1. I want to know SO MUCH MORE about her past than what was revealed in the game and anime. I want to know about her tragic relationship with Mordred. I want to know who Mordred's father was. I want to know exactly what her "mistakes" were and why she blames herself for the fall of Britain. I want to know how and why she broke through the gender barrier of the time, even when she was a child, even before she pulled Excalibur out of its stone. I would find any of that story material far more interesting than her modern relationship with Shirou.
2. In the anime, it takes too damn long for her to show up.
3. Her merchandise scares me. I love to collect PVC figures and models. There are a LOT of Saber figures out there, which means that there are a lot of good ones... And a lot of astounding sexy, creepy ones. And then there's this (http://nenena.livejournal.com/49793.html). That's the stuff that makes me slightly ashamed to be a Saber fan. Well, more than slightly ashamed. And it makes Saber-goodies-shopping an uncomfortable experience. I was in Tokyo last week, and I found this fabulous model shop in Shinjuku that had a whole section devoted to Saber figures. Unfortunately, the whole section was... Well, it made me really uncomfortable standing there being forced to look at figures of Saber displaying her breasts and panties, just so that I could dig out the fabulous Good Smile Company PVC that I scored. Plus the heavy-breathing fanboy that was right beside me the whole time and kept staring at me like OMG a white woman with boobies! droooooooooool made me want to get out of there as fast as I could.
Wow, that turned into a rant about a lot more than just Saber. ^^;;
