Shangri La Frontier Thoughts
I've been watching Shangri La Frontier lately, and I'm enjoying it and all but I've gotta say, I'm surprised it got renewed for a second season. For some reason the art style has this weird quality about it that I can't put my finger on that's bothering me. Maybe it's the proportions of the faces or the shape of the eyes? The way everyone's lips are shiny? Does anyone else know what I'm talking about?
Other than that, the characters are likeable enough and there are some REALLY funny ongoing gags. It's one of those shows that you can just turn your brain off and not worry about any real stakes. There might some sinister overarching plotline, but I'm 18 episodes in and it hasn't revealed itself yet.
While I don't have any problems with any of the characters, I have to admit that I don't feel strongly about any of them either. I don't know the names of the humans who play the game (even Sunraku's player, and he's the main character?) and there's no fun chemistry between anyone that makes me want to ship them. I like Oikatzo the best and feel vague irritation when Psyger-0's player has her contrived romantic plotline going on, but other than that I don't have much to say. I don't love or hate anyone in the show yet and that kind of detracts from my enjoyment of the show. It lacks the emotional highs and lows of getting to see your favorite character show up and watching your least favorite character hog the screentime, you know what I mean?
At first I was really impressed with the opening bars of Opening 2 where the players are shown in shadow and their avatars light up on the screen behind them, but after transitioning to the titlecard, the animation and music become very cluttered. The blacksmithing scene was really good and the Sunraku-Pencilgon-Oikatzo antics are cute. The way one of the major battles gets resolved was kind of clever too. I don't care about the bunnies (besides the fact that their faces bother me more than the humans') but the monster designs are kind of interesting. It kind of reminds me of Maplestory. So far, I guess I'd recommend it but I also don't think you're missing out on much if you skip it. I'll see how the last seven episodes go though.

Almost done with season 1 and I'm sad we haven't seen more of Animalia
I was discussing this show with a friend of mine who's seen the whole thing and we both agreed that Psyger-0 gets way too much screentime for how little she's actually contributed to the plot. Her design isn't horribly interesting either, I would totally not complain if all her screentime was mysteriously and inexplicably transferred over to the funny Shaman girl
Me too, girl. Me too.

Striking juxtaposition: Above, Psyger-0 is expressing her unanticipated frustration at being displaced by a NEW GIRL as Sunraku's reliable helper. Below, Lycagon snarls her own frustration over the obstacle the NEW GIRL poses in combat.
Both are possessive of Sunraku. Psyger-0 has not as-of-yet informed Sunraku of her affections, but her first priority when Sunraku is seen with any other woman is to investigate their relationship; she has staked her claim. Lycagon has also staked her claim, cursing Sunraku with distinctive marking that informs other beasts that he is accounted for, nemesis-ways. Whichever way you turn, Sunraku's being hunted...
