In The Gaiden of Geekdom

It's festival time and the robot club + Eizouken have to pull off a massive heist to get people in the doors for their joint short. Finished just in time, the voice actors have to perform their lines live! Great Pretender is an original animation written by Ryota Kosawa and directed by Hiro Kaburagi, full of international heists incorporating breathtaking backgrounds in the style of Brian Cook/Batsford. We discuss the genre, the music (Great Pretender theme performed by Queen!), and the voice acting in both! The alternate title for this episode was "Danny Ocean Avenue."
