Nope, not talking about going out to eat with colleagues when I could've stayed at home because that one was fruitful I got to do a little shopping I was holding back because the nearby mall is always packed lol. More like grateful at this point haha but yeah, talking about actual work, as I am typing right now. Really crammed in some time to clear this week's Anime because I wanted to do it in the morning but when there's a Media Share stream on Twitch you canNOT not watch it haha so yeah

Talking about other things that is still real life, my packages still haven't arrived, so... might all appear at once next week haha and it's not only Phase 3 we have more stuff like a new bag so I don't have to cram my work laptop every day when I bring it home. Yeah, didn't have to bring it home last year but... haha times have changed, huh. Okay let's get to Anime!! Oh and music we gave a couple of songs this week haha might be highest count this month lol

アニメ GREAT PRETENDER

(Deliberately left blank just like how empty the theme songs are because there is no originals haha)

Haha lol was Makoto binge-watching movies the whole night and THEN thought of negotiation as his solution? Hmm I guess that's what happens if you had all night to think about it. Also, Makoto? Your inner movie fanatic is showing. *laughs* In this show where we wear masks to make drugs instead of avoid a virus lol (#GREATPRETENDER03), I think we're even again, I don't know how. Hey, Makoto just was in for the ride, of course he can't cover everything alone. Laurent was prepared, mind you. And of course, so is everyone around them. So, story first. Firstly, about Makoto trolling the heck out of Cassano to double the price. After he left the hotel room from last episode, instead of leaving the place because he can't anyways, he decided to... well, suck up to Cassano, I would say. He watched a night of movies till dawn, but it was actually movies that "producer" made, so I guess in a sense he's trying to tell him how good his work was while relating it to his invention, "Sakura Magic" if you could recall. Since he's trying to pussy out too mainly because he left the hotel in the first place, he was trying to get rid of this stink, until Cassano mentioned that he can up the price if he wants to. And that's probably where the lying continues. Makoto didn't lie about the movies though; I guess he was a movie fanatic. Everything else is history as the guys now try to ask for payment so you know, we can complete the cycle. Sadly, this is where the... target, starts to take notice. You know, not like anyone doesn't know of the lies that might be in place for this professional drug dealer, so yeah, gotta check on everything about those guys first, but firstly, on Makoto. You know, a scientist from Japan? You gotta make it happen first, bro. And they did. Well, not the boy himself, but Laurent. So there you go, hopefully we covered all bases, yes? Nope, not even close. On top of this, we have three levels of predators we have to take note of before we even ride to the end of this roller coaster ie. this first arc. Number 1: Cassano himself. He knows that this doctor might not be real. He knows that there are scams he can gotten into where the inventor left a fake recipe and ran for it with the money. So yeah, he needs to see it made. Seeing is believing, ladies and gentlemen. But yeah we know, this is not happening. The book he has is just a fake recipe to make maybe Paracetamol or whatever lol, and obviously he can't do it at all. Or he can? Just not in this terrible factory though; he needs like a clean room (not literally, go Google it, it's used to make rocket parts) to he can make his stuff, you know. I mean, the lies can only go that far, but Cassano is willing it to take it through. So, he decides to upgrade his factory. *silence* Let's see how long this trio can last lol. Number 2: LAPD Detective Anderson. You know, if you're some level of drug dealer good chances the police is after you. Or is it? Cassano had to fake a car chase so the guys can go somewhere private to make the transaction or whatever, but yeah, now Anderson has an excuse to tell his superiors. Hey, did we talk about how Cassano has connections too similar to Laurent? Hey, pretenders be pretenders amirite?? *recalls Freddie Mercury song* Anyways, and that's how Cassano can do all of his work in piece. He has credit... of being too strong or being too friendly with some of the police. Yes, I say some because we have more characters in place to deal with the bad guys, whichever side you're on lol. Number 3: Enter FBI Agent Pola Dickens. She's also a detective.... but without connections. Meaning she doesn't do a number on any of these guys, and can arrest them at any moment's notice. So yeah, Anderson, so much for your career, my boy. *laughs* Sadly, that means that arresting Cassano is a possibility now that he probably evaded the police for a while I assume which is probably like 2 months at max haha, is now going to have to face the FBI probably before he can get his hands on the new drug... or kill Makoto first, whichever comes first haha. All in all, a fun episode that never stops to impress, and I'm glad this original Anime is still able to keep the pace going. So I guess after the three-episode rule... I can give this I guess. We might be at the end of this part of the story soon, so we shall see everyone's fate by then. I am NOT praying for any of their safety; they don't deserve to be pitied in any capacity haha bye

P.S. Yeah didn't remember I mentioned this before, but yeah the post-hashtags in the post now (if you can't see it in search it's fine just click in the post) link to the anchors on the page since the episodes can be searched in text by Blogger now so I'll make this long post a little easier to navigate. Not like anyone uses this anyways I only look at my own posts lol good night
