by

Summary

  • Season 3 of Shangri-La Frontier may be in production soon, according to rumors from an insider account.
  • Fans have expressed concerns about the content for a potential Season 3, speculating on possible outcomes.
  • Despite concerns, most fans are excited for potential sequels due to the great animation quality by Studio C2C.

It’s possible that Shangri-La Frontier could receive excellent news following the end of Season 2, given the strong indication that the anime will not be terminated anytime soon!

As a dedicated anime fan, I can’t help but be thrilled about the upcoming seasons – Fall 2024 and Winter 2025! While some series like Dandadan, Sakamoto Days, and Solo Leveling might grab more headlines, Shangri-La Frontier has a devoted following that eagerly awaits each new episode. It may not be as widely known, but it’s a hidden gem worth checking out!

Based on buzz I’ve picked up, it seems like the green light has been given for Season 3! If all goes as planned, we can expect production to kick off shortly. The scoop comes from Sugoi LITE, a go-to source for behind-the-scenes info and leaks. So, fingers crossed, but it looks like this news is the real deal!

If what’s being whispered is true, it seems quite probable that the confirmation for the next season will follow immediately after the Season 2 finale concludes.

Fan Reaction to the Rumors

Once the announcement was made, some enthusiasts began voicing worries about whether there would be sufficient material for a potential Season 3.

Here are several scenarios to consider:

1. To date, every season has consisted of 25 episodes. However, there’s a chance that the upcoming third season may have fewer episodes.

2. Another possibility is that the new season could indeed be confirmed, but it might not air until as late as 2026 or beyond.

3. Lastly, given the nature of these leaks, it’s possible that what we’re seeing isn’t a traditional new season, but rather a sequel in another format, such as a film.

Regardless of any apprehensions, most of them appear content because the animation quality has been outstanding and there’s little indication that Studio C2C plans to lower it in future installments.

What Is Shangri-La Frontier About?

Originally, the “Shangri-La Frontier” series was self-published online under the pseudonym Katarina on the platform Shosetsuka ni Narou, and it has been serializing since 2017.

Kodansha gained permission to produce a comic book version (manga), originally serialized on a weekly basis in Shonen Magazine starting from 2020, crafted by Ryosuke Fuji. In Japan, a total of 20 volumes have been published so far.

The story unfolds in a future not too far off, where virtual reality (VR) gaming has become the norm, pushing traditional games to the realm of nostalgia. In this context, VR games are the new kids on the block while non-VR games are considered “retro”. With the rapid advancement of VR technology, an abundance of low-quality, buggy, and poorly designed games flood the market. Yet, Rakuro Hizutome, who goes by the nickname Sunraku, has a peculiar taste for these subpar VR games.

Here, Hizutome purchases the game titled “Shangri-La Frontier”. Remarkably, his abilities as an underdog or casual gamer propel him forward within this game.

Shangri-La Frontier is available to stream on Crunchyroll, subbed and dubbed.
