Kamen Raidâ Seibâ

It's true that first arc suck because of pandemic but saber started to get better after episode 13. Final arc is one of the best and my favorite. Overall It's amazing season!

I really enjoy the story of this series and characters are well maded, I dont know why people rate this show so bad, but in my opinion this is a really good show.

So far so good, and I like the story and the action, but something is wrong. the character development is lacking, especially now it's ep13, please improve it in the future

After many consequences of people, there's quite a few argue saying this series was like a sentai typical things and flew off to be a boring series. Well, don't make me wrong just because I've stated my point of view. Since then, all people should agree with their own.

First thing first, the first arc of the series became faster as it try to catch some characters development or some new characters that will join in the series. Just get to the point that the writer or maybe the producer really try their best to give some conclusive chances for this series to shine.

Second, when the 2nd arc started, it just getting more to a mere excitements when the protagonist get into a conflict with the other swordsmen after rider espada dies and rider calibur 2nd user dies. As he in a big trouble, the writer make a move for the 7th swordman to appear which happens to be a veteran whom once sealed before.

All I try to state in the 2nd arc was that the swordsmen rider will try to battle the master of logos and both of his companies who happens to lay their eyes down on the swordsmen.

*Despite a lot of criticism, the plot start to exaggerating more after those actors start to act more than a complete comical personality

I don't have any idea if you could get it or not but this series still deserve to get some hopes just so it didn't flop like ghost or wizard. Plus, some statement saying that this series item were sell too much or too fast, yes, I kind of agree with it.

Just keep it mind that this is just a fiction story that didn't encounter on any biography's life of reality in history tales before. If you find these statements a little benefits then you are pleasure to share some personal point that could actually favor this up more.

8 rated stars for this; there's quite a few characters that were hated so much especially kenzan and some spoiling characters *but it didn't show off that much. There's also some beef about the marketing toys and merchandise that gotten faster than expected. It just a family friendly series that everyone allow to watch. Feel free for it, thanks.

Kamen Rider Saber follows the life of Touma Kamiyama, a young novelist and bookshop owner as he is drawn into a fantastical battle between warring knights, featuring fairy tale settings, dangerous monsters, and all while and meeting a myriad of characters along the way.

Kamen rider Saber is the second Reiwa Era Kamen Rider series and as such you can feel the show trying to find its identity. If you are familiar with Kamen Rider the first episode feels a bit like W or OOO tonally, but it shifts into a tone that reminds me of Kamen Rider Wizard and Super Sentai (please don't be scared off by that comparison though!)

Right now we are a little early into the show's run (I am writing this just a couple hours after watching the fourth episode), so it is difficult to gauge the overall quality of the show, however currently the show has a lot of potential, but is being held back by odd pacing and an upsetting overuse of stock footage.

The main strength of the show as it stands over the writer's previous contribution to the franchise (Kamen Rider Ghost) is the characters and acting. While the characters are still a bit flat everyone has defined personality traits, and no one feels too similar to anyone else. The actors seem like they are having a lot of fun, and in particular I quite like the actor for Touma.

I am a fan of the suits and fights, but this is obviously down to personal taste so your mileage will vary.

This show has a large focus on CGI, I was initially put off by this, and while I would have preferred more practical effects the CGI has frustrated me a lot less than expected, for some reason it just isn't bothering me as much as in other entries of the series. I've seen other people mirror this sentiment, but again your mileage will certainly vary.

The biggest issue in the show is likely the pacing. The show dedicates around 3 full minutes of its 22 minute run time to its "last time on" sequence, opening theme, ending theme, and "next time on" sequence. The show also uses VERY long stock footage for the transformations (think Super Sentai or Power Rangers roll calls), these happen multiple times an episode and can easily eat up around a minute of the episode. These can be irritating but no more so than in Sentai, if you already know Sentai roll calls bother you I doubt these will be any different. It is worth noting though these will likely be toned down somewhat as the show goes on, we've even already seen them skip two transformation sequences in episode 4 to save time.

The plot pacing in this show can be pretty rough, things just sort of happen, and sometimes things just don't happen... Episode 2 is a good example of this, it feels as though the whole episode is spent on fight scenes yet somehow there is also an overbearing amount of exposition, this makes the pace feel all over the place, feeling overwhelming yet somehow uneventful.

At this point is may sound like I am being quite negative about the show, so it's time for the plot twist... I LOVE this show.

Beyond all reason I have found myself completely enamoured with Kamen Rider Saber, and almost none of its issues really bother me very much. It is hard to pinpoint what it is about the show that has me enjoying it so much, but something about its presentation, writing, and tone are just amazingly enjoyable to me. I can't say for sure if this is simply a matter of personal preference or if there is some inexplicable quality to the show that makes it better than the sum of its parts.

As it stands I would suggest anyone hesitant to watch this show to give it a chance, and not to give up on it too early. The last couple episodes have felt like they are speeding the show towards some form of early plot progressions and I am expecting the show to be a very fun ride.

A 7/10 was the highest rating I thought was reasonable to give this show with it's current flaws, if the show improves or my enjoyment fades I may change this number and provide an update.

TL;DR: Give it a chance, and see what you think. I feel like the rating on this show is going to stay fairly low but please don't let that and my complaints scare you off, this show has problems, but it's fun, and maybe fun is all it is, but there's nothing wrong with indulging in something fun from time to time.
