Low bar but this show definitely isn't as trashy as it looks. Watched it as a teen and just watched it again as an adult to see if it was as raunchy as I remembered (it is not lol).
Pros-
Female lead with an actual personality at odds with societal expectations but who's totally worth rooting for. In terms of ecchi anime shes definitely a more interesting character.
It promotes healthy sexual and romantic exploration with partners. The shows ostensibly about how comedically horny the lead is actually secretly about how young people should navigate both sex and love with other young people.
This show actually shows tits! Wow!

Animation: Not sure if im really educated enough on animation to describe whats wrong but theres something just off or maybe cheap about it.

This is more exposition and intrigue heavy than the first or second seasons, and also presents a lot less urgency or threat. For that reason the second half of the season really starts to feel a ...

Fable is one of the greats in adult animation. Every episode is of consistent quality and there's a perfect balance over the season between plot/dialogue and the action youd expect from a story about a hired killer. Its also very funny which I wasnt expecting and the humor reads as a bit western to me (not really like a gag manga or trope-y).
I really wanna emphasize what I mean by adult animation because yes the tag is "Seinen" but not all Seinen meet this level of quality. The show takes its time with things and handles them with finesse: basically every character youre introduced ... |
