This is no surprise given the expansive lore of the anime. Not just fans, the creator ofShangri-La,Katarina, also struggles with remembering some events from the story. Katarina shared what helps them the best when they can’t recall specific instances, and fans would relate to their answer!

Wikipedia isShangri-La Frontiercreator’s go-to site

Shangri-La Frontieranime is based on a web novel by Katarina. The anime has many elements like numerous characters, opponents, villains, and rules that can be difficult to keep track of. Duringan interview with Crunchyroll, the creator was asked about their process of memorizing all these details. They shared:

I don’t always remember (laughs), but the fans have created a website like Wikipedia with all the references to events in the universe, including things I said in interviews. And when I have a little memory lapse, I consult this site.

Thecreator’s words would resonate with many fanswho frequently visit Wikipedia for the latest updates and story details. Wikipedia is truly one of the best tools, as it has all the information about any specific subject in one place along with the original references. From the plot to reception, the site has everything available just a click away.

However, the creator might as well be talking about Wiki fandoms, as they are an extremely popular source of information for fans. Especially when we consider a lore as detailed asShangri-La Frontier.

Wiki platforms usually have countless pages available for every aspect, even for the most obscure ones. There are pages for the characters, enemies, and story events.Shangri-La Frontieris game-like in its essence and has many items. There are categories even in the items, for instance, the special items for the monsters.

There are Seven Colossi, who are unique monsters with nearly unbeatable strength. Every time one of them gets defeated, the story extends even further. Similarly, there are different towns and areas and each one of them has its own bosses. All these characters have backstories that are explored really well.

A great example of this would be Wethermon. His backstory wasn’t only well-explored but moved fans with its emotional weightage. Unless you’re a gaming expert, wiki becomes a great source to keep track of all these aspects of the story.
