Read full review on AniList →Great Pretender is the year's biggest anime surprise, on the brink of achieving greatness.
What happens when you take a little bit of Ocean's 11, Catch Me If You Can ,and a huge dose of The Brothers Bloom? Well to put it bluntly you get Great Pretender. I had almost settled on the show being perfect but there are some glaringly minor nitpicks that bring this shown down a notch. However, G…

_Great Pretender_ was the first anime that I ever watched, and right now it's still one of my favourites if not my favourite. It was created by _Wit Studio_, and although it is truly not their most famous show, I think it is the best one that they have don…
Read full review on AniList →Could have been a perfect anime if not for poor choices that favoured a zany plot at the expense of great characters.
Great 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. Unfortunately, the very last arc and conclusion of this anime really let down what was in the running to be an all-time favourite show.

>Everyone lies...
That simple and that simple is one of the most uncomfortable truths that human beings can have. Because no matter how we see it, there will be times when pretending is the best option (or perhaps the only one) and the series to which I dedicate this post does nothing more than rem…

Great Pretender è probabilmente l’unico anime prodotto da Netflix che considero davvero di livello.
Già dai primissimi episodi si capisce che non sarà il solito prodotto costruito per vendere o inseguire le mode del momento: Great Pretender è qualcosa di diverso, di più raffinato, di più ambizioso.…

_The Great Pretender_ is a very good story about a bunch of individually unlikeable characters who come together to create a group of _slightly less unlikeable characters…
Read full review on AniList →Great Pretender is a fantastic production that is sadly overshadowed by an unengaging story
At the risk of sounding like an ***, there’s an almost unbearable mediocrity to the visual direction to a lot of anime (and all other artforms for the record). Not to sound reductive, however, I find it hard to be compelled by the aesthetic of most seasonal shows that come and go, not to name any na…
Read full review on AniList →Una serie carina che pur con i suoi errori da una notevole boccata d’aria fresca all’animazione giapponese.
Quando venni a sapere che WIT STUDIO era lo studio assegnato alla nuova opera animata di Netflix, non potevo trattenere l’hype.
Reduce da un finale da pazzi per la terza stagione di Shingeki no Kyojin (Attack on Titan), che mi aveva messo i brividi come la prima volta che lessi il manga, non potevo…
Read full review on AniList →Great Pretender is a very entertaining anime that pays homage to artists, movies, and music.
Great Pretender is a show that does nothing inherently new but does work quite well because of strong side characters and storytelling. Its arc system is also a strong point. It helps to tell the stories of different characters without ever feeling preachy or boring.

There are 4 arcs in the sho…

„What are you? Some kind of wannabe Robin Hood band?” – a casual paraphrase of Edamame’s words from one of the first episodes. It’s hard to disagree with his stance, considering that Laurent’s band acts in a way that can be justified to some degree. In the process of creating the legal system, human…

__If you're telling a story and you insert the words 'plot twist' in it, and you're friend asks you 'what does that mean?' just direct them to this anime.__
It is actually insane how well-built this anime is.
