TokuSHOUTsu to release Ryuki in November, Zero-One in January

A sudden update from SHOUT today has at last given us a solid date for both shows and an update on what's going on -- as things stand, they plan to release Ryuki in November and Zero-One in January. A further tweet clarified that there is to be a press release on Zero-One's physical release soon, but that we can expect pre-orders to go up in Fall.

As Mr. Burns puts it, "Excellent!"

I was even planning to watch Ryuki after I start and then finished up on Agito and I'm even more than halfway through its US counterpart, Dragon Knight, which I'm seriously enjoying.

Glad we have an update and that they're taking time to make these releases good. Hopefully Zero-One sells well enough for us to get other shows on Blu-Ray.

"We also need to maintain the quality you've come to expect from us" What a way to assure fans, especially after the Gridman stuff

Glad to hear it! I hope the quality of the subs are good...

I will definitely be vexed if they aren't.

Critical as I've been of Team Rider-related stuff before, something I will give praise to is the subs themselves. Kuuga and Kamen Rider's SHOUT subs were of genuinely high quality that in many ways exceeded what we had before; so I imagine that Ryuki and 01 will follow through with that -- especially with how long we've been waiting. Another reply in that thread also seems to imply they went and re-did their Ryuki subs even though they said they were already done at announcement; so clearly they're putting a lot of thought and effort into these.

I do think the long waiting times could be stemmed by doing movies or other spin-off content in the meantime, or one-off projects like ZX or J; or even honestly licensing already-existing high-quality fansubs for certain recent shows. But at the very least the long waiting time seems to guarantee we get a good product at the end of it all

The Gridman release was not from Shout Factory.

I generally have really liked Shout's subtitles, even if they have occasional hiccups, so I'm happy to see them expanding what they offer. Definitely going to get the Zero-One Blu-Ray.

You might want to take that up with Mill Creek, not Shout Factory.
