This show is absolutely incredible. I watched every episode in a sitting! The art is so unique and beautiful, the story is fun and exciting! I loved it!
tbh the first episode was kinda boring people keep telling me to get into it but it's not very interesting. it's about con art from what i've seen. And tbh i like mystery anime , and romance / action . The first episode was okay , but i kept skipping through parts .
Bruh your voice is amazing and this was a good review/vid essay. I would never guess that you only have 500 subs and less viewers. Hope your channel grows fast
What make this show unique is that Makoto cheat and con because he was given a unfair life and he try to do it later case because he wanted to help people around him. Where laurent and the other confident members does it because to help those who in need against criminals that is bending the law {RobinHood}. But they never help others or people around them to overcome there own trouble. Is the play off for this 2 character help make this series so interesting XD beautiful series
The first case gave me such death note vibes and the ending to it was such a plot twist I loved the show overall and each case gave me a different feel
I found clips of this anime on TH-cam months ago(I didn't know what it was called) and I remembered it this week and I found itttt It's so good, I love the art style and the French, Japanese and English in the first episode. Very good anime👌😎
I’ve been listening to Deal with the Devil non stop, it’s been stuck on replay in my head for hours. clicking on your seemingly unrelated video and hearing it made me think that I was hallucinating, it took me about 4 times restarting the video to realize that it was actually just in the video
not sure, i think the show is pretty "anime", so if your not into anime im not sure if you would like this however if your main thing is you dont like alot of the popular anime, i feel like this does enough to seperate it from other shows
Absolutely. It's a fun show about people executing clever heists with lots of plot twists (except the heists are cons, but the principle is the same), but I think where it shines most is the main characters, their development and relationships. It's very good at getting you invested in them. Visuals and soundtrack are good too, I'd say it's a 9/10, maybe even 10/10...except the last arc abandons what made the more grounded and character-development driven earlier arcs of the show so good. It's not terrible but I'd say it drops to a mere 7/10 during the last 8 or so episodes. Still worth a watch for sure either way.
One of the best anime for 2020 it's really funny and fun to watch, BUT they ruined the ending because they added so much plot twist that the emotional impact of each event ruins the whole anime. I'm not hating or anything this is by far my fave anime in 2020
To be completely honest i started it and took awhile before i actually got back into it. I think the most i did was chuckle , the animation and art style was really good although the first few episodes weren't as good as i thought they would be , i honestly spent most of my time skipping through it. I'm not into Con art so it wasn't interesting. But the main character was different than most although it's because it's not much of an action show. i think the main character can be compared to Black lagon's main character in some ways. Neither of them are OP. I would say i kept watching it because of the animation style . That's my honest opinion on the show if were talking rating outta ten compared to most shows or movies i've watched i'd say 6/10 at best , i really like the animation the story line was nice but it's not something i would stay up late for.
i have no idea what the dub is like lol if by "engirsh" you mean the japanese "english" then they only talk like that for like 2 minutes in the first episode and then keep everything in japanese
@@LostTrigger oh so it's only at the start, roger that! I thought the whole series was like that, cause it was like that for almost all of the first ep and it kinda bummed me... well now that I know I'll go and watch it. Tnx for replying
I hope you've watched it by now but no one has explained this well. They use the accented English in both Japanese and English for most of the first episode. Then after they make a joke about Edamame's accent it switches to either all Japanese or all regular American accents. They just needed to establish that Edamame has a strange accent for a Japanese person because it's a running joke.
Sorry but i dont get what's so unique about the art? I have read hell lot of mangas and quite a bit of anime(b4 2017 mostly) but the art doesn't feel that unique tbh, well I have to watch it yet
I like the vibrant and popping color palette, the animation (imo) is very fluid when it needs to be making the more intense scenes better. And the characters themselves all have distinct yet stylish designs
The only critique i have for this show is that its called ‘Great Pretender’... IT SHOULD BE *THE* GREAT PRETENDER, show this show some respect maynnn🥺💯💯.
I watched the first five episodes. I found every character utterly contemptible and very easy to dislike. By the time their first long-con was finished, I had become so sick of the post-hoc 'twists' that I sat and pondered for a long time why I should continue following the adventures of these people. It turns out the writers had provided me *zero* reasons for empathizing or sympathizing with any of these characters whatsoever. Not even the 'mother dying in hospital' and 'I see myself reflected in this poor child!' tropes (which I've witnessed thousands of times by now) were enough to make me care an iota for these people.
Right now I am imagining you saying this in a James Coleman voice lol. Also, if you like repetitive anime tropes like the helpless girl love interest, or the OP male protagonist, that's fine, but stop hating on a unique and refreshing take on anime that clearly many people enjoy. You've only watched the first 5 episodes. Chill
This anime needs more attention. Period.
Yeah I don't really see people talking about it
This show is absolutely incredible. I watched every episode in a sitting! The art is so unique and beautiful, the story is fun and exciting! I loved it!
I wish I could do that. I can only watch like 2 episodes before my ADD kicks in
tbh the first episode was kinda boring people keep telling me to get into it but it's not very interesting. it's about con art from what i've seen. And tbh i like mystery anime , and romance / action . The first episode was okay , but i kept skipping through parts .
trailer intro : HEEEEEEEELPPP MEEEEEE
mE : my mind is made up
lmao
Sums up the first arc in a nutshell
I see you are man of culture as well
It's not an overpowered character anime
It's not a simp that somehow got alot of girls
It's literally the smartest scam artist ever
THIS ANIME IS JUST SO GOOD
Bruh your voice is amazing and this was a good review/vid essay. I would never guess that you only have 500 subs and less viewers. Hope your channel grows fast
Thank you so much! :)
This anime is just solid masterpieces.
What make this show unique is that Makoto cheat and con because he was given a unfair life and he try to do it later case because he wanted to help people around him.

Is the play off for this 2 character help make this series so interesting XD beautiful series
You had me at "interesting main character." Holy balls am I sick of bland characters.
yeah i've been having a hard time getting into alot more new anime because the main character sucks balls
The first case gave me such death note vibes and the ending to it was such a plot twist I loved the show overall and each case gave me a different feel
Anyone else getting a cowboy bebop, lupin lll, samurai champloo, space dandy, outlaw star etc vibe?... I’m already sold 😍
And a Tiger&Bunny vibe as well
I defo got Cowboy Bebop vibes
That was fun to watch! It definitely gets you interested in checking out this anime :)
This needs so much recognition!
The fourth case is so fu king good
Edamame is a great boy
I know i am
This and Appare-Ranman! are crazy and l love them.
Its weird how they are all coming into the US
I love the fact that appare-ranman has the exact plot of jojo part 7
Literally a masterpiece from the beginning to the very end.
I found clips of this anime on TH-cam months ago(I didn't know what it was called) and I remembered it this week and I found itttt
It's so good, I love the art style and the French, Japanese and English in the first episode.
Very good anime👌😎
Glad got liked it! Def a must watch this season
After watching all 23 episodes. all I can say is... it was worth it.
underrated anime you should watch it
I’ve been listening to Deal with the Devil non stop, it’s been stuck on replay in my head for hours. clicking on your seemingly unrelated video and hearing it made me think that I was hallucinating, it took me about 4 times restarting the video to realize that it was actually just in the video
Lmao
I love the song
still criminally underrated
Awesome video, good job man!
thank you! :)
@@LostTrigger how do I watch the anime
@@TheThingThatMakeForPeace i watched it on kissanime
@bobby Cray it’s on Netflix now
Why is no one watching and talking about this show????
I don’t think this will get enough traction which makes me sad. Also Edamura x Abigail
I think Laurent appeared in death note before. If you know you know....
The twists and turns of the anime are amazing
I can't stress this enough.
Anyone els notice the kakegurui op1
i love kakegurui LOL
@@LostTrigger ik it was so good
@@LostTrigger anyways thank you for telling me what the great pretender is about im going to whach it now
@@Kei-ce8gm no problem hope you enjoy it :)
4:17 my guy is a fortune teller
How did I know
As somebody who doesn't normally watch or like anime, would I like this show? Seems interesting.
not sure, i think the show is pretty "anime", so if your not into anime im not sure if you would like this
however if your main thing is you dont like alot of the popular anime, i feel like this does enough to seperate it from other shows

Okay but what episode is the part where they shooting guns everywhere
episode 2 or 3 i think?
Episode 23
That's episode 22
At the end not bad at all
The jj abrams analogy was perfect although i didn't watch star wars at all
I’ll check out the first 3 episodes and see if I like it
I just watched the first episode and it's already peak
This show is awesome
To be completely honest i started it and took awhile before i actually got back into it. I think the most i did was chuckle , the animation and art style was really good although the first few episodes weren't as good as i thought they would be , i honestly spent most of my time skipping through it. I'm not into Con art so it wasn't interesting. But the main character was different than most although it's because it's not much of an action show.
i think the main character can be compared to Black lagon's main character in some ways. Neither of them are OP.
I would say i kept watching it because of the animation style . That's my honest opinion on the show if were talking rating outta ten compared to most shows or movies i've watched i'd say
6/10 at best , i really like the animation the story line was nice but it's not something i would stay up late for.
This is great.
Tbh the engrish alone kinda stops me from watching this, would u say watching this one dubbed is better or I'll get used to the engrish?
i have no idea what the dub is like lol
if by "engirsh" you mean the japanese "english" then they only talk like that for like 2 minutes in the first episode and then keep everything in japanese
@@LostTrigger oh so it's only at the start, roger that! I thought the whole series was like that, cause it was like that for almost all of the first ep and it kinda bummed me... well now that I know I'll go and watch it. Tnx for replying
@@yahavrx1327 well the English uses the original Japanese audio for the first half of episode 1 and arc 3 has some characters speak French.
i think it gives it more character
I hope you've watched it by now but no one has explained this well. They use the accented English in both Japanese and English for most of the first episode. Then after they make a joke about Edamame's accent it switches to either all Japanese or all regular American accents.

Abby is best girl
U have a great point of view man u do understand some too realistic animes like this
Sorry but i dont get what's so unique about the art? I have read hell lot of mangas and quite a bit of anime(b4 2017 mostly) but the art doesn't feel that unique tbh, well I have to watch it yet
I like the vibrant and popping color palette, the animation (imo) is very fluid when it needs to be making the more intense scenes better.
And the characters themselves all have distinct yet stylish designs
Thx brooooo
The anime is just too realistic that's why some people can't handle it I don't know why they can't
IM THE BEST CONFIDENCE MAN i beat luarent by a mile
NEVER DOUBT EDAMURA
The only critique i have for this show is that its called ‘Great Pretender’...
IT SHOULD BE *THE* GREAT PRETENDER, show this show some respect maynnn🥺💯💯.
The plot is dumb and the show makes no sense.
That's all bye bye
ikr
🥱 the blood was fake and the guns was movie props

Or u just have no taste 🤷♂️
