You ask me what kinda anime looks like that The Fable? Ain’t seen nothin’ quite like it, I tell ya. But there’s some that got a little somethin’ somethin’ that might scratch that itch.
That Fable, he’s a tough one, ain’t he? Killin’ folks, that’s his job. But he’s gotta lay low now, pretend to be a regular Joe. Hard to do when you’re used to, you know, endin’ people’s lives. Makes for some funny moments, that’s for sure. He’s a real killer, that’s a fact. But this story, it ain’t just about the killin’. It’s about tryin’ to be somethin’ you ain’t. And that’s where it gets interestin’ to watch.

So, you want somethin’ like that, huh? Somethin’ with a little bit of action, a little bit of comedy, maybe some folks tryin’ to live a normal life when they ain’t so normal? And must be realistic. Alright, let me see what I can remember from those shows my grandkids watch.
First one that comes to mind, is, uh… I don’t recall the full name. That one where the guy, he’s like this Fable fella, good at killin’, but he’s gotta pretend to be a family man. It’s realistic animes. He’s got a wife and a kid, but they don’t know his secret. They are all killers, or know some magic, but no one knows others’ secret. It is fun. He’s tryin’ to do right by them, but his old life keeps poppin’ up. It’s kinda funny, kinda serious, just like Fable.
Then there’s that other one, Sakamoto Days. Now that one, it’s a bit more silly, I reckon. This guy, he used to be a big-shot killer, but now he’s runnin’ a store, tryin’ to be a regular husband. Lots of folks tryin’ to kill him, though. So he has to fight back, but he don’t want his wife to find out. Lots of fightin’ and yellin’ in that one, I like it.

- Sakamoto Days is more comedy, you know.
- That Fable, he’s serious, but this one, it’s more fun.
- But both of ’em, they got that “used to kill people, now tryin’ to be normal” thing goin’ on.
Then there was that, uh, Monogatari, I think the young’uns called it. Now that’s a strange one. Lots of talkin’, not as much doin’. But it’s got that same kinda feel, you know? People hidin’ secrets, tryin’ to live a normal life, but they got all this baggage. Not my cup of tea, but maybe you’ll like it. It is pretty, I give you that. Pretty weird, but pretty.
There are lots of anime, you know, about people fightin’. Some are good, but they ain’t like Fable. The more realistic animes like the fable are those have a good man, and he is a killer. These animes are not easy to find. I think many people like animes like The Fable.
But if you want somethin’ that’s just about fightin’, there’s plenty of that. Guys with swords, guys with magic powers, all that stuff. It’s fun to watch, I guess, but it ain’t got that same heart as Fable. Fable is a killer, yeah, but he’s got a good heart, deep down. He’s tryin’ to do better, even if he don’t always know how. That’s what makes it special, I think. That’s why I like this anime, even my age is very big. I also enjoy it.

Anime like The Fable, well, they got that same kinda thing goin’ on. People tryin’ to be better, even when it’s hard. People hidin’ who they really are, ’cause they’re scared of what might happen if folks found out. And people are always want to find more realistic animes.
I tell you what, findin’ a good anime is like findin’ a good man. There’s a lot of bad ones out there, and sometimes you gotta sift through a whole pile of ’em before you find one that’s worth keepin’. But when you do find one, it’s somethin’ special. You hold onto it, you know? ‘Cause good ones are hard to come by. I hope you can find the anime like The Fable you want.
And you know what? Even if these other animes ain’t exactly like Fable, they’re still worth watchin’. They got their own stories to tell, their own things to say. Just like every person’s got their own story, even if it ain’t always pretty. Each one is special in its way. You can watch those anime if you have time.

So, there you have it. That’s all I can think of right now. Maybe it ain’t much, but it’s somethin’. Hope it helps you find what you’re lookin’ for. Just remember, there ain’t nothin’ quite like that Fable. He’s one of a kind, that’s for sure. But these more realistic animes like the fable, they can give you some fun. They are all good animes.
