In the city-state of Japoness, which is [[{{Wutai}} modeled after shogun-era Japan]], industrious orphan Otaru struggles to make ends meet. Too poor to afford a marionette of his own, he runs back and forth through the city trying to scrape up enough cash to live on with a series of odd jobs. In the wake of a mishap during one such job, Otaru finds and awakens Lime -- a marionette who acts more like a real person than an automaton, loaded with emotions, curiosity, and an unfortunate tendency to attract trouble.

''Saber Marionette J'' is a series of light novels that are ''very obscure'', and would probably remain so had the creators not made a Radio drama taking place 500 years after in the future, ''Saber Marionette R''. ''R'' follows Virrey Junior, prince of [[OliveGarden Romana]], and his Marionettes, named after the ones from ''J''. It was eventually adapted into an {{OVA}}, and most likely lead to the novels getting an AnimatedAdaptation. The anime starts off as a light comedy, but [[CerebusSyndrome slowly turns more dramatic as time goes on]]. It generally has a healthy mix of humor and suspense, and is a CultClassic to those who watched it, [[GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff especially in Latin America.]]

It was subsequently followed by several sequels, most notably ''Saber Marionette J Again'', an OVA revoling around a new Marionette and ''Saber Marionette J To X'', a second and final season. There's also a videogame for the first Playstation called ''Battle Sabers''. [[NoExportForYou It never was released outside of Japan]].
