It would be pretty awesome to get official Kamen Rider subs. Though that seems to be a deal Amazon might make instead, but who knows.
I don't get why people would want to get DVD's. Like if you can just instantly stream or download something, why get a DVD? Doesn't make much sense really. 2. Who knows how long that show/movie will be streaming for. Netflix is a prime example of bullshit. For example, they'll have in Oct like Halloween 6 and maybe Resurrection, but not the original or its sequels. They take things down all of the time. I can't even watch the good Avengers cartoon on there anymore becasue they replaced with that garbage newer one. 3. Streaming will never look or sound as good as a physical disc. Usually the beginning of a TV series has to load, so you are waiting there with piss poor blocky looking video quality while it loads the episode. You can't pause it either because it to wait either because it only loads it when playing. 4. I have something to show for what I pay for on my shelf. 5. I won't rewatch something I don't own because I would rather rewatch something I do own. 6. You have to be connected to the internet to stream. What if your internet is down? What if you are moving and waiting for Comcast to come a week later to set up your internet? What if the machine you watch your stream on is down for an update? What is the streaming site itself is down due to some jackass hacker? I don't have to deal with any of that when I have a disc because I just turn on my player, pop in the disc, and I'm watching it. |

Eh what ever, I still find physical copies not that great. When I watch a show I typically don't go back and rewatch it. Also it saves quite a bit of money when I can just stream something. Maybe its because I spent a lot of time on Youtube, so I'm used to streaming, but that's just my personal preference.

Netflix does have to pay to obtain licenses, after all. So if it feels something isn't getting the views it should, why should they continue to pay so much for a movie that's not getting any attention?
I mean, it does kind of suck, but legal streaming means you're not guaranteed everything you want, which is why physical media does have it's advantages.

Blockbuster and Video Factory never had that problem. I used to be able to walk into any BB/VF and get any movie that existed.
I know it's all about licensing, but I still think that is bullshit. It should be no different than it was when renting in physical stores. Quote:

Well, there is a bit of a difference with availability, too.
With physical stores, you were limited to how many copies the store decided to purchase. They could purchase as many copies of popular movies as they saw fit, while less popular or poorly received movies would be sitting with only one or two copies on the shelves for rent. With streaming, there's an infinite number available at all times, and they have to pay equal prices for both. If they started a deal to get the 7 Saw films, but numbers show that only the first two were getting a decent amount of views, why continue to pay the hundreds of thousands of dollars to host the other 5 that no one are watching? It's just a theoretical scenario, but that's basically the gist of it. Quote:
Then what's the point of watching a show at all if you aren't going to bother revisiting it? I watch things with the intent on liking them enough to rewatch them over. I've watched Breaking Bad twice in the last year. I've rewatched Dairanger 18 times. Hell, I used to watch Transformers The Movie every month until a few year's ago.
"What's the point of watching a show at all if you aren't going to bother revisiting it?" How...What does that even mean?

This sentence makes no sense. Like not every show that I am going to see I'm going to visit again. I might enjoy a show, but once I've finished it, that's it, I finished it. Same with movies I might sit down and watch one, but it doesn't mean I'm going to watch it again in the near future or ever. If you could d please explain this sentence to me. |

I really hope they're able to do this and cover some of the main Kamen Rider series, would be really cool to see Gaim or W(double? Not sure the right way to write out the name tbh) on Crunchyroll.
