I tend to group it with Drive and Black RX as the shows that did a complete 180 for me over the course of their run (and I think it did so faster than either of those).

Yeah, I mean... you and I aren't really on the same page when it comes to Ghost (if memory serves), but I really came around on that show in the second half. I think it, like Saber, is a show that has a lot of interesting things it wants to talk about, but it doesn't really know the best way to do that. Ghost took a dozen episodes to figure out how to modulate its worst tendencies, and slow down its storytelling, so I wouldn't be surprised if Saber managed to do the same thing.

Rough sledding in the first quarter, though!

I like about 85% of Brave Dragon. I love the colors, I love the half-skirt (so medieval!), I love the way the dragon head is the pauldron and the arm is the flames from its mouth. It's as heroic a suit as I can imagine.

That goddamn headsword, though. I can't! It's too tall and wobbly!
