I think I've watched enough Rider series to say that it's not the best, but not the worst. They're trying real hard to match the hard boiled approach of W, but giving it the comedy timing of Oren's bits from Gaim.

The most interesting thing comes in Heart's machinations.

I wouldn't necessarily say I hate Drive or that it's the worst Rider series I've ever seen (Hi, Decade!) but it's really failing to maintain my interest outside of Gou and Chase, who are pretty much my main reasons for watching the show. Shinnosuke's not a bad character, but he hasn't had much internal conflict since the beginning of the show. You'd think that with Chase being revealed to be Proto-Drive, that would add an interesting dynamic to Shinnosuke's character arc, but nope. They kinda just introduce that plot point, and then it's back to status quo.

It feels like they realized that they didn't have enough plot for a 45+ episode series, so now they're trying to stretch things out, but I don't like it, and from what I hear, Wizard had the exact same problem.
