I also actually enjoyed this episode; I've said numerous times that the main thing I love about Saber is its cast, and it's used to great effect in this episode. I've heard people say that Saber gets better after its first arc, and considering all of the 'rising action' going on, I'd assume we're getting close to when most people agree that Saber improves, and considering how much I enjoyed this episode, I'd probably agree.

There are still some things that weren't that great to me personally, there was a lot of transformations in this episode, and while a lot of them were off-screen, it still felt like a bit of padding, though this isn't something entirely unique to this episode. Also, they seem to have this cliffhanger making you think Rintaro might die, even though it's extremely unlikely for that to happen, and it just doesn't leave as much of an impact.

Besides those things, this episode was honestly pretty good, which isn't something I could state about many of the previous Saber episodes so far.
