Great Pretender

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.

It is yet another excellent anime by WiT studio with outstanding visuals and great execution. It is a modern classic in thr making.

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

This anime is definitely the best anime of this year so far. Previously only available in +Ultra programming block of Fuji TV (same block with Beastars), but now it is coming to Netflix. Only 14 episodes released until now because it is imitating western series by having mid-season finale for the first half of the series.

The Cowboy Bebob's jazzy vibes and Catch Me If You Can's heist vibes feel really strong in this anime along with its opening theme song and title sequence. You must be really sure that this anime is truly good when they have Freddy Mercury of Queen for this anime ending song. Lastly, this is produced by Wit Studio who produced Attack on Titan Season 1-3 and Vinland Saga, what more can you expect?

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.
