  • Great Pretender was a very fun experience, and despite I was getting a bit sick that the story never took a serious turn without being a big bait in the end, I still enjoyed the hell out of it, especially Laurent and Cynthia’s backstories.

    I mean, the finale seemed to close on Makoto’s character pretty decently? As far as I recall, he shouldn’t have any more business as a con artist, right? I just hope the new season/movie/special (hopefully not recap) doesn’t try to force characters into their old ways 'a la Despicable Me 3; but it is WIT, so I think I trust them to handle the characters well.




    • Fate/Zero (my current top 1)

    -Og Fullmetal Alchemist, because brotherhood was probably already recommended to the entire world.

    -Ga-Rei-Zero

    -Jin-Rou

    -Eiga Daisuki Pompo-san

    -Houseki no Kuni

    -Aku no Hana (yes, THAT anime adaptation).

    -Top wo Nerae! Gunbuster (or og Gurren Lagann, if you will)

    -Toradora!

    -Kaiba

    -Shiki (people should talk more about this and Kaiba, this one has also one of the best Special episodes I’ve ever seen)

    -Higurashi no naku Koro ni (not sotsugou for god’s sake).

    -Shinsekai Yori.

    In general, in a world where the conversations around horror anime almost always shift towards Elfen Lied and Another (where neither is particularly great in my opinion), I think Shiki, Higurashi and Shinsekai Yori also deserve their place in mainstream conversations (more than the first two, I’d even say).
