So 9 months after I got back into Tokusatsu, it took me that long to start watching another Kamen Rider series, the last one I saw was 6 years ago(Ryuki).

I started Kamen Rider Drive and from what I've heard people don't really like it, but I'm really, really enjoying it so far!

I dig the aesthetics and the structure of the season, integrating a detective story with monster doings and even bringing connections from civilians and the main characters themselves, it adds for breaking connections and character development from the characters.

Shinnosuke might just be my favorite rider protagonist so far. The guy really reminds me of myself more than any other toku character that I've encountered before and seems to be a good balance of a guy who can have fun, but when he needs to he can step up his game and fight against evil and for his friends, people and justice. Also to see a rider protagonist struggle with everyday struggles for some people is really heartwarming to see and it connects the viewer to the character more.

Kiriko is also awesome, I enjoy the antics between her and Shinnosuke and she seems to be the action girl of the series, assisting Shinnosuke and everybody while being to keep her own ground. I heard her character worsens as the series goes on by multiple people so I'll enjoy her while she lasts

Villains are interesting; I like how Heart and Brain are both pretty intelligence and powerful, but Chase intrigues me the most. He's like an assassin, but he reminds me of a Kamen Rider and it goes for a two sided blade of Drive and Chase, and he isn't all evil.

And Surprise Drive is awesome, no doubt.
