Nope, I haven't, but I very, very much look forward to it. However, I promised myself I'll tackle Faiz next. I want to continue watching some Heisei shows and Faiz... I want to get it over with. I heard so many bad things, some good things, that I want to see this now. I actually wanted to do this before watching Kabuto, but then I just started Kabuto anyways and couldn’t stop.

I want to save Blade it so I have something to look forward to even if Faiz is terrible for me.

And with Drive... it's difficult. I liked it early on, but then the show started pissing me off. I like Shinnosuke, Kirioko, Chase and Mr. Belt, but the SIU... god I hate them. The forced comedy is so bad. The show started getting repetitive really fast, and then came Gou. The guy who's such a cookie cutout of a secondary Rider that it hurts. He's butting heads with Shinnosukle for no reason other than being a dick, he brings nothing new to the table aside from another problem for the main cast to worry about, and he's just so… ugh. Can’t stand that dude. Even though admittedly his whole shtick with the role call was fun and the Mach suit isn’t that bad.

So the show was just nothing for me at the time, it had its moments here and there, but it lost me. I continued watching and around halfway through when Shinnosuke starts investigating his dads murder case it got really good, but it was still filled with all the things I didn’t like about it.

I always admitted and will continue to that Drive, overall, is a decent to good-ish show. One of those where the first half is decent to terrible but then it really gets going. However, it’s a matter of taste, and I’m not a critic. I don’t have to judge fairly and give a rating while looking at all the pros and cons. If I don’t like a show, I don’t like it, so it gets put low on the list.

Of course it could be higher technically, like Den-O had absolutely no plot and was very light on the character development, Drive did all of those things better overall, but I had more fun watching Den-O so Den-O goes up higher.

But if it means anything to you I’m think that Drive will go one spot up once Ghost is finished. Because I dislike that show even more currently, and I’m fairly certain that no turn-around and no epicness of the second half can save that show for me. The only thing I still need to think about with Ghost is if I dislike it more than Wizard.
