So far - and my opinion on the show has been improving - I’ve found Saber to be pretty bad. It’s really interestingly bad, though.

You can pretty much guess how I feel about Saber. Given my signature...

Saber has been fun, imo.

But really, this encapsulates how I actually feel about it.

I can't remember if I said this but I'm sorry to say I've decided to give up Saber, at least for the time being. It may be a bit harsh considering the other Kamen Rider shows I gave up in the past I think I had more obvious issues with and I did sit through all of Wizard which was also a bit boring but I just struggle to care about a lot of the actual main men in the show and I'm currently watching a lot more TV shows in general than I have for a while, plus I'm going through a bit of a Sentai phase so I thought it might be best for a change to just have a break for a bit!

EDIT:Oh, apparently this is my 200th post, cool!

I'm not enjoying Saber too much, but it's still the best Kamen Rider has been since like May and it's only getting better so I'm willing to see where it goes.

Looking back, I think I got sliiiightly too excited about finishing Zero-One yesterday. I hadn’t watched a modern Rider in a while, okay?

I also wouldn't have minded if Super-1 ended there. Because the second half is... not very good IMO.

This comment hurts me physically.

I will be honest with you I'm enjoying Saber more then I have ever enjoyed Zero-One. To me alot of Zero-One has been soured. I admit Zero-One was more well structred and better executed but It just Zero-One was the most dissapointing Kamen Rider show in the last 5 years to me. Nothing about the show makes me mad or anything and I'm not sure sure if that better or worst because if I'm mad at least I can say I was passionate about it.

I think the thing is Takahashi just always forgets what his show is about by the end so it's replaced by kinda generic (if enjoyable) drama, but Fukuda always has a consistent vision and follows through on it.

Yeah, have to agree here as well. Zero-One is for me the best example that a good structure does not make a show automatically enjoyable. Saber has problems, a good amount of them even, but, I'm having a blast. I enjoy the characters and really look forward to watching the episode's life.

Right now, I'm more invested in the future of the Saber Riders than I felt for the ones in Zero-One at any point.

I'm having fun, something I never felt as strongly in Zero-One compared to Saber. And honestly, that's kinda what matters in the end. No matter how well-executed your show is, if it can't make me enjoy it, it will ultimately be a worse series for me.

Zero-One became boring for me during the whole work saga thing, although it did pick up again once Ark-Zero entered the fray.

Personally, they should've had a few more episodes with Aruto as Ark-One to shake up the traditional formula more. Oh, and Thouser's 180 personality flip was not convincing for me. No, I don't care that a cute robot dog was involved, it just felt so forced. At least hint it in the previous episodes as to why he hates machines so much instead of just the "humans are superior to robots" thing.

Vulcan, however, is a treat to watch anytime he's on screen.
