The car is gorgeous.


We've come along way from Rideron and just being a car shell over a frame

And if it doesn't happen on that date or before, man I will laugh. Stop trying to predict a company you know little about. You aren't in these meetings when these press conference dates are planned. We don't know the exact reason why Drive's press conference has broken the tradition. And we don't know when that press conference will be.

I'm gonna be a prick, quote this post, and laugh because I was right about the press conference. +1 for me.

By the way, if you aren't looking at tumblr's Kamen Rider Drive tag (or that kamenriderdrive blog) or /m/'s /krg/ you're missing out on all the press conference news, people. Omori is producing, Riku Sanjo is writing, bunch of more cast were confirmed, etc.

Asahi website is also up: http://www.tv-asahi.co.jp/drive/

Wish someone could translate it. I'm really anxious for the information!

Riku Sanjo - Screenplay Ninja'd by Seraph.
Mitsuru Matsuoka - OP Singer
Tasaki Ryuuta - Director

While I'm happy that Riku Sanjo is writing, I'm worried about the show going back with the 2-episode format....(then again, Riku did write for Kyoryuger)

Tasaki worked on Gaim so I don't think we'll go back.

「バイク」から「車」へと乗り換えたとはいえ、「ドライブ」は人間とマシンが共闘する「仮面ライダー」の原点に立ち返るシリーズでもあります。「仮面ライダーシリーズ」のモデルチェンジを図りつつも、同時にルーツを描き出す

It's going to be a combination of returning to the roots of the franchise while also exploring new territory.


Black inspired confirmed.

Taikou Katoono (the 2010 Junon Boys winner - remember that Gaku Sano was the 2011 winner and Shunya Shiraishi the 2007 runner-up) is playing Chaser. Mashin Chaser???

According to tumblr and tv asashi, it's gonna be a police/detective drama. The hype is real!

Oh wait, Ohmori and Sanjo are back. Great, another year of fanservice and every female character being a guy's love interest! (Of the two women in the main cast, apparently the heroine is "beautiful and skilled in combat" while the other is a scientist ... who does that sound like? And Drive is reportedly motivated by the death of a detective he used to work with. I hope Sanjo won't turn into Kobayashi, constantly repeating the same character types ad nauseam)

God forbid a show have fanservice. Not like Kyoryuger pandered to women with shirtless Daigo, or how the homolust in Rider is fan service for women. Or hey, maybe they're going for the lesbians with fanservice. Those exist.
