It can't be.....

I neeeeed it.

Y'know what? That seems somewhat likely! I can't think of anything about a minute long that would be a really cool surprise to keep under wraps until release, and that does match up with the series preview being a minute long. It also makes sense that if they got the license to Kamen Rider at all they might wanna shoot for more than one series (even if BLACK alone is huge).

It'd be REALLY funny though -- BLACK is a hugely significant part of Kamen Rider history so it being one of the first five or so series to get an official english release like this? Makes sense; but getting RX before something like W or Den-O? Little bit hilarious

Considering that Black RX was used as the basis for Saban's Masked Rider, it kinda makes sense that it would be among the first to be released in the States. It's definitely the one series people not too deeply aware of Kamen Rider could pick up in a store and think "wait, I remember this show".

Plot twist, it's Saban's Masked Rider.

Listen you joke and say that but I would unironically be fine with Discotek of all people picking up and releasing Masked Rider by doing an SD-BD release of it.

As a reminder, Discotek is the group that puts out all the bells and whistles when it comes to restoration of media, just imagining that is both hilarious and something that'd be incredible for them to do. Like if we somehow got the best quality Masked Rider footage out of it? As someone who's only watched one episode of Masked Rider (The Christmas Special) I'd track it down and buy it.

:)

This reminds me; remember when you boot up the disc/VHS, you were treated to the trailers of the coming shows/films on VHS/DVD ? It makes you hunt te copy of it. Good times :)

Not personally a fan of the cover art, but I'm actually quite excited to pick this up.

Preorder is up on Amazon for Kamen Rider Black Blu-ray. $79.95 listed price.
