That person should never be allowed to reproduce.

I can see what you're saying, though. Drive does seem to be trying to go for a lot of big laughs after how dark Gaim got by the end. It's just that nobody seems to be putting any effort in trying to actually be funny.

Thats the point though since I dont think Sanjo normally writes this way. And I admit up front that I´m a giant Sanjo fanboy so take it for what its worth

To me it just feels like alot of the humor stems from some of the executives wanting to put silly humor in it as opposed to the writers. Like with Shunpei in Wizard who was unbereable and then they put Beast in and he was just Shunpei 2.0 and the show got even less funny. With that show we kinda know that the writer did not care for Beast so thats why he wasnt the greatest character and Shunpei is probably a result of Tsuyoshi Kida mostly having written Den-O stage shows.

With Riku Sanjo though I dont think he would go for so many cheap laughs unless something is up behind the scenes that forces him ( and hasegawa for that matter) to include them in the show.
