Universal Quantifier got through like the first 13 and Anime Sols picked up the rest. You can find complete versions of Hurricane Polimar now because have is U-Q and the other half is Anime Sols. Polimar is complete and out there in the wilds.

Watched several more Polymar..13,14,and 15. Nothing crazy. Just more show.
In 13 Polymar fought a butterfly gang that used hallucinogens and someone tried to Hire Joe ...his first client! $500,000 if he could find someone. He finds them, calls in the location and it turns out it was the bad guys out to find an informant looking to squeal to Polymar if they could ever find him. Joe got em killed. Polymar fights Butterfly in a hallucinogenic fucking weird fest and wins.
In 14 Joe Keruma didn't wanna play detective because Polymar would just save everyone and he'd get no attention, then he had a dream about putting on a blue bucket he found from a witch to turn into Typhoon Holamar and upstage Polymar, then he wakes up and finds a bucket and hilarity ensues.
In 15 Terumi was told to stay behind as they go looking for Piranha themed pirates, she steals a boat, tries to follow and ends up abducted and betrothed to the fat pathetic pirate leader. Hilarity ensues.
...not really much gif worthy stuff. It toned down. Bit of silly fluff here and there of pushing people off a boat and weird flips etc but nothing like his violent massacres of earlier episodes. However something big is about to go down in episode16...
"Episode 16...the Birth of Hurricane Polymar"
O_O
We are about to get some origin story up in this thing. Till now there has been no explanation to how he got his powers, why he turns into vehicles, why he spin changes and wears a helmet and especially why he is avoiding his father (the chief of police) and ran away from home. The chief doesn't even know Takeshi's where abouts much less that he is working with Joe Kuruma who is stealing police cases and trying to solve them for fame.
Things are goin down.

Toku is still super amazing live. Those transformations, those stunts, those special effects, they are my favorite.

Ahh I see, so essentially two different subbing groups.
That Kamen Rider Drive voice actor and suit actor are pretty terrible though, damn.
Krim was the worst though. Sounded nothing like Chris Peppler (and looking him up, he looks like Tony Stark).
The real actors show up during the final stage show of the series however, and those are the ones with the most budget and care to them. They are a real treat.
Another fun ninnin ep this week. Fuuka is totes adorbs.
Next week we get pink in a suit (awwww yeah)
Wooooah wait did i just see what i think i saw with Drive next week? They better not be bait and seitching us with the (preview spoilers)

Let me take a guess at what shot from this episode was your most favorite...

Hey, I like it! It looks good on certain angles (just don't highlight the big wiggly pair of eyes there).
Also I'm a sucker for yellow-eyed riders.

dem eyes tho

I am telling you, there is a guy on the Drive team that comes along and fucks up every design.

Type Tridoron is fine...could be better without the headlights over his eyes though.

I think you might be right. Tridoron looks great from front-on. Whoever thought that it needed headlights and a faceplate that juts out an extra few inches should be fired.

He looks like a birdman
That kills me about Drive suits, just a tweak or two and they would be perfect.
Except Type Formula. That thing needs a complete overhaul.
Technique needed a different shade of green or a different color entirely. Wild, Speed, and Dead Heat are fine, save of course the goofy tires which is a problem with every suit except Formula. Well, it kinda works on Dead Heat and Wild, but it ruins Speed and makes Technique even worse.

I like the idea of Type Formula, but the part where it juts out looks dumb.
Type Technic's helmet looks like green mechanical Porky Pig so I like it for that

Gaim suits were great, except for Baron's OG costume looked like it made as cheap as fuck.

Chaser's really growing on me though, such a simple design, but it's pretty cool and I love the voice of the Signal Axe.

I honestly think it would have been better if Tridoron's eyes were the headlights
The only suits that need a complete overhaul, are the Dead Heat suits.

Dead Heat for Drive was such a fucking waste.
Wonder when we'll have a season where the main Rider with have the three or so variable starting forms, a first upgrade, a super form, a super-super form, and then an ultimate form.

Double was pretty much the perfect way to handle form changes seeing that all of them have different abilities and the fact that the next powerup, Fang, actually had a point to it existing (but at the same time, not overshadowing the other forms). It's not until Xtreme that the audience is thinking "why not just use that for everything?".
Wizard was also pretty nice in how it handled its forms (well, from the start anyways). The problem is that there's no real reason to switching to the normal forms after the Dragon forms were unlocked (I'll admit though, the DragoTimer was a nice alternative to the typical "penultimate form").
In short, I'd love to see another Rider with multiple forms from the outset.

Apparently Ghost is supposed to have that....
I'd also like to see Final Forms that had some rule or limit to their use, so the "why didn't he use that first?" didn't come into play.

If he has a movie cameo we should see him in magazines pretty soon. If he doesn't, then only around September.

Speaking of movie cameos, I've been wondering about the Mr. X in last week's episode...do you think it's possible that's gonna turn out to be a movie tie-in and it's Drive Type Next who is Mr. X?
Heh heh, the wheels on his feet.

All the Drive suit hate in this thread makes me a bit sad. I adore most of the suits. The only one I actively dislike is Dead Heat. I don't think Type Wild or Technic are as good as the others, but cool in their own way. I absolutely adore Type Tridoron, Speed and Formula, though. I find them much cooler than anything Gaim put out.
I love the idea of Dead Heat. Mixing the two riders for a cross over form is really cool. The problem is Dead-Heat's mix looks like a mess.

Yeah I like it and the eyes reminds me of OOOs' Shauta form, whereas the helmet reminds me of the Tajadol form.
Thanks, I just got that song out of my head

So...apparently the Tire Combination of Dream Vegas, Dimension Cab and Amazing Circus is called American Dream.
Amazing.
