Kaiju no Kami Reviews - Kamen Rider Drive (2014) Series
Aside from premiering on the exact 35th anniversary date of Skyrider’s debut, there’s nothing too notable to note about Drive’s production history. Riku Sanjo, the head writer of W returned to helm the show. The most remarkable thing Drive had going for it was being the first series since Black Rx to have its lead hero drive a car rather than a motorcycle. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, Drive’s biggest hurtle was coming after the masterpiece that was Kamen Rider Gaim. Is this a series worth riding in? Or should you drive right past it? Watch to find out.

If Drive was a Reiwa Era season, Kiriko definitely would have become a Rider at some point. And its nice to know the Leader of the Seatopians was able to find a new lease on life after the whole "Jet Jaguar" incident and decided to start making motorcycle based Rider powers instead.

He wasn't the leader of the Seatopians, but one of the soldiers.
Shinnosukes quirk with his tie actually makes sense. Having a sort of "ritual" you perform before doing certain tasks can actually help you to focus better an said task. There are multiple psychological studies in that regard that even proofed this. I sadly have forgotten the scientific term for it though.

I mean......god. I don't know where to begin with this show, because I LOVE it so much! I won't lie I was doing a drumroll of worry in my head towards the end of your video regarding the grading, which I do agree of it having a 4/5. It was for all the reasons mostly. Drive hasn't had me this excited for a Kamen Rider series since W, OOO, Fourze, and Gaim. Also, what made me especially happy with the show was that the Police got to be a big part in a lot of stuff, whereas they were deemed incompetent in previous shows (Save Kuuga and somewhat Agito). Also also, the group had me laughing so so much in a lot of episodes! I forget which, but I had to stop one episode for a moment to recover because my ribs were hurting from so much laughing lol And damn, they pulled through when it mattered in very serious moments! Thank you for doing this review! This show means a lot to me personally, so I'm glad to have other fans talk about it :)

I agree with you about how cops are portrayed in a lot of Toku series. Okay, granted, recent events in the US have changed my perspective, but I prefer it when Toku shows took them seriously like Agito and Kuuga did. It's one the themes I talk about in my panel on Sugimura because he started his career in crime dramas, so he usually had the cops in his Toku series be serious. Anyway, there was one show that turned me off called Ryukendo right from the start becasue the cops were worse than Storm Troopers when it came to shooting monsters. Glad you enjoyed the review. 🙂

@@TokuAndAnimationNewsNetwork I remember Ryukendo actually having some pretty well-executed comedy, and the last quarter of the show actually being decently serious once Ryujinoh is introduced. Yeah, the production's really cheap, so it never feels cinematic in the way that a lot of Toei's shows have attempted in the past, and the CG can be pretty abyssmal at times, but it's far from the worst. The spiritual sequels improve on the portrayal of emergency services a lot, though, Rescue Fire in particular.

I'm going to keep this one short as possible too. I enjoyed Drive as well I asked for a a main Rider to be a cop and well here we are and Shinosuke is one of my favorite main protagonist but Chase is about equal in the favorite department however my favorite rider in Drive is Zero-Drive because I just like proto type Kamen Riders. I do think when it comes to the monsters of the week they had more compared to Gaim and at least one Roudmude was beaten like every episode. And you now that I think about Drive was basically a Kamen Rider Dragnet season. Like without the narration of what time it is and an update of what they're doing.

When Drive first aired i wasn't too sure what to think of it on my second rewatch i learned to actually really like it even entering my top 10 sure the first half of it is repetitious though those episodes weren't all that bad, the second half however is amazing i really loved how they executed the other half, the storyline with Shinnosuke and Nira is one of my favorites in the franchise, the endgame arc is also beautifully written and Chase's death hit really hard (yes harder than Grease's death) My problems with Drive -Despite learning some details in regards to him, Banno is a weak antagonist though not as bad as Maki from OOO, Giff or Gifu from Revice, Sh- i meant Storious and Solomon from Saber and Narutaki from Decade -Characters with glasses don't have the fun kind of comedy (Brain still had badass moments though) -Whatever the heck that Sangou movie was (yes it's worse than Super Hero Taisen Z) Now i give you a salute as you watch Kamen Rider Zi-O (hope you have a better time than i had) what is your least favorite thing about your favorite rider season and what is the best thing in the season you consider as the franchise's worst.

While watching Drive eversince, it became my Heisei 2 Phase Top Rider must be due to the Tridoron (visually modified 1992 Honda NSX). As years gone by, I tried to Google the cast mostly put of boredom (in Japanese) so here's what I found and gigs after Drive. Ryoma Takeuchi (Shinnoauke Tomari/Drive): main character in I LOVE YOU TILL THE WORLD ENDS aired in Nippon TV. Chris Peppler (Krim Steinbert/Belt-san): still works in FM radio and occasional host in NHK World Tokyo (since 2008, my favorite show for over a decade). Oh he was one of the main host for KZread Fanfest Japan 2015. Rio Uchida(Kiriko Shijima): launched her own KZread channel in 2020. Rei Yoshii(Rinna Sawagami): married Shigenori Yamazaki in 2016 but won't be able the bear children due to the bone marrow transplant. There are other old photos of her gravure days. Still active in gravure business. Kenta Hamano (Kyu Saijo): composes music using his nickname HAMAKEN (mostly were jazz) and still in the Japan music industry. Tsurutaro Kataoka( Jun Honganji): he occasionally guests in some reaction shows on the TV if I recall. But a rumor floats the he was affected by Covid 19 that I wish it's not true. Yu Inaba(Go Shijima/Mach): dude had many movie and TV appearances after the Drive gig. Fumika Baba(Medic): appeared in several TV dramas after Drive. This is my rantifull info I gathered.

I don't think I've ever seen a main Rider actor ever been involved in a LOT and plethora of content when his series was out like Ryoma Takeuchi himself. Kamen Rider Drive itself was the perfect return to form after the insanity which was Gaim and THIS is the way to go after a world-building ride like Gaim. Ghost had nothing to expand upon and its lessons from defeating the main villains really didn't make any sense and the character's motives such as Ryu Tenkuuji were questionable at best. Drive here was starting a formula that should've crashed and burned with a car rider but ended up becoming a celebration of what KR is, no matter what you ride or drive in this case. Even Stan Lee saw how amazing Ryoma is before his passing. Ryoma might be one of the only Rider actors to meet such a legend as Stan. He even reminisces of how amazing his time as Drive was, even till this day and that's saying a lot. The whole show is basically like Megaman/MM X. Robots hate humans because of something their creator was and this won't be the last robots vs humans season we'll have since Zero-One and Zenkaiger would touch upon that tho Zenkaiger, not so much tbh. And yes, that opening is badass. It reminds me of the Dragonar opening: kzread.info/dash/bejne/e6h3r7pscZTXkag.html Play us out, Eternal: kzread.info/dash/bejne/mGRsxtKPes6Zo7w.html&ab_channel=MitsuruMatsuokaEARNESTDRIVE-Topic

Just ignore the rider show and there's no such as Favourite , We could honestly ask the same question to that The main problem in the entire KR series was called What's wrong? if you don't fight you die! me: intense Ryuki moments. Let’s be real: Fourze won’t get anything this year since most of the cast were Retired. My Hottest Opinion take about toku = -Ninninger and Zyuohger is best classic Sentai、-Go-busters was another best classic Sentai、-Megaranger and Goseiger is best and interesting Sentai、-Ghost is Really Cool and Decent、-Fourze was one of the most underrated riders、-Faiz was Infamous and awful dude to Inoue Ruined Hibiki and Decade、-Wizard's 10th is better than Kabuto's 15th、-Kiva was an better rider season if the writer wasn't Inoue.

Faiz's ending was already ruined before Kamen Rider 4 even came out, thanks to Heisei vs Showa that caused a number of retcons to Faiz's ending, it didn't help that Takumi was a major character in the movie and his struggles was a big side plot to the Heisei vs Showa riders nonsense.

This is gonna be an unpopular opinion. I watched up until episode 13 and couldn't get into it. I understand that things got better from around episode 20 but there was one part of ep 13 that didn't sit well with me that I gave up KR altogether. It's a shame as well because I was blown away by Gaim and I expected Drive to do the same but instead it ruined my interest in KR.
