You were my Secret Santa this year and I just wanted to thank you SO SO much for your recommendation. I've already finished Great Pretender and I can't wait for season 2. It's become one of my favorite shows and I gave it a 10/10! First of all, the best part of the anime (for me personally) are the characters. They're all so unique and fun to watch and I love their backstories. The story is also amazing. I never thought I wanted to watch a bunch of con-men scamming horrible rich people, but here I am! Also - the plot twists! There were plot twists on every turn and some of them I couldn't see coming at all. The art style is unique and different from most anime and I really like it!
Overall, I don't think I could've gotten a better recommendation, so thank you again! Happy New Year and I hope you had an amazing Christmas!
hey! so i actually just finished watching tokyo godfathers and omg it was magical. i am way too tired to properly formulate any kind of like sophisticated take on it but it was so touching and emotional but also really easy to watch and enjoy - a really good balance between the two that's hard to get right and this movie nailed it! i really loved the main trio and the inclusion of a trans character was a nice surprise, written especially well for japan in 2003 lol. the animation was also so genuine feeling. weird detail to fixate on, but i loved the way their sniffles were animated. i rarely see crying animated that dramatically while also portraying a sense of ugly realism and i adore it. really awesome recommendation, thank you again, was a really nice watch and opened my eyes a little (-:
what's funny is i watched about five or six episodes of parasyte ages ago but had totally forgotten about it and apparently just never got around to adding it to my list lol! i do remember though that i had actually really enjoyed it up to that point, so your recommendation was successful in some backwards way. i am totally planning on getting around to rewatching it for real, so thanks for the reminder (-: (btw, your comparison of the mc to kaneki was awesome if that's what your intention was)
as for tokyo godfathers, i plan to watch it and report back asap - i've been meaning to, but i keep pushing it back. the artstyle is gorgeous - satoshi kon never missed with the artstyle. the plot seems really intriguing, so i'm excited!!
thank you for the awesome recs and i hope you had/are having a great holiday
oh i dont really read them in a row haha
i usually read a saga, which is a few arcs at most, and then take a break with a shorter manga
thats when i read monster, between one piece arcs
Honestly because theres other anime i wanna watch rn that are pretty long, like bleach, so I decided since the manga is so good I’ll just read that and if i like it ill watch after.
