Great Pretender is a crime cum comedy based anime TV series originally from Japan. It has 23 episodes in total and hence, Season 2 will be the last. Directed by Hiro Kaburagi and penned by Ryōta Kosawa, the 23 series is produced by Wit Studio. The studio is famous for its works in Attack On Titan anime series and the Vinland Saga anime. The team of Evangelion and FLCL artist Yoshiyuki Sadamoto forms the Great Pretender character designer. The music is composed by Vinland Saga composer Yutaka Yamada.
The series follows the terminology of ‘case’. A few blocks of episodes combined together form a ‘case’. For instance, those who have watched Case 1 known as ‘Los Angeles Connection’, it comprised of episodes 1 to 5. Whereas, Case 2 was labeled as ‘The Singapore Sky’ consisted of episodes 6 to 10. Similarly, Case 3 known as ‘Snow of London’ had episodes from 11 to 14.
Great Pretender will be a “two-cour” or “split-cour” anime. Check out the official summary:
“Edamura Masato is supposedly Japan’s greatest swindler. Together with his partner Kudo, they try to trick a Frenchman in Asakusa but unexpectedly get tricked instead. The Frenchman, whom they tried to swindle, turns out to be Laurent Thierry—a much higher-level ‘confidence man,’ in control of the mafia. Edamura is yet to find out what fate awaits him, after having engaged in the Frenchman’s dirty jobs…!”
I know many of you would have a vibe with this show really hard. The works of Shinichiro Watanabe would be favorite anime for many since they scratch all of those itches perfectly. Some feel that the writer brings freshness to the script since he’s new to anime. Many of you would not like to call it Season 2, hoping to get to see the real Season 2 in the future.
Stay tuned for all updates related to Great Pretender Season 2. Thankfully it is not too long a wait!
