I thought this was a really strong first episode. I was pretty skeptical of how interesting the gimmick would be and assumed the tire powers would be kind of lame, but seeing it in action completely changed my mind. I actually thought the action was the highlight of the episode, Drive's fighting style is just really cool to watch. I liked the villain designs as well, they have a very distinctive look that I think really makes them stand out among other Toku monsters, at least so far. Kiriko seems like she'll be a cool character too, I particularly liked when she showed up with Trideron and didn't even hesitate to take on the monsters while armed only with a pistol, that was pretty badass.

I'm really impressed with Drive's start, can't wait to see where it goes from here!

I sadly missed the live stream cause I went to see the boxtrolls. It was a good movie but still I missed the first drive episode! Now I must wait till sub's come out

I remember they are the same speed as AEsir. AEsir has their subs by Sunday or Monday.

Kinda forgot to mention we're doing this with 3T-PC but now I did.

Well, this didn't quite grip me like OOO, Fourze or W did, but I've got no reservations about sticking with it for a few more episodes at least. The music is good, the designs are nice, and the opening scene had a really cool aesthetic (gotta appreciate any night-time toku scenes we get). I think the tire gimmick just hasn't grabbed my attention yet.

Well... that was all over the place. Really breakneck pacing.

But that's every Rider first episode. They at least established mostly everything, so they can slow things down starting with the next.

Shinnosuke seems hilarious and Drive himself is fantastic. Awesome fighting style and badass finisher. Can't wait to see more!

The lingering attachment to the dead continues with Shinnosuke dead cop buddy.
