Live-action adaptations of manga are a booming business in Japan. While this trend is not applauded by everyone – a proliferation structuring the business, one cannot deny that the potential these narratives have often led to enjoyable end products – e.g. “Moteki” (2011), “Rurouni Kenshin: Kyoto Inferno” (2014), and “Tokyo Ghoul” (2017). Is Kan Eguchi, an unknown director with a limited oeuvre but with excellent credentials, able to adapt Katsuhisa Minami’s manga “The Fable” in something worthy of our time? Let’s find out in our review.

There's some corporate shuffling going on over at Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. Given the company's recent troubles, you would be forgiven in thinking that someone within the group had received the axe, but it's actually quite the opposite. Kaz Hirai, Scei's president and chief-executive officer, has been promoted to the position of chairman, effective September 1. His vacated seat is filled by Sony Computer Entertainment Europe president and chief-executive officer, Andrew House.
Hirai's promotion is brought about by the retirement of the group's current chairman, Akira Sato. Sato is retiring in August. Sony also announced that Ken Kutaragi, the "father of the PlayStation, will resign his role as honorary chairman of the group, effective June 28. Kutaragi will stay involved with the company, taking on the role of "senior technology adviser."
It's strange seeing Sato and Kutaragi departing from primary positions in Scei, as both men have played such a pivotal role in the PlayStation brand's history.
