Sanjo gets hate for Drive????

that's funny because I'm one of the few who would think backwards. The writing of W... :sickface:

I do also wanna bring up that there were like three writers on Ghost; and Fukuda mostly worked on the first half -- the part that's generally regarded as the best portion of Ghost, as well as the summer movie and Sin Specter.

Oh, right, and he was the secondary writer on a little thing called Ultraman Max!

Ghost's Summer movie also felt like an idea that was meant for the main series but never happened so was put into the film instead. Was a really good idea and premise with a better ultimatum for Takeru compared to Ghost's actual endgame.

As stated, never judge a series by its staff list.

Oh wow 5 good guys riders in one go? This like super sentai but its kamen rider version...lol
Remind me of hibiki

Tokyo ska paradise, i watch their concert before and they are awesome

Not bashingly hated but disappointing perhaps? At least for me Drive was in general disappointing because it felt like a rehash of Kamen Rider W here and there. I still liked certain parts and the ending was decent thankfully, but the overall experience felt lackluster because of said disappointment.

Ehh, then I say we give him a chance. But they better do this in one of the episodes.

Touma/Saber: C'mon senpai, I know you waaaaaannnnnntttt it*dangles candy bar from a fishing rod*
Rintaro/Blaze: DAMN YOU NOVELIST! I SHALL REMEMBER THIS!*drools like crazy while trying to catch candy bar*
Kento/Espada: *passes by with Ren* Hey, it's Touma.
Ren/Kenzan: It's that damn novelist.... *grinds Hayate on whetstone*

Basically Ren already to me is a mixbag of Sour Grapes Micchy from Gaim and Kusaka from Faiz. :lolol

First I'm hearing of anyone being disappointed with Drive.

At most I hear people say how bad the first few episodes...When really they're not, they're just par for course for the start of a new series.

I think Drive initially suffered from "Previous Season" syndrome where it had to follow up Gaim where, regardless of individual opinions of that show, when it came out it was a huge fan-favorite series. In comparison to Gaim's uniquely dark, character-driven narrative, Drive took on the more standard, light-hearted, episodic format of your standard Rider season, which gave it a run-of-the-mill feel early-on.


By the 20s, it really started gaining its identity and became a really, really good season. The villains became more fleshed out, our core cast was expanded upon and we started to see the direction the show was headed in.

Soooooo Kamen Rider Saber first impressions, yay or nay?

He was not the secondary writer on Max. He did two episodes.
