With several great sub-groups subbing Kamen Rider, and various Rider merch being readily available through HLJ, AmiAmi, BBTS and the like, (aside from some exclusives) I've never really understood why people even want to see it adapted or dubbed for western audiences. Is it really that hard watching something with subtitles?
Some will say it's so Rider merch will show up in western stores, but let's be honest there's not going to be Figuarts hanging from pegs in Wal Marts and Targets. Some American toy company will step in with 5 POA hunks of plastic, or if we're incredibly lucky Hasbro will make gummy-jointed 6.5 inch Riders that don't scale with anything on the Japanese market. Granted, I'm sure something like that would appeal to a fair number of Rider-fans, but I'm not one of them. Not to mention, there's already the whole "Common Rider? Isn't that like a Power Rangers rip-off?" stigma and I feel this would just get worse. Plus, I'm just not interested in watching a watered down extra silly version of a show I've already seen. Also for every watered down show we could get, we could also get stuff like Time Force or RPM

I would be fine if we got official Kamen Rider subs and dubs in the US. With dubs, they have gotten better over in the years (You still had good dubs back then too). Shin Godzilla's dub was pretty good and felt like it was dub seriosuly than the old Godzilla dubs.
