Saber Marionette

I'm wondering if people here have seen Saber Marionette and what do they think about it. Me? It's my favourite anime series.

Which series?

SMJ was a lot of fun and J-X was good, but not great.

R, however, killed my children and set my home on fire with its badness.

Yeah, I really liked J and J Again. I have't seen J - X yet, and I've never even heard of R.

R, as far as I can tell isn't in continuity. Its an OAV revolving around a young prince and three marrionettes, just like J.

Thery're even named Lime, Cherry and Bloodberry, but they're very kiddie versions.

But the show is much darker, revolving around a fight against masochistic marrionettes called sexi-dolls.

Yeah, I'll probably stay away from that...

I got bored after episode 8 or 9.

I like all Saber Marionette, though my favorite one is J.

"J" is really funny and innocent. A very good pastime.
"J Again" is about some OVAs between "J" and "J to X". It's Ok, just a short story which could have also been some chapters in J. The animation is a little bit better (OVA budget).
"J to X" has some crazy "alternative animation" (not so extreme as in Evangelion, in any case) which makes it pretty dense. Not to say that the most of the chapters come with a depressive mood. But it becomes a little beet disproportionated (sometimes even annoying) the sad atmosphere and the still screen captures. Last two or three chapters are touching though.
And "R" has been already described. It is in a future when there are already human females in the planet. And it takes place in one of the other countries (I forgot names already, I've seen all that 4 years ago).
