00:00For a little manga review, an anime that I'm going to recommend to you, because I fell into it like crazy, I can't put it down, I devoured both seasons in less than a month, it's Shangri-La Frontière.
00:14What is Shangri-La Frontière? It's a literary series released on March 31st, but on July 15, 2020, in Weekly Shonen, written by Katarina and illustrated by Fuji Ryosuke.
00:30It's available on Notillion and Crunchyroll, and all the sites you usually watch, and the basic plot is hilarious, it's brilliant, it's very stupid, it's very stupid.
00:44He's a kid who's a fan of virtual reality, so okay, I'm not being objective, but there you go, he uses this kind of virtual reality headset to play his favorite video games,
00:53and his thing is not playing good games, in fact he is at the height of great fun, like, oh, I finally finished my game and everything,
01:02he is considered mentally ill, really like a pervert of video games which are crap, he likes all the games which are bad,
01:09he likes difficult things, he likes buggy things, he likes things that don't make sense, and he does just that.
01:16And he's divinely good at it, actually. Then one day, he goes to see his salesgirl at Escromania, and she's like, yeah, yeah, that's cool and everything,
01:24you're having fun, but hey, wouldn't you like to try a good game for once. It's there, there's that, there, it's a hit, it's on sale,
01:31It's called Shangri-La Frontier, it's an MMORPG, give it a chance.
01:36Fuck, yeah, I don't know, okay, go on, send your cam, I'll test it.
01:40He tests, and what does he do? Like any good player, he skips the tutorial, he skips the explanations, he skips everything.
01:51He passes by, he doesn't read the how to play the game, etc. He just goes straight to the second town, instead of doing the tutorial town,
01:58and he will find himself facing one of the 7 legendary and unique monsters of the world, who will literally beat him up.
02:09And put a cursed mark on him, which will prevent him from putting on equipment.
02:16And so, from there, he will decide to hunt him down.
02:20It's not a shonen, it has slight shonen constructions, but it has nothing to do with a shonen.
02:27It's kind of a Konosuba kind of crazy, if you know.
02:32It's really, in fact, the world is coherent, there are very intelligent things in the way the video game is thought out and the universe is thought out.
02:39But resolutions are often very stupid.
02:42Very stupid, and it's...
02:44I'll try to give fake examples, so as not to spoil it for you, but it's going to be...
02:50Let's say he has, I don't know, a bonus of...
02:54Let's say, here, I'm making something up, but it has to cross a canyon.
02:57Everyone's going to do it by jumping, using a double jump, something like that.
03:03Well, he'll find a way to...
03:06Maybe, I don't know, throw some flowers to cushion the fall a little.
03:10And he will throw himself against all the walls to bounce back and do as little damage as possible.
03:14And then he'll come to the ground, he won't move for 20 minutes, you know.
03:18He's that kind of moron.
03:19And it's...
03:21It's hilarious.
03:23It's to die for.
03:23Really, I highly recommend it, I hope you enjoy it.
03:27And you, what do you advise me?
03:30What can I watch here?
03:32Can you recommend an anime?
03:35I binge-watch it.
03:36I eat everything.
03:37Manga or anime.
03:39And like that, I'll tell you what I thought about it.
03:41However, I'm warning you.
03:43There is a way I can destroy it.
03:44Because I have some hot takes.
03:46Especially on a little Demon Slayer Attack on Titans.
03:49If I don't like it, I'll be honest.
03:53But on the other hand, you shouldn't blame me.
03:58Oh no!
