Toei's run by complete dinosaurs who have no idea how the modern internet works, I'm dissapointed but not surprised.

Wouldn't be surprised if it's also a TV Asahi related issue too since they're pretty heavily involved in Rider.

That's fair. I suppose I'm a bit biased considering Toei has a hilariously depressing track record of going after anyone who uploads footage of their anime online or doing something they don't like (anyone remember when they made Funimation redub a scene in Dragon Ball Z after they found out Team Four Star was hired for some voice cameos?).

Yeah, there's really not much information to go off on why Zeztz is getting this treatment, and I'll acknowledge that Toei's hands might actually be tied through contracts, but, again, I wouldn't be surprised if this was out of Toei not fully understanding how modern media works.

With their anime shows, they let them stream on CR. Not sure why they can't do the same with Kamen Rider?

Crunchyroll doesn't do live-action, and Toei doesn't have another such partner. Shout! Factory is aiming to be one for tokusatsu, but the company itself is not of that caliber. And in general, this is more of a test broadcast, the results of which will influence the further decision.

Amazon Prime.

They have the yearly airing Sentai and Rider shows in Japan anyways IIRC, plus, Amazons, Black Sun and Shin were all available in the west with subtitles.

I haven't really been keeping up with Zeztz but wasn't the AI only used for the teaser trailer?

Better. Not ideal, but better.
