Is there confirmation that SHOUT!/TokuSHOUTsu will be adding the Gain series? Shin's been on the Toei YT Channel and only there officially since that thing started.

I'm not familiar with the Pacific Time zone, so I double checked an obvious conflict: THIS LIVESTREAM COINCIDES WITH THE ULTRAMAN Z FINALE!!! How does one balance so many moving parts!?

What a wild pick for a movie to put on Toei's channel.

Not complaining though, I'd be glad to watch it again.

That a really weird choice. My best guess it to promote CSM Gaim. But I feel like Heisei Vs Showa would've been a better choice considering Hongo actor actually returns in that one and they do have the original series up.

Agree they do seem tohave some random picks... I mean maybe we'll get an official sub for Gaim soon that wouldn't be too bad. But it would be nice if there was a bit more of a pattern behind this stuff. Then again patterns sorta ruin any chance of a surprise (unless we look at shout factories surprise release of Jetman)

Though I gotta say I'm not gonna complain about another bit of official rider media.

The Gaim soccer movie. I mean, I love that movie for it's raw audacity, but of all the possible films they could have picked...

The movie was not bad, but I would still perfer the actual TV series. I would love to watch Gaim again.

This could be a test. Release the gaim movie- see how many views it gets, then decide if they want to do with the west what they did with Gaim for Japan. Ep 1 available for like a long time with the rest of the episodes being available for a week at a time/in batches until it reaches the finale.

Why take the time to officialyl sub a series that might not get many views I'm sure toei knows well enough that both sentai and rider reception varies series to series so a movie would be an ok way to test the waters i guess. At the very least we cant rule out the possibility of the series itself coming a little later.

Gaim if anything seems like a very safe bet -- it's very popular in western rider fandom, it's had a lot of merch lately and that side of the fandom often seems to be what TKR targets. I'm surprised it took this long if I'm honest.

Interesting choice.
That's about all I have to say about that :lol

I don't see anything about TokuSHOUTsu in the announcement. Am I blind?
