#Crunchyroll Says Great Pretender Razbliuto is a “Film,” Reveals More Screening Details

Following the announcement of Great Pretender razbliuto‘s January 9 and 10 North American theatrical screening dates, Crunchyroll has provided more information about the Great Pretender sequel and its upcoming cinema release.

First, Crunchyroll describes razbliuto as the “first film from the Great Pretender franchise,” confirming that the theatrical release will feature the anime in its entirety instead of just the first few episodes of a larger season. There’s an official synopsis as well:

It’s been three years since WIT Studio captivated the world with the dizzying tricks and ingenious scenarios that emerged from the “GREAT PRETENDER” series.  Now, this all-new action-adventure film follows Dorothy, the self-proclaimed genius con artist who recruited the infamous Laurent Thierry to the life of crime. This time around, she has been defeated at her own game by the Shanghai Longu Bang and is thought to be dead, but she soon reemerges in a small seaside village. Pursued by the underworld of Taipei, she heads to Kyoto, but what will she find waiting for her there…?!
