Wizard is a good comparison. So far, I'm finding that Saber - like Wizard before it - is having trouble executing some genuinely interesting ideas.
I kinda liked this episode. My biggest problems are the problems I had with the first two episodes: the pacing and the acting. It felt like less was skipped over, but there were still places where the story jumped ahead faster than it should have (I'm especially thinking Saber and Blades suddenly in a monster fight after the opening credits). Similarly, I wish that I liked the big fight scene more, but the overuse of transformation and attack stock footage absolutely killed the pacing there, too. I get that it saves money and possible Covid exposure, but it's reaching R/B levels of over-use.
Touma and Mei's actors really need to tone it down. I almost always hate comedic overacting in tokusatsu and these two are the worst examples we've had in quite some time. Mei is already on par with Shunpei for me in terms of being annoying. That's still sub-Onari, but it's still way up there. I am interested in the Rider Dad's story, but he's another case of over-selling the personality and I find it hard to sympathize with him much.
