Overall great episode! Not sure if anyone's mentioned this but, I swear, when Kiriko zipped her boot up they played the Helheim crack noise.

Yyyep, still can't find this uploaded on YouTube. Anyone else have more luck? :lol

Found a stream on DailyMotion, just had to find it through google. I had the same problem though, I guess no one has uploaded to Youtube just yet.

I usually just get it directly from the sub group's site. It's a lot easier than trying to scour the web for a (potentially) low quality upload.

A good episode, with likeable characters. Maybe the cars looks too much at the gimmicks trains in ToQGer. I can't remember who had the "Kamen Rider Michelin" sig but that was exactly that !

From a storytelling point of view, I'm not a fan of the classic first episode formula, when the writer MUST throw all the new Bandai toys to our faces.
I prefer slower intros that covers more than one episode and that take its time to let exposition gradually in.

Ah, I alwasy forget Dailymotion still exists heh... I'll check it out when I get home today, thanks!

especially, when the midnight shadow shift car/form didnt get released yet, they only time they didnt throw gimmicks in one episode was w and ooo, they were both using the gimmicks that came with their drivers luna in w and mantis in 000 and nothing else.

they should be using the forms that came with the belt because people bought the drivers for their debuts and should be used accurately.

Fourze also only used the four switches that came with the Driver in the first two episodes. Same goes with Gaim who only used Orange Arms in the first episode of Gaim :)

We literalliy knew nothing about Drive or his combat style going in to this episode, so I don't really get what was so inaccurate about it…

Same thing with the two series you've mentioned, Toei has 45-47 episodes a season soooo why drop all of their eggs at once?

Very excited to see how this series progresses, also it's my first Rider show that I'll be following from start to finish (hopefully) on a weekly basis (started Gaim almost midseason). Definitely interested to get to know Kiriko and her backstory, she's a very intriguing character thus far. The Drive Driver reminds me of GekiRyuKen in some respects.
