Great Pretender

I feel comfortable when I see such a beautiful animation ,this reminds me of Jojo bizarre adventure. The story is great but my only issue is that they make fraud easy which is not in reality

The scene after the final credits.. So glad they left it open. Now that netflix has picked it up it has a much better chance at getting one more hopefully. I think that's all it needs.

Both the dub and sub are great. The animation is some of the best since the hand drawn days. The use of color is masterfully done. The story is simple and engaging. I grew to like most of the characters. Its a solid 8.5 series, but i voted a bit higher to off set some silly reviews. The first comedy adult anime I've enjoyed since the first season of OPM.. they dont come around often at all. Yet this is not close to as silly as OPM, dealing with some pretty heavy topics. But often the outcome isnt edgy or depressing. Which very hard to do i imagine when also writing it as a comedy that also isnt your typical 'black comedy' either.

It feels like its taken its influences from some of the best anime ever made like Bebop, baccano and GTO and made something of its own. To me, it feels original. But i can see how some might interpret that the opposite way. Different perspectives i suppose.

Give it a go i say.

Though its title and theme are "pretenders", this anime is not really about fraud. In each case, the protagonists cheat the rich bad people and make society a better place. As the story unfolds, you will see that the main characters each has their own emotional background stories. They are just normal people who were helpless in this capitalist society that is full of fraud already, and decided to use this weapon against what once hurt them the most. This is an story about justice and love, told in the most stylish and warm way. A good combination of western culture and Japanese animes' profoundity.

Love this form of Art, would definitely recommend this Anime to you all. The protagonist is going through things here and character development can be seen

I liked the first 4-5 Episodes very much but then it lost its power throughout the rest of the show. I liked the art and music style (Cowboy Bebop inspired themes were noticed)
