Great Pretender

What a mess.

The MC going all muh keikaku at the last two episodes was kino though and his maniacal laugh and evil look was so fucking hot I can't stop watching that scene and wishing he was screaming at me too.

Fell flat after the first arc

would've been good if they hadn't shoehone in all the previous villains and actually killed Dorothy

It would have been good if it actually ended in a bad end.
No one would have put up with so much bullshit, imagine your dad conspiring to nurture you into a con artist and casually ruining your life in the process?

The show was a perfect example for why you should kill a character every now and then. Or at least have someone lose a limb. When everything turns out to be part of then plan, there's zero tension. Halfway through the show I just didn't even care what happened anymore. Because no matter how dramatic something seem, nobody ever dies and everything is planned.
They even revived the ONE person who actually "died" to give us a shitty cliffhanger.

Punished Edamame would've been great. It's the closest the show came to having actually interesting character development that goes beyond 'muh sad backstory for everyone'.

Are we not going to talk about how Edamame actually participated into child trafficking for like 6 months and legit helped selling off children, when he though people had actually died.
How's that ok? Is Edamame a fucking Sociopath?

>shoehone in all the previous villains
I could accept all the other bullshit, but this was too much for me.

>Are we not going to talk about how Edamame actually participated into child trafficking for like 6 months and legit helped selling off children
Bro just turn your brain off. Just wait till the next season brings back the mob bosses as wholesome side characters.

The cast should've actually failed one arc instead of everything going according to keikaku. The show lost its tension when you realise Laurent will always win no matter what.

First story is actually great but the elements that made it great are gone after it's over, the last story was interesting but at the end it was also a bunch of nothing and dumber than usual, after episode 21 many things were hinting that something surprising might happen but the surprise was that nothing surprising happened at the end, things ended as usual with no emotional moments and for some reason all of the bad guys they con joined to help them, suuuuuure, look, I'm not asking for realism but this was totally unnecessary and made the entire series feel like a waste of time, but wait, there's more, DOROTHY WAS ALIVE wooooo. Still a solid 7/10 to me but so much wasted potential, really disappointing show.

>expect cool con artist tricks
>get boohoo my sad past sob stories
why did they have to do this?

At some point I thought Edamura was going to betray everyone and become the baddest motherfucker of the sshow but... yeah, I got my expectations too high for this series.

Fucking this, first story worked perfectly without wasting time on sad backstories, the show never needed them, Salazar being the closest we got during the first story but it was fast and straight to the point, easy to understand and deep at the same time. Not every show needs an "eric sad backstory", the characters were great without it, if anything the sad backstories only made them look more one dimensional and boring.

>VILLAINs
Are you niggers retarded? There are either no villains or they all are because remember they're fucking CON ARTISTS fucking over other people.

Stick to your "Kafkaesque soft seinens" aka run-of-the-mill shounenshit.

that twist with dorothy at the end was dogshit, ugly monkey

WHY WAS EVIL EDAMAME DO FUCKING HOT?!

>run-of-the-mill shounenshit.
But at the end that's what this was, not even something like Laurent losing control and killing the chink, at the end it followed the usual shonen formula of "if you kill them you lose", I was really expecting for at least ONE character to lose control but nope, also what stop the two huge mafias to just gather a bunch of niggas and shot everyone down after they are back to the mainland?
>inb4 they become good friends too
Sugoi.

AYO HOL UP
OOH OOH AH AH

Then why would these people they fucked over want to work with them? Makes little sense. We're paying them isn't a good enough excuse.

Holy shit laurent's ex is hideous, he had a few shitty frames but she's really ugly with that hair and the eyebrows of hers.
Edamura is still retarded and annoying and Abby is a walking trope. And those dudes returning was the shittiest and the dumbest twist I've seen in a while. Case 4 is shit.

Terrible show, WIT just cant make decent originals.

God, I was so happy to see that punkass get cleaned out. Plus, Buddyism between pilots in the end.

People rlly like this??.

soo bad, i hate americanish anime

Nah, it was good.

Why would you possibly dislike him?

Because I hate the truth.

>Edamame being cool with his life being manipulated
>Edamame suddenly being cool with his absent dad
>the bad guys being cool with the people that took all of their money
>Dorothy still alive somehow
>yakuza mom getting screwed over

The ending was a crock of shit

Op
What a faggot.

It was inspired by Lupin so no wonder the writing was half-baked. Still had fun though.
