i discovered two shows this month: great pretender and restaurant to another world !

★ great pretender

this anime is about a young man who regards himself as the best con-man in japan-- only to be conned himself! the series follows his [unlikely] con adventures along with like-minded people.

the visuals in this show is fantastic. the colors are vibrant and they’re totally my jam. case in point:

once i start a case, i tend to binge it until the end haha. it’s very intriguing to know how it would end, because there are always wild cards around. although sometimes, just don’t think [logically] too much and just enjoy how the con unfolds~ xD

★ restaurant to another world

this anime is exactly what the title is-- a restaurant to another world. every saturday, the door to western cuisine nekoya (that’s what the restaurant is called) opens to a different world much different from planet earth. in that world, elves, dwarves, magicians/sages, humans, and half-humans exist, who would enter nekoya to dine. it’s pretty much just that; so yes, it’s a slice of life reverse isekai with lots of good food! aka a relaxing show uwu

i initially discovered the original light novel of the series (the anime is an adaptation of it) through the seven seas monthly licensing survey and decided to try it out. i like it so much that i’m on a quest to find physical copies of the light novels! it seems like volume 1 is out of print everywhere, so i decided to get the ebook instead. if i have extra funds by the end of the month, i might go ahead and import volume 2 *w*
