Kamen Rider Saber 1x01 reaction & review
Added 2020-09-16 12:01:24 +0000 UTCHey everyone! Here I am with Kamen Rider Saber episode 1! I absolutely love this series so far! Our main character is really likable and wholesome, he has a fun, sassy friend who makes things even more fun, and the visuals - just, WOW!!! I love the whimsical subject matter - the books coming to life, pages literally turning, etc.! The suit design is awesome - one side is pure dragon, and the other side looks scorched! A "hot" design for sure! ^_^ The villain designs looked pretty cool too. They are just getting better and better with effects! Also, why does our main hero keep having that recurring dream??? A mystery is sure to unfold! Can't wait to see more! Enjoy! ~ MH

No worries, glad you're checking in! Hope school's going well! Glad to hear you're liking Saber! The concept is really awesome for sure. It's so fun to lose yourself in the somewhat limitless worldbuilding that a fantasy story provides!! I hear you, I'm already finding the details of Saber to be more complex than Zero One - for me, that's not a bad thing as I tend to get lost easily lol, but it is a bit more like a puzzle so it's fun! The fan fiction sounds good, hope you enjoy the rest of it! And hope you enjoy the next ep of Saber! See ya soon!! ^_^

2020-09-26 11:46:30 +0000 UTCSorry I’m late to the party. School delays a lot. I find saber fascinating so far. The books literally creating a new world is an intriguing idea that I’m 100% on board on. Fantasy is my favorite genre, not merely for the characters, but also the incredible world building. When reading (Harry Potter is one example), I dive into that world that’s so not like reality and think “I wish to be there if only to explore the complexities and dive into the unknown”. If Saber continues to build on their rebuilding of the world, they’ll keep my interest. While I enjoyed Zero One, I admit to having been bored sometimes. I wish for Saber to maintain my attention. Speaking of Harry Potter, I’ve read this really interesting (though still not done, I’m waiting for the next update) fan fiction, and it’s really intriguing. I do hope you give it a read. With how late I am to this, the second episode is already out. I’ll go watch it now. Cya Mei!

2020-09-25 20:27:02 +0000 UTCYay! So excited to start another series! Thanks for all the info - that's very interesting about the slots on the driver, hmm!! And good question about the swords! I'm so excited for my tour of this Isekai Kamen Rider World!!!! XD I can totally see the W similarities in the suit, and so cool that it aired on the 11th anniversary of W!!! Curious about the black and white space....! Oh my gosh, I'd go crazy if they brought in Woz's books!!! XD Thanks again for all the info!

2020-09-17 13:29:04 +0000 UTCOh my gosh, you know what, he does look like Abed!! And act just a little like him! (I love Community!!) I hear you, they give away a little about what to expect, but not a whole lot, in the first ep. In general, I've found it takes a few eps to kinda gauge a series as long as Kamen Rider and Super Sentai ones tend to be! So ep 4 sounds reasonable! Speaking of Super Sentai, they called and they want their ending back! :p Lol!!!!

2020-09-17 11:28:11 +0000 UTCI noticed that one Blue guy that was lurking around this whole episode looks like a japanese Abed(from Community) and acted a *little* like him. Now I'm going to have a hard time unseeing him as Abed. xD I'm going to wait until episode 4 to see how I really feel about Saber. The first episode did do a good job on first impressions, but I also feel like I didn't get *too* much of an idea of how the world works in this episode. That's probably solved next episode for all I know since I'm going in as blind as you. The transformation scene gives me heavy Ryokendo vibes, but I think we all feel the Super Sentai vibes from that ending sequence. xD

2020-09-16 20:08:38 +0000 UTC"Rekka Draw! Brave Dragon~! Rekka Volume one, When the courageous dragon and Kaenken Rekka meet, the crimson sword will penetrate evil!" Welcome to the world of Kamen Rider Saber! Oops! I might have to say, the story of Kamen Rider Saber! This series is based on a lot of books and fairy tale! The hero Kamiyama Touma wear the "Seiken SworDriver" and fight as the flaming dragon swordman, Kamen Rider Saber! This series is somehow an isekai genre Kamen Rider. The series claims to be about the story between 2 worlds and the evil who tried to create new world from merging a section from real world with another world, and destroy it. The gimmick item is called "Wonder RideBook" and the Transformation gear is "Seiken SworDriver" which you could called "A Holy Blade SworDriver"! There is some text engraved on the driver, but we now gonna talk about the driver first. This is not the spoiler, since the information is released by the official before the first episode aired. The SworDriver has 3 slots to insert the Wonder RideBooks, but you can't just randomly put it there. The first slot on the left side from the viewer's view, that's a slot for the "Mystical Beast Book" such as the "Brave Dragon" Saber used. That's why he inserted the book there. So, imagined what are the other slots for? The sword Touma obtained is "Kaenken Rekka" or "Flame Blade Rekka", it's the sword of flame. Well, if there is the sword of flame, what are the other swords gonna be? The story is just started, we will see even more books and even more blades soon! Enjoy your stay in this Wonder World! Think about it as a tour to an Isekai of Kamen Rider Worlds! Fun Fact: Due to the pandemic and the filming place problem, this series seems to used a lot of budget on the CG. The CG is rendered using "Unreal Engine 4". And that's how the another world presented. Coincidentally, the premiere date of the series hits the 11th anniversary of Kamen Rider W. And when the rider design released, people claims that he's like Double. Well, it's some kind of 3 sectioned Double since Saber has Red-White-Black sides on his body. What are black and white space on his body? It's gonna be filled when he inserted another books for sure! Well, I wonder if there is a Woz's Ohma Advent Calendar books to inserted there. And someone created it!

2020-09-16 13:51:20 +0000 UTCSorry about that, like the description says, the file is still processing in Google Drive! I believe it can be downloaded and it will be full high quality that way. If it's still low quality later today I will try to upload a second copy of the file.

2020-09-16 13:32:09 +0000 UTCI'm calling it now purple Kamen Rider is the little girl who got sucked away in the dream why I think so 1. Why show us a character that won't return so early in the story 2. When a masked character is shown it usually means we know them 3. Although referred to as he in Kamen Rider wiki purple Rider aka calibur does not have an actor/actress playing him outside the suit 4. It would make the hero feel like garbage to know that he has all this power now yet the one person he couldn't save when he was younger and one of his best friends is now the villian set on destroying everything 5. Last but not least it's gonna make the whole dying thing easy he's gonna find out it's her about to finish her hesitates she takes advantages and kills him then he's brought back by the power of friendship idk Kamen Rider really likes the power of friendship

2020-09-16 13:26:31 +0000 UTCThis first episode was very Sentai-like! CGI transformations, the monster growing in size, an ending theme!! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
