Great Pretender: Razbliuto Episode 1 Discussion

If it wasn't not MAL I wouldn't even know that this came out. Netflix did a shit job again marketing this show. In fact, it may be worse than last time. It sucks cause Great Pretender deserves better.

MAL deserves some insulting too. It's been months but you can't put this movie as Completed. What the fuck is wrong?

Anyway, this was an okay movie I guess. It didn't keep me on edge like the show did.

I knew this movie was mostly going to be about Dorothy and some new characters but I couldn't really care about them that much. I wanted to see Edamame, Cynthia, Abby, and the blonde asshole back. It sucks that Abby and Cynthia didn't even make any visual appearance. I don't think Cynthia even had any voice lines. I just wanted to see the old gang back.

The story of this movie was decent. I was expecting more of a closure with Dorothy and Laurent. But the ending just left me wanting for more. Hopefully, this movie isn't the end and we'll get a proper Season 2 in the same style as Season 1! That'd be amazing.

Hoped for more Laurent in a Great Pretender spinoff but this was still cool as its own thing.

And lmao they really snuck in a Trump joke.

aint no one gonna address how Laurent has her necklace and ring and here she is wearing it like nothing happened?

@JJJJAnime13 by the time he threw it away after his revenge, a few years have passed. Meanwhile she had it for much longer and without even her memory of why she has it

@d0main

At the end of the OG series. Past the end credits. Dorothy’s parents finds the ring stuck in a fish and they gave it to her. The scene ends with her saying “not bad” while holding the ring.

Wait so are there 4 episodes or one ?

Wait so are there 4 episodes or one ?

You know an anime is pretty keen on appealing to Western audiences when you hear references to Harry Potter, DiCaprio and Trump in an hour and a half, lmao. Also, this might be the first anime to directly mention K-Pop as a pop culture reference?

Anyway, while it doesn't quite seem to retain the vibe of the original show (the original show also had that many toilet jokes?), I'm liking it so far and first "four episodes" leaves me expecting more in the next three films. Including what will happen to this love-hite between the new Taiwanese characters. It seems that their love story is clearly not over yet. And how often will we see the original cast as part of this? The ending seems promising in this regard.

What next three films?

@MegamiRem Nevermind, I misunderstood the announcement and thought we were going to have 4 separate movies rather than one of 4 episodes.

@RobertBobert Yeah thought so, np was just clarifying things.

@MegamiRem I don't know if someone confused me or if I confused myself, but it seemed logical to me, since I expected the length of an entire series.

@RobertBobert They can always make a sequel and with how this movie was I have a feeling that'll be the case.
