You know, I am NOT worried at all, but if worse came to worse, if Toku Blu-ray had subtitles on them, I would import.

Hell, if they did that anyway, I would buy them. If they did this, the only reason to download fansubs (for me) would be to watch the episodes as they air, and avoid spoilers.

I just checked, Toku DVDs and Blu-Rays have KILLER prices. I have no idea why 5 episodes of Shinkenger on DVD would cost $75! It's scarily expensive, when for that same price I could get 5 seasons worth of Justice League, plus extras!

There is the option of other countries having localized, subbed versions of Toku. For instance, my home country, Malaysia, sells legally licensed Toku seasons for about $16-$25 (exporters charge more) and apparently they have English subtitles. I wouldn't count on the subtitles or the video quality being amazing though, my sister's Studio Ghibli collection was a hack-job. Still, considering their cheap prices, I might consider picking up a few seasons whenever I get back home (which might not be anytime soon).

Toku has been around before that. Anyone remember that movie.. what was it called.. oh yeah Godzilla :P

:)

ACK... Sorry. I missed that line FORGIVE ME PLEASE ^^; In other news. It seems like DDL's, at least for those of us in the US, are now a thing of the past.

I really hope that isn't the case, or at least hopefully a new technology takes its place.

I don't mind waiting for things to stabilize, but I hope the Toku fandom isn't killed off in the meantime. I guess this makes me hope even more that Power Rangers will improve in quality. Anyhow, let's hope for the best like Alata would!

Well the toku fandom has been around for a while. Back in the day we were using 100x100 RM's of gingaman and gogov. It was smaller back then, and it might end up being that way again.

Not as long as torrents are around.

That's good to hear. I always thought the Toku fandom was a recent phenomenon of the past decade (with the advent of TV Nihon and similar fansubbers). I need to be re-educated, I guess.

I'm sorry to tell you guys that are "Torrents will save us", torrents can die just as fast and as easy as DDL's. Not to beat a dead horse, but all the downloads torrents or otherwise that we all do, are in fact illegal. ALL toku has a copyright holder. There could come a day when that holder decides that the fansubs and raws being spread illegally are not something they want done anymore.
