Noel is born as the grandson to the strongest seeker known. However, once he begins his training, it becomes quickly apparent that his class type will never allow him to become the most physically dominant seeker, so he goes hell bent trying to become the most powerful through other methods, by nearly any means necessary. While Noel does follow a set of morals, some of his actions and decisions can be absolutely vile leading both the wicked and the innocent to suffer. These despicable actions do appear to pull at his conscience, but this is what it takes to rise up in his world, and he'll allow no-one and nothing to stand in his way on his ascent to power.

This anime has been keeping me enthralled with its mix of battle and strategy (the strategy being reminiscent, though not quite as adept as the Moriarty series). This series is currently at the top of my list, as I look forward to how many lines Noel is willing to cross and if he can amass the power he's dreamt of to rival or surpass that of his grandfather.

Fable is funny from the start, but it's my type of humor so it might not be for everyone. The humor is based on ironic situations and the unexpected events that play out around one of the deadliest and enigmatic assassins in the underworld, especially when he's trying to live and act as a normal human being during his sabbatical.

The writing sets up the characters will, from the MC who finds joy in the simplest of things like a low brow comedian with terribly written scripts, to his various "attempts" at normal life. The group that agreed to host him and his administrator are set up really well too, as some try to protect the group from what they perceive as his potential bad influences on the org, to other weebs who fanboy at his skills and accomplishments. Fable inspires the type of trouble you don't want to get mixed in yourself, but which you wouldn't mind posting to IG from across the street.

This anime man.... It's really about the mc, more than it is about Kailju. Mc is a well written, likable character and you can't help but get caught up in his ups and downs. You feel for when he experiences hopelessness and despair, but his hope and heart are just infectious as he does his best to live his dream of joining the defense force. When the kaijus are up and the chips are down, and Hibino gives it his all...all I can do is smi-cry. The comedy and timing are fantastic, as is the choreography of the score in the climactic scenes. Everything comes together and builds towards great feel-good moments as Hibino fights his hardest every step of the way to pursue and fulfill his dreams of glory within the defense force.
