Manga Talk: Shangri-la Frontier Manga 1-91 · Dad Needs To Talk

• 0:05
  What's up y'all? And welcome back to Danny's to
• 0:08
  talk. I'm hush robber.
• 0:09
  And today we're going to be talking about some Shangri-La
• 0:14
  Frontier now Shangri-La Frontier. it is a series that
• 0:21
  I've seen going around the internet for a little while
• 0:23
  because when you have cover art and a main character that looks
• 0:29
  like this guy with kind of like a bluebird head holding twin
• 0:33
  daggers That's going to stick in your mind.
• 0:37
  Well recently this series got an ounce for anime, which we'll
• 0:43
  talk about later in the video but I decided to go ahead and
• 0:48
  give it a shot so Shangri-La Frontier it is published in
• 0:54
  Shonen magazine and as of today it is currently at 91 chapters.
• 1:01
  So funny thing about Me and this series and me recording, this is
• 1:06
  that I had did an initial recording of me reading the
• 1:10
  first 51 chapters and then I was going to maybe do something else
• 1:13
  later on. Well, Between me recording that
• 1:18
  and now they officially not, not only officially announced the
• 1:23
  anime but they also gave us an actual trailer for it.
• 1:26
  And so I was like, you know what, my last video or the
• 1:30
  previous one is kind of had some like like irrelevant information
• 1:33
  or somebody you know what let's just scrap it and just do it
• 1:36
  again. But anyway Shangri-La Frontier
• 1:40
  for those who do not know it is a series that I was a main
• 1:47
  character who is known for playing bad games and so those
• 1:57
  are other the see the video or see the a majority of her.
• 2:00
  Or maybe if you follow me on Twitter, y'all saw me tweeting
• 2:02
  about it but our main character AKA son rocku is his online
• 2:10
  name. So he is known for playing crap.
• 2:16
  He games and I mean like like games that are broken buggy,
• 2:23
  glitchy, all that stuff, as he kind of Prides himself on
• 2:28
  playing these garbage games but conquering them and beating
• 2:32
  them. Well one day he decides to give
• 2:35
  a kind of like a bigger mainstream title game called
• 2:39
  Shangri-La Frontier. Now majority of games date that
• 2:42
  they cover in the series, they are like a VR game.
• 2:45
  So kind of think of it, kind of like a Our online situation -
• 2:48
  the dying - the real life death. If you die in the game because
• 2:56
  this series you kind of see the characters kind of going in and
• 2:58
  out of the game and stuff. But by so that that's kind of
• 3:02
  the the basic setup of it. But the thing that I like really
• 3:05
  love about Shangri-La Frontier because I feel like anybody that
• 3:11
  is a gamer and of any sort of fashion you're going to
• 3:17
  immediately fall in love with this with this series because it
• 3:21
  the the art and stuff of it looks really dope.
• 3:24
  The characters are really fun and the lore and World building
• 3:30
  of the game that they're in is some of my recent favorite
• 3:36
  because I would kind of describe the game of Shangri-La Frontier
• 3:41
  that they're in it. Like I said it like for my like
• 3:45
  the VR thing whatever kind of reminds me.
• 3:46
  Little bit of solder online and also heard, but in my house or
• 3:51
  throwing a Log Horizon, so think of those kind of things.
• 3:57
  But then like, I honestly would say it kind of has some touches
• 4:02
  of kind of maybe like if you've ever played any of like the Dark
• 4:05
  Souls type of games, as well, as maybe have also read some of the
• 4:09
  leveling because In this game. So when he kind of gets started
• 4:17
  with the game or whatever it goes through, all the general,
• 4:22
  typical things of a kind of, like, I've like a role-playing
• 4:25
  game. So you start with the character
• 4:27
  customization you get to pick all your different skills and
• 4:30
  perks and weapons your character backstory and all that stuff.
• 4:35
  And so that's kind of what leads to him having the just either
• 4:40
  the bird head or whatever. Because Kind of like, do those
• 4:44
  you out there, you know, have no of people within like the Dark
• 4:47
  Souls Community stuff forever. Is that sometimes I like to go
• 4:50
  into the game with minimum equipment, just for the sake of
• 4:54
  the challenge, and that's what he does.
• 4:57
  He just gets the bird head, maybe like a little like a belt
• 5:00
  thing or whatever and he picks a twin daggers and because of his
• 5:08
  character backstory, he picked Wanderer, he just gets really
• 5:13
  Rental to be spawned Into the Wilderness between or like near
• 5:16
  the first town and that's his adventure begins.
• 5:20
  So he kind of is just going through fighting these different
• 5:25
  enemies and stuff of that. He's in countering and of course
• 5:27
  he's leveling up unlocking, new skill so on and so forth.
• 5:30
  Well, he eventually As his plan or whatever.
• 5:35
  Basically gets to a point to where he finds himself on the
• 5:38
  map closer to the second town. So he's thinking you know what,
• 5:42
  I don't need to go to the first town.
• 5:43
  I'll just fight the area boss and move on.
• 5:47
  Well, that thick-headed nest of his continues to bite him in the
• 5:52
  butt sometimes. And in funny ways because there
• 5:55
  are certain moments, I let her run in the series to wear when
• 5:59
  one of his buddies starts to play the game as well, because
• 6:02
  that so On this kind of color spread that I'm showing now on
• 6:08
  the video version, all these characters that you see up here.
• 6:13
  They are people. Some of them are friends, they
• 6:15
  have in real life. Some of them are just people
• 6:17
  friends that he's met through playing games over the years and
• 6:20
  they are, you know, they are kind of like Flow game to game
• 6:22
  together. Whatever.
• 6:23
  And so so that's how some of these characters got into this
• 6:27
  game was because they like, man, where, where, where is some
• 6:30
  rock? Ooh, banana like I haven't seen
• 6:32
  him all going to whatever. Her other game and - and that
• 6:36
  people are all. Yeah, I heard he's our husband,
• 6:37
  he's been playing slf or Snow short for Shangri-La Frontier.
• 6:42
  And so there are some moments to where, you know, his friends are
• 6:47
  like, all right. Hey, equip this or hey, let's go
• 6:50
  and no unlock of these skills and he's like, what are you
• 6:52
  talking about? And then come to find out, it's
• 6:55
  stuff that you learn at the beginning of the game in the
• 6:57
  first town that he missed, because he skipped that
• 7:00
  introductory area because he was the type of person Since we're,
• 7:04
  when the game first started, he just hit skip cutscene.
• 7:07
  So he skipped all the introductory Baxter and stuff on
• 7:10
  there just because he just wanted to get in and just to
• 7:13
  play. Now, like I said, I like
• 7:17
  throughout the throughout the series, whatever, like I said,
• 7:20
  it it really hits with like, the sense of wonder because of and
• 7:26
  it's kind of funny that I'm recording this now because
• 7:29
  because yesterday I was just, I just went back to playing a
• 7:32
  little bit of a horizon forbidden.
• 7:33
  On West and and I game as well as like I said, I like with the
• 7:39
  souls games and different stuff like that or whatever it is,
• 7:41
  that sense of the unknown and you running across new enemies,
• 7:47
  new creatures, or whatever. And you're like, oh, what is
• 7:49
  this thing? Let's figure out how to defeat
• 7:52
  it and that is just like one of like the joys of this series is
• 7:56
  like he's running to all these various creatures and he's got
• 8:00
  to learn OK, new tactics and new Ways to fight and stuff
• 8:05
  whatever. But probably one of the dopest
• 8:11
  aspects of this series, it's the freakin unique enemies.
• 8:19
  So the game of Shangri-La Frontier in the series, it has
• 8:23
  been out for a little over a year, maybe because the two
• 8:25
  years or so whatever. But there are I believe seven or
• 8:30
  eight of these like unique enemy.
• 8:33
  Knees that nobody has mentioned take down and people.
• 8:37
  They people have only actually like managed to even get the
• 8:40
  names or identify only two to three of the of the, of the
• 8:47
  seven or eight unique monsters. As so, pretty early on, in the
• 8:52
  series, Son Rock, who encounters shoot what?
• 8:58
  What is the name of this thing? It's basically, this kind of,
• 9:00
  like, giant freaking like Worf, I think I what is the car?
• 9:06
  I think, I think it's called like night Prowler Lucan liking
• 9:10
  something like that or whatever, but he Encounters this thing
• 9:14
  pretty early on and he has a unique encounter with it to
• 9:20
  where it basically starts on locking, you know, unique side
• 9:26
  quest and hidden areas and all this different stuff, whatever
• 9:30
  that he gained, just from having this encounter with it, It.
• 9:34
  And that's kind of like one of the joys and Mysteries of the
• 9:36
  series is like the people within the world.
• 9:40
  Trying to figure out. Okay, what exactly are the
• 9:43
  requirements to trigger? These creatures to spawn as.
• 9:50
  So there's even like a whole Guild and group, dedicated to
• 9:54
  trying to research and to like, collect all bits and pieces of
• 9:57
  information and lore within the world.
• 10:00
  And it's just like stuff like that is just so dope.
• 10:03
  But yeah, but So this Giant Shadow Wolf was the first one
• 10:06
  that they encountered as well as it's kind of like robotics a.
• 10:11
  I think I thought things called a Wise Wise a mine or something
• 10:14
  like that or whatever mad both of the fights like all of the
• 10:19
  fights in general, the series of dope but the fights and stuff
• 10:22
  against these characters were a whole nother level.
• 10:27
  But but and without and of course trying to give away
• 10:31
  sport, too much whatever. But letter on within the set of
• 10:36
  chapters that I read, it was like I said, just just the
• 10:41
  reoccurring theme of the mystery and you know, people wanted to
• 10:47
  get information and stuff like that, whatever because they see,
• 10:51
  you know, son Rock, who he gets marked with basic, like a curse
• 10:54
  mark from The Wharf because he doesn't beat it because like,
• 10:57
  it's like he encountered it, like, Within hours or what they
• 11:01
  like his first day of playing the game whatever it was just
• 11:03
  like a set of just different things.
• 11:06
  He did were various enemies that you're beating and weapons.
• 11:09
  He had acquired or whatever. Just cause this thing to spawn
• 11:14
  and as a way of it acknowledging his strength, it put a curse
• 11:18
  mark on him to where the downside.
• 11:21
  Is that because of the curse mark, he can no longer equip
• 11:24
  any, he can't equip gear on like his upper torso.
• 11:29
  His legs, his arms and stuff like that, or whatever.
• 11:32
  But the benefit of that is that any enemies that he encounters
• 11:38
  that his lower level, that him will automatically be stricken
• 11:41
  with fear. So kind of like stuff like that.
• 11:43
  It kind of, gives that kind of like, a give-and-take of things,
• 11:47
  but one of just like the most exciting aspects of it.
• 11:50
  It's just going along and seeing how everyone is just adjusting
• 11:57
  to these new things changing. And Even the atom is the people
• 12:00
  behind making the game, they're surprised because you know, it's
• 12:05
  like spoilers, but like little bit later on son, rocku and
• 12:09
  crew, some of his friends they end up taking down one of these
• 12:14
  unique monsters, but they weren't really supposed to
• 12:19
  because they the the enemies kind of like scale.
• 12:23
  And so story and lore wise, the one of they took down was like a
• 12:28
  mid to end game. Boss.
• 12:30
  They take down you know first and so it just caused a domino
• 12:37
  effect to where there's like a like an announcement once.
• 12:41
  The once the Beast Was Defeated to where it was like alright,
• 12:45
  hey the world story has now progressed and it's like yo what
• 12:49
  does that mean everybody in the world?
• 12:52
  All the people just been playing since day one for years or like
• 12:54
  we have no clue what this means, you know we have no clues about
• 12:57
  the change and then like I said, you have I have to admit people
• 13:00
  actually working on the game that are like, yo, who are
• 13:03
  these? People that managed to beat this
• 13:04
  thing and you know it's kind of messing up their plans.
• 13:08
  They had for rolling out the story or whatever but yeah, but
• 13:13
  just overall it is just a freaking fantastic.
• 13:16
  Read like I said, if you enjoy, if you enjoy gaming, if you
• 13:21
  enjoy series with dope action and really great world-building
• 13:27
  and stuff then Shangri-La Frontiers one, I highly
• 13:31
  recommend reading or also watching because like I
• 13:37
  mentioned They had a. They had announced.
• 13:46
  Whoops are trying to adjust a little bit.
• 13:48
  They had announced the anime for Shangri-La Frontier and it just
• 13:55
  looks so freaking fantastic. Just like seeing so many
• 13:59
  moments, so many characters and stuff just brought to life.
• 14:09
  It just looks so freaking good. And if so whether like I said,
• 14:13
  where did y'all happen to come across in to read it?
• 14:17
  Oh and this rabbit here, his name is Vash loved it but but
• 14:22
  yeah but whether you decide to pick it up and read it now or
• 14:25
  you don't wait for the enemy to drop next year, whatever it is
• 14:28
  going to be a fantastic time. I can guarantee you that because
• 14:32
  like I said, just from what I read, alone is good but seeing
• 14:37
  even just a bit from this from this trailer because it's
• 14:40
  trailers like freaking four minutes long.
• 14:42
  So, of course, the trailer shows a lot of stuff, but But yeah, it
• 14:47
  is definitely one. Like I said that, I want y'all
• 14:50
  to put on y'all's radar as to be on the lookout for because like
• 14:56
  I said, is one that you will not want to miss but Shangri-La
• 15:02
  Frontier. Like I said, I have read all the
• 15:05
  current 91 chapters and it seems like I don't know why, but it
• 15:08
  seems like it might be on a slight break or hide or
• 15:11
  something, whatever, which sucks.
• 15:13
  But I am still glad that I managed to to to read it and to
• 15:18
  give it a chance for myself because like I said it has not
• 15:22
  disappointed in any sensitive any sense of the word and so
• 15:27
  yeah so yeah, so Shangri-La Frontier.
• 15:31
  Like I say y'all know I love finding stuff to put on yours
• 15:35
  radar. I will say also I think that
• 15:38
  they're that they're going to actually finally come out with
• 15:41
  the With the official English physical releases of Shangri-La,
• 15:47
  Frontier it come from that real quick.
• 15:51
  Okay, yeah, yeah. I just checked in the confirmed.
• 15:53
  Yeah. The volume is going to start
• 15:55
  releasing physically in English, and August so and then I think,
• 16:00
  I think we should maybe depending on how dates and stuff
• 16:02
  go, They're Gonna, they're going to have at least three volumes
• 16:05
  out by the end of this year 2022.
• 16:08
  But by at Shangri-La Frontier like I said, keep it on your
• 16:11
  right arm. Like I said, whether you Go
• 16:13
  online and read it now or you read it when the physicals drop
• 16:16
  in the coming months or you wait for the anime to come next year,
• 16:20
