This show's made to look smart, but it's not up to the mark over its execution. Had great promise with all the visuals at the beginning (OP theme and the unique Art Direction) but came out more of Conceited Storytelling than the wit it was supposed to execute. Overall okay, but not great. Thanks to the average execution of the show.
Often predictable plot. And a poor cast of characters.
The show is mostly based outside of Japanese context. It could've been better with its writing and a more experienced director who has a better idea of the world outside beyond that of anime stereotypes.
It felt like a show trying to force itself to be amazing.
The anime lives up to its eponymous name. It conveys itself as a 'Great Pretender' in terms of execution. Pretends to look a classic, but ain't.
Trying to enforce consumerism, with real-life references to its snooty script. The only great things in this show corresponded to Freddy Mercury's ending song, the Opening Theme animation, and the Art Direction. The rest was a big let down.
Disillusion of a show against its first glances. Almost comparative of an Oscar Bait, which has no critical acclaim.
