The Fable – 10

The Fable – 14

The Fable – 19
What I found myself thinking a lot this week was how poignant this story can be.
The Fable – 23
As much as anything, for me this is a series for viewers who appreciate acting.
The Fable – 05
While the humor is somewhat hit and miss, there's a generally absurdist tone to this material which I quite like.
The Fable – 07

The Fable – 17
I don't think you'd pick anybody in a head-to-head with Akira (or Fable), but Utsubo is clearly no one to take lightly.
The Fable – 11
With all these elements colliding, it would be a good time not to stand in front of the fan.
