Shangri-La Frontier Season 2 of the anime has been officially announced for release this year in October 2024. The first season of the anime ran for 2 cours covering both the Fall 2023 and the Winter 2024 seasons but just as it aired its last episode last week, Shangri-La Frontier Season 2 release date was officially announced for later this year.
Shangri-La Frontier Season 2 Release Date & Time
Shangri-La Frontier Season 2 release date is sometime this October 2024 according to the latest official announcements. While we do not know the exact release date, we’re all glad it’s returning this year itself and we’ll keep you updated with all the latest info. This means Season 2 of the anime will likely drop exactly 1 year after Season 1 began last October.
The news especially comes as a surprise because, while the show wasn’t as popular as other masterpieces like Frieren or Solo Leveling which dominated charts and ratings, Shangri-La Season 1 was still a love letter to gamers and good quality sakuga action. The fight scenes against the monsters and even against the humanoids were extremely well-received and animated with hard lines, great choreography, and smooth transitions. The production value of Season 1 is high and a lot of fans are skeptical about it coming back this soon.
Why The Hype For Shangri-La Frontier Season 2
Katarina’s Shangri-La Frontier feels like a story written by and for gamers. After Sword Art Online and several other sub-par game-themed isekais and fantasies saturating the genre, it feels like we’re going back to the roots of classic chill wholesome interesting, and engaging gaming anime.
Season 1 of Shangri-La Frontier captured perfectly the fun of experiencing a good adventure fantasy RPG. The world is mysterious, the characters aren’t forced to play it, the action is smooth and impactful, and everything is vibrant and full of adventure.
Above all, the protagonist is not your typical overpowered good guy who hacks through the game. Sunraku is a trash-game addict. He has a rough personality and he loves fighting and carving out his own path. Shangri-La Frontier Season 2 thus can’t come any sooner.
