As Gonzo has always been popular for their great animes and graphic. This is not an exception.

You must watch this series if you ever watch either one of these:
-Code Geass
-Valkyria Chr.
-Gurren Lagann

Why?
Because Shangri-La is a whole new something else, different from any of those above, but as twice as good. It deserve a better popularity.

This story is mainly about a girl, Kuniko, who struggles to fight for the rights of people from the outside world who live in danger and exposure toward pollution and natural disasters, while the rich and powerful people live in the heavenly building-city, Atlas. (show less)

The show is entertaining if you enjoy watching a charismatic female protagonist that gets into adventures and saves her friends from crazy mishaps. One of my complaints with the show is that I never felt like the main characters were in danger during the action sequences, and some of the plot points and character abilities are a little far fetched considering other aspects of the show are more realistic. Also, it takes a little bit of time before the different character stories intersect to make a coherent story line. I found several of the characters to be amusing but I didn't grow attached to any of them. Altogether, the show is fun to watch and the animation is pretty, so I recommend it to people looking for another action/adventure show to watch. (show less)
