\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>In terms of pre-season expectations, The Fable<\/em> is the biggest premiere of the season so far.\u00a0 There have been qualifiers all along with me – the studio, the fact that I don’t know the source material, a director that hasn’t done much work in three decades.\u00a0 Add to that now we’re looking at a 25-episode run for a manga that has 22 volumes (I suppose it could get more but it seems unlikely).\u00a0 On the other hands it is a seinen, and an extremely well-regarded one at that – it won the Kodansha Manga Award in 2017.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>So, on balance, it’s fair to say I came into The Fable<\/em> cautiously optimistic.\u00a0 And that’s about where I am after the premiere, which was solid if unspectacular.\u00a0 With Tezuka Productions in charge I did worry that we’d be looking at another My Home Hero<\/em> situation – a much-lauded seinen crime saga tanked by a shockingly ugly adaptation.\u00a0 But while this was certainly nothing special visually, it wasn’t that – what we saw was clearly low-budget but tolerable.\u00a0 I’d say that about the direction too, which was competent almost to the point of mundanity and lacked much style, but didn’t really stumble at any point.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The Fable<\/em> is the story of a super-skilled hitman whose real name we aren’t told here, widely known as – you guessed it – The Fable.\u00a0 He’s killed 71 in six years, some big fish among that group.\u00a0 Fable<\/a> (Okitsu Kazuyuki<\/em><\/a>) is an extremely deadpan figure, businesslike about his work.\u00a0 His associate<\/a> (Sawashiro Miyuki<\/em><\/a>) handles the mundane stuff like cleanup, chauffeuring, and blowing<\/a> on hot food.\u00a0 Fable’s sponsor<\/a> (Ichijou Kazuya<\/em><\/a>) decides he’s been a little too successful and his reputation grown a little too bloated, and orders Fable to lie low in Osaka for a year with his assistant.\u00a0 If he kills anyone during that year, Master says, he’ll kill the both of them.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>It should be noted that mangaka Minami Katsuhisa is Osaka born and bred, and unsurprisingly the anime cast a Kansai boy in Okitsu as Fable.\u00a0 He notes that he’s learned six “languages” (in truth Japanese dialects) that he can turn on with a switch in his head, so authenticity was always going to be key here.\u00a0 Given that Fable – now going by Satou Akira, with his companion posing as his sister Youko – is going to be under the care of the local Osaka mob during his time there, Osaka-ben and local customs are clearly going to be a big part of this story.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Seeing that Fable is supposed to be pretty much a cipher here – derisive sneering is pretty much his only emotion when he’s not laughing at his favorite jackass comic<\/a> on TV – it’s not surprising that I don’t get much of a read on him here.\u00a0 Youko gives us more of her story – she was orphaned by a fire at ten years old and “for some reason” (I suspect because his group set the fire) Master took her in – and is a little more nuanced at this point.\u00a0 She’s clearly bright and playing dumb, or so it seems to me.\u00a0 One doesn’t envy her having to babysit “Akira” for a year.\u00a0 He almost blows their cover on the road trip to Osaka, not avoiding a confrontation with a couple of low-rent car thieves<\/a> in the rest area parking lot (though he doesn’t kill them).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The local yakuza are presumably going to be major characters too.\u00a0 The boss<\/a> (Komura Tetsuo<\/a><\/em>) is sanguine about taking this loose cannon under their care, clearly not having been given much choice.\u00a0 His captain Ebihara Takeshi<\/a> (Ohtsuka Akio<\/em><\/a>) is more worked up about it, referring to Akira as a “killer whale” (shark wasn’t big enough) in their midst.\u00a0 Akira has \u00a550 million in cash and the local boss is providing them housing, so it’s not like the guy has to work for the next year.\u00a0 This is supposed to be all about him learning how to be a “normal” person”, so what choices he makes about how to spend his time is going to be an interesting element.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Again this is all pretty solid stuff, if not yet compelling.\u00a0 Japan is not alone in being obsessed with organized crime stories so it’s not easy to break new ground here, but one has to presume the manga is as acclaimed as it is for a reason.\u00a0 None of my concerns going in have been summarily dismissed, apart perhaps from the production itself not being a disaster, but The Fable<\/em> hasn’t done anything to amplify them either.\u00a0 So it’s basically status quo heading into the second episode.<\/p>\n
