Saber... it's so weird, because I can't say I ever got on its wavelength fully, and yet I don't think it ever altered its approach to placate disgruntled viewers. It's like it just reached an equilibrium with me, where it was just Saber, no description or elaboration required. It did its thing, and I took what I could from it.

It's like, vicariously exciting to me to think that the back half of that series is what's waiting for you on the other side of the sorta-finish line of this years-long journey you've been on.

Geats is the easiest Kamen Rider show I've ever watched. I love the topics it was talking about in the first quarter (who is allowed to have dreams in capitalism; how dreams are turned into products and resold to dreamers; how dreams change and grow as we get older and learn about the world), and I'm psyched to see where it goes next. And that theme song! SO GOOD!

Also, "sorta-finish line" is right. Fun to catch up with the present, but these threads aren't disappearing after Revice.
