They need to get Carranger.

I'm okay with this as long as any series they get will get a video release.

Don't get your hopes up. One doesn't necessarily lead to the other.

Yeah since I don't think we will get any Kamen Rider shows on home video anytime soon. However getting legit subs of Kamen Rider on CR would be great.

It would be pretty awesome to get official Kamen Rider subs. Though that seems to be a deal Amazon might make instead, but who knows.

I don't get why people would want to get DVD's. Like if you can just instantly stream or download something, why get a DVD? Doesn't make much sense really.

1) Streaming sites don't keep their catalogues forever. All of a sudden they could pull a show and then what do you have? With a DVD you have a copy to watch whenever you choose.

2) Download from where exactly? Fansubs don't support the show themselves and I don't see anywhere offering legal downloads of toku any time soon.

My reasons to buy DVD and Blu-Rays are:

1. It can save hard drive space. With DVD and Blu-Rays, I don't have to worry about wasting space on my PC hard drive, my Ipod or my phone.

2. Streaming websites won't have the TV show or movies on their website forever. If I own something on DVD or Blu-Ray, I can watch anytime I want too. Not to mention stuff like Netflix or Hulu won't always have the shows or movies you want. For example, if I want to watch an obscure anime like Detonator Orgun, it won't be on Netflix. That's why I still own my DVD copy from 2009 because you can't find a legit way to watch it online.

3. If the titles that you download end up getting deleted or somehow destroy, you can't always re-download the TV show or movie if the company no longer has the license to that title. Also stuff like Itunes, won't let you re-download movies, TV shows and music seeing that you will get a "Your computer is not authorize to play or watch this song, movies or TV show" message.

Even James Rolfe is pretty spot on it.

^This. This is my arguement whenever someone asks me why I still bother to buy DVDs. Because I'd like to watch my Stargate SG-1 even when the Internet is down or my paid subscription runs out, because it's already bought and owned.

I notice digital media started to become popular around 2007 when they offer you disc copies to movies for the first time. I always threw those copies in the trash because you have a date until it's no longer works (I remember my Live Free or Die Hard DVD copy had a digital copy that would last until mid 2008). Not to mention, I feel like people are too lazy to go out and buy something like they used too. They can just download a title while sitting around doing nothing.
