I'd be super curious to see what anyone who wants to check it out thinks. Mind blowing revelation? Total bulls***? Or maybe just an interesting perspective?

I disagree with the fundamental points being presented, but that post inadvertently hits on a lot of my big criticisms of Gaim in a way that's a bit more elegant that I usually am. Especially the bits about Kouta. Case in point:



It was certainly fun seeing those sentiments echoed back when I first found this shortly after Drive premiered. I've lightened back up on Gaim A LOT since then, but this was an interesting reminder of why it ended up rubbing me the wrong way back when it aired.

I love Gaim but I hate that part of the ending. They went on and on about how great Kouta is and how much he wants to go against the system, fight fate and not have to sacrifice, yet he did the opposite. Should've been Kaito who won, at least he would've brought out his ideals instead of succumb to something against his character. Heck, I rather have Micchi win.
