Akibaranger Official subtitles
 

...that you can't watch outside of Asia :lol

Orends: Range - Official Unofficial Sentai Akibaranger English Subs Now Available on YouTube!

Holy crap, this has been officially subbed, that is totally...

Balls. :(

What is it with Toei and not letting other people enjoy their shows? That's a royal bummer.

I was about to say that it's awesome that they're acknowledging their English-speaking fanbase, but I can't really call this awesome.

Lameness is power xD

How does English subs help Asia?

Because most Asian countries have English as it's second official language. Hong Kong and Philippines are the major two that have English subs and dubs in Asia.

Well I guess that sort of makes sense. However, what is the point of region locking it? It isn't like someone in the US is licensing it to release it subbed on America.

And why the hell did they not put these subs on their Blu-Rays for the show? If they were subbed, I would definitely buy the series because it was that good.

For the same reason video games (except the current gen) and DVDs that have no chance of getting an American release are still region locked: Because international copyright laws are WEIRD.

PS If anything needs a DVD release, it's the proper English dub of Kabuto the Philippines made. What little I've seen (the first 2 episodes) is quite good.
