YMMV / Shangri-La Frontier

  • Accidental Innuendo: Any Italian-speaking person would struggle a bit with taking Oicazzo's nickname seriously, because 'cazzo' is a really vulgar way to say penis, and saying 'o cazzo' is analogous to saying 'oh fuck'.
  • Awesome Music: Both openings for the anime by FZMZ, "Broken Games" and "Danger Danger", get the blood pumping for the kind of challenge that Sunraku seeks.
  • Fan Nickname: Due to the main character going around with his head constantly covered, focusing on evading hits while not wearing armor, Dual Wielding weapons, and plans to fight a Unique Boss on his own, the series sometimes gets called Let Me Solo Her: The Anime.
  • Woolseyism:
    • When Sunraku witnesses another player get killed by the Clown Spider, he assumes a stereotypical prayer gesture. In the original Japanese he intones "namu", a Buddhist expression akin to "amen" in Christianitynote . In the English dub, this was replaced by a solemn "Fs in chat".
    • One of the other in-universe shitty games is Berserk Online Passion (ベルセルク・オンライン・パッション), officially abbreviated as ベンP (ben-P) but derisively known as 便秘 (benpi; constipation). The anime subtitles instead write the abbreviation as BOP and change the colloquial abbreviation to BERP (Berserk Online Passion) to maintain the bodily function joke.
