Don't know where else to put this but I just really love this fight scene from Zi-O Final Stage Show. I love Grand ZI-O so much.

Does anyone know the viewing order for Den-O? I'm using the playlist from Google Drive and it has all the episodes and probably all the movies.
Should I just watch all the episodes and then the films? I'm assuming most of them all take place after the series proper and are canon |

Been hearing interesting things about recent Saber, so I've started getting caught up after not watching since episode 5. Got through episode 8 tonight, and so far it feels like a bit of a chore to watch. The suits are great and the fights are fun, but the cast seems bloated, and the story hard to follow, though that may just be the fault of Genm Corp's subs. I wish Overtime would come back to Saber now that it seems clear the rumors of official subs were nothing. I like most of the Riders though, Rintaro and Ogami are top tier, Touma and Kento are pretty good at times, and Ren is obnoxious. Also very excited to see Daishinji become a Rider with such an incredibly over the top suit next episode. Started off the series really not liking Mei either, but her being in love with Rintaro boosted her character into being legitimately likable. Oh, and there's also the villains, who have so much character and charisma that I almost his post without even remembering to mention that they exist. I couldn't even tell you which which one is Storious and which one is Legiel in their human forms, or tell you anything about their personalities. I only know Zooous because he's the feral one without sleeves. And Calibur I understand has some interesting stuff going on later, but for now he feels like a less interesting version of Night Rogue

Each episode feels as if it's being worked on by someone who has only received a synopsis of what happened prior and is making it up as they go along. Please contribute to my crowdfunder in an attempt to hire an editor for Saber, lol. I do actually have a soft spot for Mei though, and I think that as the show goes on, she is possibly one of the show's few assets, especially her reactions during action scenes in later arcs. I also think Genm are doing a really good job subbing it and I'm constantly grateful to them for how quick they always are with putting this stuff out. |

I agree with you on Mei, I would actually rather she'd had more development and less focus on the more prominent blander characters, like that slightly hipster-type protagonist! I am still up in the air as to whether I will catch up/get back to it eventually but also Tassel doesn't help, I really was starting to hate him!

I'm try and find a positive note to end this on, but all I've got is, well, I like Tassel more than Ren, lol. |

My big issue with Saber is the pacing. I don’t think there are too many characters, but it feels that way because they were all thrown at us in the first five or so episodes. I wish they’d handled the Riders more like Den-O did with the Imagin: new character appears in a two-parter, then there’s a two-parter that focuses on them, then we get the next character. Ren would still suck, yeah, but at least I’d have a better sense of why he sucks so much.
As for Mei, I’ve been really pleasantly surprised by her. At first I thought she was just going to be obnoxious comic relief - she gives me big Shunpei vibes. She’s really grown on me a lot in the last few weeks, though. It’s almost like sequestering most of the cast off to the side and on,y giving them one or two scenes allows the other characters room to grow or something. Also, her posture has been improving; the constant bending over annoyed me a lot for reasons I don’t understand. |

I digress. Yes. Basically. I agree. Again, I absolutely agree, and it seems crazy to me that she's now the most developed and consistently portrayed character in the whole show. |

Oh god, don't even get me started on Tassel. He feels like what homophobes think gay people are like!
Very excited to hear that! I always love when an annoying comic relief character can turn out to be legitimately well written. She definitely reminds me a bit of Akiko like that
