At this rate, I'm not sure I'd want to see him helm another series.

We're gonna get a really cool and unique series where the writer changes to Sanjo halfway through and ruins the entire show

Maybe this is a trade off for having a great support character (Kiriko) in recent years.

Yeah dude. I honestly feel like some of the shift cars have had more development than Shinnosuke lol

For all this talk on drive's quality I feel it could still have a blade like turn but then alot of the potential for that was squandered by stalling plots such as the focus on chase on the plot and character especially kiriko.

The other big problem is that it has too many toy gimmicks like fourze even though drive has less than fourze did and that the show is playing things too safe like Wizard did.

I guess in that case the problem is that it takes too much from prior series especially the problems of the series it seems to be taking the most from.

I would probably put drive on the lower end of rider series because it does have some brilliant moments bu there is not enough which saves it from being the worst rider series in my opinion.

You know, I will say this in Drive's favor: I still want to watch it. There's no temptation to jump ship like I usually do with Super Sentais that bore me.

[MaskedRiderAsakura]

Drive might be the one series that I haven't enjoyed that much.

I am saying this having only watched Gaim (good but seemed like an obvious break from formula purely by looking at its own crossover episodes) and a very small portion of the original series (good but as far as I've got so far, fairly formulaic) but I'm mostly enjoying it. Sure, the secondary rider is damn annoying (although he has become less so since his initial appearence) and the rest of the protagonists and main antagonists are more interesting than the main character but it's still fun to watch and there's definitely a plot there, even if it's disappointing sometimes.

Yeah... it's tragic and sad knowing Gou is going to die...

I thought Kamen Rider Drive wasn't that boring (I admitted that ToQger wasn't boring)

I felt Riku Sanjo shouldn't work with Takahito Omori who is the head producer of Kyoryuger and Kamen Rider Drive.

If I was Riku Sanjo, I will not work with Takahito Omori because Producer only care for money, not story!

Because yeah, Riku Sanjo is clearly a selfless author only caring about bringing people entertainment without even asking for money...

I also wonder if Riku Sanjo found out about Kamen Rider Drive's Drinking Game?

Take a shot whenever Shinnosuke eats a milk ball. Two if someone else does.
Take a shot every time Mr Belt shoves*Gratuitous English*into his dialog (not counting Tire Exchange phrases).
Take a shot for every "TAIYA KOUKAN!" Two if a new Shift Car is introduced.
Take a shot when Genpachirou mispronounces a word.
Take a shot whenever Chief Honganji makes a weird face or reads out his fortune. Be sure to call an ambulance beforehand.
Take a shot every time Heart talks about friends or friendships.
Raise your glasses and take a shot for every Rider Kick.
Take a shot every time someone says his catchphrase. Two if it's Gou. Three if someone interrupts it or lampshades it.
Take a shot whenever someone gets in "top gear". Two if it isn't Shinnosuke.
Take a shot whenever Shinnosuke's tie mysteriously undoes itself.
Take a shot whenever two riders fight each other. Two if it's a movie, three if Decade or a past rider is involved.
Take a shot every time Chase is just waiting on his bike for Shinnosuke to drive by in order to fight him. Take two if Chase drives by to fight him.
Take continuous shots for the duration of every*Sherlock Scan-flashback. Don't stray too far from the bathroom or a speedial for the hospital.
Take a shot every time they hint that Mashin Chaser and Proto-Drive are the same person. Any time after episode 14 doesn't count, since they outright said it already.
Take a shot whenever Shinnosuke acts like a dork. Two if its over his horrible*Literal-Minded*naming sense.
Take a shot every time Chase pops out of nowhere. Brace yourself. It´s his favorite way of entering the scene.
Take a shot for every time that Chase is brainwashed.

This seems less like a drinking game and more like a surefire way to get alcohol poisoning.
