This is... pretty fascinating stuff! It seems the entire dynamic of Touma with everyone else completely changed; where if I'm reading it right he was one of those Riders like W and Build who was a Rider before the series started. It's interesting seeing just how actively on his quest to save Luna he was originally

Him being a Novelist just, connects so much to me what with me being a writer (Who just writes fanfiction but still!). The little stuff about his writing slumps and ideas at the start were great. And then them coming around full circle at the end with Storious and the final battle, that's definitely what made Saber's ending strong to me. |

Saber never clicked for me, but Touma being a novelist who was suddenly thrown into this wonder world of swordsmen and magic that he's discovering and making friends with one by one... that's all so right, to me. The way they did it didn't work for me but it's impossible to imagine Saber with any other identity than that

Also, I just realized Diago Speedy is a reference to DeAgostini. The book publisher for motorcycle collections. |

The original plan for Buster, Kenzan and Slash's swords being reverse-engineered (so to speak) from the Swordrivers make way too much sense. It would certainly explain their ability to only use one book while the Swordrivers can use three. Kind of wish they kept that aspect.

In any case, happy 5th anniversary to Ex-Aid!! First episode aired 5 years ago today

I woke up and there is new info again.
-There was an idea where someone else was supposed to pick up Espada and Kento would stay as Calibur. If it were to be kept, it would have been an entirely new character. It was scrapped since they wanted the main three reunited. -There were complaints heard that Sophia did not do much in the show. Chinen-san had musicals conflicting with the show, so they had to accommodate that. She was satisfied with her ending becoming Calibur, and everyone seems to be OK with that. -There was no intention to age up Luna. She's supposed to represent the childish wonder in everyone, but SHS casted an adult version of her, so the change was decided. Luna is still the childish wonder, but now you have to mature still. There was an ending considered for Saber where young Touma and young Luna were going to have a second chance at childhood in Wonder World. -A lot of characters were planned to die in the show, but because of the current state of things, they wanted to keep it light hearted. Everyone lives! The cast knows who of which were to die but surprise they didn't in the end. Maybe one day that change however... |

Literally one of the most terrifying sentences that could ever be thrown out. ... Well, I guess at this point V-Cins do just kill off a lot of guys, huh?
Aside from that and Luna in general I get and agree with all these changes. I've seen people complaining about the Espada part but that one made a lot of sense to me thematically; Saber done a great job of tying the individual's identity to that of their Rider form and blade so much that when Espada was gone, that's because Kento was gone, so it made sense no-one else was picking up that sword. It's what makes the unity of the three Swordriver Riders once again such a feeling of victory, of everything just being right again after they had split apart and Kento had become the dark swordsman. Y'know, at some point I think Saber is gonna be a Ryuki/Faiz situation for me where despite not enjoying the show I respect and understand what it's going for and all the decisions behind it so much I may one day come around to just flat out liking it a little

I don't find Ryuki and Faiz to be the same proposition! I just find Ryuki really good whereas Faiz and Blade more just had their moments and I probably remember some of the visuals and stuff more than the actual characters.
