I may skip forward to when it gets good one day, but if a show takes nearly 40 episodes to "get good" then you really have to ask yourself if it was really worth it.

I'm not. The show was hot garbage for the entire first half, it's not like there were just three or four mediocre episodes. I cannot blame anyone who bailed before it got good.

i'm not kind of guy that stick it out to watch crappy episode so i can get to the good stuff. its one of the reason i dont like gintama randomness in every episode is to much for and to have it for 200+ episode and god know manga chapter just to get to plot it so does get heared ant my thing same goes for drive ghost was fun episode

I think it was, honestly. Then again, I never thought Drive was ever absolutely terrible though. It was mediocre and forgettable for a stretch, but I always found some enjoyment out of it. I tend not to be very harsh critic, though. I've watched every Heisei series all the way through and while I certainly dislike some more than others, I can't say I downright hated a single one.

I understood literally none of this after the first sentence. Beyond that it was just words without meaning to me.

t made sence in my head while i type it

As someone who gave up Drive early on, I don't feel it was outright terrible. I just felt it was mediocre, and with over 40 more episodes looming over (And, since it was just airing at the time, no one knew whether it'd wallow in mediocrity or improve), I didn't feel it would be worth the time to invest. Knowing that it does improve is nice to know, and gives me some desire to actually finish it.

But it's surprising to hear that you don't hate any series. I'm a harsh critic, but I try to be fair in my feelings towards a series. I can't fathom how to not just loathe some series :lol

The only series I have issues with personally anyways is Hibiki, though I think a lot of people have issues due to that mess.

The first part of Drive I enjoyed, the middle part when they got all the toys over with was a bit iffy but the main villain plot kept me watching, but yes it was kinda meh.

The third part is when it gets good, and at the fourth and last part the show became really good, the characters drove the show really well and Drive if anything has some of the best characters in the franchise.

Personal opinion anyways.

I would say wizard is the weakest series overall other than Hibiki, but that is more due to the immense filler issues the show had.

Then again my favorite rider is still Decade, if only for the sound effects and the fact I get addicted to TCG and just flat out love the card gimmick riders.

The only two that come anything close to "hate" are Faiz and Decade. But even then I love visuals of Faiz, the idea of the villains is decent, and the theme is catchy as hell. Likewise, I enjoy the concept of Decade as a character; his suit design, and as long as you turn your brain off, most of the episodes are individually kind of fun.

I'll also say that while Hibiki is certainly far superior before the staff change, I thought the second half was better than I was told it'd be. It helped that other people had dragged expectations down to rock bottom for me.

I skipped it before it got good, because I didn't know if it would ever get good, so why should i risk torturing myself for something I don't even know will be good towards the end? I mean, I even waited until Mach came in, and Mach is a huge asshole on his first episode. that's when i quit.

Man I can't wait to get my hands on this...Are the subs already out for this?
