Great Pretender is an original anime produced by Wit Studio, which began airing in Summer 2020. Netlifx simulcast the anime worldwide. Synopsis A series of unfortunate events has led Makoto "Edamame" Edamura to adopt the life of crime—pickpocketing and scamming others for a living. However, after swindling a seemingly clueless tourist, Makoto discovers that he was the one tricked and, to make matters worse, that the police are now after him. While making his escape, he runs into the tourist once again, who turns out to be a fellow con man named Laurent Thierry, and ends up following him to Los Angeles. In an attempt to defend his self-proclaimed title of "Japan's Greatest Swindler," Makoto challenges his rival to determine the better scammer. Accepting the competition, Laurent drops them off outside a huge mansion and claims that their target will be the biggest mafia boss on the West Coast. Jumping from city to city, Great Pretender follows the endeavors of Makoto alongside the cunning Laurent and his colorful associates in the world of international high-stakes fraud. Soon, Makoto realizes that he got more than what he bargained for as his self-declared skills are continually put to the test.

Huh. Never thought there’d be any more to this anime since the first season ended pretty conclusively. But I really enjoyed Great Pretender so I’m pleasantly surprised to see it return. I wonder if they’ll use Queen’s song again lol.
| @Phlaryx I'm hyped regardless! Great Pretender is a fantastic TV show and while I find it lesser than 91 Day, it does lend it self to squeals better than that show. There is a lot worse anime to make a second season of that in no way needed it. I can take a new season of absurdly well animated Oceans 11 even if its mostly jogging in place natively. |
| All the three people rose in the excitement. Another animation selling anime. |

| @Phlaryx They will most probably use another Queen's song for the ending. I mean this show is named after his song so it's kinda obvious. |

@Swagernator This guy is toxic 24x7 lol.
| @ZXEAN he is friends with moderators thats why he can be toxic anyway looking forward to this sequel |
| no netflix jail this time eh that will help boost its popularity but then its sequel so not much boost i guess |
| I don't like it when they make sequels of animes with perfectly fine conclusion so hopefully this'll be good. Maybe we'll get to see Abby and Makoto married at the end this time. |
 |
| So glad it’s finally happening. |
| IMHO this did not need a sequel but I will not complain till I see it. Maybe they will make something great. |
| Didn't expect to see a sequel to this show years later, good news. But do I understand correctly that this time there are new characters, but in the same universe? |
 |
| Great news. The ending wasn't completely conclusive in my opinion, and had room for developing more story. So I'm excited. |
  |
| I still has not watched the last arc as I had a bunch of issues with the main character and where the story was going. But I may finish it sometime. |
 |
| So glad to see, a real calling for me to start watching the series! |
#Anime4Life be my Life Motto! #PrayForKyoAni  |
| peak is back!!! 😭 |
| News reminding me to start this series. Heheheh |
 |
| Never expected "Great Pretender" to get a sequel tbh. The show was great and i had no real clue if it would ever really get another season but thankfully that'll happen next year. |
 |
| I am quite pleased with this news. 😁 |
 "Are you intoxicated, or just insane?" |
| This is such a pleasant surprise! Really enjoyed the first series, the ending felt like there could have been some more if I remember correctly but really didn't expect them to actually continue so I'm really excited about this! |
  |
| This is interesting. I may consider a re-watch the moment I saw this. |
| Pass. Let me know when there's a second season of "Kotaro Lives Alone." |
