“Shangri-La Frontier” where video games and reality blur, as its creators announce plans for a third season! Fresh off the heels of its second season, this acclaimed anime adaptation of Ryousuke Fuji’s manga promises more adventures starring our intrepid protagonist, Rakurou Hizutome.
Since debuting in July 2020, “Shangri-La Frontier” has become a sensation among anime enthusiasts worldwide. However, despite its popularity in Japan, the series finds itself categorised as an “Isekai,” or fantasy-escapist, title. Yet, the news of a continuation is always music to fans’ ears, especially when it comes so soon after the anime’s conclusion.
But how long must we wait before diving back into Rakurou’s digital misadventures? The production team has yet to announce a premiere date for season three, but with the swiftness of the recent announcement, it seems they will keep their crew mostly intact.
