Thouser Merch apparently really wasn't selling, gotta do something to get the kids / fans to pick it up. Turn him good, have all the other Riders steal it, anything!
In other news, I finished up Saber the other night. And.. was fine? Idk, I've had a couple of days to think it over and the most novel thought I've had is that the "year after" epilogue should have been like Double, and taken up the entire final episode, rather than the sudden Revice crossover. Also, Touma can just take the Wonderworld job, and then come back to Earth, because main character powers. What a chad writer.
In non-Touma news, all the other characters are here because the gang are a team, which is why they're going to job for two episodes before all sacrificing themselves. The fight scenes are good, they just feel very disconnected, like the Riders need to be around to do something, but they're sequestered off in their own fights away from the main plot. Storious's motivations are fine, but man do I wish he'd done more than just mysteriously lurk for 40 whole episodes before doing anything. I get that modern Rider works on an arc structure, and in the past you could complain about the villains either sitting around for a season doing nothing, or just keep getting clowned on all year, but Storious combines the worst of both worlds - he's around, but is constantly overshadowed and vague for 90% of the story. The Meggido on the whole are lacklustre, always outshone by Calibre or the internal forces of the Sword of Logos, so that's not super surprising, but As for Mai saving the day by posting an AskReddit on "What story means the most to you", that actually landed pretty well for me. Saber has been, at times, about what stories tell us, how we bond with others through them, and how we use stories to hlp us through difficult parts of our life. And, in a time when semingly every character has to put on a belt and tatakae, having the non-action one be a vital part of the solution works wonderfully.
So, my actual opinions? Mixed to say the least - I certainly enjoyed parts of it, but on the whole? I'm just not sure. Maybe this is what I get for watching in batches, or maybe I'm just too old. Or too burnt out irl. Everyone seems to be enjoying Revice, but my motivation just isn't there.
Anyway the best part was when Ren pulled out Dezast's book to beat forgettable endgame mook #1. That and Primitive Dragon saving Touma's life. Honestly, I'm a sucker for when an outlevelled power up comes back because of emotional significance, and Touma's bond with this dragon child being part of the key to saving the world? Beautiful.
