Exciting news! I'm not ready for a Zero-One rewatch just yet, but I could definitely go for watching Ryuki again

No. Your typical Blu-Ray player are normally region locked and a region free Blu-Ray are not always cheap. I have seen people in both the Region 1 & 2 community that are like "Just buy a Region Player!!!" when not everyone has money on them.

Yeah, I'm looking them up now and I'm having trouble finding one that's less than £300...

If Zero-One's Blu-Rays are Region ABC then awesome, but otherwise this is definitely problematic for me

Another new survey, btw -- pretty basic one mind.

So here's the deal:

Regarding time frame of Zero-One

- No official subtitles exist
- Everything has to get approval by Toei before release
- That will tie things up considerably

I would expect Zero-One on stream this year. I would expect it on Blu-Ray *NEXT* year.

Is it Blu-Ray or DVD?

At the time of the stream Shout! Factory had not had the meeting to determine and finalize release plans for the physical media. So while all indications look to be Blu-Ray, until it's stated as such it would be premature to proclaim Blu-Ray.

Is this going to be it for the next year?

Short answer - no. Shout! Factory has more tokusatsu shows (including Kamen Rider) that they're looking at, working at, and hoping to bring over. Don't forget - they still have Super Sentai and Ultraman on stream too.

Grr, you said Super Sentai

Stay tuned and keep your fingers crossed.

Why is the YouTube Channel only putting the movie up for 24 hours?

That's Toei, not Team Kamen Rider. From what I gather, Team Kamen Rider paid for the movies to be subbed and "released", then fought hard for no region blocking.

Why can't the UK get this stuff

International trade laws, mostly. Hopefully a solution can be found.

Man. Sometimes the world is kinda dumb :lol

SHOUT! Factory is looking at other Tokusatsu material BEYOND Rider, Sentai, and Ultraman!? Is that what you're saying?

Look I understand the frustration with losing subs from subbers who take down content in an effort to support official releases, but the reality is that none of us are entitled to unauthorized subs at all. The only parties you should take umbrage with are Toei themselves and possibly those who legislate on international trade laws; not the subbers who are doing something in a hazy legal space solely out of passion.

I think you’re mistaking people being understandably frustrated with people harassing fansubbers. No-one is being unreasonable about this.

Cool that Rider is getting more official English releases. I liked... more than half of Zero-One so I would totally buy a Blu-Ray set! It had better be a Blu-Ray set.
