I'm not looking at this situation with total nihilism (though I gravitate to that mindset almost every day). I think our connection to Toku will become weird and complex, but I don't see a finality to it. Someone here made note that SHOUT! is trying to get more Toku to stream, but I never got a lot of detail regarding that issue. In addition, Hasbro is probably maintaining a close watch and may renew efforts to license Sentai via SHOUT! in order to pick-up the slack. Curious why SHOUT! and Team Rider are staying mostly silent, but that silence won't last forever and they can't put off some kind of response indefinitely. I think the face of what we love and, more importantly, how we go about loving it will undergo a kind of 'facelift', but I also feel as though something big maybe in the works which precipitated that C&D and while it looks like a harbinger of near-doom, it's actually a sign that the dynamic could be shifting once again to a more positive outcome than we initially believe, and that dynamism doesn't necessarily need to worry about what Toei does or doesn't do, as cultural movements tend not to ask corporations and lawyers for permission! |
I still find it odd that Ultraman is getting more treatment than Kamen Rider in the west when Kamen Rider seems to have a bigger auddience. I know the original Ultraman show was on TV back in the day, but I doubt the Baby Boomer generation is buying the Ultraman stuff released by Mill Creek.

Tsuburaya is certainly better at this. current shows are subbed on YouTube. even some stage shows are subbed officially. multiple shows and movies released on Blu ray. a Netflix animated series. Marvel is even doing Ultraman comics.

Wish I could buy the Ultraman DVDs.

I think what sort of helps to consider is well, Ultraman is really all Tsuburaya has so a western and worldwide push makes sense. Especially since there were quite a few overseas ventures before the dark ages.
Toei though, we need to remember how massive Toei is, it isn't just Toku. When it comes to push, there are things that Toei has that are clearly more popular and worth more time and effort than Rider. So it makes sense as to why they aren't as heavy in pushing their Toku stuff in the west, because they've got a lot of other stuff doing well that they're trying to push too. |

Yeah recognizability and popularity are two very different things. For example, did you know, globally Sonic toys and merch outsell Mario toys and merch? But I'm sure I don't have to tell you which of those two sells more video games.

Stupid question: Are Rider and Sentai the only toku by TOEI that TV-Nihon provides subs for?
