Kiva's biggest problems to most people are the time travel stuff, things that only appear once or twice (Fake Fuestles, Shudoran, Buroon Booster etc) and love triangles.

I think I've narrowed my next Rider series down to either Drive or Kiva. Since I'm enjoying Ghost, a series most people say is pretty meh, I figured i'll just go with a series that interests me, as opposed to a series that is universally praised (and accidentally set the bar too high). Right now, the two series that interest me the most are Kiva and Drive.

So...should I watch Kiva or Drive?

Kiva

Go with another show like W, OOO, Gaim or even Kuuga. If you enjoy Ghost, you should also enjoy Den-O as well.

I'm specifically avoiding those shows because they're so highly praised. I figured I'll save the really good ones for later on.

Kiva

Kiva is definitely not a show that is often highly praised. XD

But I really like it, and it has the best suit designs, too.

Watch Faiz. There's a show that doesn't get praise.

Kiva.

These men speak truth. Watch Kiva.

I'd recommend Drive first, then pouring bleach in your eyes instead of watching Kiva - far more pleasurable experience.
