[Switchblade]

For me, Saber is a show that I tend to associate with Black RX and Drive: three shows that I thought started off really weak but that eventually found their voice and turned into something really fantastic by the end. Between the heroes and villains it probably had more characters than it really knew what to do with most of the time, but I think it generally did a good job of doing justice by the majority of them.

I will always look back fondly on the time when Touma, Mei, and Yuri were the main active characters while everyone else just hung out in a library getting gaslit by Reika. I loved the whole storyline around the Primitive Dragon books and how that was ultimately resolved. I appreciate Kento for cutting past several episodes of misunderstandings by just openly explaining his plans and motivations. I respect the show for finding a way to take its worst character and give him one of the most emotional fight scenes in the entire series. There's a lot to credit this show with, but these are probably the elements that stuck out to me the most.
