I'm just gonna say it:
This show is Riku Sanjou's "Faiz." It has good designs & interesting concepts but is held back through lackluster characters and story dynamics that don't work at all. Drive's sense of pacing is atrocious. There is ABSOLUTELY no reason why we have to be at the "two-episode" story format. The only reason thus far things have been padded out are Shinnosuke being an idiot & Belt not actually telling him a damn thing about whats supposed to be happening in the series. And "idiocy" is the greatest depth of character Shinnoskue has right now. He's boring and generic in fights and all but lifeless in between those scenes. I've complained before about Drive's identity being kept secret from the Special group for no good reason but right now it feels even stupider that no one can put together than Shinnosuke and Drive are the same person even though Shinnosuke wears the same conspicuous equipment AND operates the exact same car model only with one panel missing. So yea, I'm out.

They even talked about the fact that noone knows how Drive actually looks this Episode.

Yep, and they seemed to make a pretty big point about it in this episode by devoting a whole scene to it. They made it pretty clear in this episode that no one (of any importance) has really gotten a clear look at drive other than the fact that he has a red hand lol.

Just didn't watch episode 5 until yesterday out of forgetfulness, but then followed up with 6 today. Yeah. I am NOT a fan of returning to the two episode format. Together it's fine, but week-to-week I don't like being back to knowing what's coming next (Drive beats the monster or a new monster shows up, nothing else) and not having any suspense.
Also not really a fan of this particular two-parter because of how casually they treated some pretty bad corruption in the police. At least Crush is gone.

And I thought Den-O's giant monster train battles were bad…
Drive's car monster fights are even worse and just screams "hey kids, new toy is out! go buy it!" more so than past seasons…hell more so than Fourze. |

I really wished Rider would finally stop with this giant battles in Rider. They dont fit, they never did and I doubt they ever will. |
