[Switchblade]

Not bad. Not bad at all. Some good fight scenes here and a nice resolution to the plot. But honestly? I'm not really feeling Drive so far. We're backsliding into the two-episode arc format and the tire gimmick seems to be actively trying to out-goofy Fourze. I like Shinnosuke and Kiriko, but the rest of the supporting cast barely registers and I'm sorry, but I refuse to get emotionally invested in the Shift Cars. I really hope this ends up just being a slow starter and that the show tightens its collective tie in the upcoming weeks and really gets into top gear.

In any event, the best part of the episode was by far the 10 seconds of Black footage from that blu-ray trailer.
