I watched Shangri-La Frontier. Pretty disappointing show, all in all. The premise is moderately interesting (guy who plays lots of bad games uses his skills to be good at a good game), but it really doesn't make any sense. How does being good at taking advantage of glitches and adjusting to bad systems make you good at a good game? Why is no one who's been playing this good game for a year any good at it? It feels like there's lots of contrivances just because the author wants the MC to be the best ever. I think it would've been more interesting to just have him play trash games for the whole show. The other characters are more enjoyable, particularly Arthur who's a lot of fun, but they don't get that much focus. The show felt pretty slow paced too, with oodles of bad exposition and repetitive dialogue. The main highlight is the action. It's consistently well animated and every single fight looks good. It doesn't have standout sequences that blew me away, but damn I wish some shows with stories/characters I liked had animation this good.
