Everything good must end at some point. Heck, everything bad must end at some point too. Michael Cifuentes via Spotify Great episode. Some shows must end so we bring in new adventures to the experience. On a side note, Shangri-La Frontier is not Isekai and that’s that Nick. iII MUSICTIME II via Spotify Absolutely great episode! I've heard a lot of fans are loving the remaster so far. Kaguya-sama: Love is War is another great anime and I wish it wasn't over haha BlockyFox36 via Spotify That is so me with Kaguya-sama: Love is War too. I know the manga exists, I have it on my phone, but I’m not reading hoping for another season of the dub. Right now I’m watching Shangri-La Frontier but as opposed to when I started watching it every night I watch it once every couple of days because I don’t want it to end.
