I'm not sure if it'll be as neat when there's like a bunch of them continuing even into Revice, apparently, but I appreciate the novelty of a little blue-screen dramatic skit where viewers like you get to literally be the extras who help Saber save the day. (And indeed, on the subjects of "why it's like this" and "what it's for", giving TTFC subscribers a chance to send in videos to be in a Kamen Rider thing seems to be the primary gimmick.)
But, yeah, I would 100% be into them if I were able to get my video cheering into one of the skits. That's a very fun idea from Toei. On that topic: it's very nice to see that the studio buildings were rebuilt so well after being burned down in Zero-One the year before, and being exploded by the cast of Zi-O the year before. Quote:
Rintarou's in a difficult position as well, since this isn't just a blasphemy against the faceless organisation, this is Rintarou's family that Touma's accusing. Regardless of whether Rintarou sides with SOL or Team Saber, he still has to take a side in that family and be prepared to fight people he cares about. Poor guy only recently picked himself up after losing Kento and now he has to deal with the fear of losing another.

Also, while I call this project a "optional filler", the rule I've already stated that all extra content is more important to Saber than to other shows applies to TTFC Theatre. In fact, I even envy you that you watch this show after it ends and therefore get to know this story in the order conceived by the creators (in general terms), and not imposed by external circumstances.

I love the Legion, but this annual... I can't imagine what Al Gordon and/or the Bierbaums were thinking. It is as Greetings Fellow Kids as I can imagine.

And this, this right here, is the moment someone at DC said "you know, maybe we should just burn this all down and start from scratch."

Not having any traumatic memories of lousy dark age superhero comics though, I do agree that "prodigious" works solidly as a catchphrase for a character like Yuri, but like, saikou *is* a word used in casual speech, so it's a much looser translation.

The thing I'm such a stickler about is that even though he's just saying saikou in the normal sense of "the best", the whole joke is that Saikou means "the brightest", so I'd kind of prefer a translation that reflects both meanings, which is pretty easily possible. You generally wouldn't describe a bright light as "splendid", which makes it a bit less obvious than my choice, but the root of the word still directly means "shining", so it's really a pretty smart choice in my book. I never really used Flame Subs for Saber, so I was pleasantly surprised to see that screencap.

Well there's only so much focus they can fit in an episode already filled with so much content. Sure, the focus is on Kamijo's betrayal here, but the window is still open to eventually learn more about the Megid trio, other than just being evil book gangsters.
Also, uh, "drug money"? 0_o True, but they've been here for a full 1/3 of the series, and their motivations are still nebulous and backgrounded, but in a way that's struggling to connect with the SOL betrayal arc which is pushing them even further away? I'm struggling to explain, but it's much like Jin's revival in 01 ended up being - a question that, sure, might be answered some day, but the longer it goes, the more I feel I'm just not supposed to be asking. (Being nebulous here to both avoid spoilers and to reflect my own feelings at this point in the show, I don't want Die to find out the Book Gangsters are just trying to void their library fines from Tassel.) The Drug Money is a Dopants joke, seemed like the weirdest MOTW thing removed from context. Could've said "existential breakdowns" too tbf. Meanwhile oh god we're doing American comic books

Hey so this is obviously quite a ways off, but I just noticed this bit from the schedule in the first post of the thread. There are six episodes of the anime, right? Is this bit just a mistake, Die, or could you not track down the last two?

Looking at that schedule myself, I'm curious why you're keeping the Sabela/Durandal special and Trio of Sin till after you watch Revice? I promise there's no Revice or crossover movie lore in them!

All I could track down, sadly. Also, I had no idea there were more than four episodes, because I couldn't find a listing for the anime on the wiki's Saber page. If anyone's got subbed versions of the last two anime episodes, please let me know!

I want to say the wiki had the continuity as happening after the crossover movie (years later?), so I figured I'd just get to it later. I can maybe move it around, depending on how deep into March this show takes me.

Trio of Deep Sin is a distant epilogue kind-of deal, while Durendal/Sabela is presumably set when it came out. Neither mention any of the Revice crossovers.
