks to you karu, now im gonna watch this anime you got me interested

The guild wars footage 👀 We notice and appreciate that. Thanks Commander

That opening scene was all I needed to hear Karu😂. I'll be back when I'm caught up on the anime.

This reminds me of how am I addicted to video games eons of time ago, the strategies I would go if I fail the boss hunt, the things I would do to get that mythical weapon, the materials for upgrading my weapons and gears. These are just things that a gamer would think about everyday. Setting a goal everyday like what the mc is doing here.

I think that the story will come out, eventually. I like it very much, and I really cry out of joy when the Master Rabbit Smith prepared the weapons for the MC :)

Silver bullets make short work of where wolves, also staggers if hit during wind up

thanks for reminding me this one,i was watching it when there were just few episodes but I had to reinstall my windows and lost all my tabs

ok the intro was fire

I love the way you made the video .. plus the anime looks good, so I am gonna subscribe.. THANKS for the video

Bro I love you (#nohomo) i was searching for fighting anime because every newer anime has 3 episodes of fighting and 200 episodes of story so thank you ma man. hope you will be sending the same best quality content every time you post on ytb like the the evry other video

3:37 oh damn i just realized it does look like that legendary player :0

I get that SAO was a lot of people's first VR Game anime, but .HACK// will forever be #1 in my heart. Probably just because of nostalgia, but also that it started AS a game then became anime/manga. Also, Ah that Gw2 Necromancer Reaper gameplay clip.

there for sure is quite a bit of story so far in the manga

nice break down... appreciate the hard work

The cats at the beginning. xD

Will check it out ❤

I LOVE THE THE OPENING SONGS

Thanks for reminding me that GW2 exists and Necromancer was fun, btw

“Don’t be fooled by my charismatic commentary “got me😂

The thumbnail is so good 😂

there IS a story - the unique monsters, but it's just gaming. the only stakes within it are within the game. that, and the devs having to deal with Sunraku & co's shenanigans. but that story is really enough, that and whatever sidequests and diversions Sunraku & friends go on. Like there's an entire arc where him, Pencilgon, and Katzo compete in a televised gaming exhibition match for a superhero fighting game running on the same game engine as SLF. and it has the single best moment in the series to date. that part in the manga is going to take a while for the anime to get to, but given that season 2 was announced and confirmed for this Fall, we'll definitely get there.

can't wait for the GGC arc to be animated!!

Right when I got to the end of the few episodes that are out, I had to start reading the Manga. It's great.

As someone who plays too much games, this anime felt like a love letter to really good games, the whole time it reminded me of why I love games so much, it was really cool to see

hi. you may not see this comment ever but i really want say thank you from the bottom of my heart that you are alive and making this banger videos i really enjoy them i mean it. i owe you a lot thank you(i hope you see it cuz i want you to upload cosistently plz cuz i am rewatching the old ones again love you)

abit late to the party but the best way to deal with the werewolves in the bridge on bloodborne is to just run past them, ignore them and go straight into the boss fight thats past them.

I always loved Log Horizon, Im def finna check this out too. Also bloodbourne was 🔥🔥🔥

also bloodbourne so good bruh and those were wolves were vile

I think being able to see the hp of enemies is a divisive topic some like it some don't

I have really been digging this anime a lot. It’s a very good show in my opinion.

Underrated video tbh

"if you want solo leveling but better, this is it" also Solo Leveling anime closing in:

Wishing you luck on your blood born playthrough

I honestly love the way he jokes 😂❤ and the best part was when he fin8shed his video and immediately put on the ps4 set up and went aiit fuckers let's do this

Damn that gravity rush ost really hits hard

For some reason, I got some suicidal tendencies with Bloodborne too. Like I head STRAIGHT to the DLC area as soon as it was available. The number of deaths against even from other enimies' hunters was off the chart.

the entire weathermon fight is by hand and its insane

frrr I look forward to every sunday just bcs of this (and the 100 gf anime, which is surprisingly good.)

The fight scene,the music ❤

I really hope that in the future hyper immersive games like these exist. It would be so fun lol

I love the anime sm😭

The thumbnail reminds me of those baby dolls everyone’s sister had where if you accidentally crushed it’s face it’d slowly rise back into place.

I thank thee for thy recommendation.

Man I can't wait for the undead robot samurai to be animated

I didn't wanna watch the anime till I saw this vid, W commentary

4:06 hell yeah

Re: story. There is a story, and in true open world game fashion, he literally will just buzz off and do something completely unrelated right in the middle of the super tense plotline *chef'skiss*

Just you wait after you get past those wolves on the bridge in bloodborne...

The fight against wethermon was pretty epic

ok i actually downloaded honkai star rail cos of you lol this better be good!

4:50 - that osu clip will not go unnoticed

5:03 you say that as you are beating a poor barroth to death lmao

4:42 can someone tell me the name of this anime, I once watched it (never finished it) but forgot the name

It was a great season. Hope we get a season 2.

Dodge left when the werewolf rears back to attack. This will trivialize most werewolf fights. Also throw rocks to separate them.

thank you for the code

Best parts of the video: Werewolf hate Frog MVP As soon as I saw the PS logo I knew✨️🤣✨️

You make me want to try blood born

Beat them wolves for me bro, I couldn’t 💪🏾🔥

Yo when the 2nd season of tsukimichi airs in january, mind doing a review or smth on it? Its underrated isekai, alr I know that sounds.. bad but hear me out its actually fun and the female characters arent annoying and characters in general arent braindead and actually guess things.

Kuma kuma kuma bear is also like this but she actually transported to the game world forever

We getting bunny lore.

I will have to check it out- but if you really enjoyed the combination of low stakes and cool action- maybe check out Bofuri- the protagonist is OP, but its done in a comedic way, and once again low stakes, she stumbled into a cheesy build in a new game while trying to avoid getting hurt and keeps finding broken combos and niche powers and equipment, despite the devs trying to balance the game with her in mind. but then she turnes around and turns into a giant ball of wool because she is just having fun playing the game her own way. The fight scenes are cool, but its all a game in the end and everyone remembers that, which is highly refreshing. The way her quirky style inspires others is fun too, its implied in the next season that more players are trying to push the limits like she did and pull of their own nonsense.

It also had the most badass Blacksmithing scene in any anime

Going to watch this anime. Also, enjoy bloodborne. One of my all tiime favorites.

There are tons of cgi in the anime. The 2 clips you showed both had it, but it’s so well blended that you don’t see it. Actually great looking.

This dude is fun af, I feel like procastinating work watching this video was not a bad choice. you just made my day
