I tried watching black and thought it was cool but I was busy all the time with homework and couldn't finish it. I also heard Gaim was kind of a favorite among regulars. Any suggestions?

I didn't like Drive much, but it does improve significantly in the 2nd half.

Ex-Aid is shaping up to be more of a multi-Rider affair than the last couple of years, so with that in mind I would suggest Ryuki and Gaim as shows to look at. Black is definitely worth watching if you want an older show.

Turn Up Scrubs did a scrub of it using Bunnyhat's 60FPS raws. I haven't seen TVN's versions, but from what I gather, they were about on par with their Hibiki stuff, which was almost unwatchable to me. So while not a whole new translation, still better than TVN.

So yeah, https://turnupscrubs.wordpress.com/ if you want to watch Blade. As you rightly point out, it has an iffy opening, but once you get beyond the first quarter of the show, it starts to take shape and is a pretty good show.
