Yeah I have to admit I'm divided on this one. I'm really interested in myths but modern fantasy media has kind of lost me. I was obsessed with LotR as a kid but even that has kind of grown stale. I feel like a lot of fantasy has really conservative, nostalgic, sometimes even authoritarian messaging.

I was really excited about Saber as well based on the theme, but the execution (other than the suits, which were sick) just did nothing for me, it felt like the worst written series at the time. Same with Gotchard, the Alchemy theme was really exciting, I've always been interested in alchemy and have recently been studying it quite a bit. They did finally touch on some cool stuff near the end regarding the themes, but show mostly felt like an all-bread sandwich...

I'm still hopeful, but I'll remain guarded, its a little easier because while I'm enjoying Zeztz, Geats and 01 were 2 of my favorite riders, after more than a decade watching toku. Following those shows with Saber and Gotchard respectively was tragic.
