The Sato siblings really are...something. Akira in particular needs to watch who he gets involved with. Guy looks like the type to always get into some sort of trouble, again like in this episode. Youko also seems like an airhead at times.

On another note, I find it funny how Akira takes care of his weapons. Such a bizarre individual but I want to see more development for the guy.

And so starts the Satou siblings' new life without crime.

The Satou siblings meet with Maguro-Gumi's leader, Hiroshi Hamada, and his deputy, Satoshi Ebihara. With the condition of non-interference from each other, they begin their new life in the house provided by the organization. However, an uneasy atmosphere hangs over the two of them. On the first night in Osaka, while exploring the city, they encounter trouble on their way back from a nearby bar. However, Akira demonstrates his skills as a professional and handles the situation smoothly.

Akira's got cheats installed; that's why he can switch to the Osaka dialect and see the guns. But seriously, why would the young guns even bother once their boss is killed? It's like risking your life for no reason. Anyway, when he dropped the gun while giving it a whirl, it made for such a great scene—I'm not too sure why. Then you've got the idiot with the nose hairs; he must want to get himself killed... he acts like he’s their boss or something. Even if you don't trust them, it's the boss's order; it's none of your business, second in charge. If you want them out, then have a hole in your body and bye-bye. The entire fight, while animated poorly, just made it ten times funnier to me, lol. It reminded me of seeing Cid fight or something.

Couldn't even last a day without getting back into violence... that's a pro for ya.

Fable is as genius as his craziness. His "pretending to be normal citizen" game reminds me of Under Ninja.

Trouble always has a way of finding Fable, doesn't it. Luckily, he managed to easily get away from the kickboxer dude with some pro-level sandbagging. Hoping to see more of the neighbor who's always in a hurry, and of course more Jackal.

So far I'm having fun.
It definitely does not have the best animation (I mean there's barely any movement in most shots).
The writing, though, is good enough to make the show enjoyable.
It's impressive how many steps ahead the Fable is from everyone else, and that's apparent every moment he is on screen.
If he uses his skills as he did in this episode against the kickboxer and the... other dude(?), it might not go that badly.
(I'm sure the above sentence will age very well 🙃)

@phantomfandom Yeah, just like Under Ninja this anime has a a fantastic mood, style, or whatever you can call it. Too bad people just don't seem to like this kind of anime, judging from the score.

It was a bit better than the last episode, mostly for the “fight” where he pretended to get beat up. Animation and art style aren’t really great but I think some of the jokes are good. But I imagine they just worked better in the manga. Hopefully it keeps me entertained enough to not drop but we’ll have to see on that one.

Well this show is still nothing special and I’m sure if a different studio was doing it then the show would be probably viewed a little better, but unfortunately it’s not and so far this show is just average, but average is better then bad or horrible. The humor is good and the VA and music are pretty good as well. So far can’t say I hate the show. Looking forward to next week’s episode.

The show consumed 1 volume with 2 episodes. The show consists of 25 episodes. The manga consists of 22 volumes. So, we may have 2nd season,
as far as he keeps that slow tempo speaking.

akira sold that really well, he's the goat and we got our other girl now, i didn't realize she was voiced by hanakana. this adaptation is still really disappointing though (read the manga instead) and i'm not expecting the visuals to get better so i'm just gonna stop commenting on it, unless it gets worse.

I feel that this episode was even worse than the previous one. It felt like nothing really important happened and again nothing out of the alleged skits felt funny at all. The only thing that shined in this episode was slow brained mc's flawless ability to find the spy cameras (and people complain about op isekai protags).

If everyone is complaining about it and you're the contrarian, maybe it's a YOU problem. Or maybe it's an issue that can be solved with a good pair of glasses.

@Kimurah the problem here isnt that people simply dont like the anime. they take the worst aspect of a story (the visuals) and make it their main complaint. Choosing a certain style isnt what is making a story bad. Just look at the old One Punchman or Mob psycho manga from One that made it through even though the author is unable to draw well. A good story needs a good foundation and that needs time. for that this show did mostly well setting the location, mood and characters in two episodes. "Nothing meaningful happend" in these episode is willingly ignoring any worldbuilding. you appearently didnt understand that the critisism here isnt that people dont like the show. It is because they give bad reasons why this show is objectively bad (which it isnt from my perspective).

"The Fable" anime series this season was one of the weaker serial anime I've watched, both in terms of story and art.

Regarding the story, it was expected to present an engaging and thrilling narrative, but unfortunately, it failed to meet these expectations. The character development and plot twists appear flat and predictable, diminishing the overall appeal of the story.

Moreover, from an art and design perspective, it didn't meet high expectations. The visuals and animations seem slightly below today's standards and lack the detailed and special effects.

Overall, despite the ideas and potential it had, "The Fable" couldn't execute them well. It seems it failed to capitalize on the elements that could have made it engaging and successful. Therefore, if you're looking for a quality serial anime, "The Fable" might not be the best choice.

This is fucking great; Fable the pro at work.

The quality did see a noticeable drop compared to the previous episode; but everything else is pretty good.

The low score is kinda weird to see; but I guess to each their taste.

Im currently re reading the fable and watching the anime as it airs and the anime really cant hold a candle to the manga

Its really apparent in the "how would you kill me and the boss" scene. The comical overtones theyre trying to push really dont translate into the more serious and cool scenes. What was a really cool scene in the manga was quite awkward in the anime. 

A lot of the scenes seem to transition kinda awkwardly and didnt have the correct flow to them. 

I also really dont like how theyve drawn Yokou and Takeshi. Yokou loses so much of her beauty and Takeshi really loses his intimidating aura. 

Still enjoying it though!

@Kimurah No, I think it's a Kimurah problem. Since you're the one trolling multiple forums, always with the same method. And most importantly, you never leave despite "disliking" the show so much. You are leaving now, right?
