About the Shangri-La Frontier series:
"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!
Toshiyuki Kubooka is the film's director, and C2C produced the animation for Shangri-La Frontier. Beginning in October 2023, the series will air in Japan. It will also be streamed on Crunchyroll. Katarina is the author of the original Shangri-La Frontier web novel, and Kodansha USA also sells an English-language manga translation with illustrations by Ryosuke Fuji.
