GREAT PRETENDER
Self-styled âJapan's greatest swindlerâ Makoto Edamura is mainly targeting elder people and occasional foreign travelers. But when he tries to scam an apparently clueless French tourist in Tokyo, he can't possibly imagine that what looked like just another ordinary job is going to take him all the way to Los Angeles, tied upside-down on the famous Hollywood sign⌠And he is yet to find out what fate awaits him!

Read full review on AniList âGreat Pretender could have easily been a 10/10 anime for me if it weren't for the fact that at it's worst it was so frustrating I wanted to rip my hair out.

Read full review on AniList âAt the risk of sounding like an ***, thereâs an almost unbearable mediocrity to the visual direction to a lot of anime (and all other artforms for the record).
