The Great Pretender Season 3 Release Date, Characters, And Plot!

When we hear the word heist, the only thing that comes to our mind is money heist, owing to the fad revolving around the series. However, when heist as the theme gets hinged on anime, you cannot expect it to be pedestrian but you sure can expect it to be transnational in the sense that many international locations would be used for the sake of the plot.

The very anime that we are talking about is great pretenders, a Netflix original anime series produced in collaboration with Wit Studios, which is renowned for the production of attack on titans.
The show’s direction and writing are helmed by Hiro Kaburagi and Ryota Kosawa, some very famous names.

The unwonted approach adopted by the anime is that rather than dividing the episodes into arcs it is divided into cases, commencing with the first case Los Angeles Connection followed by Singapore Sky and Snow of London. The anime is peculiar in one more sense, in the form of Makota Enamura, a con artist in Japan who is a reflection of the reaction of the audiences once encountered with the twists in different heists. He himself doesn’t know what big anomaly would burst upon his head and therefore navigating through the show, the same way as we are.

The Great Pretender Season 3

The first season of the anime aired from 2 June 2020 to 16 June 2020, while the third season owing to the success of the show without any limbo was released on 21 September in one single go.
The last episode of the season seemed inconclusive, therefore failing to dispel any doubts regarding the plot holes. This seemingly obvious fact, fans thought would be entertained in the form of the announcement for the next season but, to their dismay, it didn’t happen. So the question is will that happen?

It is being argued by many web portals that the impasse in the decision on the renewal of the second season is caused by the mayhem caused by the pandemic rather than the morsel of content, which was earlier speculated to be the major cause for this delay. But apart from this is there any other reason that can be summoned to prove the likeliness of a second season?

Well, one such factor can be popularity, in which regards the show has done outstandingly well consistently. It has an IMBD rating of 8 and a MyAnimeList rating of 8.3. The show which was released a bit earlier in Japan by Netflix and later on various local networks has also done well domestically. This appeal to the tastes of both international and national audiences puts the show on par with its contemporaries.
